ECONOMIC
HIGHLIGHTS
Happenings That Affect the Din
ner Pails, Dividend Checks and
Tax Bills of Every Individual.—
National and International Prob
lems Inseparable from Local
Welfare.
When economists disagree, the
lay public is in for a puzzling time.
And economists who formerly saw
eye to eye are disagreeing with a
vengeance over the new money bill,
with its $2,000,000,000 stabilization
fund, international gold buillion
standard, and credit expansion fea
tures. There is no lack of well
known financial authorities to say it
is vital to recovery. Others say it
may be paving the way for the
greatest collapse of all.
At any rate, the Administration is
now working on the problem of
credit expansion for private busi
ness. The problem is especially im
posing, as during the next few
months the government will offer
some great bond issues to finance
continuance of the recovery pro
gram, and these will absorb much
of the money that is available for
lending. Credit is to be expanded,
if possible, to a degree sufficient to
offset this. Every effort will be
given to depreciating the dollar in
foreign exchange, and holding it at
a lower and more stable level. In
keeping with this the price of gold
was recently fixed at $35, in the
belief that it would send the franc
dollar exchange rate to about 6.63
cents, and the pound to above $5.10.
The immediate result was a disap
pointment—the London gold price
took a jump and the franc-dollar
and pound-dollar exchange became
still more unfavorable. The next
day, however, devaluation of the
dollar in foreign markets started.
There are two obvious ways to
expand credit. One is to create
more dollars and 2,000,000,000
were automatically created when
the dollar was fixed at the 59.06
point. The other is to make a given
number of dollars do more work.
Both ways are to be used. The two
billion new dollars are at the dis
posal of the treasury, and are to be
used for buying new gold, foreign
exchange or carrying on other trans
actions deemed advisable for peg
ging foreign exchange rates. When
they are so spent, according to the
theory, they go into the hands of
persons with bills to pay in this
country. The bills are paid, and
the dollars find their way into the
banks, inflating reserve balances,
which are now nearly a billion
dollars above the point required by
law. Critics of the money bill say
that the stabilization fund money
will make possible credit expansion
of from $12,000,000,000 to $40,-
000,000,000 —with the result that a
short boom will be followed by a
tremendous crash. Contrary to this
view, its friends are optimistic and
express confidence that matters will
work out to the benefit of the entire
country. Take your choice.
The country has been hearing talk
of a business boom for so long now
that it is inclined to be skeptical as
to whether or not such an animal ex
ists. According to the business and
financial periodicals, and the various
reports of fact-gathering organiza
tions, it does. It isn’t a very big
animal yet, but it can be seen, felt
and heard. All of the consumer in
dustries are finding themselves with
more orders than they’ve had for
years. “Industry’s industries,” such
as steel, which sell their products
to other businesses and not directly
to the consumer, aren’t doing so
well, but they’re moving upward.
Detroit, which saw the worst of
the depression, is seeing the best of
recovery. According to Time, this
is the first period in five years in
which car manufacturers can’t fill
their orders. In January Chrysler,
with the most unusual of all the new
stock cars, had 21,000 more men at
; work than last year. Ford opened
two additional assembly plants. Nash
estimated that it would deliver
more ears in the first quarter of
of this year than in all of last.
Cadillac reported deliveries 50 per
cent above last year. General Mo
tors faced 100,000 orders for Chev
rolet alone. Tire companies were
jubilant, with a Goodyear expert
predicting tire sales for 1934 would
reach the great total of 46,000,000
units.

charges appeared in the headlines.

Mortgage Lifted
On 1,102 Georgia
Homes By H. O. L. C.
(By Georgia Newspaper Alliance)
Homes of 1,102 Georgia families
have been saved from mortgage
foreclosures through the Home Own
ers’ Loan Corporation, a federal
agency which has released more
than $2,500,000 in bonds and cash
since its organization in June, 1933,
report of February 5 of Frank
A. Holden, state manager, has re
vealed.
Loans in the four Georgia dis
tricts have been as follows:
Atlanta district, 661 loans, sl,-
519,820.15; Savannah district, 171
loans, $365,723.67; Macon district,
130 loans, $328,002.07; Albany dis
trict, 140 loans, $287,330.81.
Most of the funds distributed have
been in the form of bonds issued
to mortgage holders, but a total of
$438,585.70 has been in cash, the
report showed.
“Although the Atlanta district
makes the other three look out of
proportion, it is due to the fact that
this district has in it about three
times the population of any other
district,” Mr. Holden explained.
“It has been a tremendous task
to create and train an organization
to cope with the enormous volume
of loan applications with which we
were flooded from the time we
opened our doors,” he pointed out,
“but these delays are gradually be
ing eliminated and Within a short
time we hope to be in position to
keep our transactions upon a basis
as nearly current as it is humanly
possible to achieve.”
The Home Owners Loan Corpora
tion has authority to issue two bil
lion dollars worth of bonds, run
ning 18 years with 4 per cent inter
est guaranteed by the United States
government. It will function for a
three-year period, ending on June
13, 1936.
