North Carolinians, it seems fair to presume, do
not want to die any more than other people. There
fore we want drinking water clean. We vac
cinate the school children. We regulate the dis
posa of our sewage. We quarantine the sicH,
We screen our houses. We preach against the
housefy and we clean away the breeding places OF
the mosquito.
All of which is well and good.
Then we get into our cars and death rides with
us.
The automobile brings death to more North Car

pox, whooping cough pellagra.
Thirty years ago before the automobile came t."

How many more American home-owners had the
same experience? How many have come to realize
that at present the home loan plan operates to pay
premiums on responsibility and wastefulness?
How many have been discouraged by this penalty
on honesty and thrift?
If such condition is allowed to continue 1t may
result in encouragement of delinquency and dis
respect for contract obligations 1t may discourage
home-ownership the part of honest, thrifty per-
sons which is just the opposite OF intended erect

tressed home owners who just couldn't make II
despite all sorts of sacrifice No tar-mlnded per
son would want to close this door of hope to those
unfortunate human by-productS of the depression.
But something should be done to encourage the
man who is trying to meet the terms of contracts
and avoid insolvency.
That's a lob for the coming Congress. So far as
# goes, the Home Loan Act fills vital economic
and social need but it doesn't go far enough. IT
ought not to be scrapped but rather expanded 50
as to include within its scope the poor devil on
the edge of bankruptcy trying to keep his balance
and his home as we'll. 1t ought to serve as butt

of prosperity to say nothing of bolstermg up lndl-

two vital traits of character individual OF ma
ton can succeed.
The defects of the governments home
loan plan were discovered some time ago
NV many citizens who endeavored to secure
government aid in financing the ownership
of homes. AS pointed out by Mr.. Mclean,
it was found that mortgage holders were
not interested in swapping good real estate
mortgages for bonds, payment not guaran-
teed by the government, although payment
Of interest is guaranteed, but at a lower
rate than any private real estate mortgages
hear. In cases where the mortgages are
considered to be worth less than the
amount due on them, the holders are VIII
ling to trade The mortgage holders are
clearly within their rights in declining to
do business with the Federal Corporation
in certain cases and in accepting the propo-
sition in other cases; but the result is that
a large body of worthy citizens has been
unable to profit by the help which the
Corporation was supposed to a1ord thehl'
So far nobody seems to be able to sug-
gest workable plan for the Home Own
ers Loan Corporation, unless the govern
ment will guarantee the principal as well
as the interest on bonds snapped for real
estate mortgages. In that event the hold
ers of mortgages probably would be will
ling to trade in most cases, in spite of the
low interest rate on the bonds and 20 per
cent. reduction in principle.
As the matter stands now the best mort
gage risks cannot get help, and the least
desirable class of debtors is favored. Per-
haps Congress can and will revise the act
to cure the defects of the law under which
the Corporation is operating. That should
be done or the law should be repealed

She was thankful for this restraint

Eve wanted to refuse. She
