Raleigh, Jan. 25.-Although suppos-
ed to be on the defensive, DR.. Frank
Graham, president of the Greater Uni
versity. took control of the appropr1a-
tons committee hearing yesterday aft
crnoon. With benefit of a number of
charts he demonstrated the growth OF
the three units of the university in
enrolment and value of plants and
equipment, and showed that even If
given everything asked for, the uni
versity would be operating on a basis
of IT'S per cent appropriation as COM
pared with 1928-29. Ten years ago,
with 5,717 students, the State actually
spent S1,81O,415. This year, with 1900
students, appropriations were 81, 429,-
TIA. Next year, with estimated stu
dent body of 1880, the budget appro-
priation is S1,C52,931, and the univer-
sity is asking $1,927 Ala.
The item of increased tuition, which
for some weeks babe fair to furnish
some fireworks, received little atten-
ton. There was the general feeling
that no increase will be pressed for
in the case of State students any
Wav.
For nearly an hour the soft-spoken
little man presented his case to
most attentive joint committee, with
q fringe of a hundred or SO visitors.
When time came for questions, two
were asked that might have cmbar-
raised another man. Senator Fred
Folger wanted to know which would
hurt most, raise tuition or reduce the
money coming to the university.
Either would be SO damaging could

necessary to establish such means
to obtain a free flow Of private
credit. Nevertheless, the necessity
obviously does exist and steps must
be taken along this line.
Another interesting proposal has
been advanced by Senator Pepper OF
Florida, who Is sponsoring a bill to
establish a system of regional indus
trial credit banks to furnish addi-
tional direct credit and capital
facilities for business purposes. He
would provide liberal terms for the
extension of such loans-not dis
similar to the procedure now en-
ployed by the Federal land banks
in making loans for the refinancing
of farm mortgages. Senator Logan
of Kentucky is likewise sponsoring
legislation for the establishment Of
intermediate credit banks, to make
industrial loans.
A new bill which I am introducing
this week will attack the problem in
still another manner. This measure
will provide for the organization of
pdtlk dAulldCcS, expressly SeC up 10
extend loans to industry.
These are some of the legislative
suggestions that are being made TO
assist business enterprises in the
United States. They demonstrate
that among members of Congress
there is definite realization of the
lack of industrial credit and that
there is a genuine desire to do some
thing about 1t.
Congress is concerned with pro-
viding more adequate credit facil-
tiles for small business because the
Evening star., 1939-03-14

have endeavored to be liberal in the
amortization requirements. Insur-
ance will be provided banks In cases
where their industrial loans are not
in excess of $200,00 A seven-year
amortization period is permitted and
an interest rate in excess of 4 per
cent may not be charged. A service
charge may not exceed ! per cent
and the loans or advances of credit
may be secured by first mortgage
upon real estate or by a chattsl
mortgage upon personal property.
We have presented this bill with
the thought that it would stimulate
small business loans and involve the
expenditure of no Federal funds. It
is, in many respects, similar to the
program of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration which is now insuring
bank loans for the construction of
homes. The F. H. A. has been popu-
lar with the banks because it uses
Federal credit. to secure loans made
by the banks at a profitable rate of
interest. If it has proven practical
to extend long-term loans for nome
building, why will it not likewise
prove practical to extend long term
loans to business? A man may now
borrow $4,000 to build home, re-
paying it perhaps on a 20-year in
stallment basis. Why should he not
be able to borrow $4,000 for indus
trial capital purposes and pay it
back on seven-year installment
basis? That, in effect, is the rea-
soning behind our proposal OF
course, the whole picture is dis
appointing because it should not be

problem Is national In scope and
acute in its serious effect upon our

problem is national In scope and
acute In its serious effect upon our
economy.
To get picture of the immensity
OF those affected, we must under
stand that over 100000 companies
in this country may be classified as
small business" concerns. Such a
number have assets of less than
$5,000,0 900, and approximately 386, 900
companies have assets of less than
81 100000. Companies with assets
Of less than $5.0O0,00 make up 26
per cent Of the total assets of all
corporations in this country. In
addition to the small corporations,
there are many business partner
ships and individual proprietor
ships, the great majority of which
fall into the small business" class.
1t is, therefore, self-evident that
the well-being Of our economy can
not be divorced from the we'll being
OF these small and medium sized
corporations.
Big business is, to a great extent,
Evening star., 1939-03-14

