By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, April 1.—If Presi- dent Hoover's Reconstruction Corpo- ration works as well es did the law of Emperor Tiberius in the great depres- sion of 33 AD., then it will work very well, indeed, say Dr. Kenneth Scott. professor of classics at Western Reserve University, and Dr. Robert Samuel Rogers. also of that institution. Tacitus, Suetonius and Dio Cassius, ancient historians of the Roman Em- pire, do not give all the details econo- mists of today would like, but Dr. Scott outlined the situation 1,900 years ago as_something like this Bankers and capitalists had been in- vesting money at rates of interest which violated 2n obsolete law promulgated three-quarters of a century before by Julius Caesar which limited interest to a low rate. Borrowed Too Much. The law also sought to create an arti- ficial demand for real estate by requi ing financiers to have perhips two- thirds of ti capital invested in land. Many debtors had borrowed too much and in an effort to ease their position began accusing creditors of violating the Julian law. A magistrate referred the matter to the Senate and the Senators, in a panic because they also were concerned, ap- pealed to the Emperor, who gave all creditors just 18 months in which to bring their investments into conformity with the Julian law. The bankers thus called all their loans, and such money as they received they "hoarded to keep their position liquid. They also avoided making new lo:ns because for every loan they had to make an investment in land and the real estate market was glutted. with values falling from sales by debtors trying to me=t their obligations. Emperor's Friend Kills Self. Nerva, a friend of the Emperor, cried out at the “loss of confidence and finan- cial confusion” and committed suicide. Greatly aroused, the Emperor offered a relief measure similar to President Hoover'’s. He made available from the | imperial treasury an amount equivalent | to between $4,000,000 and $5.000,000 | (but much more than that then in ac- tual purchasing power), and appointed a senatorial commission to distribute it to banks. The banks loaned it for three years without interest, each bor- rower giving security in land double the amount borrowed. By this means,” says Tacitus, was restored and gradually lenders also came forward. P.-T.A.TO HEAR DELEGATE Maryland Woman ‘credit private Legislator to Give Address in Sandy Spring.
