The Order provided for the administration of the functions, powers, and duties of the Board, the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, and the United States Housing Corporation, formerly a part of the Federal Works Agency, in the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration. The Chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board was designated Commissioner of the new Administration, The offices of the other four Members of the Board were vacated. The creation of the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration was undertaken as one part of the larger reorganization and consolidation of 16 different housing agencies into the National Housing Agency, which is now charged with the general responsibility of coordinating and directing the housing activities of the Federal Government. The National Housing Agency consists of three principal constituent units, of which the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration is one. The remaining two are the Federal Housing Administration and the Federal Public Housing Authority. In this reorganization, the corporate entities of the Federal Home Loan Banks, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, and the Home Owners, Loan Corporation remain intact and their functions and purposes continue without change. Likewise, all outstanding obligations and contracts, orders, rules, regulations, permits, and privileges continue in effect, - 1 - ~LI~I.__-___L- - -Il~------ 1 ~-.---L- -~ IYI ---~---1- _1 1_ 1_1 1_ 111_~._ NOMMOMON ILrY-r --. .. .0 ".

As a measure of war-time economy, the current report has been reduced substantially in size and carries, therefore, no comparable survey section. Instead, the following pages will give only a brief resume of major developments during the 1942 fiscal year. Residential Construction The fiscal year 192 saw the first major break in the upward movement of the building cycle which had proceeded without serious inter ruption since the low point of 1933. During the twelve months ending June 30, 19L2, approximately 650,000 new dwelling units were provided by public and private capital in nonfarm areas, according to building permit data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This compares with almost 700,000 units for the preceding fiscal year, and represents a decline of seven percent* The growing scarcity of critical materials available for housing, the introduction of a housing priorities system in the fall of 1941, and finally the virtual cessation of all nonessential building after April 1942 when the War Production Board issued a "Stop-Construction # order, have been - 2- -AS=- reflected in a declining volume of residential construction since October 1941. Because the demands of the war place a steadily increasing strain on available supplies of both labor and materials used in the building of homes, it is probable that the present downward trend will continue for the duration.

S. Department of Labor. The Real Estate Market--Selected Trends On the whole, the real estate market continued to show a satisfactory recovery during the 1942 reporting period. real estate sales and transfers, 1941, The volume of particularly from July through December reached a new post-depression high. The decline in the volume of new residential construction during the last half of the fiscal year, however, was reflected to some extent in a slowing down of real estate sales activity. Increased demands for existing properties tended to counter-balance this trend and at the close of the reporting period, general market conditions represented a distinct improvement over the close of the previous reporting period. One of the strongest evidences of improving real estate market conditions was the continued steady decline in during the reporting period. the volume of foreclosures Each month saw foreclosures running from one fifth to one-sixth below the corresponding month of the preceding year. During the entire year, nonfarm real estate foreclosures totaled only 49,514 as compared with 68,432 a year previous, a reduction of almost 28 percento - 3 - Foreclosures during the current reporting period were well below total repossessions in 1926, the year generally considered the low point of the previous foreclosure cycle. Improvement in the general foreclosure picture was widespread throughout the country. Each of the Federal Home Loan Bank Districts and all of the States showed a lower number of foreclosures during the fiscal year 1942 than during the prior reporting period. The number of nonfarm real estate foreclosures during the last two fiscal years, by Federal Home Loan Bank Districts and by States, will be found in Exhibit 1. Real Estate Overhang The steady and uniform improvement in the volume of foreclosures accompanied by a rising volume of sales once more resulted in a very substantial reduction in the volume of real estate held by mortgage lending institutions. During the calendar year 1941, the latest twelve-month period for which figures are available, it is estimated that the book value of residential property owned by selected types of financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, commercial banks, life insurance companies, and the Home Owners' Loan Corporation, declined from $l,894,089,000* to $1,405,919,000, or almost 26 percent. Although the current volume of repossessed properties held by financial institutions in a few areas is still large enough to represent a liquidation problem of some significance, the current rate of disposition, coupled with the increasing necessity for a more intensive use of existing housing facilities in war industry localities, indicates that the real estate overhang is no longer a national problem of major importance. Revision of the preliminary figure of $1,863,879,000 given on page 27 of the Ninth Annual Report of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. -4- Savings and loan associations led other institutions in The net reduction in their repossessed property during 1941. insuttutions was $162,171,000, or 33 percent. savings banks declined $100,000,000, by all Life insurance companies Residential real estate held commercial banks at the end of 1941 amounted to $136,0000 a reduction of $56,000,000, period. holdings of these Real estate owned by mutual or 25 percent. show a drop of $108,330,000, or 22.9 percent. 