after having advanced something over $3,000,000,000 to more than a million home owners, and is now engaged in recovering this money from the borrowers, as the payments of principal and interest, at the rate of 3 per cent per annum, fall due. The Federal Housing Administration is a permanent agency, created by Congress in 1931 to encourage private residential construction. The FHA it not a lending agency, but a mortgage insurance agency. Anyone who wants to build a home, for example, goes to a bank and borrows up to 80 per cent of the appraised value of the property, at a maximum annual interest and service charge of 5'J per cent, and repays the bank in monthly amounts, which include insurance, taxes and interest, as well as a part of the principal. The FHA appraises the property, watches the process of construction to see that it i up to a fixed standard, and insures tht bank against loss on its mortgage in the event that the mortgagor fails in his payments.

Chairman Committee of Archery Hunting. Michigan Arrheia He Mut Go Further THE first reaction to President Roosevelt's special mesae to Congress on the housing question have been friendly, but not especially enthusiastic. Thit it quite understandable. What the President propose ii desirable far the im it concerned. But the method he urge, though much more substantial and practical than many New Deal idea fail to meet the main issue that must be faced before sound general national recovery comet.

We do not mean that Mr. Roosevelt is wrong when he says that the construction industry if speeded up can put idle funds to work and so help circulation of the Nation's money supply and that this in turn will increase National income, reduce unemployment nd contribute toward balancing the budget. But the measures Mr. Roosevelt proposes, to bring about remedial large scale production nd increase the buying power of the consumer, are insufficient. The big thing the people of America, producers, workers and consumers alike need is pot more "aid" from Government but a clear field and a fair chance to go ahead on their own.

If Mr. Roosevelt wants to help surely and effectively, he must first of all actively urge immediate repeal of destructive and ruinous tax laws, such as the undistributed profits tax. he must order Federal expense slashed to the bone: he must bajance the Federal budget, not by "borrowing" social security funds, but honestly and genuinely. He must curb his socialistic inclinations and socialistic friends, and take the Government out of competition with private business. There must be no more "TVAs." He must if he can quiet the labor unrest he has fomented.

He must end a big cause of national uncertainty and fear by showing himself content to give up his dictatorial emergency powers. He must create confidence in the general methods and purposes of his Administration. The present CnrRress hat befm it no lrt than 107 diflertnt proposals tor amending the Constitution.

A Day of Reckoning Ahead A SURVEY just published by Dun Bradstreet shows that the gross bonded indebtedness of the 4S State Government in thi Country has increased from $2,372,041,765 in 1930 to $3,184,467,709 in 1937. This increase of 34 25 per cent in State debts is entirely apart from the taxes which the people have paid to run their State Gov-ernments since 1930. The taxes have been paid and may be forgotten.

The increase in State debts represents borrowed money, which must be repaid sometiait by means of future taxes, and for that reason cannot be forgotten.

In this manner they had not proceeded far when they met a company of women and children, "Why you laity old fellow'." cried several tongues at once, "how can you rid upon the beaat while your poor little lad there can hardly keep pace beside of you."
