lcopyrirht. 1885. By united Press

WASHINGTON, May 11-Private
capital has begun TO replace emer-
gency government credit in the
financing Of American banking and
business, reports from Administra-
ton sources showed today. This
trend was emphasized from three
different sources and tended to bear
out the Administration policy of re-
turning financing Of industry and
banking TO private hands as soon as
possible.
Among the indications of re-
turn Of financing to private hands
we're the following:
/. Reiteration by Jesse II. Jones,
chairman of the reconstruction
Finance Corp, the governments
largest credit agency. that we don't
want TO run" railroads, utility or
banks. and RFC figures showing 81

2. Predictions by Chairman JOS

and exchange commission of a re-
sumption of normal financing era by
corporations.

showing that wholly owned govern
ment credit agencies had reduced
outstanding loans to s2,037 .319 ,988
on March 81, from s2,066, 960,63l at

conservation problems, in the opin-
ion of Morris Llewellyn Cooke, head
Of the new Rural Identification

This country has left to it less
than 100 years of virile national ex-
istence, with continuance of the
manner in which the soil, the main

life, is now being squandered," Mr..
Cooke said in addressing tn Ameri-
can Waterworks Association in con-
vention at Cincinnati.
IF we are to win out against the
accelerated progression of this
gangrenous growth of soil erosion,
we have probably less than 20 years
in which to build up the techniques,
to recruit the fighting personnel,
and-most difficult of ALTO change
the attitudes of millions of people
who hold that ownership of land
carries with it the right to mis-
treat, and even to destroy their land,
regardless of the effect on the total

Just as cancer and tuberculosis

worked out comparable in magma
ton and boldness with the aero

Activities relating to flood, erosion

be planned on a broad, long-range
basis, Mr.. Cooke believes, with each

This is the general picture which
the economist himself is the first
to admit may be changed radically
in the event of unexpected develop
ments, the analysis points out, add
ing that it is founded upon sound
observation and surely to plan with
it in mind is wisdom.
Go Hand in Hand
THE cheaper dollar and the in
creasing cost of living" it is said,
go hand in hand, making a cycle of
cause and effect and effect and
cause so continuous that separation
is almost impossible.
Life insurance, ordinarily, is not
paid for in one lump sum. 1t is paid
for over a long period Of years dur
ing which the dollar swings con-
stantly from one degree to another
of cheapness and dearnesS. Meas
ured in terms of living costs, the
dollar swings back and forth.
In 1926 it was theoretically worth
100 cents; in 1929 it was worth 200
cents-twice as much, and in 1882
it had dipped to 80. TIE dollar
itself is neither cheap nor dear,
for. always f1uctuating, it is never
stable.
1.-THE premiums are paid each year
IN dollars of that years value. In
the lifetime of the average policy
premiums are paid in both dear and
cheap dollars and therefore for the
average policy in approximately av-
erage dollars.
Held Protected
The proceeds of the life insur-
ance investment are protected
against extreme fluctuations in pur-
chasing power in two definite and
distinct ways which are peculiarly
the characteristics of life insurance.
You may leave the money with the
company until che dollar becomes
worth exactly what you think it
should be worth and then take it
out. In the second place you can
spread the payments of the life in
surance dollar over IS or 20 or 80
years or the entire lifetime of your
beneficiaries, as you desire"
The analysis concludes by stating
that whatever kind of initiation may
come it will merely be an extension
of the present credit initiation and
that the kind of initiation which
would destroy life insurance benefits
and life insurance companies would
ruin every other types of business.

An unbalanced budget may be me-
