Savings Banks
Oppose Bill for
Home Loan Banks
American Bankers Associa-
ton Section Attacks Cal
der Plan as ssPernicious,
Dangerous Legislation

The savings bank section of the
American Bankers Associa ton yester-
day launched vigorous campaign
against the bill introduced in the
United States Senate by Senator CAL
der, providing for the creation of
loan banks for aiding in financing
the construction Of homes.
John j. Pulleyn, president of the
Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank and
chairman Of the committee on amorti-
zation of mortgage loans Of the saw
ings bank section Of the association
in letter sent out to members of the
committee, characterized the Calder
bill as "pernicious and dangerous"
Promoted by Labor Department
"The Department of Labor for the last
several MONTHS" said Mr.. ,Pulleyn in
his letter to the committee, has been
furthering a campaign in conjunction
with the United States League of Local
Building and Loan Associations. Money
was appropriated by Congress to the
Department of Labor to investigate the
building situation. However, much OF
these funds has been utilized in the
promotion OF a campaign which reaches
its crystalization in the introduction
of this bill.
"The bill is pernicious, dangerous,
and threatens situation eventually
detrimental to the social fabric. 1t
seems that every Tom, Dick and Harry
can successfully approach the Adminis-
tration, and through the Administration
reach Congress, with any new tangled
idea designed to create a government
bureau to take over the functions of
business, and thus promiscuously use
the credit of the government; justify
ing their action by the solution of
temporary problem.
I'm the recent canvass made by the
United States Department of Labor
among building and loan associations
of the country to ascertain their at
tltude toward the proposed Fedora!
home loan bank plan, the return was
$50 in favor, II in opposition, and 562
neutral.
"Thesc Federal home loan banks
are designed to be used only by the
building and loan associations. The
bo!uS VI tHeSe DdnkS issued IN the
same manner as under the Federal
Farm Loan system may be circulated
up to twenty times of capital and
surplus, but while the issues of bonds
are restricted to this provision and
must be secured by first twenty-year
mortgages on real estate, the banks
have the power, on the other hand to
borrow money on personal security
without restriction. The right thus
given the building and loan assoca-
tons to indorse and guarantee mort
cages and other securities to such
central institution would abolish
present wise laws, limiting their debt
ncurring power and enable them to
pyramid on their credit.
No Necessity for System
"The seriousness of this departure
is that in many states these associa-
tions have side-t tracked their home
building function and are in fact, vert-
able savings banks. Consequently
they ought not to incumber their de-
posits with liabilities, or if they do
so and obtain fund in the open market.
they ought not to be exempted from
taxes"
According to Mr.. Pulleyn, there is
no necessity for Federal home loan
bank system to cover a temporary
need for funds.
