A Statement Of PRINCIPLES
BY e. S. Hungerford

In filing for election in the
April primaries as Delegate to
the Republican National Con-
vention, I am actuated by de-
sire to seen a clean cut verdict
from the Republican voters of
Alaska, either as an endorse
ment or protest at the past four
years of the handling of the
problems of Alaska by the pre-
sent administration. Have they
done we'll and do we endorse
and wish to retain them, or dc
we seek a change? That is the
main question we arc asked to
decide when we vote for a party
Delegate to National Conven-
ton il which the present office
holdel., seek denomination.
Territorial office seekers plat
forms have very little to do with
the office of Delegate, altho we
may expect to see the tendency
Of the vote cast for that officer
reflected in the platforms of
those seeking office at the hands
IF the voters, after the primary
election. It Is very necessary
that this verdict be given and it
is very necessary that the voter
5e allowed this opportunity OF
expressing his or her desires az
to the trend of their parties ef-
forts, it is also very necessary
that both sides of a question be
represented. This is the function
OF the primary election, a very
important one indeed.
Four years ago the Republican
voters of Alaska endorsed the
nomination of MIR. Hoover as
PRESIDENT; this year they are
being called upon to either re-
endorse or condemn the past
four years of administration Of
the affairs of Alaska by the diff
ferent Secretaries appointed BY
him. They are either asking for

Directed, not at the owner of the
expensive home, but at the field of
modest housing. this is how the plan
is designed to work:
Controlled by Board.
President Hoover is authorized to ap-
point a Federal Home Loan Board
which will oversee a system of new
banks, one to be created in each of
the to II districts into which the
country will be divided
Funds will 60 into these institutions
home loan discount bankS-in three
ways: Initially by money advanced by
the Federal Government, by stock sub
ing to borrow funds and. mainly. from
public sale of bonds. These bonds will
be secured by the collateral which the
members of the bankS-buildmg and
loan associations, cooperative banks,
homestead associations and savings and
loans associations-deposit as security
for their loans, as well as by the notes
of the members themselves.
The funds may then be loaned to
members of each home loan discount
bank. Eligible organizations will be
required to subscribe for stock equal to
one per cent of the unpaid principal
of the total home mortgages held by
them. Congress has set the minimum
subscription at $500. In order to get
money from the discount bank men,
Der organization must deposit in the
bank promissory notes for the amount
of the loan. together with home mort
cages as collateral.

row on its mortgage collateral maxi

and a maximum of SO per cent of the

Liquid Assets Needed.
In recent address in the National
Radio Forum arranged by The Star
Senator Felix Hebert of Rhode Island
summed up the functioning of the sys-
tenn by citing a hypothetical case.
Let us assume that building and
loan association or a savings bank has
invested considerable part of its de-
posits in home mortgages" Senator He
for the return of their funds Neces-
sarily the bank or building and loan
association needs liquid assets to meet
these demands. They must find lnar-
ket for their mortgages and if unable
to do so they must cease making
further advances or, as the last resort,
call them in for payment as they ma
ture."
The Senator pointed out that, with
the mortgagors themselves, that is, the
home owners, hard pressed for funds,
the bank is confronted with the neces-
sity of closing its doors and applying
for the appointment of receiver unless
some means can be found to provide
funds n YY1aet thpcp demands
The association solves this problem
by becoming a member of the Home
Loan Bank in its district by stock
subscription, gives its promissory note

wishes and deposits as collateral suffl-
cient mortgages. 1t obtains the money,
