HOME LOAN BILL
UNDERGOES STUDY
President Expected to Sign
Legislation After Report on
Currency Expansion.

BY the Associated Press.
Although President Hoover has sent
the home loan bank bill to the con-
troller of the currency for study, Senate
leaders predicted confidently before the
sessions end that he would sign the
measure
The Chief Executive has consistently
sought establishment of banks to aid
in financing homes. b. the provision
attached to the measure for currency
expansion caused him to ask a report
from the controller.
This amendment, sponsored by Sen
ator Glass, Democrat, of Virginia.
former Secretary Of the Treasury, would
give national oanks authority to issue
bank notes backed by Government bonds
not heretofore eligible as security for
currency issues.
Treasury officials were opposed to the
currency rider to the bill, but the word
was passed along to the Republican
Senator's that the administrations OBJ
jections were not strong enough to cause
the bill to be vetoed.
New Currency Possibilities.
If the national banks took full ad-
a
little less than $1,000 100000 in new
currency. but il is not regarded as
likely they will do so.
Under the former law the national
bank currency issues were secured by 2
per cent Government bonds and only
about S700,000,000 of them were out
standing. The new law makes Govern
ment bonds carrying not more than 31s
per cent interest, eligible as backing for
national bank currency, but limits the
amount that can be so issued by any
bank to not more than its own capital
stock.
Under this restriction, despite the
fact that there are outstanding approx
mately s3,000,000,000 in such eligible
bonds, the banks could issue total of
approximately 1895, ,o00000 in new cur
rency, that being the total of their
capital stock
The banks that issue the currency
must pay a tax of IA of l per cent
semi annually or Y per cent annually
for the privilege. In addition they
must pay certain printing and issuing
costs. If bank is in debt it could
issue the currency, pay of the debt
and save the difference between tie
cost Of the currency and the interest
on its borrowed money.
Expense When Not Needed.
A bank which does not owe money
would merely be incurring additional
expense without receiving any benefit
in issuing additional currency.
At present member banks of the
Federal Reserve system owe the Fed
eral Reserve banks approximately
$500, 100000, of which only 00,000.-
900 is secured by bonds eligible under
the new act.
The provisions of the new act are
not expected to increase the amount of
money in circulation in this country
because Of the fact that it will be
chiefly used by the banks to meet their
debts and almost Immediately find its
way back into the Federal Reserve
Banks and the Treasury.
If the national banks took full ad-
vantage of the act and issued nearly
billion dollars worth of new currency,
it might in time seriously affect the
earnings of the Federal Reserve Banks
and cut their business approximately
in half. Officials do not expect that
this contingency will arise.

PEASANTS SHOW GAIN
IN RUMANIAN VOTING
Sweeping Victory Predicted for
Ex-Premier Maniu-City Goes
for Liberal Party of Jorga.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, July 18.-
The National Peasants party of former
Premier Juliu Manu- showed heavy gains
today in partial returns from the Ru-
manian parliamentary elections,
Political friends of the former premier
predicted a sweeping victory for his
party.
Returns from 54 out of II districts
gave the Manu- National Peasant party
q substantial lead. In the city most OF
the votes went to the Liberals, but the
provinces backed Manu-. In 13 dis
tricts the latter polled about SO per cent
of all the votes cast, cutting in most
seriously on the party headed by former
Premier Nicholas Jorga.
The Rumanian election law provides
that every party seeking mandate
must have a minimum of per cent
of all votes cast. Since Jorga's party
thus far has failed to poll that many
votes, it was indicated the party would
not be represented in the new Parlia-
rlent. M. Jorga is personal friend Of
King Carol.

BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.

BY Radio to The Star.
GENEVA, July 1S.-The draft text
of the resolution which is forming the
basis OF todays negotiations at the
General Disarmament Conference here,
can be revealed. 1t is as follows:
Section 1.-The conference for the
reduction and limitation of armaments,
being profoundly convinced that the
time has arrived when all the nations
Of the world must adopt substantial and
comprehensive measures of disarmament
in order to consolidate the peace of the
world, to hasten the resumption Of
economic activity and to tighten the
financial burdens which now weigh
upon all the peoples.
Being anxious to avoid competition
in the strength of ornaments, which
would be both ruinous to the peoples
and threatening to their national de-
fense.
Recalling its resolutions of April 19
and 20 adopting the principles of re-
duction by stages and Of qualitative
reduction).
Firm for Reduction.
Being firm in the determination to
achieve the first decisive step involving
substantial reduction of ornaments on
the basis of article 8 of the covenant
of the League of Nations and as
natural consequence of the obligations
resulting from the Briand-Kellogg pact
Welcoming heartily the initiative
taken by the President Of the United
States in formulating concrete proposals
for substantial reduction OF ornaments
by prohibition of certain methods of
warfare, by abolition of certain mate
rial, and by reductions varying in mag
nitude and amounting for certain arma-
ments to a proportion of one-third;
Bearing in mind also the draft con-
vention of the preparatory commission,
statements and proposals made to the
conference by a number of delegations
and reports and resolutions of the
various committees of the conference:

! Of DEBT ISSUE

Efforts of Administration lead
ers to soft pedal the debt cancel
lation issue received another SET
back today as q flood Of con-
gratulatory messages greeted the
speech broadcast by Senator Ship
stead F.-LO Of Minnesota.
Foreign governments intent on
debt cancellation are forming q
''ring Of iron" about the United
States, Shipstead warned.
Bankers Hand in Glove"
International bankers and
American holders of German
reparations bonds are working
hand in glove with European
debtor nations, he declared, add
ing that the Hoover moratorium
was q betrayal Of American tax
payers.
Before they were funded, Ship
stead pointed out, the total OF
debts incurred to the United
States during the World War era
amounted to $4,000, ,000, 900. OF
this total, $4,000, 600, 900 was bor-
roWed after the armiStice.
Funding Conditions
The funding agreements pro-
vided for interest rates averag-
ing 25s per cent on the $l2,O0O.-
600, 900 principle, payable an
nually for 81 years.
. Shipstead continued:
This means that the United
States assumed payment Of this
81, 2,OO0, ,OOO, 900 Of principal by
transferring the debt to Amcri-
can taxpayers. That the set
tlement amounts in effect to
cancellation of the principal is
admitted.
"Since the debts were funded,
the United States Government
has levied ON our taxpayers
S4.420, ,OOO,OOO to pay our bond
holders the interest on the
money loaned to the Allies"
