I. A. Morgan of Columbia Lumber to Handle Work
 in Juneau and Douglas

AnLCunc encnU that the General Home Financing Corporation of St. Paul, Minnesota, is now prepared to make loans for construction of new homes within the corporate limits of Juneau and Douglas by means of the Single Mortgage Sys- tenn of the Federal Housing Ad ministration was made today by Thomas A. Morgan, Manager of the Columbia Lumber Company and Juneau agent for the General Home Financing Corporation.
 When he was in the States re- cenly MT Morgan made prelimin- ary arrangements to represent the corporation here and this morning he received word by radiogram that applications for home construction loans will be accepted immediately.
 As provided by the National Hous- ing Act, loans may be made for as long as 20 years and may represent 30 per cent of the completed cost of the building. This, explained MT. Morgan, is in contrast to the prac- tice prevailing before enactment of the National Housing Act when 40 per cent or 50 per cent of the cost was the common upper limit of a first mortgage and provision was made for amortization of the mort gage.
 Federal Housing Administration regulations provide that the maxi mum amount which can be bor- rowed under the Single Mortgage System is S16,000 and the mort gage must be in respect to a dwelling housing not more than four families and having not more than 25 per cent of the floor space devoted to business purposes. Build CTS must comply with certain prop erty standards established by the Federal Housing Administration.
 The maximum amount of interest which any approved mortgagee can charge is 5 per cent plus F of l per cent service charge, both items being computed on decreasing bal ances. The borrower is charged #

interest the results Of the fir~t regional
conference at Santiago
Although the cable columns of the
press have devoted little, if any. at
tention to the specific topics OF
the conferences agenda-outstand
among which were: Raising to l6
I the age of admission to employment
proposed by the United States) ra-
tionalization Of, and reduction of
hours in, the textile industry tpro-
posed by the United States); inaugu-
ration of the truck system, or payment
of wages in kind proposed by Argen-
tina: technical organization of labor
inspection proposed by Chile); living
and working conditions of agricul-
tural workers proposed by Chile)-
news correspondents have reported,
already, at least two significant de-
velopments at the Santiago conference.
Ask Action on Treaties.
One is the approval of a Chilean
motion setting up means for checking
and speeding the ratification of treat
les on labor matters and the enforce
ment of labor legislation by individual
governments. If properly carried out,
the Importance of this suggestion cam
not be overestimated. The main diff
Guilty which confronts labor in Latin
America today is the lack of enforce
ment of liberal provisions, reluctantly
passed by the Legislatures and even
more reluctantly observed by the
authorities of the executive.
The South American countries are
not at all backward in social legisla-
tion. Sixteen of the twenty Latin
American governments have enacted
workmen's compensation legislation,
and many of these have social security
legislation, such as unemployment in
surance and old-age pensions. But
one thing is the enactment of these
advanced measures and another their
actual enforcement, as working men
have repeatedly found out on the
other side of the Rio Grande. If per-
manent labor Office is now going to
see that social legislation does not
remain solely in the books, labor lead
ers in Latin America may later point
to the Santiago conference as real
milestone.
The other important development
transmitted by the new dispatches is
the failure of several attempts at San
tiago to create an independent labor
organization, made up exclusively OF
American states, and detached from
the main institution at Geneva. To
give up all the advantages inherent
to membership in the world organiza-
ton, and the gains already made under
it, would have been an unfortunate
step backward. The representatives OF
American governments, employers and
employees gathered at Santiago showed
tact and vision in renewing their con-
fidence in the only kind Of regional
organization which has possibilities OF
success in this field, namely, one con-
ceived with reference to the rest OF
the world and, in fact, functioning
as Q part Of a universal institution.

AIR RESERVE BILL CITES
LACK OF TRAINED PILOTS
Congress Is Asked to Strengthen Corps
Second Line of Defense to Be
Prepared for Emergency.

The depleted ranks OF the Regular
combat flying service must be filled
from the Air Reserve, 1t was declared
There are 10 National Guard avia-
ton squadrons scattered over the
country, but they cannot be regarded
! in any sense as an offensive fighting
! force since, without exception, they
are observation squadrons, serving the
National Guard Infantry divisions, to
which they are attached. They are
not equipped. trained or maintained
| for offensive air fighting.
"The pilots of established airlines
cannot be regarded as military re-
serve" Congress was told. I'm time
of major war their services would be
all the more required in their present
positions Private flyers. without an
extended period of further training,
could not qualify as military pilots.
Therefore, the Nation must look only
to its Air Reserve for pilots to supple
ment and take the place of the Regu-
lar Air Corps in time Of emergency"
Tradition flinders Expansion.
Since, by tradition. the American
people are opposed to large Regular
and professionally armed forces. it
cannot be expected that our Nation
ever will have a powerful Regular air
force in time Of peace. This country
always has based its defense on the
citizen soldier, the association pointed
out, and there is no prospect Of change
in this national sentiment.
With the support of Congress, re-
serve officers believe. the War De-
partment could readily organize the
reserve pilots into fighting squadrons
at strategic points throughout the
country prescribe training schedule
for each pilot and unit, equip the
squadrons with airplanes and arms
of actual service type, all Of which. in
addition to the regular air component,
It is believed, would provide the coun-
try with adequate air power at a
minimum cost.
Under such plan, IS reserve pilots,
given two training periods a month,
could be maintained for what it costs
to pay one Regular Air Corps pilot,
Congres' has been advised. The Gov
ernment would be spared the immense
capita cost of providing housing for
pilots, since reserve pilots would live
at their own homes. 1t Is believed
that municipalities generally would
be willing to provide the use Of munic-
ipal airports without charge.
The military air reserve today is in
q sad state of neglect.
There Is not one combat plane
at the several reserve detachments fit
for service use." the association has
reported. mot single reserve plane
Is provided with guns to shoot, bombs
to drop or gas to lay. Some Of the
obsolete planes furnished reserve air
drome lack even wings safe to fly

strength is in the South and Far
West, and there is hardly shade of
difference between them, for first
place, just as the East and Middle
West, though showing considerably
less strength, are closely grouped in
second place. There is striking
parallel between the Roosevelt
strength and the New Deal strength
in all the sections, although on the
whole. the Roosevelt strength is less
than his New Deal strength.
OF the 1882 Democrats, the women,
consistently, support Mr.. Roosevelt
with more strength in all sections of
the country than do the men. 1t
will be recalled that the East was
in class by itself IN registering the
biggest opposition to the New Deal.
But the greatest opposition to Mr..
Roosevelt's reelection is not in the
East as might be supposed, but III
the Middle West. where 337 per cent
of his 1892 followers now oppose his
reelection.
That Mr. Roosevelt should en-
counter the least opposition to his
reelection in the South and Far West
is consistent with the small amount
of opposition to the New Deal in these
sections. That he should meet the
greatest opposition to his reelection
in the Middle West and East also
runs parallel to the opposition in the
New Deal, with the one exception
that the opposition to Mr.. Roose-
velt's reelection is more marked in
the Middle West, than was the op-
position to the New Deal
Roosevelt trails the New Deal by
