Small Firms
Loan System
Set by SBA

Clarence P. Moore, regional di
rector of the Small Business Ad
ministration for the states OF
Maryland, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia
and the District Of Columbia. to.
day announced new program
of financial assistance tailored to
the needs of small concerns, par
ticularly in the retail, wholesale
and service trades.
Loans can be made to small
firms under this new program,
known as the Limited Loan Par.
ticipation Plan, up to a limit of
$4,000 in government funds plus
share from the borrowers
bank.
The new program has been
tested by the Small Business AID
ministration on a trial basis since
July 6, 1855. 1t is designed to
provide term bank participation
loans to- very small firms such
as retail stores, repair shops, res
taurants, dry cleaning establish.
ments and many other similar
enterprises.
Interest on these loans has been
set at six percent, with the re-
quirement that the borrowers
bank take at least IS percent
share of each loan.
Mr.. Moore explained that loans
approved under the Limited Loan
Participation Plan will be APP
proved by the Regional Office,
900 N. Lombardy Street, Rich
mond, Va, and will not have to
be sent to Washington for APP
prevail These loans will provide
financial assistance for longer
periods to very small firms which
need additional funds for expan-
sion, modernization, acquiring
new fixtures, acquiring parking
facilities, adding a second loca-
ton, providing additional inven.
tories, and other purposes.
These loans may run as long
as five years, maximum select
ed by the Small Business Admin
istration because a survey of the
credit needs of small firms show
ed that credit from one to five
years is the type that would meet
most of their requirements.
Security will be required in all
cases, Mr. Moore said, but the
participating bank will handle
the details of appraising and OBJ
tanning the proper security for
the loan.
Mr.. Moore said that all small
firms interested in obtaining
more information about the Lin
tied Loan Participation Plan
should visit their bank or con-
tact the nearest SBA Office. The
office for this area is located at

Washington, D. c., Sept. A.

of typically strong convictions"

son and the Democratic ticket.
Rugged" Campaign

handing the southern approaches

emerging from the current Suez
Juror.
Propaganda Speculation
The British are confident the
Egyptian plan hinges on the Unit
ed Nations trust territory of Ital-
ian Somalia, which has been prom
ised self-government in 1860 and
which is the focal point of Egypt
ian activity.
Various but corroboratory re-
ports say that Somalia is flooded
with Egyptian schoolbooks and
propaganda, that it is subject to
anti British broadcasts of the Cairo
radio, that considerable number
of Egyptian schoolteachers are at
work throughout the country and
that Egypt is providing generous
ly for Somai youths to study in
Cairo.
In addition, there is open specu-
lation about propaganda activities
for his own country of Renal Ed
dine Salah - Egypt's appointee
to the three-man United Nations
Council advising the Italian adj
ministration in Somalia, capital of
Mog'adiscio.
Hamiltic Somali people are
spread over French Somaliland,
British Somaliland, the trust terri
tory of Somalia, parts of Ethiopia,
and Throughout northern Kenya.
But to nomadic warning Somalis,
the boundaries mean little, and it
is easy to conceive of self-rule in
Italian Somalia touching off ma
tionalistic drive for autonomous
"Greater Somalia," enveloping all
the diverse areas they now inhabit.
Indeed, there already are indi-
cations of such trend, Leaders
in British Somaliland sounded out
the British Government earlier this
year on the prospects of some form
of merger with Italian Somalia.
Youth League Impressive
Meanwhile, Greater Somalia is
the goal of the Somali Youth
League which at Italian Somalia's
first parliamentary elections this
year won 43 of the 70 seats. So
vehement do the British consider
the Youth League that they banned
it in Kenya as subversive long be-
fore the Mau Mau outbreak. Sew
eral of it's leaders still are I'M
prisoned.
British diplomats viewing the
long border which their colony of
Kenya has with Somalia are in
creasingly anxious about the course
which nationalistic aspirations So
malls may direct. Of the $780,
600 of them, the greatest number
about 100000 - are in Italian
Somalia. Strict watch is being
kept in Kenya on channels OF
Somalia political thought.