0, representing or 29e5 percent, during the preceding twelve-month For the Home Ownerst Loan Corporation, $63,669,000, liquidating or 18,8 percent. the corresponding drop was Exhibit 2 contains data on residential real estate owned by selected financial institutions at the close of 1940 and 1941 Building Costs The wolesale price index of building materials, June 192 as copared Bureau of Labor Statistics, was 122.9 in the beginning of the reporting period. took place during the first In April and May, Most of the increase in half of the reporting period* when the index stood at 122.0, as reported by the th 1128 at this index After January 19 2, there was only a fractional upward movement. as a matter of fact, slight declines occurred as a result of the imposition of price ceilings on many building materials, The rise of home construction costs, up to the time further increases were arrested by the Office of Price Administration, is also reflected in the Federal Home Loan Bank Administrationts index of material and labor costs for constructing a standard six-room frame house in selected cities. six months from June to December 19U1, 112.4 tb 119.9. the Administrationts index rose from After January, a very slow but steady upward movement brought the index to 123~5 in June 192. Exhibit 3 shows the cost indices on a monthly basis for the last two fiscal years. During the - 5 - In past years, the index of labor costs in building the standard six-room frame house advanced more rapidly than did the cost of materials. During the current reporting period, this relationship was reversed. The material index rose from 109.2 to 121.3, while the index of labor costs increased from 118.6 to 127.8. Home Mortgage Lending in 1941 During the calendar year 1941, it is estimated that the volume of new mortgage loans written on nonfarm one- to four-family homes aggregated $3,893,000,000 as compared with $3,354,000,000 during 1940. This increase of 16 percent resulted in a higher annual total than for any year since 1929. The home mortgage lending activity of all private lenders showed substantial gains during 191, Savings and loan associations ranked first by originating $1,379,000,000 in new loans, a gain of almost 15 percent over the previous year. Commercial banks and their trust departments loaned $798,000,00( a figure 15.8 percent higher than the comparable figure for 1940. life insurance companies increased 23 percent to $399,000,000. Loans by Mutual savings banks invested $171,000,000 in home mortgage loans as compared with $133,000,00( the previous year, while individuals and others accounted for $1,083,00,000,, a rise of 25.2 percent. Exhibit 4 gives the estimated figures on mortgage lending activity for the years 1929 through 1941, by type of lender. Since detailed information on home mortgage lending activity is available only on a calendar-year basis, it is impossible to project the foregoing statistics through the fiscal year 1942. However, information which is available indicates that the close of the calendar year 1941 may have marked a turning point in the home mortgage lending activity of all lending instituti on Up to that time, the record volume of new residential construction and the large -6- number of sales of institutionally owned properties constituted a direct stimulus to the demand for home mortgage credit. Conversely, the sharp decline in new construction after the first of the year is reflected in a slowing down in the volume of home mortgage financing. This trend is indicated by monthly statistics on the volume of mortgage recordings of $20,000 or less. Mortgage recording data have been collected for the last several years by the Administration's Division of Operating Stattistics 1942, By June actual reports which are the basis for estimated totals were received from approximately 675 counties containing 63 percent of the total nonfarm population. These data are received from every State and the District of Columbia. A word of explanation should be made in connection with any analysis of recording statisticso The data include figures both on new lending activity and on registrations which result from changes in mortgage contracts as well. Therefore, they cannot be taken as an accurate measure of the volume of new lending. However, the movement of recordings over a period of time does give an excellent picture of trends in lending and significant shifts in the activity of various classes of lending institutions. During the fiscal year 1942, mortgage lenders throughout the country recorded 1,537,314 nonfarm mortgages of $20,000 or less in the total amount of $4,519,573,000. Institutional lenders accounted for 75 percent of the number and 83 percent of the dollar volume of these mortgages. in each case was accounted for by individual mortgageeso The remainder For the fiscal year as a whole, there was a slight decline in the number and an increase of 3.6 percent in the dollar volume of nonfarm mortgage recordings as compared with the previous fiscal year. - 7- A slowing down in six months of the calendar year the reporting period, comprising the first 1942, Alf of the rate of recordings during the second was the most significant development in the recording series. month from the period July to December 1941, For each the volume was substantially However, higher than during the corresponding six-month period a year earlier. the falling off in residential construction and the general slowing down of mortgage financing activity attendant upon the war program resulted in accelerating downward movement after January 1942. an The table below summarizes nonfarm mortgage recordings over the last two fiscal years by semiannual periods.

The Savings and loan associations were responsible for 32.4 percent of the number and 30.6 percent of the dollar volume of all nonfarm mortgages of $20,000 or less recorded during the reporting period. Banks and trust companies as usual ranked second, accounting for 21.0 percent of total on the basis of number and 23.7 percent on the basis of dollar volume, Individuals and miscellaneous lenders, -8- insurance companies, and mutual savings banks followed in that order.

