Following is the text of President Hoover’s announcement that he would ask Congress to establish a system of home loan discount banks to relieve banking institutions dealing in these z."cufltlel and to speed home build- g: *I shall propose to Congress the es- tablishment of a system of home loan discount banks for four purposes: “1. For the present emergency pur- pose of relieving the financial strains upon sound building and loan associa- tions. savings bahks, deposit banks and farm loan banks that have been giving credit through the medium of small mortgage loans upon urban and farm properties used for homes. Thereby to relieve pressures upon home and farm owners, “2.

Its revival would provide for employment in the most vital way. As a people we need at all times the en- couragament of home ownership, and i e part of such action is only possible through an opportunity to ob- tain long-term loans payable in install- ments. It is urgently important, there- fore, that'we provide some method for b:ltnmn: into continuing and steady action the .great facilities of such ol these great national and local loaning concerns as have been under pressurc and should provide against such diffi- cultdes in the future. “The farm mortgage situation pre- sents mlfiy difficulties to which this plan would give ald. “I have consulted with representa- tives of the .various groups granting credit on mo; e loans for the home and farm as ~a8 Government offi- cigls and other, economic agencies, and as a practical” solution from the va- rious needs and the varioustideas ad- vanced I proposg’ the following general p&nclpk& for ghe creation of an insti- tutionr fo such purpose: . “(a)..

Limited to Farm and Urban Property. “(d) Building and loan associations, savings banks, deposit banks, farm loan banks, etc, may become members of the system after they have satisfled the conditions of qualifications and eligibil- ity t;ut may be fixed by the Federal rd. “(e) The mortgage loans eligible for collateral shall not exceed $18,000 each 2nd shall be limited to urban and farm property used for home purposes. “(f) The maximum amount to bc advanced against the mortgage col- lateral not to exceed more than 50 per cent of the unpaid balance on un- amortized or short term mortgage loans and not more than 60 per cent of the unpaid balance of amortized long term mortgages, and no advance to be made on mortgages in cefault. Such loans are to be made on the basis that there are sound appraisals of | the property upon which such mort- gages have been made. In other | words, ‘given sound appraisals there {will 'be advanced in the case. of short term or unamortized loans 25 pe: cent of the appraisal and in case of amortized long term loans, 30 per cen' of the appraised value of the property “(g) The discount banks as their needs require from time to time to issue bonds or short-term notes to in- vestors to an amount not to exceed in the aggregate 12 times the capital of the issuing bank. The bonds of these discount banks would be thus secured by the obligations of the borrowing in- stitutions, the mortgages deposited as collateral against such obligations and the capital of the discount banks These bonds to be acceptable for se- curity for government and postal de- posits. The result would be a bond of high grade as to quality and security. *(h) If the aggregate initial capita’ of the discount banks should in the beginning be fixed at $150,000,000 i. would be possible for the 12 banks tc finance approximately something ovel $1,800,000,000 of advance to the bor- rowing institutions, which could be further expanded by increase in thelr capital. Subject to Congress Action, “(1) It is proposed to find the initial capital stock for the discount banks in much the same way, in far as is agpnclhle, as the capital found for the Federal Reserve Banks—that s, that an organization committee in eack district should first offer the capital tc the institutions which would par- ticipate in the service of the bank. And as was provided in respect to the Feds eral Reserve Banks, if the initial cap- ital is not whou{ed!,hus provided, 1t should be subscril by the Federal Government; and further somewhat as was provided in the case of the Federa Land Banks, other institutions using the facilities of the discount bank: should be required to purchase from time to time from the Government some proportionate amount of its holdin3: of stock if there be any.

NEW YORK, November 14 (#).—The system of home loan dircount . banks proposed by Fresident Hoover might wserve as a pillar ol strength to the Na- tion's banking ~v.tem, in the opinion % of Wall Street benkers who discussed ! the suggestion tuday. The need of a riortgage discount sys- tem has long been felt in this country, in the opinion of proponents of the Plan, who poin: out that mortgages against grl\‘azr homes have provided one of the chicl forms of investment for small bangs throughout the coun- ¢ry, but while u.trinsically sound, these mortgages are dificult to turn quickly fnto cash in times of emergency.

The plot is said to have besn moti- vated by dissatisfaction among the younger element cf the army, with which a ceftain younger reactionary civilian element ‘was in sympathy, over the “weak” policy of the government with regard to Manchuria. This group advocated a strong policy and for that purpose desired the establishment of a military dictatorship. Count Makino, a delegate to the Ver- sailles peace conference and known to have exerted his influence in favor of a moderate policy, was marked for assas- sination, as was also Baron Shidehara, wn as the ex- ponent of moderation, and Premier Wakatsuki, head of the cabinet and re- garded as mainiy responsible for the government's . policy.

