The Bismarck tribune., 1934-03-30

A great shift in the popular ides
of freedom, which will ultimately
have very great effect on our po-
litical thought, has been taking place
in this country during the last few
years.
This shift has been moving US away
from our traditional notions at q
rapid pace. It Is giving . new twist
to the things we demand from our
government, and it Is steadily chang
ing our concept Of the relation Of the
individual to the society Of which he
Is part.
Briefly the shift can be explained
by saying that we are beginning to
demand economic freedom rather
than political freedom.
Once we demanded freedom from
the oppression of rulers-freedom to
talk. write. and worship as we pleased,
abolition Of inherited caste distinc-
tions. formal recognition OF the fact
that, as far as rights are concerned,
all men are created equal.
Now we are beginning TO demand
freedom from economic disabilities:
freedom from poverty, for instance,
and from the fear Of poverty.
We are beginning to insist that po-
litical equality be balanced with eco
nomic security.
It Is this demand which Is back OF
such pending bills In congress Is the
Wagner-Lewis unemployment insur-
ance law and the Connery 30-hour
week bill.
Now the thing to notice Is that
never before. In all the worlds his
tory. could . demand for economic
security have been made sensibly.
In all former times It was newt
able that insecurity be the lot ot
the average man. There simply
wasn't enough of everything to &c
around. Somebody had to be left out
Population, as Nautilus pointed
out. tended to increase faster than
the means Of subsistence. Poverty
was inescapable.
But today our troubles come be-
cause there is too much OF every
thing. For the first time since this
old planet started spinning. every
man can get a fair whack OF things
Insecurity is no longer necessary
The abolition of poverty Is perfectly
possible.
The ordinary man has come to
realize this. He knows there is enough
OF everything to 60 around and he
wants his share; and-which is q
point worth remembering-he doesn't
care very much how he gets 1t.
Therein lies source Of great po-
tential danger which threatens MOI
only our economic but our political
liberties.
When people seek new opportuni-
ties In utter oblivion Of their pas,
advances, they open their ears to thu
wiles of demogoguery; place them.
selves in position from which the,
may awake to the realization that MOI
only have they failed to gain any.
thing new but have lost what the,
already had.
The best idea Is to maintain ou,
political freedom and seek new eco
nomic opportunity under the guaran'
tees which it provides.

BALTIMORE, March 10.-The grand
jury has been requested by States At
torney Herbert R. O'Conor to investi-
gate charges that real estate sales Or
ganizations are swindling scores of
purchasers of beach front lots in Sum-
mer resorts These organizations op-
crate in all parts Of Maryland and
adjoining States, and especially in the
District of Columbia, owing to its
proximity.
Within the last few weeks more
than rs persons who said they had
been defrauded have filed complaints,
Mr. O'Conor said. During the last
year, it is reported. one Of the sales
groups has collected more than $780,
600 for property sold for more than
S5OO,O0O.
Much of the property has been sold,
Mr.. O'Conor said, on the promise to
the purchaser that the sales organi-
zation would aid in its resale at a
handsome profit to the first buyer.
Nearly all the purchasers have been
persons Of small means, who paid out
several hundred dollars each for what
Is said to be property practically USE
less for home e-building sites.
"Some of the sales organizations

|SG0AL OF BOARDS
Directors OF National Real
Estate Association to
Push Plan.
U. S. WOULD PROVIDE
HALF BILLION CAPITAL
Institution Would Offer Place for
Sale or Discount of Sound
Mortgages.

A Federal Mortgage Bank which
would become . great stabilizing
agency for real estate credit and for
real estate values" is the goal of the
National Association Of Real Estate
Boards.
Directors Of the association, meet
ing her recently, vested complete
authority In its Real Estate Finance
Committee, of which Walter s.
Schmidt, Cincinnati, is chairman, to
proceed with the presentation of q
plan to establish such q bank.
The directors approved the report
Of the committee outlining the pro-
posed action.
Aimes Explained.
This contemplates:
!. That corporation be set up
with $500. .000.0 900 capital supplied by
the United States, such institution
to be known as the Federal Mort
gage Bank. 1t provides that the bank,
under proper safeguards, may issue
bonds against mortgages in its pos
session. Interest on the bonds would
be guaranteed by the United States
until the principal Is paid.
2. That any individual, firm or
corporation engaged in the business
Of making first mortgages on urban
real estate be eligible to use the
facilities Of the bank, provided such
mortgage lending agencies are found
to be in good financial condition and
their practices are sound and ethical
The function Of the bank would be
to supply q place Of sale or discount
under proper safeguard for all sound
mortgages on real estate devoted to
other than agricultural uses. Man.
agement Of the bank, 1t is proposed,
would be vested in the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board. The institution
would fill the gap left by two present
Government agencies. the Federal
Home Loan Banks and the Home
Owners Loan Corporation, the real
tors body contends.
Profits Intended.
The operation of the bank. accord
ing to the committee report, is de-
signed to be profitable. There should
be substantial differential, it says,
between the usual interest obtainable
on mortgage loans and the rate nec-
essary to be paid on Federal Mort
gage Bank bonds This differenttaI
should be sufficient to provide the
cost Of operating the bank, a return
to Government on the invested capi-
tai, and the setting up Of some re-
serve. If deemed necessary, to take
care Of any losses in periods of stress
The bill contemplates that mort
cages shall originate through ex-
ternal sources, and these mortgages
shall be serviced by the originating
agency, If the bank deems it ad-
viSable to make such arrangements
with that agency.
The Federal Mortgage Bank "is
not designed as an emergency or re-
lief agency but as q permanent In
stitution," Mr. Schmidt's report points
out. Bonds of the proposed bank
would represent the ultimate in Sc
curity. since they would have the
