IVA Heads Force Down
Finance Costs on
EFHA Sales.
BY ROBERT s. BROWN
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. Sept. l.
Through the entire expanse of gov
ernmental credit agencies, there
has been chartered a schedule Of
interest rates which follows closely
those of private origin. Only in
cases where private capital APP
preached uSurious demands. has
the government made drastic re-
auctions.
The government policy has been
to loan money at comparative
rather than competitive rates.
Federal entrance into the INSTALL
ment credit field has been recent.
1t is trying two distinct types Of
operation. One, the federal hous-
ing administration, seeks to accom-
plish home improvements and new
construction through the use of
private funds at set interest of
81 per cent and is backed by gov
ernmental credit in the form of
virtual 100 per cent insurance guar
antee against loss.
The second type of inStallment
credit is offered by the Electric
Farm and Home Authority Inc. an
offspring of the Tennessee Valley
Authority.
Low priced electric equipment is
the stock in trade of the EFHA and
in order to purchase, the INSTALL
ment borrower must pay 5 per cent
interest a year on the orlginSt
amount owed. In addition he must
pay a booking charge of 81 to place
his contract in force and then 81
yearly for collection fees. Allowing
for reduction of the principal by
monthly installments paid, the real
interest charge of the borrower is
in excess of 10 per cent.
In some instances, however. this
rate runs much higher. When
service fees are included, persons
buying by small installment pay
mentS on small expenditures, will
pay as high as IS per cent. In one
isolated bracket of the EFHA re-
payment schedule the actual in

MOST banking authorities agree
w that the federal reserve board
had the facilities with which to curb
expansion in the last boom period,
but they maintain it would have
been a rather delicate procedure to
use them. II is not popular thing
to toss a monkey wrench into the
wheels of progress when they are
going along fun swing, and the fed
ersl reserve board is not very far
removed from politics. where pOpu-
larity is quite important.
But If an automatic credit curb
could be created which would work
at a time when We. are apt TO for
get past experiences it would relieve
people then in places of response
bility of the disagreeable task of
putting on the pressure. Moreover,
it would tend to insure application
by making bank reserves fluctuate
with deposit turnover it may be
possible to provide this automatic
curb. If so the general public in
all probability would like to see it
put into practice.

%. But II seems that II does not
purpose 70 attack the question Of
credit from one end only. realizing
apparently that had not credit been
extended too freely in the boom
period We would not nov be suffer-
ing so much from lack Of credit.
IN other words. the present depres-
sion Is due in no small measure to
the boom which preceded II.
Al the present time the amount
Of reserves a bank must carry Is de-
pendent upon the amount of its de-
posts. But there are those who
maintain that il is not so much the
amount Of deposits which measures
undue speculation as it is the We
locity with which deposits are
turned over. And they figure that
If reserves are automatically stepped

much less danger Of speculation get

Initial Prices Lower

Yesterdays opening was fraction
ally lower. Trading hghtened pro-
gressively until it settled down to 40
900 shares an hour in the third and
fourth hours. Prices steadied in
the late morning and gradually rail-
lied later without pickup in activity
The feature Of the business news
was pickup in retail buying
largely attributable to the approach
ing holiday and stocking up against
a textile strike.
In foreign exchange trading the
pound sterling broke below SIS for
the first time since the first week
in February. The franc was firm at
the old point.
United States Smelling touched
1876 early and then mounted to 139
near the close where it was up 21z
points. American Smelling, Cerro
De Pasco. and Howe Sound were
higher. Coppers we're better with
Kennecott up y point
General Motors became active
and firmer near the finish. Chrysler
also picked up. Auburn sagged frac-
tionally. Briggs was weak in the
motor equipments.

A THOUGH the government has
n experienced no little difficulty
in trying to put the credit ma
chinery wheels in motion, there is
believed 10 be great danger that
once they start TO turn they can
not be properly regulated. In es-
tabhshing the groundwork for the
initial push the government has
provided the means by which the
expansion OF credit could reach
much greater proportions than oc-
Cured IN 1923 and 1929.
Evidently the government realizes
this and is laying plans now TO
forestall II. Revision of the bank
ing setup is expected by the next
congress. and it is safe to assume
that steps are being taken now to
be ready with a concrete plan at
the proper time.

HAM AND EGGS
BILL BROUGHT
RIOT BY GOBS

NICE, France, July 9.-(UP).
A bill equivalent in francs to
S3.74 for ham-and-eggs and cof-
fee for three caused the Amerl-
can sailors riots along the Rivi-
era last Friday night.
The proprietor of the cafe
where the trouble started made
this revelation yesterday when
owners of five cafes wrecked by
enlisted men from the U. S. bat
tleships Wyoming and Arkansas
filed claims with police for $40O
damage.
The bill listed smashed china
ware, souvenirs and the bicycle Of
one cafe owner. He said the last
he saw of it, joyous COB was
riding off at full tilt.
The fighting began in one cafe
and spread to others when three
sailors thought 1914 in any kind
of money was too much for ham,
and-eggs. They backed up their
objections by punching the waiter
and when others came to his aid,
the gobs made it general.
One suffered a fractured skull
and scores were injured.

LIFE IN AMERICA, HOPKINS SAYS

, toward relief since inauguration
of the program"
Forbes cited the following as
samples of the North Carolina re-
suits:
One thousand mules and horses
have been purchased and distrib'
uted on a loan basis and are be-
ing used for land tillage.
Land has been obtained for the
landless families.
Gardens are f1ourishing in Eas-
tern North Carolina.
Canning has been changed
largely from canning centers to
the homes, since home gardens,
rather than community gardens,
have been stressed.
"About rs per cent of the
North Carolina families are rural
and of these 40 per cent are dis
placed tenant families" Forbes
said. "With arrangements for
land, loans of workstock, seed,
equipment and fertilizer, with in
structions in raising subsistence
crops and in canning the garden
surplus, the families receiving re-
lief are being restored to iRde-
pendence," - - -. -. =.
