Reason to Be Thankful
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day and
despite the difficulties which the people
of the United States still face and must
should be profoundly thankful.
We who from day to day receive
pathetic appeals and happy messages Of
appreciation have convincing reasons
for the belief that there Is reason to be
thankful for the existence of the Home
Owners Loan Corporation and the
many powerful agencies created by the
Government to assure National recov-
cry. We should all be grateful that
under the militant and resourceful
leadership Of our President, the Nation
met and passed successfully one Of tht
greatest crises in world history, and
promptly started on the road to pros
perity at unprecedented speed.
We, should realize and be grateful for
the fact that Notwithstanding the hard
ships we have endured and the sacri-
fees we have made the spirit OF America
Is undaunted
We know that the great mass Of our

There will be pauses In our progress.
They are to he expected, for recovery
from great economic disaster is neces-
sarily interrupted and uneven. The
greedy, the timid who have no conf
dence in themselves or any one else,
the critics ever ready to tear down
but never to construct, will all have
their brief day, but all these will be
forgotten in the abundant future of
an America which nothing can stop.

HOME LOAN PLEA
MADE TO NATION
Fahey Tells of Organizations
Purpose in Radio
Forum.

A plea for better public understand
ing of the purposes and functions OF the
Federal Home Loan Banks and the
Home Owners Loan Corporation was
voiced last night by John H. Fahey,
chairman of the two organizations, in
an address delivered in the National
Radio Forum.
The speech arranged by The WASH
ington Star and broadcast over coast
forecast network of the National Broad
casting Co., also called upon holders
of the bonds of the corporation to keep
them as an investment, which, Mr..
Fahey said, will eventually prove
profitable.
Widespread misunderstanding of the
provisions of the Home Loan Bank act,
Mr. Fahey said, has caused thousands
bf people to seek loans to which they
are not entitled. Nearly one-third of
all the applications received, he said,
fall into this classification, simply be-
rause the public does not understand
the limitations placed upon the board.
Some Defaults Deliberate.
Some home owners, he asserted, have
purposely defaulted on their mortgages
only to find that the corporation can
not give relief in such cases. He warned
The mortgage cases which the cor
poration can care for are those where
the home owner, because of the circum-
stances beyond his control, has not been
able to keep up interest or principal
payments on the home in which he
has invested his savings and is actually
threatened with the loss of that home
through foreclosure of the mortgage"
Mr.. Fahey said. In such cases there
are usually taxes overdue as well as the
mortgage itself. Very frequently. also,
repairs have not been kept up during
the last few years because the home
owner has not had the money to make
such repairs. 1t Is in these cases that
the Government can render great
service not only to the home owner but
to the Nation as whole, since this
work is an important part Of the ma
tional recovery program"
Regarding the bonds of the corpora
tion, Mr.. Fahey said: These are sound
bonds on which the holder is not only
certain of his interest, but may be
equally sure of full payment of princi-
pal when due. They are the bonds Of