These institutions, which include a very large majority of all active operating savings and loan associations, enjoyed a net increase in private share capital of $357,777,000, - 11 - or 10.1 percent during 1941. The fact that private savings held by operating nonmember associations declined by 3.5 percent is responsible for the relatively less favorable picture shown by the industry as a whole. There is some indication that the trend of private savings showed a somewhat different pattern after the close of the calendar year 1941. first place, In the a much higher proportion of current private savings after "Pearl Harbor" was properly invested in war bonds and stamps. months of 1912, During the first six the current redemption value of Series E bonds increased by $2,537,000,000 to $3,671,000,000, of dollar volume, a gain of almost 225 percent. In terms sales of Series E war bonds from January to June 1942 far exceeded sales of both Baby Bonds and Series E war bonds during the entire year 1941. On the other hand, partial information which is available shows a definite slackening in the rate at which private savings are going into private financial institutions. Savings deposits held by mutual savings banks declined from $10,490,000,000 on December 31, 1941, to $10,55,000,000 on June 30, 192. Insured savings and loan associations, which constitute a representative group of all operating associations in the country, report a gain of only $138,733,000, or 5.3 percent, in private share capital during the first six months of 19 During the same period of the preceding calendar year, these institutions enjoyed a net gain of $231,349,000, or 10.5 percent. These data indicate that such developments as forward buying, the transfer of some accumulated savings to war bonds, increased taxation, and a rapid rise in the cost of living are causing at least a temporary lull in steady upward trend in the volume of savings held by private institutions. - 12 - the - -- -- - -- - - -- - -- -- -- . - - - - -- - -- -- -- ' -- - FEDERAL HOUE LOCAiT BANK SYSTEM At the close of the past fiscal year, the Federal Home Loan Bank System rounded out the first decade of its existence. thvt the Federal Home Loan Bank Act--the first It was on July 22, 1932, measure affecting American home finance to be adopted by the Federal Government--was enacted into law. During these ten years, the Federal Home Loan Banks have made cuimulative advances amounting to almost $1,000,000,000. They have issued debentures totaling $292,700,000 to tap the general money market for the benefit of local thrift and home financing institutions. They have functioned as depositories for members, holding between $25,000,000 and $35,000,000 of such deposits in the past three fiscal years. Through interbank deposits in the gross amount of over "llL,000,000, they have transferred surplus funds within the Federal Home Loan Bank System to areas where they were most needed. Combined assets of the member institutions of the Federal Home Loan Bank System at the close of the tenth fiscal year, exceeded $5,500,000,000; and the total (consolidated) resources of the twelve Banks themselves were more than '300,000,000. A. Operations of Member Institutions Changes in Membership Although the membership of the Federal Home Loan Bank System declined slightly from 3,839 to 3,815 during the 19)2 fiscal year, the combined assets of these institutions show a gain of $356,795,000, or 6.8 percent during the same period. - 13 - C For the past five years, membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank System has remained fairly stable. During this same five-year period, however, the total resources of members have grown by more than $1,837,000,000. At the present time, therefore, it is apparent that the increasing importance of the Federal Home Loan Bank System in the Nationts home financing structure is attributable almost entirely to the growth and strengthening of member institutions. The slight contraction in the number of institutions has resulted principally from mergers and consolidations--a process which has been under way for a number of years and which is resulting in a group of institutions better equipped from the standpoint of size and financial strength to meet the public demand for savings outlets and home mortgage credit. During the reporting period, 74 thrift and home financing institutions were admitted to membership as compared with 69 during the preceding fiscal year. Applications for membership which were still pending on June 30, 1942, totaled 56 as against 66 the year previous. Terminations of membership during the 1942 fiscal year numbered 98 as compared with 14 during the preceding reporting period. In 28 cases, termination was occasioned by merger, consolidation, or sale of assets to other member institutions and, therefore, did not result in the complete withdrawal of the assets held by these associations. The following table summarizes, by types of institutions, the changes in membership during the fiscal year 192. Exhibit 8 gives the number and assets of member institutions at the close of the last two fiscal years, by Federal Home Loan Bank Districts and by States. -14 - Number and Assets of Member Institutions of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, June 30, 194, and June 30, 1942 (Dollar amounts in millions) June 30, 1941 Type of Member Institution June 30, 1942 Net Change Assets Number Assets Number Assets 3,798 $4,627 3,772 $4, 885 - 26 + $258 Federally-chartered State-chartered 1,452 857 2,028 1,126 1,464 2,206 9 12 t Uninsured associations 1,489 1,473 1,402 1,430 t 87 15 41 660 43 759 * 2 99 12 252 341 29 408 17 26 Number Savings and loan associations Insured associations: Other members Savings banks Insurance companies 178 +49 906 123 4, 5 89 3 4+18 10 4, 3,839 Total Lending Activit 5.287 3,815 5.6J4 - 2!