dependent upon small industry for
Its raw materials and its markets,
and likewise for its basic prosperity.
With this in mind, 1t is true that
small industries in our medium
sized towns and cities are funda-
mental to the successful functioning
OF our economic system. Therefore,
1t is OF the utmost importance to
consider the means by which small
business can he revitalized. and the
method by which its importance to
the economic welfare of tn, whole
Nation can be increased. The es-
sence OF the rehabilitation of small
business requires that it be pro-
vided with more capital and with
better credit facilities.
We are inclined to overlook the
fact that without an adequate and
properly directed flow of capital into
industry, there can be no efficient
operation of our national economy
New capital investment is not only
required for the construction of addi-

81 ,000, 900, and he is not interested
in aiding new and unknown con-
Germs. He is probably correct in
pointing out that the cost Of distri-
button Of small amounts would be
prohibitive. But, again, the fact re-
mains that he Is proving of no direct
help to smaller business and is, in
effect, contributing to their difn-
culties through his assistance to
large firms that often approach the
monopoly size.
Therefore, we have the deplorable
absence OF any reasonable credit
facilities for our small businessman.
Neither the local, commercial or
investment bank will give him the
helping hand he so sorely needs.
r. F. C. Liberalization Not Enough.
An important New York banker
wrote to me last week stating that
his bank Is giving increased atten-
ton to loans for small business. He
intimated that they were satisfying
most requests and that not many
were being received. The numerous
letters in my files plus the flood of
applications filed with the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. would not
bear out the assumption that this is
generally true. In fact, running
through innumerable cases is the
complaint that banks cannot or will
not approve loan applications. The
record of the r. F. c. fails to furnish
evidence that 1t has been of any
significant or widespread assistance
to small enterprise. Congress en-
deavored to liberaliZe the original
r. F. c. Act and to provide addi-
tional loans to industries. Some aid
has been granted under this LIBERAL
ization, it is true, but it is not drop
in the bucket so far as a really effec-
tive program is concerned.
In the face of these circumstances,
it does seem beyond question that
we lack an adequate mechanism
through which small industry can
satisfy its capital and credit needs.
Several bills are now pending in
Congress to cope with this problem
and to assist small business in OBJ
tanning its required capital. Repre-
sentative Allen of Pennsylvania and
myself are jointly sponsoring a meas
ure which has for its purpose the
insurance by the r. F. c. of loans
made by banks to business enter
prises for the increasing of produce
ton, extension of operation, mod
ernization of plants, etc. If enacted,
such a law would insure banks
against losses they might sustain in
making such industrial loans. We

quicker unemployment will be re-
duced"
Typical of hundreds of similar in
stances, just consider the situation
confronting this Ohio manufacturer:
up until this year I operated two
small mills, employing about 40 men.
But because could not raise or
secure from banks capital loan of
only $2,500 I was closed out"
When we realize the practical
effect of idle plants and wholesale
community unemployment, we can
grasp the imperativeness of legis-
lative action to relieve such situa-
tions.
If it is true, as it is time after
time indicated, that the unavaila-
bility of adequate credit lies at the
bottom of this appalling dilemma,
then why not make such credit avail
able and why not take positive action
Immediately?
Small Businesses SmOthered.
1t is perfectly true that we would
not be discussing this problem for
it would not exist if the banks were
loaning for capital purposes in any
appreciable amount. We know that
this is not due to lack of money in our
banks. The causes of present bank
ing policies constitute a long story,
but the fact remains that small
business is being slowly smothered
for want of credit.
The bank in your village or city
contributed vastly to the develop
ment of America. Its principal con-
tribution was to loan money for the
creation, operation and expansion of
small business. So-called "charac-
ter loans used to be common. The
banker and the businessman were
close together. They understood
each others needs and they worked
harmoniously to fill those needs.
The banker built up his community
because he had faith in it and faith
in his neighbors. It is an unhappy
circumstance that that relationship
no longer applies. Today character
loans" are thing of the past. Today,
although 10-year credit terms satisfy
the law, banks make few long term
loans. The result is they are not of
great practical assistance to small
industry and they have. in effect,
lost much of their former value to
the community.
The investment banker is of little
or no assistance to the types of small

talking. He floats security issues,
which are easily salable, for large
and well-known companies. AS
rule he is not interested in the f1ota-
