HELP FOR SMALL HOME OWNERS
IS ASKED IN ROOSEVELT MESSAGE
Congress Is Urged to Lift
Mortgage Burden to
Speed Recovery.
BOND ISSUE is SOUGHT
Two Billions in New u. S.
Securities Proposed for
RefinanCing.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staf Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April Is.
President Roosevelt asked
congress today in a message
bristling with direct demands
for legislation to help lift the
mortgage burden of the ma
TONS small home owners.
He described such proposed action
as an urgently necessary step in
the program TO promote economic
recovery"
Implicit in such legislation, he
said, is declaration of national
policy l.. that the broad interest
of the nation requires that special
safeguards should be thrown around
home ownership as a guarantee of
social and economic stability"
The Presidents message followed
out his pledge that was contained
IN his program for a new deal"
in asking congress to grant a
$20O0,000,00O bond issue that would
allow the refnancing of mortgages
on small homes much in the same
manner as that urged for the
! farmer.
No Injustice to Investors
MIR. Roosevelt pointed out that
legislation of this character de-
mands prompt consideration and
added that the terms are such as
to impose the least possible charge
upon the national treasury"
He pointed out that the program
could be put through without in
justice to investors, at substantially
lower interest rates and. where
cases warranted it, with a morato-
rum both on interest and principal
payments.
The bonds under present plans
would be exchanged for the mort
cages. Interest on those bonds
would be guaranteed by the treas
ury.
The President made it plain that
| the plan of settlement would pro
VIDE yardstick to put an end to
present uncertain and chaotic con-
dltlons that create fear and de-
spa1r among both home owners and
investors"
Bill Is Made Public.
1t is a proper concern of the gov
eminent, said the President. ito
protect home owners from ineoui-
table enforced liquidation in a time
Of general distress"
The bill to carry out the Presi-
dents recommendation was made
public by Senate Majority Leader
Robinson.
1t provides for:
l. Setting up of federal agency
capitalized at 100000 and au-
thorized to borrow up to $4,000 O00,-
900 for refnancing small home
mortgages.
2. Federal loan and savings in
stitutions operating under the home
loan bank system, with the govern
ment subscribing 100000, 900 to
start the loan associations func-
tioning.
Federal Bonds Provided
3. Exchange of mortgages for
federal bonds at per cent interest;
the small home owner to pay off
his obligation at 5 per cent. Such
loans could be made up to 80 per
cent of appraised valuation Of homes
Of a maximum value of $4,000.
President Roosevelt was repres-
ented by his associates as feeling
that $2,OOO,O0O,OO0 bond issue was
sufficient to meet the needs, al
though outstanding home mortgages
now total approximately s9,00O-
100000