+ 357 of Member Institutions As might be expected from the decline in residential building during recent months, new mortgage loans made by member savings and loan associations during the fiscal year 1942 were somewhat under the record level set in the previous reporting period Loans by member associations amounted to $1,063,45,O00 as compared with $t,08l,866,000during the 1941 fiscal year, a decline of two percent. Mortgage lending by nonmember savings and loan associations also dropped from $209,508,000 to $193,890,000. As a result, lending activity of all savings and loan associations declined from the peak figure of $1,294,374,000 during the 1941 reporting period to $1,257,335,000 during the fiscal year 1942. Exhibit 9 gives the volume of new mortgage loans made by savings and loan associations for the last six - 15 - fiscal years. More significant than the slight decline in total lending activity are shifts in the distribution of new loans by purpose. A close relationship The exists between trends in home construction and in mortgage lending. several years immediately preceding the reporting period showed steady and substantial increases in the annual volumes of nonfarm residential construction. It is not surprising, thereforp, that during these same years an increasing proportion of the funds currently loaned by member savings and loan associations went to finance the construction of homes. Conversely, when the first restrictions were imposed on new construction in the fall of 1941, there was an almost immediate decline in the volume of construction loans made by savings and loan associations. Beginning in October 19 1, reports on current mortgage financing activity show a smaller monthly volume of construction lending then during the corres ponding month of the previous year, with an insignificant exception in December 1941. During June 192, member institutions advanced only l$4,54,000 to finance the construction of new homes, a figure 6536 percent under June 1941. So substantial was the falling off in construction lending that loans for this purpose throughout the entire fiscal year 192 totaled but $311,039,000, a decline of 20o2 percent when compared with the previous reporting period. As might be expected, construction lending suffered more seriously than did other loan categories. Consequently, construction loans of member institutions during the fiscal year 1942 represented only 29.3 percent of total loans made as compared with 35.9 percent the year previous. During the first half of the fiscal year 192, i.e., from July through December 1941, reached a new peak. loans to finance the acquisition of existing homes As a result of improving real estate markets in many communities, home purchase loans during this period were more than - 16 - 45 percent However, the closing months of the reportin above the last six months of 1940. period were marked by a rapid slowing down even in this trend. By June 1942, current loans for the purchase of existing homes were slightly under the figure set in June 1941. This leveling off in purchase lending may be explained in Not infrequently the part at least by the earlier decline in new building. sale of new houses is followed by a series of sales of existing properties, the result of a "filtering up" process caused by the moving of families into In addition, the rapid liquidation of institutionally-held real new homes. estate has reduced materially the supply of properties aailable for sale. Despite the declining volume of home purchase lending by member associations toward the end of the reporting period, loans for this purpose throughout the fiscal year 1942 totaled $77,193,000, as compared with the previous year. to make up the loss suffered in loans in first refinancing, a gain of 22.9 percent This increase was more than sufficient construction lending and put home purchase place among the various loan categories. However, loans for reconditioning, and other purposes, as shown by the table below, declined both in dollar volume and in relation to total during the 1942 fiscal year.

The contributions of member savings and loan associations include two major activities--first, industry areas, and second, the financing of needed housing in war direct cooperation in the Treasury program of war financing through the sale of war bonds and stamps. During the fiscal year 1942, member institutions advanced a total of $831,000,000 in areas of concentrated war activity. It is approximately $319,500,000 of this amount represented the first estimated that permanent financing of some 106,600 newly-constructed housing units. The Administration has encouraged member institutions to engage in the financing of war housing to the limit of their abilities. To this end, policies of the Administration governing the lending operations of insured institutions have been revised to permit these associations, under certain conditions, to sell mortgage loans and use the proceeds to finance war housing. A substantial majority of member savings and loan associations are actively engaged in the sale of war bonds and stamps. At the close of the current reporting period, 2,717 institutions had qualified as issuing agents. Although this group of institutions represented but 72 percent of the total membership in terms of number, they held over 90 percent of the assets of all member savings and loan associations. Recognizing the vital importance of diverting surplus consumer purchasing power into war savings, the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration and the officers of the regional Federal Home Loan Banks have carried on a continuing program to encourage member institutions to devote their most - 18 - Tangible results of this activity intensive efforts to the 'var Bond camrrpaign. and the wholehearted reflected in cooperation of member savings and loan associations are the i'act th.t , amounted to .'5L Q1,001, sales reported for the r:onrth of July 191:2 alone an increase of 32 percent over the previous month. Although the savings and loan industry has not been subject to the shock:; of a war econoy already suffered by many other peace-time businesses, neither has it been left entirely unscathed. The precipitate drop in new residential building, as already noted, has brought about a recession in one of the principal business activities of these institutionsnamely, financing the construction of new homes, The growing demand