Building and Loan
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES

AS means of helping the average
salaried man and wage Garner to ac-
quire his own home the building and
loan association, as 1t has been de-
teiopeo IN the United States. has proved
as EaIue- THESE associations operate
unoer number of different nlans
They are governed by VARYING state
regulations, but the underlying principle
Is the same
Inc IDEA Is to mobilize the savings
OF the members and to loan them back
10 tne same members on residential real
estate security. They are essentially
cooperative, Their strength lies in
their local character. the low ratio of
expense and the provision for amortiz-
ing the loan. ''-
In this field as in every other
financial activity there have been fail
uTes, some OF them due to defects in
the plan, but more to MANAGEMENT. and
YET the record rs whole compares IA
Poraoly with that Of any other savings
institution. From time to time the
writer has been asked TO pass anon tine
safety OF this or that specific building
ana loan association, but only a general
answer Is possible
II IS 70 the standing in the COM
munity OF the officers and managers of
the particular building and loan assoc
citation In question that appeal must b.
mace when It's rating is involved.
Granted that the laws of the State In
which operations are conducted are ade-
quate and that money is loaned only in
district contiguous to the home Office
ana that the association in question
has a record of success. the only re-
naming point is as to the character of
business and acumen Of the officers.
The item of expense is low because
these ofhcers serve either without COM
pensation or at nominal salary. The
factor OF safety is high because those
who are entrusted with the duty of
making loans are acquainted with the
real estate values III the neighborhood
and because, in many instances, the
boir0wlrs are personally known to them
That the borrower will make every ef-
fort 10 repay his loan is assured by the
fact that he himself by virtue OF his
membership in the association is also
loa, n and that the profits OF the
assoc-at on go to all members alike

Finally. experience shows that once

special Dispatch to The star.

WINCHESTER, Va, August 2e--A
complete embargo on American apples
is not contemplated by the British gov
crCrlent as q means of aiding the
colonies in which saprles are grown
commercially according to word today
to Harry T. Byrd. president of the Vir-
ginia State Horticultural Society. from
d. N. Castle, Acting Secretary of State,
quoting a message from Ambassador
Dawes at London. Virginia apple grow
eTs. who ship large quantities of fruit
to English markets, received word early
in the week, when the Macdonald Labor
government collapsed. that a complete
embargo on American apples was feared
in English fruit circles. For the past
two wears no American apples below
the United States No. l grade have
been admitted to ports of the United
Kingdom between July l and Novem-
Der Is.
Ambassador Dawes. investigating the
report ct the request of the Virginia
growers, STATED in his cable to the State
DEPARTMENT that the British government
does net contemplate any change m
existing regulations or complete en-
barge on American apples, but will con-
tinue to msintain strictest supervision
and inspection. It was also stated tbs
Ambassador said. that the future policy
would be determined upon any further
discovery of maggots in the apples.

WAGE POLICY OF CORPORATIONS
CLOSELY WATCHED IN STREET

on salary No political consequences
and rarely do any social consequences
OF a grave nature fellow salary cuts
but wage cuts often bring on strikes
and Nationwide condemnation. It is
no secret that the United States Steel
Corporation directors and management
are giving serious consideration to wage
reductions. Individually Wall Street
thinks that they are opposed, as are
mast people, to cutting wages except
as a last choice TO shutting up shop.
However, the failure OF the steel trade
to show much sign Of revival, the fact
that current operations are Improbable
to the extent that not even the pre-
fsrred dividend is being covered and
the necessity OF the corporation to bring
down costs to meet competitors and the
lower purchasing power Of consumers
point toward wage reduction
The only official hint on this subject
was given by Myron c. Taylor. chair
man of the Finance Committee, last
Spring. wh-n he said
There are at least two schools of
thought on the question Of rates Of COM
pensation for service The answer to

OF the future and depends upon the
ability of the co1ntry's occupational
activities TO right themselves from pres
ent levels"
August is not a propitious time for
wage cutting. II is difficult to say now
whether the usual seasonal rise in steel
making will occur. and the public is
more sensitive 10 such things in the
Summer. The signs point strongly to
wage reduction for the Steel Corpora
ton before the end of the year.

IRON MINES TO REOPEN
AS AID TO EMPLOYMENT
By the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, August 2S.-Iron ore
mine operators here looked forward to-
day to a probable increase OF produc
ton this Winter from underground ore
mines in the Lake Superior district as
a means of relieving unemployment
The rate of output of these mines is
now about 80 per cent capacity.
Pickands, Mather a. Co., largest in
dependent operator, already has an
nounced certain of its underground
mines in the iron River district of
Michigan, closed this Summer, will be
reopened October /.
Resumption of the mines, the opera
tors said, is planned despite the fact
no more ore is required above ground.
Stocks of ore at lower lake ports and
furnaces at present are estimated at
30 months supply at the current rate
of consumption.
Spokesman for the operators said the
increased production from underground
mines will be limited. however. by the
handicap Of tax rates, particularly
In Minnesota. In normal times Min
neSota taxes amount TO approximately
so cents per ton Of ore, but because of
reduced output this year, the operators
said the tax viii s4cesd 81 ton on
ore which has an average value Of
$27i.

Some even go so far as to hail the coali-
ton government as one of the most favor
able developments since the peace treaty
This may be and probably is somewhat exag-
gersted. In addition, there are too many
postwar happenings which lay claim to this
distinction.
The age-old habit of the British to rally
in time of distress, irrespective of party af-
fliation, once again has asserted itself, and
the outside world must not underestimate
the significance of the change It has, above
all, greatly increased confidence, which
should prove of very material assistance in
whatever arrangements may be made re-
garding credit or loan to Great Britain
The response to such financing on the part
of the American banking and investing pub
lie Is expected to be very favorable, and a
successful flotation of British issue NAV
have very salutary effect upon the market
for foreign bonds in general.
