BACKGROUND— The Reconstruction Finance Corp. represents one of the Hoover administration attempts to offset the depression through Gov= ernment assistance. It was con- tinued in operation when Roose= velt became President. Theory of agency was that a re- volving fund of Federal money would be made available with loans at reasonable rates then ad- vanced to business enterprises. This policy has been carried out during past four years, with many railroads, banks and business in- stitutions of other types receiving aid. By the Associated Press. Hoping for beneficial effects all down the line of business indebtedness, the Reconstruction Finance Corp. to- day is placing in operation a lowered schedule of interest rates. ‘The decreases, ranging up to 1 per Chairman Jesse H. Jones, who said In addition, he said, the Treasury now was able to borrow “at very low rates” and this had enabled that de- partment to cut its rate to the corporation from 23 to 24 per cent. Jones said this rate “is still sub- stantially above the cost of money to the Treasury on maturities of less than 10 years, within which time our loans should be liquidated.” The reductions in rates to lending aerial, temperatures.

To industrial enterprises—from 5 to a flexible rate ranging between 4 and 5, depending “upon the character of the loan and the circumstances of the borrower.” On real estate loans advanced by the R. F. C. Mortgage Co.—from 5 to a flexible rate ranging between 4 and 5. To the Commodity Credit Corp.— from 3 to 2%;, thus enabling the cor- poration to cut rates to its borrowers. To insurance companies, mortgage loan companies, credit unions, live stock and agricultural credit corpora- tions, joint stock land banks, flood, earthquake and other catastrophe loahs—from 4 to 3%.
