LOAN ASSOCIATIONS
INVEST 3 BILLIONS
Total Exceeds Amount oil
Realty Mortgages Held by
= Insurance Companies.

The present amount invested In
home building mortgages by building
and loan associations in the United
States is approximately $3.o0o,0OO,O 600,
millions OF dollars more than the
total amount which all the life in
surance companies in America have
invested in their entire real estate
mortgage holdings, according to flg-
ures reaching the National Asssocia-
ton of Real Estate Boards from off,
cfal reports. Rapid increase in the
part building and loan associations
are taking in the financing of home
building throughout the country Is
indicated in the fact that one-third
of the total assets of these associa-
lions has been acquired within the
past three years. The $4,000. 900. 900
loan fund represents the savings of n
total membership of approximately
5000, 600.
Creation of a building and loan
bureau in the Kansas state banking
department is a very recent develop
mcnt indicative of the growth of the
institution of building and loan as
Sociations.
Mortgage loan investment of life
insurance companies, according to
statistics representing 81 per cent of
the companies and all the large COM
ranies, now totals $2,556.7 1868.
OF this fund. large part has gone
into the financing of office buildings,
apartment buildings and industrial
structures and into farm loans. Mort
cages on real estate. still the largest
item of the assets of life insurance
companies, constitute now, however,
only 34.33 per cent of their total in
T"Stments, tables of their holdings
show. In 1894 this percentage was
45. In the year 1875 mortgages made
up over 5S per cent Of their assets.

Parker Says U. S. Shipping Board
Not Interested in Trip.
By the Assoeiaied Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. December 22-The
Cunard liner Berengaria was selected
for the American Bar Associations
voyage to England next summer be-
cause Cunard officials changed a sail
ing date to oblige the association
after the United States Shipping
Board officials had Offered no en-
couragement nor suggested that they
were interested" in an effort to ar
range passage on the Leviathan, ac-
cording to Alton B. Parker, chairman
of the committee arranging the trip.
Mr.. Parker, in a statement made
public today, replied to attacks made
in Washington Thursday on the Sc
lection of the Berengaria and a state
ment made by Chairman James A.
Farrell of the United States Steel
Corporation criticizing the lack of
support Of the American merchant
marine by the American people.
The Bar Association delegation, Mr..
Parker said, wanted to be in England on
a certain date, in order to take ad-
vantage of special program de-
veloped by their English hosts, and H.
B. Beitler of Philadelphia and Fred
erick E. Wadham, treasurer of the
association, were delegated to con-
suit officials of steamship companies,
including the operators of the
Leviathan.
The Cunard line, these committee
men reported to Mr.. Parker, "was the
only one that came anywhere near
paying attention to the wishes of
the Bar Association"

TO M|S|NFORM i. S:
Officials Emphasize Position
Following Statement by
TchitCherin.

The State Departments position that
communist propaganda in the United
States must cease and that good faith
in the discharge of Russia's interna-
tional obligations must be demonstrat-
ed before the American government
will enter into any negotiations with
the soviet government is emphasized
in connection with Foreign Minister
fchitcherin's suggestion that authen-
ITCHY of revolutionary instructions"
recently made public here be submitted
to arbitration.
Statement "Propaganda."
Tchitcherin's statement yesterday
denying that the Russian soviet gov
ernment had ever sent any documents
to the workers party of America and
his assertion that if such papers ex-
listed they were forgeries, is regarded
as being, in itself. a form of propa-
ganda in that it is an attempt to mis-
lead the American public into believing
there is a real difference between the
soviet government and the communist
international. The soviet gocernment
the State Department holds, is an or
gan of the communist party" and the
lnternationale is the party's organ for
international communist propaganda

Pennsylvania and Baltimore and

Quarters.

The consolidated ticket Office at

crate its own ticket Office at 613

ters in the Woodward building at

road officials announced today.
Thomas L. Lipsett, district passen-
ger agent for the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn. explained that discontinuance
of the consolidated office by his road
and the Baltimore and ONO is merely
another move to put the lines on
their pre-war basis. He pointed out

American treaty, signed a short time

SAYS BAR BANNED
i. S. LINES FOR TRIP
Ship Board Says Permission
Was Asked to Attend Law
yers' Meeting and Denied.

The decision of the American Bar
Association to use a British ship for
transporting its members to London
for meeting next summer was the
subject of a statement from the
Shipping Board today detailing the
efforts made to induce association
officers to employ a liner under the
American flag.
The board, the statement said, was
willing to meet any terms or condi-
tions" offered by any foreign COM
petitor, and several conferences were
held with committees OF the associa-
ton in order to promote the inter
ests of the passenger feet operated
by the board.
An attack on the decision OF the
bar association to send its delega-
tion on the Cunarder Berengaria was
made in the Senate just before the
Christmas recess, and a resolution of
inquiry is pending there.
The boards statement in full fol-
lows:
"Oficials of the United States lines

fic manager at once took personal

association, and arranged numerous
meetings, not only with him. but
with the committee then considering
the matter, one of which meetings
was held in the Office Of John w.
Davis chairman Of the London meet
ing commttee), at which rates, ships
and technical features were discussed.
Both the steamship Leviathan and
the steamship George Washington
were offered to the committee.

whether they We're willing to meet
any offer made by an English line
and were Informed that they were,
which was confirmed by a letter stat
ing we are prepared to make the
same terms and conditions as has
been or will be advanced by any of

"Mr Kemper, secretary; Mr.. Wad-
hams, treasurer, and Mr.. Davis, pres
ident, were invited on the trial trip
of the Leviathan and Messrs. KEN
per and Wadhams attended, at which
time every phrase of the trip was
discussed.
Later meetings were held and the
steamship George Washington was
offered, with the agreement to turn
all OF its accommodations, amount
ing to 94S persons, into first class
sociation to sell and allot the accom-
modations as it desired.
"A new committee Of the Bar AS
sociation was appointed suddenly
which held a meeting on October 81

thereafter the information was re-
ceived that the British ship Beren-
garia had been picked"
