The National Housing Act is the Nation’s challenge to the forses of depression which have left ip their wake lagging construction and cap ital-goods industries. Explaining the objectives of this highly important legislation today. J. A. Home chairman cf the Better Housing Campaign Committee point ed out that the prorgam is more than a plan to revive a single in dustry. "It is", he said, "a broad recovery measu-" regarded as one of the most far-reaching in importance that has been enacted by Congress since the National Recovery Act." "It is a plan to remove the larg est remaining obstacle in the way of full recovery” Mr. Home declared, “cne which is destined to restore to useful private enterprise the largest group of workers still un employed." "No single man or Industry pro posed the National HoaBr»r.g Act. It is the work of a group of leading business men, among them the heads of the largest commercial organiza tions. banks, and insurance com panies. and representatives of im portant manufacturing and trading interests.” “Early last winter these men be came concerned with the slow prog ress toward recovery of certain basic industries. They found that whereas consumer goods and made a substantial come-back since the bank holiday of 1933. there were other industries, principally those dealing in heavy or durable goods, mat were falling far behind. The most important of these was the construction industry." It was found ' that new home building had drop ped nearly 90 per cent from the 1926- 29 level, and that nearly one-third of all families then on relief rolls were families of workers normally engaged in building. It was to solve this situation that the National Housing Act became law.” Tlie Federal Government, through the Housing Administration, will in sure lending agencies against 100 oer cent of all losses, provided the total t.f such losses does not exceed 20 per cent of the aggregated amount cf funds advanced for property Im provements. This insurance is vir tually an ironclad guarantee of pro tection for the financial institutions, since the highest known loss ratio on similar types of loans has not ex ceeded 3 per cent. Experts in this field have expressed the opinion that it is hardly conceivable that these credits, extended by prudent institu tions. could result in losses greatly exceeding this previous experience. The insurance, they agree, is tanta mount to a complete guarantee for financial institutions. That is, if a lending agency acquires notes ag gregating a total volume of $100.- 000. it will be insured against 100 per cent of loss on all items up to total aggregate losses of $20,000. E°sst < of thi s proportion have never keen approached in America on this type of business, even in the worst depression years. WOMAN HELD ON MURDERCHARGE Lather Midd«.
