Millions in Interest Will Be

Prediction.
BY NED BROOKS

WASHINGTON, April 14-Home
mortgage relief, newest item of
President Roosevelt'S emergency
program, entered the congressional
mill today, with a prediction by its
sponsors that it will cut millions
annually from interest paid on
mortgaged homes and save thou
sands from the sheriffs hammer.
The new plan Is to repeal the
direct loan provision of the home
loan act and substitute a home
owners loan corporation. capitalized
with 5000 000,0 900 of Reconstruction
Finance Corporation funds and en-
powered to issue S2,0O0,O00000 Of 4
per cent bonds, which would be ex-
changed for mortgages on homes
valued at $4,000 or less.
The exchange of the mortgages
for bonds would be by mutual con-
sent of the borrower and lender
and the loans would be carried at
per cent on the unpaid balance,
amortization to be completed in fl
teen years.
Benefit to Home Owner
In cases where the lender accepts
bonds having a face value less than
the mortgage, the home owner
would receive the benefit of the dis
count
Sponsors of the bill believe the
majority of lenders will accept the
bonds, interest on which is to be
guaranteed by the government,
rather than to continue to hold the
mortgages and run the risk of de-
fault of interest and principal by
the borrower.
The bill carries a special pro-
vision empowering the new corpora
ton to grant a three-year morato-
rum on both interest and principal
in extreme cases of stress.
Majority Leader Joseph T. Rob-
ington of Arkansas, who introduced
the bill in the senate, estimates the
amount of outstanding mortgages at

I'M A publication called RED Front, "
| published by the Central Commit
tee OF the Red Front Fighters League
and dated November, 1888, there is a
first page article the intent of which
seems to have been to fight Fascism.
But the article serves a directly OPP
posite purpose. 1t aids Fascisn!
After describing a document sent
out by supporters Of Hitler in the
United States, the article in Red
Front says:
sixteen million Germans of
American birsh-l6,G00 900 potential,
If not already actual, Fascist, aided
and abettsd by such stroEghoids OF
bigo.ry as the Ku Klrx Khan, KHAKI

their struggle to organize and de-
feat clans 70 outlaw their Unions"
Should such a statement appear In
the capitalist press We would not
hesitate to brand it as vile SANDER
against the millions Of workers and
farmers of German descent who live
in this country. Evidently the editors
of "Red Front" proceed on the as
sumption that whatever happens in
Germany meets the approval of all
those OF German blood everywhere
Such an illusion does not expose Hit
Ter, but supports him and the Fas-

support the Hitler tyranny.

there one word about the class char
