REALT0R SAYS
HOME BUYERS

100 Per Cent of Loan Trans
actions on Realty Paid OFF,
Says Hobbs

Development of real estate finance
has become, perhaps, the most i'm
portant factor in home ownership.
James d. Hobbs, realtor, said before
the real estate class at the Y. M. G. Al.
There Is little difficulty, Hobbs
pointed out, in building q home il
the money Is at hand to pay cost.
Perhaps, however. 95 per cent of
those who build or buy do not have
sufficient money with which to pay
the cost price.
Yet experience shows, was his
startling declaration, that practically
100 per cent Of those who borrow to
build or buy a home on the install
1t1ent plan eventually pay Off their
obligation or reduce It SO that it
forms the safest security for. the
lender. The operative builder must
arrange with definite accuracy the
financing of his operations.
Suitable Land.
Realizing the need and demand
for house accommodations in a grow.
ing city, the builder will secure the
most suitable land available and
after dividing it into city lots pro.
ceeds to construct homes.
Frequently the land owner is un.
able to dispose Of his holding in
small parcels to. various buyers and

necessary to properly develop 1t with
modern buildings, and is therefore
ready to negotiate with q builder.
Under such an arrangement the
builder often secures the land for a
partial cash payment, giving a mort.
gage for the unpaid balance, and re-
leases the mortgage in sections as
his building operations develop,
This makes 1t possible for ain oper-
alive builder to create homes with
out the complete outlay of his own
capital and provides means for the
average person to purchase home
with a limited amount of cash and
an arrangement to pay for his home
through a monthly payment system.
This gives the purchaser an OPP
portunity to enjoy the comforts of
home ownership, and sometimes at
a carrying charge less than he might
ordinarily pay for rent and serves
as distinct incentive toward COM
pulsory accumulation of savings in
the payment of his mortgage.
Financing Arranged.
A great majority of real estate
deals. Hobbs said. require some de-

gree Of financing to bring purchaser
and seller in agreement as to terms.
When the security is good, financing
is almost always practical, for the
reason that financial and other in
situations usually have available
funds which they are anxious to
invest in real estate mortgage Sc
curities.
The experienced broker is familiar
with the sources from which such
funds may be obtained. AS a~result,
he is able to consummate many deals
where the purchaser has not the
full amount Of cash required by the
seller.

Self Determination
BY PAUL HOVER.

(Staff Correspondent Of the Fed. pres.,
VIENNA, Austria, April sO.-The
peace" conference between Rumanis
and Soviet Russia, called in Vienna tc
settle differences between these two
countries, has gone up in smoke. This
occasioned no surprise to the initiated
Four weeks ago, in discussing this
question at the soviet embassy in
Berlin, / was told that the Russian
delegation headed by Krestinsky fully
expected that break would come
over the Bessarabian question.
The Rumanians insisted that this

Soviet Russia declined to recognize

The Rumanian government never
bothered to ask the people of Bes.

annexed. The Russians feel certain
that the farmers. workers and the ma.

sarabia. The chief of the Rumanian
delegation declared that it was useless
to continue the conference if Russia
insisted upon this point. Krestinsky
insisted and the conference blew up.
Poincare Forced Annexation.
The Rumanians would probably not
have been so prompt about breaking
up the conference, had they not been
egged on by Poinca-e. The French
premier saw to it chat the French
chamber adopted a vote sanctioning
the annexation on the day before the
Vienna conference assembled. This
was intended as a warning to Soviet
Russia that in dealing with the vassal,
Rumania, Russia is really dealing with
the principal. France. This is the
second time recently that Poincare
has taken hand against Russia. II
was largely at Frances suggestion that
the Russo-Chinese negotiations were
broken off after the plenipotentiaries
of both sides had already come to an
agreement. The conjecture seems
justified that Poincare sees in Soviet
Russia the greatest obstacle to his
imperialistic plans.

WASHINGTON, April 3O.--Passage
of the child-labor amendment resolu-
ton thru the House became certain,
and it's passage thru the Senate al
most equally assured, when Rep. Mel
son, leader Of the House progressives
opening the debate for his group, de
ciared that "chiId slavery must go,
and reminded the politicians that the

Woe to the person, party or state.

