Reluctant Bankers The trend of the present discus-} sions is this: The banks are showing no sign of taking even a large proportion of the RFC fund of a billion dol- lars which the government has of- fered to lend them at 3 percent if, they will relend it a 5 percent to_ NRA members, The alternative is for business men in the local communities to set up “mortgage associations” to do the borrowing and relending to individuals, which the banks seem unwilling to do, It is foreseen that in time the’ RFC will have on its hands a larger number of insolvent “mort- gage associations.” It also will have millions of dollars’ worth of preferred stock in banks. In ad- dition, the government will have all sorts of other obligations ac-| quired through the various loan boards.
