Rejection of the nomination was
by standing vote, and only two

The senate, however, confirmed

BY ROGER BABSON

GLOUCESTER, Mass, June 30
Most economists and business men
agree that the real cause of de-
preston is debt. In 1929, personal
bank loans, business loans, brokers
loans, and mortgages on homes and
other real estate were at all-time
highs. Everyone owned everyone
else. When the burden of this debt
finally became too heavy, the whole
structure collapsed. A good deal OF
this private debt was liquidated
from 1929 to 1892. Since then
debts have been increasing rapidly
again. The Presidents latest
scheme of issuing $4,000, 100000 OF
fancy government bonds is the linn
it.
In general, since 1893, people have
been encouraged to get into debt
rather than to get out of debt. For
instance, for every dollar that loans
on securities have been cut down
by New Deal insistence on higher
margins, loans on houses have been
increased by reducing the down
payment. In 1929, man could
buy conservative stocks by putting
up 20 per cent of the money, but he
could not buy home unless he
put up 30 to 40 per cent. To-day a
man can buy a home If he can
make a down payment of 10 to
20 per cent. but he cannot buy
stocks or bonds unless he can lay
40 per cent on the counter.
InstalIment Sales Booming
Instalment debt has also increas-
ed sensatio:,ally. The Admininstra-
ton sponsored instalment selling
under the provisions of the first
Housing Act. People were allowed
to paint their houses, rebuild their
roofs, and 90 other repair work on
an easy-payment basis. The gov
ernment also encouraged the sale
of electrical appliances on a time
basis. This was splendid advertis-

near the water, and during high
tides have noticed damp spots in

floor taken up entirely? What will
resist this pressure?
Answer-A badly cracked and
buckled cement floor should be
taken up and a new one laid of
sufficient thickness to resist the ex-
treme water pressure. The floor
should also be given a membrane
Waterprooflng treatment, with a
topping of 3 or 4 inches of cement.
