tion, Professor Ratcliff attributed tc
efear on the part of business that the
government is in competition with
them, f
"This fear is unfounded," he
claimed. "It has been asserted by
many administration officials that
the government is in the building
business only until private initiative
can prove how efficient it is in the
low housing line." Until now, he
said, business has been noticeably de-
ficient here.
Under the present setup to finance
home building, t h e prospective
builder or home owner goes to his
private bank which issues a mortgage
to him (step 1) after the Federa]
Housing Administration, satisfied
that the investment is warranted and
safe, endorses and insures it (step 2)
The bank, if it seeks cash, takes the
mortgage to the National Mortgage
Association, a private organization
under government regulation, which
buys the mortgage and, in turn, issues
bonds based on them (step 3).
The proposed legislation would af-
fect step 1 by increasing the mort-
gage coverage and the total valua-
tion of the home; step 2 by allowing
the FHA extended privileges of insur-
ing larger mortgages, particularly
from limited dividend corporations,
and the reduction of the basic in-
terest rate and service charge on in-
sured loans; step 3 by decreasing the
capital requirements of the associa-
tions as mentioned.

Cooperatives are most influencial
in Sweden, she said, where they serve
from 30 to 50 per cent of the popula-
tion. The Swedish people believe
that cooperation rests on true de-
mocracy and democracy on eduoa-
tion, and the movement in that coun-
try entails extensive educationaL
campaigns, she said.
The Finnish and Bohemian set-
tlers were largely responsible for the
growth of the cooperative movement
in this country, as they carried to
America the ideas learned in their
native lands, H. L. Pickerell, founder
of the boys' cooperative here, told
the group.

Germany, Italy and Japan don't declare wars--but they fight them.
Why do they keep these wars "unofficial"? And why are they fought?
To get raw materials? Colonies? To relieve population pressure? John
Gunther, famed correspondent whose book "Inside Europe" was
banned recently by the Nazis, explodes these alibis, and tells you the
real reason for these wars of conquest waged by the "Have Not" nations.