for private savings to help fin&nce the war may mean a slowing down in money into savings and loan associations. the flow of new However, these are small sacrifices indeed compared writh the losses suffered by many industries unable by their very nature toreadjust their operations to the all-important demands of the war. At the worst it would appear that thrift and home financing institutions may be entering a period of "marking tiex--a period which may well offer these institutions an opportunity to fortify themselves for the day of post-war readjustments. With this end in view, the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration in cooperation with other supervisory ofiicials and industry leaders is actively encouraging managing officers and directors to take whatever steps may be necessary to place their institutions in the strongest possible financial position. Rapid strides in this direction have already been made by the large >ajority of local savings and loan associations. Nonetheless, as past experience only too often has proved, it is impossible to prepare too well for an uncertain future. - 19 - Specific recoxmmendations the strengthening of reservesc of the Administration include first of all The accumulation of adequate reserves on a systematic basis is perhaps the best method of meeting future losses over which an individual association may have little or no control. Institutions are also urged to dispose of their owned real estate in as short a time as sound business operations will permit* The sale of foreclosed real estate, particularly in war industry areas where housing accommodations are frequently in great demand, has the dual advantage of improving the balance sheet of individual associations and making available needed housing for war workers, There is always the danger that lending institutions which are operating in a market where the demand for mortgage financing is falling, while loanable funds continue in ample quantity, may so lower their lending standards that marginal or unsound risks will be accepted. Careful attention to sound risk analysis and accurate appraisal techniques are more important than ever at such a timeo An increasingly competitive market also necessitates the establishment of interest and dividend rates at levels which will enable institutions, on the one hand, to obtain and hold sound and safe mortgage security, and, on the other, to meet local competition for private savings funds. Local thrift and home financing institutions in a number of cases are adopting mortgage prepayment plans that permit home purchasers to build up reserves that will protect them if they are temporarily unable to meet their monthly payments at some later date. Mortgage prepayment plans are not only of obvious value to borrowers--they also operate to protect the risks assumed by financial institutions, and, to the extent that overpayments are made from rising current incomes, they have an anti-inflationary influence. - 20 - The common aim of the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration and the industry is to emphasize the trustee responsibility inherent in the operation of local savings and loan associations. there is character of these institutions, Because of the mutual a dual obligation on the part of managing officers and directors to protect the hard-earned savings of small investors and to provide an equitable type of mortgage credit to prospective home owners. Further Retirement of Governmgnt Investments During the fiscal year 1942 a substantial reduction was again made in the volume of outstanding investments of the United States Treasury and the Home Ownerst Loan Corporation in On June 30, the shares of savings and loan associations. 1942, these investments aggregated $186,512,410, a reduction of almost ten percent as compared with the close of the preceding fiscal year.. The investment of Government funds in associations was first authorized in the share capital of savings and loan the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1933. of a broad program to strengthen the Nation's home financing resources, As part this statute and subsequent appropriations set aside $49,300,000 of Treasury funds for investment in the shares of Federal savings and loan associations. amendments to the Home Owners, Later Loan Act authorized that Corporation to make investments up to $500,000,000 in the shares of Federal savings and loan associations and State-chartered institutions which either belong to the Federal Home Loan Bank System or which are insured by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. Under the terms of the statutes authorizing Government share investments in savings and loan associations, no request for retirement may be made by the Federal Home Loan Bank Aministration for a period of five years from the date of investment. Thereafter, requests are made, - 21 - in the discretion of the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration, but in no event in an amount exceeding in any one year ten percent of the total amount invested in the shares of an association. By the end of the reporting period, the volume of retirements requested by the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration, on the basis of a careful study of the current financial condition of institutions holding totaled $11,671,850. Government investments, aggregate $86,5%4,300, it Since cumulative retirements is evident that voluntary repurchases have been largely responsible for the decline in total investments. Investment by the Treasury in the shares of Federal savings and loan associations was completed in By June 30, 1956 when the $49,300,000 was exhausted. 192, total Treasury investments had been reduced, as a result of voluntary repurchases, principally to $19,I42,600. Most of the share capital investments of the Home Ownerst Loan Corporation were made in 1936 and 1937. been granted principally in Since that time, investments have connection with rehabilitation programs or to institutions in war industry areas which are able to demonstrate a need for additional capital to finance needed war housing.

