BUY A HOME: Home owners who have been discouraged in the last year or two by lhe shrinkage of real estate values end the difficulty of obtaining or renewing bank credit on their propi rty may feel better after reading this statement from A. C. Van Den Bossche. head of the construction division for a big mail order house. In borrowing power, he maintains, the home shows up well compared with more liquid forms of security. If home loans have been slow anti difficult, so have foreclosures. Homeowners have lost far less of their savings, from shrinkage of values, than have the owners of almost any stocks and bonds. The owner of an equity in a home does got find it wiped out by additional ’margin" calls every time the stock

market has an emotional or politicatvipset. The very lack o£ liquidity—4(s slowmoving quality — protect* it. Those who are paying for homes on the amortized mortgage plan generally have little difficulty in readjusting their current payments to tide them over until conditions improve. There is relatively far less difference between 1929 and 1932 residential price levels,” this authority reminds us. “than between 1929 and 193i„>alues of more liquid forms of security. The owner of the average Jy?me borrows up to 65 per cent on S' valuation which has shrunk , comparatively little from his orig-inal-Investment. The borrower on stock* and bonds offers a security I the—borrowing power of which in irrosC instances has shrunk to a I leiiiT below its actual value." < XTflr> over, he argues logically enough, an upward turn in business will benefit the home owner first, because of the accumulated shortage in housing.

Washington: Symbol Os Patriotism By H. W. CHASE President, University of Illinois —

Washington has come to stand for us primarily as a symbol of patriotism What does it mean to be a patriot in the year nineteen hundred thirty-two? It certainly I does not mean to do anti to think in detail what Washington did and thought. One expression of his patriotism was a war with England. To us of today such a conflict would be one of the most fearful calamities that could befall civilized mankind. Another expression of his patriotism was that he led a revolution to over- , throw the organized government! under which he had grown up and | which he had served. But is there j ,j any thoughtful American citizen today who feels that a man who advocates the overthrow of our own form of government is a ( patriot? Rather do we regard him j as far from patriotism as one pole] is from the other. Washington's I patriotism, in an eighteenth cen-i tury world, cautioned his country-1 men against European entanglements. That oft-quoted warning, was not given to a twentieth-cen-tury audience. Our attitude toward Europe ought to be determined by the problems of our own genera tion. as. of course, it fundamentally is. If there is something of disillusionment and withdrawal about > our attitude toward Europe today. I it is. and ought to be. ffecause of 1 the experiences of our own generation. Washington's patriotism found expression in the government of, a republic which was frankly! aristocratic. We sometimes for-: get the profound change which has taken place in the character of our institutions since the day of I Washington. The rule in which | he and those about him believed was popular only in a restricted sense, with limited suffrage, and I

with the clear enough understand inc with the land own. i. the mer-ll chant, the tanker, and the pro-i fessional man. They believed in an aristocratic republic. It was not until that, great popular uprising that seated Andrew Jackson in the presidency, that our evolution toward a demo-' cratic republic really got under way. Our patriotism must, work with different elements from [ Washington's. He knew nothing, of melting pots, was familiar with] only one aspect of one race prob-j lem, bid never heard, of an indua-1 trial slum and had on'.y the vag-J uest notions of a real system ofj public education, had never heard ■ of organized crime gangs — and J would have been utterly shocked 11 at universal suffrage. • To be patriotic it is not neces- * sary that we should do and believe d iu detail what Washington did and 1 believed a century and a half ago. <i j Tne challenge that comes to us is v rather that we should cherish, that '■ we should work for, our America 8 as he cherished his. Here is our r country; here are its problems. It I is for us to work with these prob-,* lems in the spirit iu which he," worked with his -in a spirit of, | loyalty to the institutions we have! evolved through the epic of our I ■ history, in a spirit of intelligent i good will toward what lies about| ourselves. To do the just thing, the right thing, the fair thing. in| a spirit of devotion to a cause that; ’ is bigger than any individual, | i in a spirit of loyalty to the ideal) America that is a vision that must not fail amid all imperfection and confusion —that is the challenge 1 to our generation, as it is that of generations past and to come.
