Low grain price's and high interest rates are forcing Minnesota farmers to the wall, while the depressed steel industry has led to rising unemployment among iron-ore miners.

He returned home with the promise of a $1 billion advance against future oil sales from the U.S. Treasury's Exchange Stabilization Fund and another $1 billion loan from the Commodity Credit Corporation for grain purchases from the U.S. Meanwhile, an additional loan of $1.5 billion was being negotiated with the central banks of seven other Western countries and Japan...