This sum is equaivalent to a rate of 5.37 percent per annum on the average investments outstanding since 1934. - 23 - Analysis of Condition of Member Associations Comparison of the consolidated balance sheet of member savings and loan associations at the close of the calendar years 1940 and 191, shows a noteworthy improvement in the financial condition of member institutions. (Annual financial statements of member institutions are submitted on a calendar year basis; hence, it is not possible to present the following analysis on a fiscal-year basis.) The asset side of the master balance sheet reveals a heavy reduction in real estate holdings, a stronger liquidity position, and a new peak in mortgage loan portfolios. On the liability side there was a substantial gain in private capital and a sizable reduction in Government share investments. Although general reserves and undivided profits declined fractionally in relation to gross liabilities, these accounts show a dollar gain of over $24,000,000,1 Assets: Total assets of member savings and loan associations show a gain of approximately $387,000,000 during 1941, reaching a new high of $4,800,000,000 on December 31, 1941. The greatest increase is noted in the case of Federal savings and loan associations, which show a gain of 15.9 percent. State-chartered insured institutions show a growth in total assets of 12.5 percent, while State-chartered uninsured associations suffered a decline of nearly $40,000,000, or 2.7 percent. The transfer of State associa tions to insured or Federal categories is, of course, largely responsible for this latter showing. First Mortgage Loans On December 31, 1941, first mortgage invest ments of member associations aggregated $3,919,000,000, an increase of 12 percent as compared with the combined balance sheet a year previous. The mortgage portfolio of member savings and loan associations thus represented over four-fifths (81.7 percent) of aggregate assets. To those interested in a detailed tabulation of over-all balance-sheet trends, reference is made to the July 1942 issue of the Federal Home Loan Bank Review. - 24- Real Estates Acquired property held by member savings and loan This item, which associations was reduced by over 37 percent during 1941. at the end of 1936 represented 16 percent of total assets, 1839,000,000, or less than 4 amounted to only percent at the end of 1941. The successful efforts of savings and loan management to dispose of foreclosed real estate is one of the most important evidences of the current strong financial position of most associations. Whereas only a few short years ago the volume of real estate institutionally held was a matter of considerable concern to all supervisory authorities, it is now safe to conclude that by and large the real estate overhang is a problem of the past. Cash: A good indication of the fact that savings and loan associations are well aware of the advisability of maintaining a sound liquidity position is found in the growth of cash on hand and in banks from $242,000,000 to over $278,000,000 during 1941. There has been a steady increase in the volume of cash reserves maintained by member institutions since 1957 and at the end of 1941, cash represented 5.8 percent of total resources. In addition to fortifying their cash position, member savings and loan associations increased their Government bond holdings during 1941. This secondary liquidity account now amounts to over $75,000,000, a growth of 64 percent during the year. Private Repurchasable Capital: During 1941, private investments in member savings and loan associations increased by 11 percent to $3,400,000,000. Although complete information is not available on the trend of share capital in all member savings and loan associations after the close of the calendar year 1941, data which are available on insured institutions indicate that - 25 - the rate at which private investments are being received by savings and loan associations may have been slowing down temporarily at least. first six months of 1942, During the for example, private capital outstanding in insured savings and loan associations increased only $138,755,000 as cormpared with $231,549,000 during the corresponding period a year previous. The drive to divert new savings into war bonds no doubt accounts in part at least for this trend. A greater volume of repurchases occasioned by forward buying, a rise in the cost of living, and higher taxes may also have had some influence in the slowing up process. Borrowed Moneys This creditor liability on December 31, 1941, amounted to $239,22,000, an increase of 10.3 percent as compared with the close of 1940. Borrowings as a ratio of total liabilities were 4.99 percent on December 31, 1941, as compared with 4.92 percent a year previous. Reserves: General reserves and undivided profits show a gain of over $24,000,000, or 8 percent, during 1941. However, this rate of growth was somewhat less than gains made in total resources, with the result that the ratio of reserves and undivided profits to total liabilities declined fraction ally from 6.88 percent to 6.83 percebnt Charges to reserves occasioned by a large volume of real estate sales are primarily responsible for this fact. Statement of Operations Consolidations of income and expense statements of member savings and loan associations are available only for those institutions which report on a calendar-year basis. This fact, plus the changes which occur from year to year in the number of member institutions, makes a comparison of operating ratios considerably more significant than the dollar changes which may occur, Nonetheless, it is interesting to note that gross operating income of the - 26 - 3,536 institutions reporting for the calendar year 1941 totaled $235,569,200. The comparable figure for the 3,508 institutions reporting in 1940 was $212,591,o000 The growth in mortgage loans held by member savings and loan associations during 1941 is reflected-in the fact that interest income on these investments represented 88.0 percent of gross operating income. During the previous year, the corresponding ratio was 86.7 percent. The decline of 37 percent in owned real estate during the twelve months ending December 31, 1941, was responsible for the fact that income from real estate represented only 1.6 percent of gross operating income as