He asked that the insurable lirhit in the legislation be raised from 80 percent of the appraised value to 90 percent in the case of loans to owner-occupants where the appraised xalue of the property not exceed $6,000. He recommended a reduction in the interest rate of five pereent plus the service cl . permitted of from one cent to a net interest rate of not more existing does half to one p than five p In dollars 1id cents this is what the President’s housing recommendat A person building a $6,000 home would be able to a down payment of only $600 and monthly pay- of $36.30 for 20 years, compared with the present down payment of $1.200 payments of $34.84 month for 20 years.

What the President apparently is trying to do is make the great majority of the American people who comparatively low wages and sal- aries home owners. He realizes that unless encour- aged and offered inducements they will never be able to save enough money to build a home outright and pay for it. He knows that private interest rates which in the past have soared to 18 and 20 percent will never make Americans a nation of home owners because it isn’t in the cards. And unless we get back to becoming a nation of home builders as we were in the early days of our great growth as a new country we will lose the very thing which made us a virile, independent and powerful nation. are working for One thing about this cold weather, fact that Christmas is just about here it emphasizes the A panhandler on the streets of Chicago wears a gardenia.
