Flight Of Foreign Gold
To Mexico Revealed
By Bank Official
Reports Of King CoroI's
600, 900 Deposit Are
Exaggerated, He Says
By LAWRENCE PERRY,

correspondent OF The Star and N. A. N. A.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Sensa-
tional reports heard recently in
metropolitan financial centers Of
Mexican bank vaults overfowing
with alien gold and other currency,
OF huge purchases of extensive farm
ing and mining areas by foreigners
were cautiously confirmed yester-
day by Louis Ligoretta of the Ma
tior1al Bank of Mexico, just before
his departure by airplane from New
York to. Mexico City.
Undoubtedly, he said, vast sums
have been transferred to Mexico
by Europeans, mainly refugees of
various nationalities Money. too,
has been coming from Switzerland
and other lands, the identity of
which I would not wish to mention
until have returned to Mexico
and checked my facts. Nor would
I care to give an estimate as to the
total sum"
Believes Sum Exaggerated.
Questioned concerning report
that Carol exiled King of Ru-
mania, had s6,0o0,oOo on deposit in
Mexico City and that much of 1t
would be invested in Mexican prop
erty, Mr.. Ligoretta was uncommuni-
eetive.
II think" he said, the sum named
is probably exaggerated"
But from high banking sources in
Wall Street, it was learned that
money now stored in Mexico in
wolves q huge sum Nor is it all
money brought into the southern
republic by millionaire refugees or
by Europeans mistrustful OF their
own banking systems. American
money is there. lots of it: money
of New Deal haters or those without
strong political prepossessions who,
for some strange reason, have felt
their wealth was safer in Mexico
than here.
The influx began toward the end
ef the Franco rebellions in Spain,
when heads of the Inflated republic
Evening star., 1941-10-23

began to look about for safe reposi-
tories for their own and government
funds. When the revolution started
some $3.50, 100000 in gold lay in the
Bank of Spain. Much of it was sent
abroad for safe keeping, as time
went on. and no small part of it is
in Mexico today.
Had $4,000, 900 for Deposit.
New York bankers were the first
to experience the aftermath OF with
drawal of Spanish treasure. To one
of the most prominent banks came
Spaniard shortly after Franco at
tanned final victory.
Il have with me-" he said, IS, q
10000 which I would like to de-
post"
Questions soon made it clear that
the visitor possessed hot money"
this being the very term the banker
employed in telling the writer about
the visit. He was informed that the
bank would not touch it, nor would
any other New York financial insti-
tuition. Presumably the money is
now in Mexico. Subsequent sums of
enormous total went to Mexico, in
stead of this country, bankers say,
because Of fear of foreign funds
being frozen here
Worry about national financial
and economic conditions was as
cribed by a prominent New York
banker as the reason for the trans
fer of American capital to Mexico
and other Southern countries.
1T is true" this banker said.
that conditions in Mexico have been
unstable and that Oil lands and
other property have been con-
fiscated. But you should bear in
mind that only local banks have
been confiscated. Banks of absentee
owners nave not been molested.
Rightly or wrongly, some Amer

leans feel their wealth will be safer
in Mexico, the Argentine and else
where.
Would you" this banker was
asked, cache your money in Mexico
or invest it there if you thought of
doing something radical with your
capital?"
The banker, an expert in Latin
American finance, shook his head.

Dearborn Sub

The junction of Monroe boule-
ward and Outer Drive, in recently
developed Maple Grove, in Dear
born, is to be the scene of an
extensive 200-hone building prof.
ect this year. according TO Frank
Volk of the firm of Volk & Row
SEX. Detroit builders and realtors
who are handling the enterprise.
The area itself is one of quaint
beauty and charm and derives its
name-Maple Grove - from the
fact that every one of the 40-foot
lots in the subdivision has on il
one or more well developed maple
trees; rolling ground and winding
streets further enhance the ideal
home building aspects of this
property.
Although distinctly suburban in
character. the development is only
about a mile on Outer Drive or
Monroe boulevard from the heart
of downtown, west or old Dear
born. Schools and churches are
close at hand.
Volk also pointed out that
Maple Grove would tend TO fill a
definite need for an attractive
suburban community within the
reach of persons having only the
most moderate of incomes.

10000 Homes
Lift Debt in Al,
Is Prediction
obstinate Is Given by
~ u. S. Savings, Loan
League in Report

At least 10000 homes will be
cleared of debt in America this
year, probably the largest number
in any one year Of our history. the
United States Savings and Loan
League estimated Saturday.
Its figures are based on the con-
tractual payments of borrowers
from the savings, building and
loan associations. who were placed
on regular monthly repayment
schedules when they borrowed the
money back in the 1920s when
other lenders gave little thought
to amortization.
Ferrnor S. Cannon, Indianapolis,
chairman of the leagues home
building and home owning COM
mittee, said that the typical saw
ings and loan mortgage loan in
the 1920's was for IL to II years,
with some of them running for a
shorter time but all repayable
monthly.
Thus the loans made in 1929, IL
repaid according TO the original
contract, will normally be COM
pletely liquidated this current
year.
Cannon's committee concluded
after study that at least 167 900
of the 100000 loans made by the
associations in 1929 were kept on
the regular payment schedule and
will be finally paid off this year.
About S69.000,000 in monthly
payments on the principal of these
loans will go back to the associa-
tons in this process of debt
clearance.

Estate GiVesWay
ToHome Project

What was once one Of Pitts
burgh's most, elaborate mansions
is being torn down to make way
for a low rent housing project.
The home. located on Nunnery
Fill, overlooking the steel city's
famous Golden Triangle. was once
the majestic abode of Col. James
Andrews, friend of Andrew Car
negie.
The IL acres Of the Andrews
estate will be joined with seven
acres of adjacent land and will
form the site of a S1,344,000 de-
velopment VIII CHI will provide
homes for PA low income families.
Colonel Andrews purchased the
land for his home from the nuns
of the Order of st. Clare in the
1905. A celebrated engineer, he
built the first bridge across the
Mississippi at ST. Louis and super
vised the construction of the levees
at the mouth of the river below

Flooring Fddfor
In Decoration

Flooring. often considered the
forgotten factor of home decora-
ton, is becoming increasingly a
part Of the scheme of interior
decoration.
In the past flooring offered
little opportunity for effective
decor, being confined almost en-
tirely TO conventional strips OF
soft or hard woods, but today a
number of new and coiorfui
finish-fiooring materials are avail
able.
Not only are many Of these
materials colorful and varied in
design but they are highly durable
and readily applied.
The materials offer unusual OPP
portunities for creating new
effects either in a new home or
in undermining old interiors.
