Ury Department. At the present
rate of increase. financial circles
believe that the $50 900. 900 900 mark
will be crossed before the end Of
the year. mark thus far surpassed
only by Great Britain and France.
Shortly after the World War
Britain's debt was s39l43,695.475
since reduced TO approximately
$50 900, 900 .000 France is estimated
TO owe slightly more than 100000,
100000 at the present time.
II is pointed out. however, that
the American public debt is not
directly comparable to the British
because of the greater proportion
in the United States of various
political subdivisions which have
borrowed heavily. Including all
government subdivisions, tn e
American debt is approximately
$4,000, 100000. or $500 for every
man, woman and child in the
country, while the British debt is
S45 900, 900, 900 or 1891 per capita.
Nearly one-third of our Federal
debt has accumulated under the
Roosevelt Administration. The lat
est increase is attributed mostly to
recent borrowings to carry out the
vast New Deal works-relief pro-

DEARER MONEY
SEEN ASSURED
AS BONDS DROP
Treasury Believed EnCour-
aging Situation by CeaS-
ing Price Support.
BIZ Times Speciqi

NEW YORK, Sept. 2l.-Early IN
crease in money rates is now held
assured in most financial circles as
direct response to the renewed
break in government bond prices.
In tact the conviction is expressed
in some quarters that the Treasury
is disposed to encourage a situation
that will hasten such increase, the
object being to make it possible for
banks to resume the profitable lend
ing of money. That encouragement,
it is held, is being extended by
negative action. That is, the gov
eminent has Withdrawn it's sup
port of government bond prices.
Whatever may be the facts with
reference to government support or
non support of its bonds, the price
level has been driven to new low
territory in the decline from mid
July peaks. with corresponding
expansion of yield, and the Il of l
per cent interest rate on time loans
is now held to be doomed for early
doubling.
The consensus is that bank loans
for commercial purposes will develop
the beginning of healthy growth
as interest rates move up. 1t is a
paradox that loans rarely expand
when the trend is toward cheaper
money. Most of the larger banks
are reported ready to announce the
boost in rates. Few of them are
putting out funds at the 4 OF l per
cent rate now. it is claimed, except
to favored customers.

GRIMM VISIONS
HOME BUILDING
BOOM IN 1885
Construction May Eclipse
Record Year in 1925,
Expert SAYS.
Copyright. 1895. by United Press

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-A ma
tion-wide home building boom next
year that may eclipse the record
year 1925 was predicted today by
Peter Grimm, the Administration S
housing trouble shooter"
Mr.. Grimm, assistant to Secretary
of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau
Jr, and himself a real estate OPP
orator, gaSed his optimism on in
formation supplied him by Admin
istration housing experts and by
personal contact with building sup
ply manufacturers, bankers and in
Surance companies.
Along with the possible boom. 1t
was learned the government was
studying means to keep down build
ing costs and also for an eventual
withdrawal of Federal money form
home building activities.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-09-21
Desk a Clearing House

The Administration home build
ing program has been centered in
the hands of Mr.. Grimm. His desk
is the clearing house for activities
Of the Home Owners Loan Corp.
the Federal Housing Administration
and for other Administration build
ing interests.
THE peak of Federal financial
home aid is over without a doubt"
Mr.. Grimm said. All the people 1
have talked with say that the pc
Rod of distress is over and that
private capital is now flowing into
construction and loans"
He said figures gathered by him
and his associates showed that a
minimum of 10000 new homes
would be built next year and that
construction may reach as high as a
million. In the peak home building
year of 1925. his figures showed only
100000 new homes. Construction
then declined over the past decade
to low of 100000 homes in 1880.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-09-21
High Costs Deterrent

The matter of high construction
costs is the principal deterrent to
the coming building boom, Mr..
Grimm asserted. This matter, he
said, however, is to be studied by
the Federal government for the first
time.
Mr.. Grimm. predicted that the
present flow of private capital into
home building at low rates would be
accelerated and would permit the
government to sponsor increased
construction without the use of
much government money. He in
sisted that the government was mot
in the building business" but merely
trying to promote increased con-
struction as part of the recovery
program.
Most of the pending new con-
struction. he said, would be in lower
priced units for persons with only
moderate incomes.

Market Is Nervous

The government bond market has
developed into nervous affair for
various reasons. The absence of
support is one reason. The ease with
which prices are driven down with
out real liquidation from institu-
tional sources is another. Specula-
tive sentiment, of a beariSh turn,
has become more or less rampant.
The question of liquidation by
banks, in the declines that have oc-
currred during the last five or six
weeks, is somewhat contentious, al
though the best information seems
to be that it has been of the slight
est proportions. Banks on the whole
are reported not disturbing their
portfolios of government bonds, be-
ing content to write down inven-
tory losses.
The very fact that banks as
whole have not been sellers of gov
ernmentS in the recent Declines
with portfolios estimated at Is per
cent greater than a year ago, is
construed as a handicap for any
early upturn in the price ~tructure.
Buying that may come into the
market from that source. even at
lower levels, is held to be an eX-
tremely doubtful quantity.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-09-21
5 Per Cent Yield Needed

1t is believed in some quarters
that nothing short of per cent
yield level would bring the banks
back into the government bond
market as buyers. in any appreci-
able force. Yesterdays sharp break
carried the yield to about $50 per
cent, as against $50 in the recent
summer peak. A year ago the level
was at 3.24 per cent following the
sharp reaction from 2.71 per cent
in July of last year
The October redemption of the
called Liberty Ass IS held now to
present a more troublesome problem
than was anticipated, since it is
considered doubtful that exchanges
will approximate expected 80 per
cent of the 81 $50 ,000,00 total. There
is prospect now that the redemption
may dissipate the $500,000,0O0 the
Treasury added to its funds by the
recent sale of II per cent notes.
There arises at least the specter
that the Treasury may resume Dor
rowing earlier than was expected a
week ago. This all the more con-
fuses the immediate outlook of the
government bond market.

plans for the new home which
Gary Cooper is building were re-

smallest to be inhabited by a

The plans, which were okayed
by Cooper while on location at

rooms, a large and small bedroom,
living room, dining room, den
and kitchen. This small home,
which is being designed entirely

all for entertainment of guests,
will be nestled in the two-and-a-

chased.
