any other class of institutions in, the country.
 The circumstances that made neces- sary the demand for the enactment of a Federal Building Loan Bank act grew out of the abnormal housing shortage of recent years which re- vealed the fact that the building and loan associations of the country, des- pite their constant growth in mem bership and resources, were, as a rule, entirely unable to meet the demands made ufaQn them by legitimate home seekers The testimony laid before committees of Congress by represen- tatives of the United States League. indicated that in every section of the land, the building and loan associa- tions were flooded with loan applica- tionS far in excess of their ability to meet. Some system must be devised it was concluded, whereby the nor mal resources of these associations could be supplemented with funds borrowed by them for the further promotion of their home building ac- tivities. Thus was devised the Fed eral Building Loan Bank Bill, known as the Cald dar-Nolan Bill, the princi- pies and machinery of which are very simple
 The system is to start with the ap- pointment by the president upon con- tendent of Federal Building Loan Banks who is to be the head of a bureau in the Treasury Department at Washington, having charge of the organization and supervision of Fed eral Building Loan Banks.
 At the beginning the country is to be divided into eleven districts, with authority in the superintendent to determine the district boundaries or to increase the number of districts as

[ the developments of the system may
 require.
 In each district the superintendent,
 by cooperation with the building and
 loan associations of the district, shall
 organize a Federal Building Loan
 Bank. The capital of the bank, which
 may start at minimum of $100,000
 in shares of $1.o00, must be sub
 scribed and held exclusively by building and loan associations in the E district. As few as ten associations, if their aggregate resources equal $5,- 900, 900, may be permitted to organ ize the district cbank. but any asso- citation in the district, if qualified un-
 der the definition in the Calder Nolan bill. becomes entitled to mem bershjp in the bank through the pur- chase of one or more shares of stock therein.
 The control and management of a
 building loan bank, subject to the in the hands of officers and directors, chosen by the building and Doan as
 soeiations which own it's capital stock, subject to the supervision of
 the Federal superintendent. Practically the sole function of the
 Building Loan Bank in any district
 is to issue it's debenture bonds ma turng n not less than five years from date sell the same and turn over the proceeds to any member association holding stock in the bank, which must agree to repay the same in semi-an- | nua1 insta1In1 e11ts of principal and in- 1 terest, and agree to secure the pay ment of it's Indebtedness by assign | ing to the bank, 1s collateral secur- | ity, first lien bonds and mortgag l upon dwelling house property. A l Federal Building Loan Registrar in each district appointed by the super | intendent of banks accepts the de- posits of these mortgages, and is re-
 quired to see that the collateral shall at least equal and shall always be | maintained at a value at least 25 per cent. in excess of the borrowing mem bers liability to the bank. Bonds
 are to be issued in series as money is | needed, and while the bonds are primarily the obligation of the Build | ing Loan Bank, their payment is

the member associations who borrow in a particular series, and whose semi annual amortization payments will be so designed as to redeem the bonds as they mature. The bonds provid- ed for in the act may be issued in $20 to $1,000 each. A small com mission is to be charged by the Building Loan Bank to the member asso ociations in connection with the f1oatation of bonds, and this consti- tutes practically the only source of earnings Of the bank, excepting the return upon it's capital stock which must be invested in government or state bonds.
 Perhaps the most important provi- sion of the Calder-No1an bill is one that makes the bonds of the Federal
 Building Loan. Bank system exempt from federal, state and municipal | taxation, are the bonds of the i Farm Loan system. This IS the sec | ton of the proposed law which has excited the chief opposition, for req | sons that lie upon surface of things. | The argument is made by the build | ing and loan associations, however, | that if it. is the part of wisdom to l grant taxation exemption to the bonds of the Farm Loan system, in
 order that the agriculturallsfs Of the
 country may have access to adequate capital, at reasonable rates. there is
 much more reason why that greater
 element of the population which is
 made up of the home seekers of the ] cities, towns and villages of the
 country, should have a similar ad-
 vantage Should the Calder-Nolan
 bill become a law, it is believed that
 a Federal Building Loan Bank vii

 eleven districts provided for in the
 act, by the building and loan associa- l tions of these districts, and that these banks would be quickly made me

WashingtOn.-An immigration of

mate of federal officials, based on fig
ures for the fiscal year ended June
80 last which have just been issued.
Although three months behind the tide
of aliens, which has been mounting
at a prodigious rate since late IN the
spring, the statistics disclose many Sig

notable shifting of the sources whence
come the new arrivals.
So far as net increase in population
and the replenlshment of the labor
market are concerned the year ending
in June witnessed a greater movement
from America to Europe than from
Europe to America, just as careful
observers had estimated. The total
immigration from all foreign lands
was 430,001. and the emigration was

in population, however, came from

George E. Young Of Shanghai Says

New York.-Following the lmporta-
tion of walnuts to China by the eurly
missionaries the Chinese developed
this industry 80 carefully that It has
now reached tremendous proportions,
according TO George E. Young of
Shanghai, China, who has been in the
Orient ten years. Mr.. Young said
that the Chinese are growing more and
more interested In their lands and con-
siderable development will be seen dur
ing the lext few years.

China by the American missionaries.

villages" said Mr.. Young. "The
methods Of preparing the nuts for mar
ket are most primitive, but as labor
is cheap they are able to send them
TO this country and compete favor
ably with the domestic market. For
the American market they use only
the highest grade nuts. They select
the bright colored and shiny nuts and
they are ble6ched, sorted and packed
according to grade. Those of specked
and inferior shells are cracked and
the meat is packed for confectionery
purposes. This cracking is now done
by hand because the only walnut

on account Of the large proportion
Of oil they contain they make an ex-
cellent fuel. The Manchurlan. wal
nut commands a special advantage In
the confectionery making trade be-
cause Of superior flavor ana texture
Of the meat.
This spring the price quoted to
American importers for delivery at
San Francisco was us high as 20 to
30 cents, including cost, insurance and
freight, with the transpGcific shipping
rate at $3.50 per ton. The quota
tions are now around 25 cents. The
whole nuts are shipped In 100-pound
bags Of burlap which are made In
India. The walnut meat is very care
fully wrapped In paper and packed In
wooden boxes to keep out moisture,
which Is likely to produce mold. In
the United States the walnuts are
placed in cold storage. which preserves
their freshness. preventing drying. and
the crop which we ship the last Of
June does not get on the market here
until some months later"
Handicapped by Superstition.
Mr.. Young pointed out that accord
ing TO the last issued bulletin of the
Department of Commerce for May,
1920, 10,121,8S pounds of walnuts
came to the United States from China
IN the IL months ended with May, and
their value was $l.SS7, ,491. He says
that the Chinese are still greatly
handicapped by their old superstItlons.
After the age-old practice of having
all streets and passages Irregular o
that the evil spirits cannot find their
way, they are laying out their farms
In patchwork order, making the roads
rather difficult for anyone not f6mIl-
lar with the locality.
"There Is large and growing mar
ket In China for every kind of ma
chinery." said Mr.. Young. ''This is
particularly true Of machinery used in
the textile industry. The Chinese are
going to be competitors of the whole
world in textiles. When a ChInaman
figures out anything and decides to
adopt 1t in his business he is not con-
tent to stop there. He is buying ma.
chinery now for every process In which
he has learned Its advantages.
''The Chinese have no feeling against
the Americans, but, Of course, their
hatred for the japanese grows worse.
Americans in business in China are
disappointed with the class of men
from this country who have rushed
into the oriental field In the belief
that great postwar profits lie there.
They are the cheapest sort of traders
and they are not even intelligent In
business"