That treaty, strongly opposed on technical grounds by Japanese naval leaders, was signed by Baron Wakatsuki as head of the Japanese dclegation to the naval conference. He was interested, chiefly, not in the technical aspects of the pact, but in its advantages to Japan inter- nationally—its potentialities in pro- moting more iriendly relations with other nat In defending the treaty before the Japanese people, Baron Wakatsukl stressed the importance of peace and declaced: “Japan's military iicy has long been and still is to re- in sufficient strength to preserve peace in the Far East against foreign ion, but not sufficient to consti- tute a menace to any foreign power.” In this action and this assertion the present Premier rhaps sowed the seeds of conflict with the extreme na- tionalist and militarist elements in his country, and his persistent of moderation and rationaliization since ly has alienated still more.

Whatever misunderstandings of our true position were thus caused have now passed. Today there is not a power in the world but what is seeking our good-will and support of its own par- ticular aims. The rest of the world, therefore, will watch closgly when Si- gnor Grandi meets Mr. Stimson and President Hoover next week. Above all Signor Grandi’s visit will be viewed as a test of the real mean- ing_of the recent Hoover-Laval talks, regarding which there is much differ- ence of opinion in Europe. “The famous freedom of action, writes the newspaper La Stampa of Turin, “which President Hoover left to M. Laval is really merely freedom to stand alone against the compact bloc composed of Germany, the United States, Italy and Great Britain.” But Le Journal de Geneve declares, “1f the Italian foreign minister is going to Washington with the intention to underscore French popularity over there, he will serve neither his country nor Europe.” Germany, say today's headlines, will wait to see the result of Sig. Grandi's trip to Washington bofore going fur- ther with France in the reparations questions. [ As for the French Natlonalists, who form the strongest element in M: Laval's majority, they are telling any one who cares to listen to them that if the United States, following Sig. Grand’s visit, again tries to bring pres- sure on France to accept naval parity with Italy, that will prove M. Lavals voyage to Washington as having ac- complished absolutely nothing. Sympathy and Aid Wanted. ‘What Italy now wants from the United States seems to be exactly what France wants, namely, our diplomatic sympathy and aid. In return for this Ttaly apparently is willing to act as our agent. It is believed everywhere In Europe that Italy in proposing a year's arma- ment holiday at the recent assembly of the League of Nations already substi- tuted for the United States this way, in accordance with the agreement reached by Mr. Stimson and Premier Benito Mussolini in Rome last Summer. The Italian position is thus explained by the Rome correspondent of the Lon- don Times: ““The persistence of the world eco- nomic crisis and of the political and monetary difficulties of Great Britain and Germany leave the Italians face to face with the French. The struggle for supremacy between the two coun- tries 18 s0 unequal in wealth and re- sources that it cannot be envisaged with equanimity by the Italians. Italy has thus every interest to conciliate American sympathies and to deplore the competition in armaments, whose cost is already too high for her.” Water Power and Labor. “Italy, as all European statesmen realize, is a thickly populated country, with plenty of water power and cheap labor, but poor in natural resources and in agriculture; surrounded on three sides by the sea and shut off from the rest of Europe, on the other side by the Alps, and dependent upon France or Germany for coal and iron ?nd npon Russia or Great Britain or oll. m" “t'ebt lmnuued, howeu;.. by ancien d ity energies as: well as by the oum.‘flldfl:‘ qualities of its people and the abilities of its lead- ers to a more important place in the world than it has recently occupled.

The Navy never intended to build the fieet up to the London treaty limits by the time that pact expires in 1936, Admiral William V. Pratt, chief of naval operations, asserted yesterday in ex- plaining that President Hoover's reduced budget plan means a substantial num- ber of vessels will be placed in reserve. “Certainly not; we.never intended that it should be,” was the admiral's reply when asked if the Navy could be built up to treaty tonnage by 1936. “Why, no right thinking American naval officer would want such a thing. We are suffering now from having rushed construction all at one time so that our ships beccme over age all at once,” he added. Treaty Shortage Seen. The British fleet is substantially np to the treaty limit. The United States fleet, at the present rate of construc- tion, will be 250,000 tons short of rr- ity in effective under age ships by July, “What I want to find is the eventual strength at which the fleet will be fixed and then build steadily up to it, replac- ing each year lew vessels 50 that we shall alwi ve a large number of modern ships,” Pratt said. Other treaties mav alter the Amer- jcan tonnage, the admiral explained, but in any case he regarded it essential to get construction on a steady base to g0 on unchanged year after year, at a speed that will meet replacement needs in every category of combatant vessels. It might take 15 years of slow building to reach this point, he said. Silent on Building.
