LOAN POLICY, REPORT SHOWS Banks and Railroads Get 90 Per Cent of, Funds; 10 Per Cent for Relief | Since Roosevelt has taken office, the Reconstruction Finance Corpora- | tion has loaned $23%,195,749 of the people's money. Of this amount only 532,000,000 was loaned for relief. The rest went to banks, railroads and other business enterprises. It will be remembered that Roosevelt attacked Hoover's use of the R. F. C. to assist mainly big business. It is now obvious that there has been | no change whatever in the policies of the BR. F. C. under Roosevelt. _ Banks and railroads got $131,045,000, The R. F. C., under the provisions of the Emergency Bank Act, invested $13,682,000 in the direct purchases of preferred stock in bankrupt banks. Mortgage loan companies got $4,000,000, insurance companies $6,297,000, and regional agricultural credit corpora- | J J} tions 821,635,000. ; | "OF the more than §2,000,000,000 loaned by the R, F. C, since its creation, | only 10 per cent has been repaid to date, It is now obvious that hundreds of millions will never be repaid, since many of the borrowers have gone | into bankruptcy. Investigation has also disclosed that the security for other hundreds of millions handed out in loans has depreciated so greatly in value, that it is doubtful if the borrowers will ever be able to repay, or if the government | will ever get its money back, The billions of the B. F. C. are taken ulti- | mately from the people since the money comes from the United States Treasury. The R. F. C. has been used both by Hoover and Roosevelt to make good the losses of investors, bankers, an. bondholders. 30 Hr.

C., May 2—In a letter to the Trade Union Unity League today, Frances Perkins, U. S.

Rep- unions and pf the T.U.U.C. are ex- pected to be present at the confer- ence.

The vets are from the Camp B. ushka, encampment, W., Legion, H L. by freight, hitch hiking, trucks, etc. The Chi- cago contingent is going out of its| way to join the Indianapolis con- tingent of over 500 that has been mobilized by the B.E.F. command- er there. This is being done at the request of the commander. The march is called by the Vet- | erns’ National Liaison Committee, embracing posts of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Workers Ex-service- men’s League and other veterans’ organizations. More Than Bonus Demands The new march now started to is enlisting broader numbers than were involved in the first bonus march, and includes not only veterans of the world war } who fight for the back pay the government owes them, but vet- erans of all wars who are fighting against the fierce attacks of the Roosevelt administration Pension relief, There are also vet-| Spesish-American | erans of the war, the Philippine insurrection, the Boxer rising.

After a faniare of publicity on the 30-hour bill, the Roosevelt adminis- tration has decided to shelve the stag- ger measure during this session of Congreg,, The publicity attendant on the bi. was. the typical Roosevelt demagogy, designed to deceive masses of employed and unemployed work- ers that the unemployment situation would be “relieved.” In ordering the bill muffed, Roosevelt declared that he is for the 30-hour stagger bill (to divide work and cut wages) in prin- ciple but that it must be revised to NEW YORK.—A special meeting of the Scottsboro case victims in jail boro case, the Rey.

Ria hy Puerto Rico Vets Protest SAN JUAN, P. R.—The American | Legion posts of Puerto Rico are up in arms against the 50 per cent pension cut, They are demanding United Action in no uncertain terms. The officials are playing the same double- crossing game as they do in this country, According to the Legion mis- leaders of Puerto Rico the 50 per cent pension cut is an “oversight.” An oversight? ‘Yes, on the part of the officials, But the rank and file don’t | think so, net by a damn sight! They jare forcing a special conference to | abolish this oversight. This special cut for the veterans of Puerto Rico was put through under the classifi- cation for residents in foreign coun- tries. Evidently Uncle Sam doesn’t think much of his possessions. If the Legion leaders had head and studied the “Economy Bill” they would haye orn this, But such official traitors, if | they do read these things trp to keep them quiet. This is a piece with the American Legion leaders who for a year and a half kept telling the public that the vets didn’t want the bonus. Well, the vets of Puerto Rico like the veis of the United States are no longer sleeping or following the lying, hyocritical Legion officials. They are demanding United Action against the “New (dirty) Deal.” ‘The island has further troubles in connection with the disabled. Two hundred fifty disabled vets face ‘eviction from the hospitals. , The | Veterans Bureau has no hospital on the {sland and the contracts with pri- vate hospitals are to be cut.

DOLLAR AT LEVEL OF 19TH CENTURY Inflation Bill Rushed by House The dollar continued to fall sharply on foreign exchanges, reaching the lowest level since 1879.

The British have been successful so | far in exercising control of the move~ ments of the pound, stopping its ad- | Vance whenever the pound approached , the $4 level. It is now openly ad- | mitted that the decision of Roosevelt to let the dollar depreciate on the | foreign exchanges and the decision of the British government to resist any runaway rise in sterling, has created | what is spoken of now as a “currency war” between the two powers.
