The optimistic note should be espe-
cially strong concerning residential real
estate. Mr.. CellariuS says, citing that
earnings of the business accrue en-
tirely from lending operations in the
home financing field.
Normal earnings in the last half
OF 1881 show that interest pay
mentS on mortgage loans made by
the associations are not tagging to any
appreciable extent, the league secretary
treasurer explains, and adds that the
experience of building and loan men
shows that the home-oWners' distress
has been considerably exaggerated in
current accounts.
while many agencies have been
asking help fer home owners and bor-
rowerS from outside sources they have
overlooked the fact that the semi
annual payment of building and loan
association dividends is a constant aid
to the home borrower in paying off his
mortgage says Mr.. Cellarius.
Every dollar that borrowing men,
ber pays into his association for month
ly installments on his home loan goes to
work Immediately earning dividends for
him. A considerable part of the divi-
dend disbursement on January l will be
credited to present home borrowers
monthly basis. These dividends will de-
crease the amount due on these mort
cages.
Savings members of the associations
see in this fulillment OF their dividend
expectations valid ground for conf
dence. The past half year has seen
many business units which had kept up
earnings in the first eighteen months OF
hard times forced at last to make
major cut in their returns to stock
holders. This reacted against public
confidence.
Now into the balance to retrieve the
Nations belief that recovery is already
underway cones the consistent record
of building and loan associations for
dividend payments showing their ability
to override long disturbing conditions
two years as we'll as a shorter period.
The one thing that makes people
believe in the certainty of our return to
normal business conditions in the fu-
ture is the business which continues to
withstand the shock despite prolonged
stress. People naturally are eager to
invest more of their funds in such
business. Building and ioan associations
in a third of the States report new ac-
counts coming in faster than last year.
Even last year our gain IN members was
twice that of 1929"

HOME LOAN BANKS
BILL INTRODUCED
Measure by Representative Luce
Follows Plan as First Proposed
by President.

Representative Luce, Republican, of
Massachusetts, has introduced in the
House a bill providing for the organ
ization of home loan banks as proposed
by President Hoover on November 13
and in accordance with the recon-
mendation in his message to Congress
on December 7.
The bill proposes the establishment
of IL regional banks that would dis
count, for the first time, first mort
cages on homes, thus making possible
the movement of what have been
termed frozen assets of financial organ
tzations.
The bill follows the outline of this
plan as first proposed by President
Hoover, according to Harry S. Kissell,
Springfield. Ohio, president of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate Boards,
and it is similar to the plan submitted
last May to the convention of the as
Sociation in Baltimore. At that time
the delegates approved resolution to
study the merits of such method of
aiding realty finance.
Copies of the bill will be obtained by
the Real Estate Association and mailed
to its member boards for study.
