BY HOUSING DRIVE

involving $3.50, 900 for
Modernizing.

lOil NV b-N'
heads in Washington stated that the
cooperative advertising campaign
held by the banks has had favorable
effect on the drive.
The fact that the average loan is
higher here than in other sections OF
the country. Mr.. Littlepage stated, is
proof not only of the fact that WASH
ingtonians are eager to improve their
homes. but also that the banks are
cooperating excellently with the
drive
Another factor that has caused Of
ficials to be unusually optimistic in
regard to the campaign in Washing
tor. is that the loans here are far
cheaper than in other sections. In
this city the financing charges OF loans
we're reduced this week to $4.l5. With
the interest, this brings the total
charges to 8 per cent, or almost per
cent per year less than the maximum
authorized bv F. A. A.
The Washington campaign is rapid
Iy being organized. Speakers soon
will be sent to address meetings Of
all the citizens associations. In ad-
dition, meeting of the local clergy
Is being arranged for Tuesday noon
at the r. M. C. A. Building. Invita-
tions have been extended to So min
istetA.
Meanwhile, F. H. A. headquarters
annot:nced that the drive is meeting
with success in all parts of the country.
Loans are being made through the
finance companies of many Of the
country's large corporations. The
American Radiator Co. announced that
its Heating and Plumbing Finance
Corp. made IS per cent more mod
errizat tion loans than average in Sep
tember. while during the first Is days
of october it made 563 per cent more
than in the same period Of 1888,
which the housing administration
characterized as AN amazing show
ing"
The Johns ManvilIe Co. reported
substantial increase in loans, while
The Philip Carey Moderni5ing Co., In
Cincinnati. stated that its moderniza-
ton loans had increased $50 per cent

Rep. Lewis Still
Strong For u. S.
In World Court
Maryland Congressman Intro
duces Bill Providing Member
ship AS wish Of People"

In an effort to end the impasse
which has for years enabled 33 Sen
ators to delay final action upon
American membership in the World
Court, Representative David ]. Lewis
of Maryland has introduced into
the House a bill providing for such
membership, which has been proposed
by three Presidents and is, in Mr..
Lewis belief, the repeatedly indi-
Gated wish of the American people,
In proposing that American mem
bership in the Court be effected by
an act of Congress instead of
through the treaty-making power Of
the Senate, which, he says, has brok-
en- down as to the Court, Mr.. Lewis
cites several presidents for this meth
cd, among them the case of Texas,
which, as an Independent Republic,
was admitted as an American state
by act of Congress after the Senate
failed to ratify "a treaty with it for
that purpose by the required two
thirds vote. Only a majority vote
lin each House is required to pass
bill.
1t is Mr.. Lewis contention that
by the adoption of the Optional
claus" which is included in his bill
and which has been adopted by As
nations, the Court of Internationa
Justice now meets the objections Of
Senator Borah as to jurisdiction.
In the preamble, Representative
Lewis also cites the American sig.
nature to the Kellogg pact, in which
the United States has renowned wal
as ian instrument of national pol
icy", declaring that this Remuneration
of military force leaves the United
States with no legal means of en-
forcing and protecting it's rights
among the nations unless it enters
the Court. For example,, according
to Mr.. Lewis, America has no right
under the Kellogg pact to attempt to
collect by force a debt owed her by
defaulting nation, but she could
under the Optional clause, summon
it before the World Court and secure
| Judgment for such debt.
Anticipating criticism of his bill
on. the ground that world conditions
are at present unfavorable, Mr.
Lewis said today that, in his opin-
ion, effective American support nov
of the only agency for judicial settle
ment of international disputes might
have some calming effect on frayeC
nerves all over the world. Adhesion
to the World Court was, he thought
one way in which the United States
might helpfully exert its influence
upon the critical situation abroad.
