June 30. The average mortgage loan
accepted for insurance during the six
months ending June 80 was but $4,001,
and this in the face Of generally ris-
ing real estate values, building ma
terials and construction costs.
considering that as of December
81 some 81 per cent Of the actual
number of mortgages accepted were
for less than $4,000 and also that
some 70 per cent of the total num-
Der Of mortgages represented from
66 to 80 per cent Of the appraised
value Of properties covered, both
healthy demand for low-priced homes
and a meeting OF that demand by
mortgage lenders is indicated. While
the ratio of principal to valuation
has not yet been calculated on the
basis Of June 80 totals, preliminary
studies indicate that it will show an
accentuation Of this trend.
Lenders Were Wary.
"The field of investment represented
by this demand for homes in the lower
priced brackets has heretofore been
viewed with considerable skepticism by
many lending institutions. Careful
mortgage lenders were wary of becom-
ing involved with the jerry-builders
who for years have been building paste
board paradises for the lower-income
groups with consequent destruction
of the stability Of the vast real estate
market which those lower income
groups represented"
Bearing in mind that the insured
mortgage is an instrument primarily
designed to encourage home ownership
among persons financially unable to
establish large equities in properties,
Mcdonald points to the progress being
made as indicated by
l. The number Of small mortgages
being accepted for insurance by the
Federal Housing Administration:

subdivision developers in the possibili-
ties OF communities Of low-priced
houses, and

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. a.
(UP)-The economic stability of
Manchukuo, and with it an ade-
quate return on Japan's huge in
vestment depends largely on AM
erica's attitude toward the soy
bean, according to q research and
investigation just completed by
the Institute of Pacific Relations.
If the United States, which is
beginning an ever increasing pro-
duction of soybeans, manages to
consume them all or develops new
outlets for their use, instead of
invading the foreign market,

States continues to develop as it
has in the past few years, and if

VITAL MONOPOLY
HELD
Up to now Manchukuo has had
dominating position both in the
production and expectation of
soybeans. Approximately, rs per
cent of the world crop is grown
there and the export trade has
been a virtual monopoly. This
export is said to be one of the
commercial reasons for construc-
ton of the Southern Manchuria
Railway and the operation of this
on a profitable basis apparently
depends largely upon Manchukuo
maintaining it's worldwide DOM
nance in the soybean market.

U.S.. Seen AS Soy Bean Production
Rival OF Manchukuo; Its Economic
Stability Depends On That Crop

United States has begun to as
sumo large proportions. American
production doubled in 1935-36
and amoundted to 94,l9l,00O
pounds, of which 42,700 metric
tons at a value of approximately
$50, 100000.
u. S. CROPS USED
AT HOME
Manchukuo's foreign markets
have been saved largely from
American competition by the fact
that the American crop is being
used largely at home, the research
indicated. However, it Is pointed
out that American production is
capable of great expansion, es-
pecially in the Middle West. The
United States, with it's mechanic
ed system of agriculture, can
produce soybeans only at about
the same price as the cheap agri-
cultural labor in Manchukuo.
The decrease in expectations
since the peak years of 1928 to
1888 is ATTRIBUTED largely to the
fact that Manchukuo is loving
both the Japanese and Chinese
markets, rather than to any in
crease in production in and ex-
portation from the United States
and other countries where the.
soybean is gaining a foothold as
a valuable crop.
Closing Of the Chinese market
occurred in 1881 partly as the
result of a retaliatory measure
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1936-11-04

bv the Chinese against japanese
products and party by customs
barriers. Loss of the japanese
market, despite Japan,s vast fin
ancial investment in Manchukuo
is attributed to the fact that in
recent years, Japan's industrial
interests have been made great
advances in producinah chemical
fertilizers that replace the soy
bean cake formerly used. This
not only enables Japan to become
self-sufficient from the standpoint
of fertilizers for domestic needs
but induces it to place domestic
chamical fertilizers in foreign
markets, instead of pushing the
sale of Manchukuo soybean cakes.

Redskins Whip City Rival as
Wenning Gets Hot in
Final Period.

Manual High School basketball
boosters had another talking point
with which to bolster their claim to
supremacy today as they cited b
to-22 victory over Washington Con-
tinentals, last-year champions.
The game marked the first intra-
city play for the Redskins since they
captured the SO city title, and they
capitalized on last-quarter hot
streak by Dick Wenning, substitute
forward, to clinch an important VIC
tory over their traditional West Size
rivals.
Wenning replaced Gallamore as
the final period began and immedi-
ately launched a dazzling under
basket drive which netted him four
field goals and pushed the South
Siders we'll out in front.
Cartor of Washington broke into
the score column first with a long
field goal, and his team mate, Shoe
maker, followed quickly with two
charity losses. Cohn, Manual CEN
ter, retaliated with a two-pointer
and a foul shot. Hiatt and Gala
more added two more baskets for
Manual. then Shoemaker came back
with charity point, and the quar-
ter ended, with Manual ahead, 7
to 5.
Early in the second period, Gala
more's free throw, Lasley's two foul
shots and Hardin's field goal entered
the hoop to put Washington ahead
9 to 8. Roessler copied the lead for
the Redskins again with a short
one-handed toss, then Shoemaker
and Sartor added five points to
shove Washington ahead. IA to 10.
Schwomeyer and Roessler brought
the score to IA to 10, with the Con-
tirentals on top.
Schwomeyer tipped in two fouls
at the beginning of the third quar-
ter and Kasnak retorted with a field
basket. Roessler and Schwomeyer
connected, but Shoemaker found the
range to bring washington up one
point behind, 10 to 10, as the period
ended.
Shoemaker was the mainstay for
the losing Continentals, with nine
points. Manual was the fourth con-
secutive squad to defeat the Wash
ington five. In a curtain-raiser,

striking distance of the Kautsky
team. Victory over the Rubbermen
will place the Kautsky squad. which
now has six victories and three
losses, at the top of the standing.
Detroit will not be in action to-
morrow.
U. S. Tires, less fortunate in league
competition, are stranded in seventh
place with four triumphs and six
losses, a position that is not re-
garded indicative of the pitched
battle that should result in tomor-
rows intra-city fracas.
Edwards Leading Scorer
Leroy Edwards, 1885 all-America
collegiate center, is expected to be
the mainstay of the Tire team. The
big pivot star, playing forward this
season, PAGES the individual scorers
in the loop with Ill points in 10
games.
Responsibility of hating him to-
morrow probably will rest with Cy
Proffltt, erstwhile Butler Bulldog
center, or Ed Shaver, former Purdue

and Charlie Shipp are other i'm
portant cogS in the Tire lineup.
