per cent increase nation
wide.
Delegates to the two-day

for additional delivery points
for soybeans in Chicago

strongly worded resolution
opposing U.S. government
backed palm oil loans to
countries that produce palm
oil for export. The resolution
pointed out that, despite
government assurances to
the contrary, “the U.S.
government and in
ternational lending in
stitutions have continued to
approve such loans at in
terest rates substantially
lower than commercial
rates... Sixty-four million
dollars’ worth of palm oil
loans were granted to edible
oil exporting countries in the
first half of 1977 alone.”
About 1,700 persons from
30 states attended the con
vention.