compared with 2.4 percent during the previous year. The distribution of net income by reporting associations during 19l1 is another evidence of the increasing importance which institutions are attaching to the accumulation of adequate reserves. Dividend payments absorbed 71.2 percent of net income as compared with 73.5 percent during the preceding year and 75.5 percent in 1939. Transfers to reserves and undivided profits show a favorable trend with 29 percent of net income going to these accounts during 1941, as against only 26 percent in 1940.2 For a more detailed discussion of income and expense trends of member savings and loan associations during 19)1, reference is made to the September 1941 issue of the Federal Home Loan Bank Review. - 27 B. Operations of the Federal Home Loan Banks Lending Activity Advances to member institutions during the fiscal year 1942 reached a new high of $155,02,0047, an increase of 8.5 percent over the previous peak set during the 1941 reporting period. Repayments by borrowers were also higher than during tho preceding fiscal year, amounting to $132,277,501, 1.5 percent above the comparable figure for the previous year. or The net result of these lending operations was a volume of advances outstanding on 4,936. June 30, 1942, of $192,6 1 It is noteworthy that during the 1942 fiscal year, advances outstanding reached the highest point in the history of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. On December 31, 1941, midway through the reporting period, advances by the Banks amounted to $219,L46,050, a figure 8.9 percent above the previous peak recorded on December 31, 1940. Total advances made by the Federal Home Loan Banks from the beginning of operations through June 30, 19L2, amounted to $928,933,902 and repayments of borrowers during the same period aggregated $736,288,966. Exhibit 10 summarizes, by fiscal years, advances, repayments, and balances outstanding since the beginning of operations. Analysis of current lending operations of the twelve Federal Home Loan Banks shows little uniformity in trends during the 1942 fiscal-year period. Eight of the Banks show a higher volume of advances outstanding on June 30, 1942, as compared with June 30, 1941. Percentage gains varied from 1.2 percent in the case of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago to 54.6 percent in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston. The remaining four Banks report declines ranging from 1.1 percent to 153o5 percent. - 28 - The maximum rate which may be charged on Federal Home Loan Bank advances has been set by the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration at 3 percent. During the reporting period, the only changes in interest rates actually The charged by individual banks were in the Indianapolis and Portland Banks former reduced its rates on short-term advances to 2 percent and on long-term advances to 2-1/2 percent, while the latter Bank created a 2-1/2 percent rate for advances collateralized by negotiable U. S* Government obligations. As an additional incentive to their member associations, the Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, and Topeka Banks established a preferential rate of 2 percent on advances to members used to purchase United States War Bonds On July 1, 1922, the Banks were charging from 2-1/2 to 3 percent on long-term advances and from 1-1/2 to 3 percent on short-term advances. 3 Types of Advances Once again, a review of the lending operations of Federal Home Loan Banks during the reporting period shows a gain in the proportion of funds advanced on a short-term basis. On June 30, 1942, loans which had been written for a term of one year or less amounted to $80,121,685, or 41.6 percent of total advances outstanding, as compared with 38.7 percent a year previous. It is probable that the lower interest oharge made by several of the Federal Home Loan Banks on short-term advances, coupled with the difficulty in such times as these of estimating credit needs very far in the future, are the principal causes for the growing emphasis on short-term advances. The distri bution of outstanding advances, by Federal Home Loan Bank Districts and by term of loan at the close of the last two fiscal years will be found in Exhibit 11. For detailed information on the rates charged by Federal Home Loan Banks, see Exhibit 15 of Ninth Annual Report of Federal Home Loan Bank Board. - 29 - The relationship between secured and unsecured advances shows little change fror June 30, 1914, to June 30, 1912. On the latter date, advances vhich had been made on the security of mortgage collateral and obligations of the United States Government amounted to $10,1l35,951, or 72.7 percent of all outstanding advances. percent. A year previous, the corresponding ratio was 71.8 Collateral supporting secured advances at the close of the reporting period consisted of 126,605 home mortgages with unpaid balances of $325,075,351; and obligations of the United States Government, direct or fully guaranteed, in the amount of $1,112,900. In addition, the Banks hold a statutory lien on the stock holdings of borrowing members in the amount of $27,041,000, which stock can, if necessary, be used to protect advances, both secured and unsecured. On June 30, 1942, except for five borrowers in liquidation, not a single institution was delinquent over thirty days in its contractual obligations to the Federal Home Loan Banks. Four of the liquidating borrowing members were indebted to the Bank in the amount of $256,349 which was collateralized by $517,558 in home mortgages, and $53,700 in paid-in Bank stock. In no case was the collateral less than 210 percent of an individual indebtedness. The one unsecured advance to a liquidating member amounted to $163,700 and was protected not only by a lien on Bank stock in the amount of $13,700, but also by $339,143 in land contracts. No loss is anticipated by the Banks concerned on the indebtedness of any liquidating borrower. Statement of Condition A statement of condition of the twelve Federal Home Loan Banks as a whole and of each of the individual Banks will be found in Exhibit 12. There follows a brief summary of the more significant balance-sheet trends. Cash holdings of $47,320,115 on June 30, 1942, represent a decrease of 17.3 percent as compared with the close of the previous fiscal year. - 30 - However, secondary liquidity in the form of U. S. Government obligations increased from to $69,367,915 during the reporting period. 