England plans government backed building society loans
The plan contemplates building societies funding cheap-rent homes for working men with up to 90 percent of the value financed. Government and local authorities would guarantee 20 percent of loans against loss. Advances run 30 years at Ay percent in London and the south and 4 percent elsewhere as surplus funds await investment. Lower costs of labor and materials aid the initiative, which Britain hopes may inform U S slum relief efforts.

Washington reports on the 1930s income tax scene, detailing how losses and capital gains affected tax obligations. The piece examines the Morgan partners case and broader concerns over tax avoidance, noting that many with high incomes reduced liability via reported losses while the treasury profited from gains and depreciation, with examples spanning real estate, stocks, and installment plans. It discusses the impact on workers and the depression era economy, and the difficulty for average taxpayers to meet tax obligations as losses and carryovers shaped net incomes.
