oil types of sound urban mortgages
In q letter to the Committee on
Banking and Currency of the Senate,
Edward A. MacDougall, New York
chairman of the associations Com
mtttee on Real Estate Finance, states
the feeling Of the association that
the Wagner-Pepper bill should be re-
4arded as companion measure to
that recently enacted extending the
Governments guarantee Of F. H. A.
debentures.
Mortgage Banking Systems.
I'm addition to the insurance of
mortgages as provided under F. H. A.,
1t Is our judgment that the mortgage
market Of the country for the great
field of private activity in new build

ton properly until We have estab-

The market for sound mortgages OF

would be created by the proposed Fed

machinery for sound control and CO.

There is very general recognition
that the mortgage market needs 6

safety of his loan. The mortgagol

property has safety only as he ca,

ever may be fair discount at the
time.
If sound mortgage becomes rea-
sonably liquid investment, through a
co-ordinated discount system, we
should have safeguard for both
mortgage investment that should do
much to cut down mortgage money
cost. Such added marketability as has
oeen given home mortgages through
r n. A. insurance even though no one
may hold these insured mortgages
except an institution that is already
one OF F. H AS approved mortgages,
is shown by the fact that some 40
millions in these mortgages have
changed hands in recent months.
AT times when capital support is
needed in the national mortgage mar
ket the proposed central mortgage
bank would be in a position to draw
this support. through issue of its own
securities. This is the way the Reserve
banks give us a reserve capital supply
Tor business loans. The value back
of the securities would be the actual
permanent use value of our urban
homes, commercial buildings and Of
flee buildings.
Most Countries Protected.
I'VE still remain almost the onlv
country without a sound system of
governmental supervision by which
public savings can be securely in
vested in bonds, based upon mort
gage security" Mr. MacDougall points
out.
The present bill, introduced Jointly
by Senator Wagner of New York.
chairman Of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee, and Senator Pep
per OF Florida, is now before the SEN
ate Banking and Currency Committee
1t embodies plan advocated for years
by the National Association of Real
Estate Boards as the primary need of
the mortgage and of the mortgage
market.
The home loan act was a direct re-
suit of this proposal, but this legisla-
ton as actually enacted was 80 linn
tied In the type of institution that
could come under the system as to
serve only a limited class of lenders.
The Fletcher bill, before the last Con-
gress, embodied the associations pro-
posal in detail The present Wagner.
Pepper bill is a re-introduction of the
Fletcher bill.
The proposed Federal Mortgage
Bank, permanent discount and pur-

Painting in Indian Homes.

All the rooms in the homes OF the
richer class in India are painted. In
recent years the better class of Indian
with the necessary means has been
turning away from the Indian styles
OF decorative work and adopting West

used as they prove much more salts

Paint Garden Tools.

Before you begin your Spring gar

color to your rakes, spades and

them from the weather and to keep
them smooth. Bright colors make

John Carson, veteran news

told the women that If, through
the Consumers Counsel, the peo-
pie Of the country could be made

IF we can reach women in
other States and interest them in
consumer problems and in carry

keep people informed in affairs
Of the Government, I think
maybe the job of the Consumers
Counsel will be enc worthy of
your respect, at least, and that Is
what we will try to make it."
Mr.. Carson told the group he
feels President Roosevelt has
done much to increase the aver
age citizens interest in the Gov
eminent.
The recent Supreme Court is

people the desire to learn what
the Constitution really is like.
I hope the discussion continues,
for it is a fine thing for the peo-
pie to develop an interest in
their country

Consumers Counsel as well as
