HOOVER FEARS
FASCISM IN u. S


world into paths of righteousness
with the dogs Of war.
While we should reject the idea
of pledging our military or econo-
mic forces to any scheme for pre-
sevring peace by making war We
have both the obligation and the
interest to organize and join in
the collective moral forces to pre-
vent war"
War Not Imminent
Mr.. Hoover reiterated his belief
that a general European war is not
imminent, since war preparations
are incomplete.
He found a nexus between $50
called planned economy" in the
United States and Fascism.
1T is worthy of emphasis" he
said, that Fascism has always be-
gun in the form of planned econ
omy And it was ushered in by the
same cries and slogans that they
were for the liberation of the COM
mon man"
Democracies, he said are first
infected with totalitraianism "by
the plausible notions of cure the
business slump through so-called
economic planning"
Every step in this direction re-
quires another" he continued.
Every step further demoralizes
free economy And step by step
more force and coercion must be
applied until all liberty-economic
and personal and political-is lost.
Borders on Fascism
Let no man make the mistake
that we in America have until now
avoided the infection of these Euro
pean systems. If our so-called plan
ned economy is not an infection
from the original system of Fas-
cism, it is at least a remarkable
coincidence"
European nations have shown
better recovery from depression
than the United States, Hoover
said, but he added that while the
average German is today better off
than he was five years ago, THE
standard Of living is higher in all
the democratic states than in any
OF the F'aSciSt states.
Fascism has become a raging
power" which no longer holds with
in its original boundaries, Hoover
warned, but has spread to IA Euro
pean nations with 240,000,000 peo-
pie.
German Fascism, he said, has
brought some sort of employment
and security to all who comply"
And concentration camps" he
added drily, give security to the
balance"
Meanwhile, he said, MARKHAM So
cialism is a dying faith and So
Wet Russia sis moving steadily to-
ward Fascist regime" But he
predicted that inevitably Fascism
also would die.

SECOND.CLASS STAIRS

To build anything but frst-class

use and decoration.
The results Of poor stair building

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-Additional
financing for fields of real estate where
there Is now q dearth Of funds was
foreseen in speech by Ralph
H. Cake, Portland, Greg. savings and
loan executive, before the North Cen
tral Conference of the United States
Building and Loan League. He said
that savings, building and loan asso-
Citations can expand their lending field
beyond the single-family home by
taking extraordinary precautions with
appralsals and provisions that the
net revenue is to be paid to the lender
to help reduce the loan.
He suggested that loans on apart
ment houses, suburban business prop
critics. downtown business properties
and the like be made only by larger
associations, with minimum of prob
ably $4,000 in assets. He added
that loans on buildings as large as
four-famlly homes can safely be made
by smaller associations
I'VE know that other than single
family dwellings are necessary and
that money for such loans must be
made available" said the speaker. ITO
safeguard our making of such loans
we should keep the general attitude
that we do not ordinarily make them
and let the applicant convince us that
his particular loan is an exceptionally
good risk
In making apartment loans We can
have a provision that all the net rev.
enue is to be paid to the mortgage
In this way the loan can be reduced
much faster than the minimum re-
quirements for repayment during the
good years, and an extra cushion can
be built. The same thing can be done
with commercial properties and it is
advantageous to owners as well as to
lenders.
"On all large properties the mort
gagee should have at least two in
dependent appraisers. No man, simply
because he knows values of individual
homes, is equipped to value large prop
.erties. So many other considerations
enter the picture, especially the rev.
enue from the building
He estimated that the average apart
ment house loan is about 20 times
as large as the average home loan,
that suburban business properties aver
age from 2 to times the single
family loan and downtown business
property loans from 20 to 200 times
the home loan.

useful lesson, one that is proving

Sacramento division:
Roller bearing boxes on the

are equipped with odor bombs
which discharge an obnoxious odor
in the event the journal bearings
run excessively hot. When you de-
tect such odor, train should be
stopped and an inspection made"
Passengers, of course, will never

they ride in air-conditioned cars
with sealed windows and tight
fitting doors. So they can give
