RELIEF
|. PLANS UNDER WAY
Building and Loan Associa-
tions to Cooperate in Aid
ing Home Owner.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 15.-Executives Of
the building and loan industry from
coast to coast will confer during the
next six weeks to consider their part
in the new deal" planned by the Roose-
velt administration for the hard-pressed
home owner.
The mortgage relief proposal intro
ducec in Congress is to take first place
in these conferences, Ward B. Whit
lcck, president of the United States
Building and Loan League, said today.
He expressed belief that building and
loan associations would approve the dis
tinction made in the Roosevelt measure
between emergency financing of home
owners in distress, and the permanent
institution for mobilizing mortgage
money, the Federal Home Loan Bank
system.
The league, Mr.. Whitlock said. un-
doubtedly would approve the Presidents
idea of making mortgage financing de-
pendent in the main on local institu-
tions.
Conference Planned.
Likewise, he said. building and loan
men would look with favor on the move
to repeal the direct loan provision of
the Federal home loan bank act-a
step further to emphasize the differ
ence between emergency and permanent
aspects of the home financing problem.
The first of these conferences of
building and loan executives will be in
Chicago April 20. when managers of
associations in nine Midwest States
meet to hear William F. Stevenson,
Roosevelt appointee as chairman of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board, and
other authorities on the subject of home
financing.
This group-executives from Illinois,
Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa,
Minnesota, North Dakota. South Dakota
and Nebraska-manages ASSOCIATIONS
with more than $1,000, 100000 worth of
small home mortgages.
Leaders in IL Southeastern States will
tackle the same problem in a regional
conference at Winston-Salem, N. c.,
May 19 and 20.
This group manages about $3.50, ,000,-
600 of home mortgage credit in Mary
land Delaware, Virginia. West Virginia,
District of Columbia. North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Ten
nessee.
In addition, seven State building and
loan groups will bold conventions soon,
with attention focused on the same
problem of relief
These include associations in Connec-
ticut. New Jersey and New York, with a
total of about 81 500 100000 of home
mortgages in their building and loan
associations. and California, with some
$400, ,000, 900 in home mortgages.
Relief to Be Discussed.
Mississippi. Virginia and Nebraska are
to hold State conventions in addition to
participation in regional conferences.
1.-THE importance of these conferences
in connection with new plans for the
home mortgagor," Mr. Whitlcck said,
'is seen not only in the fact that total
of $500, 100000 of such mortgages is
held by the groups which plan to con-
fer, but also because the average mort
gage held by these associations is cbcut
S3,500-so the small man in debt for
his home is their immediate concern"

Control of it in the future and repair
of damage it has done in the past
will hold the center of the stage in
the vast Tennessee Valley development
program uShered in by the admin1stra-
tons Muscle Shoals bills.
The first step in the program. con-
struction of the Cove Creek dam at
an estimated cost of $34 100000, will
serve to impound waters of the valley
for flood control and water supply pur-
poses The same waters, harneSSed 500
miles downstream at Muscle Shoals,
will manufacture fertilizer and electric
power
The bill likewise authorizes the Presi-
dent to initiate erosion control and re-
forestation work aimed to restore to
usefulness lands that have been ruined
or reduced in value by the securing
action of uncontrolled surface water.
Extent of Plan.
This plan for better handling of the
water flow will reach from the $40
mile-long bed of the Tennessee itself
to the remotest hilltops that rim its
watershed. and will affect the welfare
of a population of 1892, 900 people. II
carried out to the full it will touch al
most every square foot of the 10000
square miles of territory in the water
shed above Muscle Shoals, and may give
employment to as many as 200, 900 men.
Five States will be affected, With the
following acreage in each:
Tennessee ....... S,SI,ooo
North Carolina ~ 3,560,000
Alabama 1891 600
Virginia 2.O39, 600
Georgia 93l 600
Total .......... 19.712,00o
The program as originally outlined
by President Roosevelt, aims at making
best possible use of all the land in the
watershed. Fifty-five per cent CT the
land now is considered too badly
eroded, steep, or infertile for eultiva-
ton and should be planted to trees Or
pasturage that will hold the soil on
upland Slopes, store up water and pre-
vent erosion, say Government experts.
Such treatment of the valleys up
lands is an important key to other
projects for the valley. including flood
control, navigation, power develop

