Such a circumvention was devised at the White House last week for the Law of 1875 which was holding up about $110,000,000 in bounty payments to planters who had plowed under their cotton (TIME, Aug. 21). That law required the Government to deduct old debts due it by a claimant before paying out any claim. It was adroitly sidestepped by having cotton bounty checks made out to the joint account of debtor farmers and the Governor of the Farm Credit Administration. No farmer could cash his check without the consent of Governor Morgenthau. Governor Morgenthau promised to withhold...
