such an investigation were to show
clearly that the 4 per cent rate

raise the rate.
AS 1t is. the FILA rate of 4AI

better investment return, and the
conventional loan an even better

plus an interest rate ranging from
Az to S per cent.
At the same time, Government
officials expressed belief that the
availability Of money is increas-
ing. They explained that lenders
have worked themselves out of
the situation which many faced
earlier In the year Of having a
large backlog of commitments to
insure mortgages at a time when
they didn't have a great deal of
cash on hand.
This came about when the Gov
ernment stopped supporting Gov
|ernment bonds. The bonds dropped
in price. and institutions counting
on selling bonds they held in order
to meet mortgage commitments
were confronted with having to
sell at loss or pulling out of the
market FOR new mortgages.
Many Lenders Forced Out.
Many lenders were forced out of
the market for new mortgages. as
a result. and only recently have
there been indications that new
savings were beginning to pile up
in sufficient volume to encourage
renewed volume interest in mort
gage lending.
Almost every person in the f.
nancing and building field has a
different angle on the money mar
|ket. and his own theories about
what is going to happen. Each
mans view, it is apparent, is some
what influenced by his own par
ticular experiences. as well as by
his function in the industry.
Whatever the viewpoint, how
ever, everyone seems to agree that
mortgage financing continues to be
IN q state not calculated to make
the builders future look quite so

SHEEP-KILLING GRIZZLY FILLED BY CANADIAN

BURNS LAKE. B. C.. (AP) - Old Red, the sheep-killing griz- zly bear of the Cariboo, is dead.
 A rancher's quick wit-and Old Reds appetite for mutton did him in.
 Farmers of the interior Brit ish Colum b i a area laid the slaughter of 29 sheep in two months to the roan-colored var mint.
 Cyril Shelford and Old Red met face to face Monday night when the rancher went to drive a flock of sheep to the corral. Shelford had only a short club for a weapon.
 He threw it at the menacing bruin, then dashed for the corral. Old Red followed before he could slam the gate.
 With his footWork faiing him, Shelford resorted to headWork. He sprinted toward an injured ram, hoping 1t would divert Old Red. It did. The bear stopped and killed it.
 Shelford reached the house and turned with a rifle. He poured 20 shots into Old Red before the beast fell dead on its final charge. Shelford has a col lection of claws as souvenir. Each is more than three inches long.

Congress increased its pace thi.
week. The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation and Federal Housing
had bills on the Floor for House
action. Debates brought hot
words from strong partisans. The
Independent position has its adj
vantages-it is easier on the blood
pressure.
Reconstruction Finance Corp.
voted for the reorganization
of the r. F. c. with one man re-
sponsibility and an advisory
Board. This was in line with re-
Communications of the Hoover
Committee. 1t should be more
efficient.
The disgraceful scandals invol-
wing a mink coat and political in
fiuence brought charges and count
ter charges. After the oratory end
ed / decided to vote in favor of
the reorganization for four reas
ons.
ID The X. +. I. is essential to
small business. Most of the loans
are for less than 100000 and to
small organizations for the devel-
opment of new business. The
banks do not and cannot lend
money on this basis. Yet these
new businesses are essential to the
advancing of the economy of our
nation. Most of these businesses
could not have been organized
without r. F. c. aid.
q Though organized for ser
vice the r. F. c. has made a hand
some profit. In its eighteen-year
existence it has loaned $21 bill
lion and made a gross profit of
one billion, four hundred million
dollars. Its bad loans aggregate
only 5000 million. This means the
government has earned approx
mately $77,000,000 a year by
operating R. F. c. 1t is a good
record Of operation.
81 The reorganization seems to
be the best chance to clear up a
shameful and disgraceful situa-
tion. The recent scandals now be-
ing aired in public have been
brought about by irresponsible
people. To vote against this re-
organization would permit the r.
F. C. to continue to drift under its
present management and would
not aid in ending the scandals.
Some who were against it admit
ed "they wanted it to stew itself
to death in its own foul juice"
That seems to me TO be an unwOr-
thy attitude.
~ A vote against the reorgani
zation was the first step in at
tempts to destroy the R. F. c. Re.
vision, not repeal, seems best A
dirty house is cleaned, not de-
stroyed. That is the situation con-
corning the r. F. c.