California RecOnsiders.
(New York World Telegram

(New York -TelegramO
 California politicians persuaded Congress in 1924 to write the Asatc exclusion clause into the Immi- grafton Act and thereby affront the proud peoples of the Far East Cafornia's sober thinkers today are backing the proposal to wipe out that affront by placing Oriental nations under the quota law.
 For years union labor favored the affront. This month both the California State Federation and the American Federation of Labor conventions failed to demand retention of the exclusion clause Labor knows that quotas of 1855 Japanese and 105 Chinese non-laborers will not threaten American living standards
 California's brain trust" knows that too. State nents have just been issued by the States nine leading college Presidents all urging the quota.
 Finally California business men are speaking up in the interest of peaceful relations and better commercial dealings in the Pacific. Foreign trade clubs have joined the growing chorus demanding the quota way.
 The issue, Californians coming to see, is not that of adequate control of Oriental immigration. Letting in a small handful of non-laborng Asiatics under nominal quotas is more effective control, in deed, than the present roundabout and offensive method

gime, We who are so far away have every reason for giving weight to their judgment.
 
 In broad outline this may be as- sumed to be the background of fact which has caused the Admin istration to open negotiations. The chief objection to recognition has manife5tly been reduced even if it is not absolutely eliminated. The position of advantages of rec ognition are many. Russia is the great power which lies between the two danger spots of the modern Wcrld-in eastern Asia and in Gen. tral Europe. If Russia wants peace and it is plain that she does. then it is of great advant- age to the world that she should be encouraged to act as reSpon- sible world power interested in the maintenance of peace. American recognition can have no direct in fluenca upon Russian policy; but it would undoubtedly add some rein forcement to those who, like Sta lin and Litvnoff, are interested in socialism for Russia, in peace and trade outside of Russia.
 Recognition would presumably be the prelude to a policy of ac- tive encouragement of Russian American trade. How much trade can be financed I do not know, but it is clear that in theory at least, Russia is the greatest new potential market calling for the kind of goods that our industry most urgently needs to sell. Rus sia is transforming herself into an industrial state. She needs soma raw materials, which we pos sess, and she needs the type of machinery we are so well able to supply. The problem then would seem to be: how to finance such trade prudently, to determine how much can be financed by credit and how much of our exports can be paid for by imports. This is obviously a problem to be dealt with by detailed negotiation after diplomatic relations have been re- sumed.

A ROOF OF ICE IS DISCOVERED.

Sixty miles high the polar regions of the earth, "ice ceiling layer of frozen moisture which may be the indirect of terrific storms, has been discovered by French scientists Naval officers attached the Polar mission, returning to Paris after years observation the ice shelf of East Greenland asserted they were able to prove the existence of layer of ice particles congealed from wet atmosphere million times finer than raindrops" at approximately 10 Kilometres above the earth's surface.
 Their finding confirmed by an electrical impulse sent to the ceiling and reflected back. The time required for the return of the impulse to the earth was recorded and the height thus estimated
 The military phase of the expeditions report completed and the scientific section is in the of compilation It is reported this will be com pleted in about five months, during which the scientists intend to compare their meteorological find ines with observations made along the ship lanes of the North Atlantic Ocean and in Europe and America.
 The French mission hopes to prove the origin of the storms of the North and their work possibly will lead to the establishment of an internauona meteorological station in Greenland, manned pS scientists of different nationaties.

CONTINUES ITS FINE RECORD.

The annual redemption by the Juneau Cold Storage Company of S12OOO in it's first mortgage bonds. and biennial interest payment on that sum and S23000 remaining outstanding of the same security, again brings out forciby the deslrabnty of investing in sound local projects When these bonds sold six years ago. the security and stock market of the Nation booming Paper fortunes were being made overnight. Stocks pyramided for the next two years then toppled, wipng out billions of dollars of the money gullible public invested.
 Contrast that with the record of the local cold storage, or the Juneau Lumber Mills These firms, financed locally, have met every pledge to the investors despite the fact that they have been operating under depression conditions. They have done more than that. They have materially bettered their plants and equipment that the stockholders shares represent actual value than they did when they were purchased The bondhoders have had their per cent interest each year and the bonds are being retired either on or ahead of schedule. That is record to be proud of at any time, and under the conditions of the past three years is a notable achievement.

All this, however, would not be conclusive were 1t not for the evil dence of Russian pacifism to be found in Soviet foreign policy. Russia has borrowed considerable sums of money to finance imports. So far as I know there has never been any question raised as to her good faith in the fulfillment of contracts. But even more impress sive than that is the way in which Russia has cleaned up her rela- tions with Poland and with all the other border states from Finland to Turkey. The treaty signed in London last July is the dearest non-aggression treaty that has been formulated since the war. It is far more realistic and defin- ite than the Kellogg Pact. What matters is that the states closest
 to Russia, and therefore most threatened if Russia is aggressive
