Thus, each month the charge for interest is smaller until in the last few months it is negligible.
 The same loan borrowed at dis count, with the discount charges deducted in advance, or added onto the face of the loan and included in the monthly payments will cost the borrower the same each month, the cost of the charges being based on the full amount of the loan.

 ~ Benefits
 But-and here is where the Fed eral Housing Acts benefits come in-you can secure loan through the financial institutions, because of the FILA, without the security usually required. Your income should be five times the amount of the annual payments you will be required to make, you should have regular income and your credit record should be good.
 These are the main requirements Hundreds of persons in this area can meet these qualifications, but
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-12-07

do not have what is generally con- sidered to be adequate security for a regular financial institution loan. For them the Federal Housing Act means improved homes now. When Title Two tpertaining to the build ing of new homes) is made avail able, it will be possible for many to own homes who otherwise could not. The charges for the loans are reasonable, and if a borrower must pay the equivalent of one-half CT one percent or more over the regu- lar bank cost, the charge is a min or matter.
 No Banking Charge
 It must be remembered that no banking charge for the work in- volved is made; there is. no. charge for examination of title, that Tn most communities costs from $25 to $50; numerous other charges often encountered are eliminated and included in the discount rate the maximum of which is 5 per cent.
 The value of the Federal Hous- ing Act to this or any other com munity will best be realized when the program is we'll under way. Every carpenter, contractor, plumb CT, building supply house owner and electrical shop can expect to benefit directly, while every mem Der of the community will benefit indirectly by the increased amount of money in circulation. ttR
 Questions Answered
 Perhaps one of the most com mon reactions to the Federal Hous- ing Act is embodied in these words. Why should I borrow through the FILA set-up, when the use of the money I need will in some cases cost me less borrowed directly from the bank without help from the FHA?"
 The answer is that you should not use the machinery of the FILA unless it is necessary in order to secure loan. It is not the purpose of the FILA to, govern financial in- stitutions, nor is its aim to give you the use of money for little or nothing
 But there are many loans justi- fiably refused by banks because of lack of security. Now they can
The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-12-07

make many Of these loans because the Federal Housing Act insures each loan. The Act was designed, without question, to make money available that was not available before;, and to encourage those who already had sufficient security for such loans to make them and place money in circulation. The impetus of the FILA should rightly result in the completion of many loans for hou sing improvement without recourse to assistance from that Act.

Join the Party of Your
Class!

THE Communist Party is the Party of
L the working class, the revolutionary
class in modern capitalist society that
alone can lead the whole oppressed and
toiling population out of the yoke of capi-
talist exploitation and oppression.
Every worker who wants to fight
against hunger, against wage cuts, against
the whole mountain of Wall Street robbery, who
wants to strike blow to end the system that
keeps him and his family in the grip of starvation
belongs in the Communist Party,
The Communist Party has been In the front
ranks Of every struggle Of the workers of the op-
pressed Negro masses, the ruined farmers, and
lower middle classes against the drive of the Wall
Street monopoes for fatter profits at the expense
Of the rest of the population.
The Communist Party alone fights for real un-
employment insurance for the great army Of job
less workers, insurance to be paid for by the Wall
Street employers and the Wall Street Roosevelt
government.
The Communist Party fights for higher wages
for shorter hours for real fighting trade unions
in the hands Of the rank and file workers.
The Communist Party alone fought the NRA
slave codes from the very beginning, when the A.
F. of L. and Socialist Party leaders were singing
hymns of praise to this big Wall Street trap to
get more profit out OF the workers
The Communist Party leads the masses along
the road of Bolshevism, the road that the work
ers and peasants took to set up Workers and
Farmers Government in the Soviet Union, road
that will end forever the rule Of the bankers the
employers the landlords, the mortgage holders the
investors, the capitalist State power
The Communist Party declares that the crisis
can be ended and work provided for every worker
in the country by sweeping these capitalist rulers
out of power and setting up proetarian dictator
ship which will give the workers the greatest dem
ocracy, but will be stern dictatorship against
the capitalists and their hangers-on The Commu-

the Wagner Bill specific prohibit
tions coercion" by labor unions or
workers under this clause virtually
any union activity may be sup
pressed as coercion"
In brief, the Wagner bill, as it
finally emerges, will very probably
be stripped of all provisions which
make even promises to labor. The
assurance that it will open the door
wide to company unions is in line
with the Roosevelt auto settlement,
which even officials now admit lets
in company unions.
All this was made quite clear by
the brigade Of steel corporation
spokesmen, the backbone of Amer
lean capitalism, the most power

Steel also controls the giant Cen
eral Motors Corporation. Flushed
by the temporary victory in the
auto sell out, these corporate be-
ings prefer to treat their wage
slaves as people who are to be shot
down when they become so bold
as to strike for living wage. In
fact, the steel barons don't want
any union, even company union,
if they can help it. And they don't
want any more demagogy poured

ers.
But Roosevelt, who believes he
knows what is best for people like
Myron Taylor, N. R. A. Industrial
advisor and President of the U. S.
Steel Corporation, is bent upon
making them understand that their
interests can be served just as well
or better by compulsory arbitration
backed by government troops.
1t must be remembered that
Roosevelt has monumental con-
fidence in his ability to fool the
workers. In announcing his refusal
to budget from his proposal to suf-
fering railroad workers that they
accept the 10 per cent basic wage
cut another six months he declared
that this basic cut didn't cause the
/ terrible suffering in the industry
1t was the enforced furloughs, the
demotions, and part time.
In other words, It's not the heat,
it's the humidity.

forbidden, on pain of death, to demonstrate or OBJ

Hitler calls these anti-workng class nationalist

Law takes away from the German worker any
remnant vestige of a voice to under what

boss. The trade unions we're long ago outlawed by
Hitler.
But the workers of Germany and of the world
will not allow the Hitler government of the Krupps,
Of the bankers and employers to carry through un-

In Germany itself the illegal Communist Party
is steadily growing, and is preparing the workers

down, then one of the state-ap-
