RE TORS PLAN
FOR EXPOSITION
81 Home Show Campaign
Started by Board.

An intensive campaign has been
started by the indianapolis Real
Estate Board to make it's 1881 Home
Complete exposition an adequate
tenth anniversary exposition, which
means that it must surpasS all pre-
vious events, says Walter M. Evans,
committee chairman.
"The exposition has done more
to stimulate interest in Indianapo-
lis homes than any other one thing
could do" he said. 1T offers local
manufacturers and retailers of
building materials and furnishings
opportunity to- present them to the
public in a most unusual way, and
it offers the public an unusual OPP
portunity TO see all those things
that constitute the building and
furnishing of home under one
roof. H.
lone of the best New Years reso-
lutiollS that can be made this year
is to resolve that during 1881 you
will own your home. We believe
that the home show is one of the
reasons of the high percentage of
home ownership in Indianapolis"

McEadden Attacks Policy of
Coolidge and Hoover in
Financial World.

81 United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. "A sharp
attack on the financial policies OF
the Coolidge and Hoover admin
situations was made today by Rep
resentative Louis T. McFadden.
chairman of the house committee
on banking and currency, when he
issued a warning TO business men
not to he too optimistic over the
new easy money" policy an
nounced last week by the federal

McFadden declared that the pol
icy of definite imitation begun by
the board in July, 1927. had been
marked by one of the widest spec
ulative orgies the world had ever
known.
Announcement of change to a
deflation policy in February, 1929,
had been followed, he said, by. one
of the most serious deflatioils, both
in the price of securities and COM
modities, that has ever been.
known. ....~.
AssaiIs Artificial Methods
Careful analysis a few years
hence of the business, economic and
financial doing of the year 1880 may
disclose that the artificial methods
used in an attempt to. stimulate and
maintain business, and thus avoid
what developed to be one Of the
country's greatest business depres-
sions, may have been an error by
conveying a false impression in the
minds of the people as TO the Sc
robustness Of the situation which was
brought to head by the stock
market crash of October, 1922 Nc
Fadden said.
Tn other words, possibly it would
have been much better to have dealt
with the situation Immediately fol-
lowing the crash than to have pro-
longed the distress and the mis-
understanding for year longer"
Branch Banks Advocated
The Pennsylvania congressman
said that if the administration had
followed such course many bust
ness and individual equities might
have been saved.
The number of bank failures in
rural communities can be decreased
by amendment to the national
banking laws authorizing the big
city national banks to establish
branches in the small cities and
towns, John w. Pole, comptroller
of currency, today declared in re-
port to congress. He said such leg
islation is of great present i'm.

There. were 742 bank failures in
