C. James, Head of Building As- sociations’ Council for District, Makes Report. Pointing out that a man who owns his own home probably will be a zood citizen, C. Clinton James, president of the Building Asso ns' Council for the District of Columbia, today is- sued a statement showing what build- ing associations in the District are doing to encourage home owning and complete figures are mnot lable, it is estimated that the to- ts of building assoclations in Washington will be more than $28,- 000,000, he announced. “The building associations through- out the country are teaching thrift |and trying to educate the public to own their own homes.” Mr. James stated. “The motto of the United States League of Local Building and Loan Associations is ‘The American Home—the Safeguard of American i Liberties.’ | “The building associations have as- sisted very largely in solving the housing question by assisting persons of limited means to finance the buy- ing of their home, but the demand for loans has been much greater than the funds available,” it is asserted. “While we have $28,000,000 in assets in the District of Columbia and about 45,000 members of building associa- tions, we ought to have twice as much money to take care of the demands for loans on real estate” Mr. James concluded. TUSKEGEE URGES NEGRO TO GROW FOODSTUFFS Economy Policy in Institution’s Program—Law Should Punish Lawbreakers. EE INSTITUTE, Ala., Janu- ar; n annual session here, the i thirtieth Tuskegee negro conference, founded by the late Booker T. Wash- ington, adopted a declaration of pol- icy for the race which, among other things, urges negro tenant farmers to grow their own foodstuffs, practice economy, and thus be able to get a[lbolng with as small advances as pos- sible. “The question of law and order is one of the most important things which concerns the negro in the south,” the policy declaration says. “As stated in our declaration of years 2go, ithis conference asks for negroes only what the courts above all agencies should give—impartial justice, If | negroes commit crimes, let them be punished by the courts and not by mobs. ¢ * ¢ It is largely the lack of | protection under the law that is driv- ing many negroes out of the rural districts.” The conference commends to the negro race the movement now going on to establish better racial relations, and the work of the iater-racial com- mittee is heartily indorsed, with a request that inter-racial Sunday, January 23, be observed.
