It is reported that a drive will soon get under way for the enactment of a bill introduced by Senator Mead which will provide for the insurance by the Reconstruction 'Finance Corporation of loans to small business and industries. In 1935, during the early days of his first term in Congress, the writer, realizing that small businesses and indutsries are the backbone of our commercial life and that they were the "real" forgotten men, introduced a bill embracing a olan for industrial recovery which would have provided for the insurance by the government of loans by local banks to local industries. The bill .Sought to create a United States Industrial Loan Insurance Corporation for such purpose and had its inception from a survey made under the direction of Mr| Lester J. Norris of St. Charles, Illinois. It is to be hoped that before adjournment the Congress Will make some effort to aid small business and industry. After all, they are a highly important part of our industrial and business life. Devaluation of the Dollar It is rumored that the Administration is beginning to worry about the situation which exists relative to the legislation which twill J&ive to the President continued power to devalue the dollar. The bill passed the House over strong Republican objection and was referred to the Senate Banking ^Committee where at the present time it appears to be stymied. Unless the legislation becomes a law before July 1st, the President's power to devalue the dollar will expire.. ; " ' ^ * J *; V ,W-t o m e«*» rf Yearn A«i TWENTY YEARS AGO A very flue piece of rustic work in cement may be seen at the entrance of the sacristy at St. Mary's Catholic church.
