2 CO-OPERATIVE DIVISION A MESSAGE F. H. A. OFFERS NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION FUNDS. Outstanding development in the Oregon Better Housing Program was the announcement this week that the First National Bank of Portland, with resources in excess of $60,000,- 000 and branches in ten Oregon communities outside of Portland, will cooperate with the Federal Housing Administration by making its funds available to property own ers for new home construction un- der Title II, the Mutual Mortgage Insurance Plan of the National Housing Act. This action is regarded by E. J. Griffith, State Director of the Fed- eral Housing Administration, as a most important contribution to the nation-wide effort which is being made to expand the functioning of Title II, upon which the Adminis tration is depending, in large mea sure, to put timid private capital back into circulation and to restore the building trades and associated industries to pre-depression stabili ty, thereby providing employment for many of the Nation's Idle work ers of whom, It is estimated, more than a third are without employ ment because or the slowing down of building activities. It is the hope of director Griffith that the example set by the First •National and by other big financial institutions throughout the country, notably the Guaranty Trust Compa ny of New York and Bank of Amer ica, San Francisco, will encourage other Oregon banks to lend similar support to the Better Housing Pro gram, thus extending to every com munity within the State the oppor tunity to participate in a great na tional movement which has as its purpose the speeding of recovery through removal of the "key log” In the credit jam so that norma! credit will flow again in amounts adequate to meet all legitimate needs. PAGE THREP THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON. THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1935 TO EVERY MEMBER. THE SURE WAY IS THE QUICK WAY. pressed the impatient spirit. The nearest these people came to a so lution was to urge that the govern ment should pour out money to em ploy the needy and feed the hungry It is the same old idea that prevailed in Rome over a thousand years ago and solved no problem. In Rochdale, England, ninet years ago, the impatient souls sal the same thing. Like those of tc day, they wanted somebody else tr do something to relieve their dis tress. They said, "Cooperation i too slow.” But the Rochdale co-op eratlve pioneers went on and start ed a little business with $1 10. r has spread into every corner of the world. In England alone its capi tal has grown to <500,000,000 an’ its institutions are the largest in th land. The impatient consumers looked at the great flour mills of the capi- talista and said. "Co-operation is toe slow, we must get these mills by some quick method.” The quid method has had ninety years to win the flour mills for the people, but it has not yet succeeded. The patient co-operators, despite the dire predic tions of the economic professors ol Oxford and Cambridge, went on witl their little investments in their lit tle societies. Now they own the largest flou mills in the British Empire—not lar ger than any mills of ninety yean .ago but larger than any other mill of today. The Swedish co-operator accomplished the same result in on' fourth the time. The ownership of the best and largest flour mills ir the country by the Swedish co-oper ative consumers was. neither cata clysmlc nor unexpected; it is result of planned and deliberate effort When the impatient Swiss had spent thirty years trying to get a bill passed by the Parliament to nation alize the meat business, the Swis Co-operative Union in the course o' one year decided to make itself the owner of the beet trust, and in that same year made itself the owner of the beef trust. Co-operation is not the slow method; it is the fast meth- od. The impatient, who think they know a quicker’way, come and have their little hour and pass away. The best run coal mines in Great Britain, the largest bakeries in hun dreds of cities, factories, mills, steamship lines, houses and villages, streets and parks, fire departments banking and insurance, recreations, hospitals and clinics have all been acquired by the co-operative consu mers while impatient souls have vo ted for public ownership, asked the government to take over industries, planned for labor’s conquest of fac tories and got nothing for their pains. A hundred examples in the field of big business could be given to show that the co-operative method has succeeded by its sure proceedure of attack upon the ownership of the sources of supply where hasty meth ods have failed. If the people of the United States wanted themselves to own the coal mines and the rail roads and the steel trust, indepen dent of the government, they could set on foot the education and the planning that would give them just that result. If, "Without vision the people perish,” then with vision they survive. Used Cars WHO is WHO in PENDLETON 1933 Plymouth Deluxe Sedan HYATT and BRAWN 1931 Chev. Coach 1930 Ford Roadster By James Peter Warbasse. In the Constitution of our Govern ment, in the utterances of our found ers, and in the whole history of the United States as a political system, there is no trace of any economic ideal excepting that of competition for profit getting. The shrewdest business men were to have the big winnings. Wealth was to be devel oped in their hands; and the idea that came the neareet to a humane thought was that, if there was much wealth at the top, some of it would trickle down among the people. The race was to the swift. As to the hindmost, the devil took them. On this basis, this country was built, made its fortunes, waged its wars, and suffered at periodic intervals its PHONE 571 moments of doubt. The French writer who said, "The HERMISTON, OREGON United States is the only country that has gone from barbarism to de cay without paasing through a stage of civilization,” had reference to the price we paid for our utter devotion to profit getting as both a means and an object of life.