slavery, encounters the wrath OF
American mothers. / cannot imagine
a person or a party so foolish, nor car
believe there Is single state in the
union that in our day would directly
harbor or defend the grosser forms OF
child slavery; and yet it seems
strange how opposition to this consti
tutional amendment by special inter
ests seeks to shield itself behind the
allegation Of state overeignty-the
right, duty, responsibility, self-interesi
or pride of backward states TO deal
with or fail to deal with this evil in
their own way and without interior
ence from Uncle Sam. This institu
ton. insidious in its encroachments
and intolerable to the moral sense OF
mankind, is prevalent in states where
industries are powerful enough to de
feat state laws or prevent their en-
forcement. The Congress Of the Unit
ed States will offer this constitutions
amendment to the states, in order tc
give Uncle Sam the right to protect
his infant children"

but actually they committed no
crime. They were accused and
found guilty solely because they
were members of the l. w. w. and
had fought against the exploitation
policies Of the Puget Sound lumber
harons, and because they defended
their hall in Centralia against a
mob that had come to drive them
from the town.
1.-THE defendants were tried be-
fore a manifestly prejudiced judge,
who refused to permit the defense
to introduce any Of mass of evil
dence showing that group OF Cen
tralia business men had conspired
to attack the I. w. w. hall, but adj
mitted all evidence offered by the
prosecution to indicate that the de-
PENDANTS had conspired to fire on
the Armistice Day parade.
Six of the jurors who tried the
case have admitted under oath that
they were terrorized into convict
ing the accused men; and declare
that they now believe them inno-
cent. Yet under the laws of Wash
ington. the time is long past when
any new evidence can affect the
Centralia verdict. Only Governor
Louis Hart has authority to free the
imprisoned workers.
Hart knows the facts. But he
ignores them. He was made gov
ernor by the lumber interests.
When the prosecutions evidence
giving in the Centralia trial had
grown weak, when it had utilized
most of its repertoire of spectacular
tricks to assail the integrity of the
men on trial, it asked Governor
Hart to send troops. Hart sent
them; neither trial Judge nor sher-
if knew of the call-and there
had been no disorder, nor any indi-
cation of such.
only the combined action of the
working people of Washington can
set the CentraIia victims free. Such
strong pressure must be brought to
bear upon Governor Hart that he
will no longer dare to ignore the
facts in this case"
Fell Inside Hall.
Outstanding points in the Centralii
situation, as detailed in the new
pamphlet, include these:
DR.. Frank Biclword's testimony
that when the parade stopped be-
fore the I. W. W. HaH, he offered to
lead a raid If enough would follow,
but that others pushed ahead of
him, forced open the door-and
then the shots came from inside.
Evidence that Lieutenant Grimm
led the attack On the hall and was
slain in the doorway instead of
around the corner as the prosecu-
ton claimed.
An afidavit from a woman who
declares she heard Harry Sellers,
juror, say in advance Of the trial:
"If 1 get on that jury I'll hang every
god-damned one of them"
Judge John M. Wilson's refusal
to let the defense show any of
these facts. That 100 Centralia
business men conspired to drive
the l. w. w. out Of town; that there
had been raid on an older I. w. w.
hall in Centralia, in which the I'M
ionists we're dragged out, lifted by
the ears onto motor trucks, and
were deported to another county;
that the 1. w. w. had been warned
that their hall would be attacked
on Armistice Day, asked for police
protection, and we're denied it, that
they then distributed handbills to
practically every house in town,
appealing to law-abiding citizens
for square deal.

A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

1t doesn't require an exuberant
imagination to picture the old world
listening to the radio and enjoying
the speeches. the concerts and all
that. but for one thing, what Ian
guage must be used so that the old
world may understand what he hears ?
This Is a real snag radio is up
against II 1t Is to have world wide
scope and all listening in to the
same tune or "spiel". Doubtless
there are several plans for obviatine
difficulties sure to arise under such
conditions. Carl Laemmle of the
Universal Pictures has written an
open letter to the Hon. Ramsay Mac
Donald urging that the matter be
taken up by the League of Nations
Mr.. Laemmle would have the
League agree upon one certain Ian
guage which the youth Of all coun
tries and languages should learn in
addition to their own. Naturally all
things considered he thinks that
should be the English language
which seems sensible as that Ian
guage is spoken by some in every
part Of the world on which the sun
shines.
He argues that a common languag sc
would serve as a bond between the
peoples. as 1t inevitably would in
some degree. that it would help to
bring about better understanding be-
tween peoples. would not rob then
of their own language but enrich
them with one universal enabling
them to understand other peoples
He declares the talking moving pic
ture may never be commercial sue
cess until there is a common Ian
guage.
Irrespective of prejudices is it too
much to expect that the educated
people Of every country will within a
few years be able to communicate
in language common to them all?
And is there any other than the
English language with a we'll estab
lished foothold in so many countries.

the cause and there Is every reason
, to believe that 1t might lead to still

this type of driver who would feel

, There Is at present a growing and
a proper demand by the public for
