CLOSED BANKS
LOSSES LOWER
Jones Visions 1t Reduced
to S2,OOO,OOO,O 900 as
Assets Rise.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-The
ultimate loss to the public in closed
banks may be held to $2,000,000, 900,
Jesse H. Jones, Reconstruction
Finance Corporation chairman, said
today.
This loss, Mr.. Jones said, is con-
siderably less than that estimated
several months ago because of rising
prices of assets yet to be distributed
to closed banks depositors.
Everything is worth more than
it was few months ago." Mr..
Jones said, and there is a better
feeling all over the country"
Continued slow progress in the
RIGS program of loans to industry,
however, was reported today by Mr..
Jones.
Only $40 loans aggregating $21,-
100000 he said, had been authorized,
and of this amount only $3,400,000
had actually been disbursed in cash.
The RFC has a $300,000,000 pool for
such loans to industry.

RISE IN PRICES
OCCASIONS CUT
IN FIRE LOSSES
Roosevelt Policies Lessen
Moral Hazard Aiding
Insurance Earnings.
By Times Special

By Times Special
NEW YORK, Nov. GA phe-
nomenon of popular psychology
which apparently had its inception
in the nation wide banking holiday
of March, 1888, has caused fire
losses to recede to levels so per cent
under two years ago, it was said
today. Indicated fire losses for 1884
should aggregate only SITE, 100000,
which would compare with s316,897,-
1873 for 1888; S442, 1881 during
1882, and S452,017,O26 in 1881. The
1884 total is expected to be the low
est in many years.
The nations fire losses as report
ed by the National Board of Fire
Underwriters during September
reached the exceptionally low figure
of $16,243,870, which was 20 per
cent below September a year ago.
Before the nations banking struc-
ture collapsed the monthly total was
averaging around $35,0OO,O0O and
$40,000,000 a month.
Decrease Immediate
When President Roosevelt assumed
office and closed the nations banks
the fire losses of that month were
S25, 1921 ,248. The next month, April,
1888, witnessed a sharp and unex-
plainable drop to $27825,970. The
major down trend has since con-
tinued for no rational reason eX-
cept for what insurance men call
moral hazard"
Moral hazard" refers to pfc
ventable fires caused by carelessness,
incendiarism, lack of caution and
other reasons-in short, absence of
honesty or reasonable caution. Fire
insurance executives assert that
normally 40 per cent of the ma
TONS fires may be attributable to
the moral hazard"
Executives Amazed
The following compilation of the
national board of fire underwriters
shows the down trend in monthly
fire losses since March, 1888, which
continues to surprise executives who
are frankly skeptical of it's con-
tinuation. Obviously company earn
ings have gained thereby.

NONGOLD BASE
VIEWED BENEFIT
Fall of Metallic Bloc
ForeSeen as Revival
Start.

BIZ IfniCs Spectft
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-All nations
will be forced of gold soon, Rene
Leon, authority on foreign exchange,
predicted today. This, he declared,
would be more effective in bringing
about sterilization of the currencies
Of the great commercial nations and
revival in world trade, than any
other event that could transpire in
international finance.
It inevitably would mean, he as
serted. that the leading industrial
nations would find it necessary to
confer on exchange sterilization,
and that divorced from gold, all
Currencies more accurately would
reflect the true conditions of world
commodity markets, removing arti-
fetal advantages gained through
manipulation of exchange and
largely eliminating the dangers of
large international flights of capital.
The fact that there have not
been large shipments of gold from
Belgium, with the belga below the
gold shipping point, suggests that
Belgian exchange is being supported
with credits from other gold bloc
centers, said Mr.. Leon. This can
not be done indefinitely.
Both in Belgium and Holland
powerful elements are working for
the deSertion of those countries
from the gold bloc. Gold bloc cur
rencies as as strong as their weak
east link. Today Belgium appar-
emily is the weakest link, and if Bel
GUM leaves gold the others must
follow eventually.
France can afford to lose con-
siderable gold. however, before re-
fusing TO supply it uopn demand.
There is a great deal of bad
money" in France-alien money
that is ready to leave the country
if it seems that gold no longer will
be obtainable. France would be
justified in letting most of this go
out, for its presence is a disturbing
element in her situation.
If the gold bloc went off gold, it
would mean the end of deflation for
the countries composing it. Export
and import quotas, together with
exchange controls to protect the
currencieS. no longer would be nee
eSsary. Trade would flow more
freely and conditions would be far
better for general sterilization of
exchanges than they are today"
The immediate effect of a break
up of the gold bloc. said Mr.. Leon.
would be a tremendous strengthen
ing Of sterling exchange.

Business Leaders Asked
to DeUelob Relief Mills
With US. Providing Labor
Leading Representatives
Have Been Sounded Out
on Proposition.

By Scripps-H OtcHrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Leading
representatives of American business
are being sounded out today by ad-
ministration leaders on establish
ment of industries in the rural-in-
dustrial communities being set up
by Relief Administrator Hopkins for
destitute families. Secretary Of
Commerce Roper has outlined the
program to his business advisory and
planning council and sought CO.
operation of its members.
Development of small industries
to provide part-time employment is
a major featuree of Hopkins plan
for getting unemployed off the re-
lief rolls and on to small plots OF
ground where they can earn living.
While some of the communities are
to be entirely agricultural, others
will depend partially on manufac-
turing.
The recent survey of business con-
Quoted by the census bureau shows
the possibilities of industrial decen-
tralization in certain lines, Roper
said.
Broad Expansion Seen
Although establishment of COM
munities is only in the experiment
tai stage, the possibilities of its eX-
pansion on a broad basis make is
a subject of considerable interest
among business leaders.
Two communities are actually I'M
der way, a third is ready to start
and negotiations for land purchase
are under way in nine others. Hop
kins' program lists fifty prospective
sites for such communities, and he
has laid before President Roosevelt
plans for development on a much
larger scale.
All From Relief Rolls
The communities are being
planned to accommodate from $50
to 700 families, all to be taken from
relief rolls.
Several applications for permis-
sion to establish industries are al.
ready On file in Hopkins office.
Organized labor is watching de-
velopment of the program closely,
in the fear that it con-
tains possibilities of lowering wages.
The feeling exists among some labor
representatives that prospects of
cheap labor would be the chief in
ducement for a manufacturer to
embark in the new communities.