063,407,070 Government investments, therefore, totaled $116,688,030 and were equivalent to 37.6 percent of consolidated assets. securities in Combined cash and Cash available for advances 4 and excess of legal requirements 5 totaled $96,699,367 on June 30, 19L 2. Advances outstanding to member institutions, as already mentioned, aggregated $192,6L4,936 and represented 62.1 percent of the consolidated assets of the Banks. At the beginning of the current reporting period, two series of consolidated debentures were outstanding in the amount of $75,500,000. Series "G", a $52,000,000 issue, was retired at maturity on April 15, 19L42. To provide adequate funds for the peak lending period at the close of 1941, Series H, amounting to $15,000,000, banks on December s sold privately to four comercial 24, 1941, and carried an interest rate of 1/2 of 1 percent. This series matured two months later and was retired in 1942. full on February 24, Three additional series were issued during the reporting periodo Series "I" was issued on March 5, 19 2, in the amount of $26,000,000. This series bears an interest rate of 3/4 of 1 percent and a maturity date of September 1, The first, 1942. Series "J" and "K" were each issued on April 15, amounting to $18,000,000, interest rate of 3/4 of 1 percent. mature February 1, 1945, matures December 1, 1942, 1942. and bears an Series "K", totaling $24,000,000, will and carries an interest rate of 7/8 of 1 percent. Represents total cash less reserve requirements of 75 percent of members' demand deposits, 25 percent of members time deposits, total applicants' deposits on Bank stock, inter-bank deposits, and imprest funds. 5 Represents the face value or principal amount of investments owned above the necessary legal reserves. - 31 - As a result of the foregoing transactions, $91,500,000 in consolidated debentures was outstanding on June 30, 19 12. The total volume of memberst deposits on June 30, to $27,696,777. Of this amount, 1942, amounted $21,353,605 represented time deposits on which interest at the rate of 1/2 of 1 percent was paid and the remaining $6,343,172 constituted demand deposits on which no interest is paid. of members on June 30, 1942, show a decline of $3,610,093, or 11.5,percent, as compared with the close of the preceding reporting period. beginning of operations, Deposits From the the Federal Home Loan Banks have relied on inter-bank deposits as one means of maintaining a regional flow of funds from areas of plenty to areas having a temporary scarcity of funds. 1942, inter-bank deposits aggregated $17,000,000, outstanding on June 30, During the fiscal year of which $1,750,000 was 1942. Outstanding paid-in capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Banks totaled $175,532,650 on June 30, 1942, as compared with $171,283,200 a year previous. This increase of 2.5 percent in the capital stock of the Banks was attributable entirely to gains in the stock holdings of member institutions. The amount of stock held by the Federal Government, $124,741,000, has not changed since November 1937. Reserves and undivided profits of the Federal Home Loan Banks show a gain of 17.2 percent during the reporting period and totaled $14,105,921 on June 30, 1942. The Federal Home Loan Banks, in the irterest of sound and conservative operations, have consistently maintained higher reserves and undistributed earnings than required by statute. The reserve and undivided profit accounts of the Banks which have been built up from the beginning of operations through June 30, 1912, are more than twice the amount of the reserves required by law. - 32 - Income and Expenses of the Federal Home Loan Banks A detailed statement of profit and loss for the reporting period will be found in Exhibit 13. The following summary highlights the financial operations of the Banks during the reporting period. Gross income for the fiscal year 1942 totaled $6,559,202 as compared with $6,031,305 during the 1941 fiscal year. The increase as accounted for primarily by larger interest income fron a higher average volume of advances outstanding and by earnings on additional investment holdings. Operating expenses during the fiscal year 1942 aggregated $2,212,090 as compared with $2,2.8,133 the year previous. funds and members' avings in the cost of debenture deposits were mainly responsible for this decline. earnings of the Federal Home Loan Banks during the 194 Net fiscal year totaled $h,285,630 as compared with $3,696,183 for the previous reporting period. During the 19L2 fiscal-year period, dividends declared by the Banks ranged from 1 to 2 percent, with an average rate of 12 oercent as compared 4 with 1. 14 percent during the preceding year* Divdends actually distributed during the reporting period aggregated $2,213,701, of which $630,602 was paid to member stockholders, and the remaining $1,583,099 to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation which now holds the Government-owned stock. C. Examination and Supervision Each of the twelve Federal Hme Loan. Banks is examined semiannually by the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration. These examinations and regular and special reports on current operations and condition provide the basic data for the establishment of rules and regulations and general supervision of the Bankso - 33 - In addition, the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration examines and supervises all Federal savings and loan associations, In the case of State-chartered insured associations, supervision, and, in more than three fourths of the cases, examination are shared with the respective State Supervisory Departments. In addition, in a few instances State-chartered uninsured members of the Federal Home Loan Bank System which are not subject to regular State examination submit to examination by the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration, On June 30, 192, there were 2,374 insured institutions under supervision of the Administration. The Federal Home Loan Bank Administration has for several years maintained a separation of its examining and supervisory activities, Actual experience to date has demonstrated the desirability of this type of organization. It has the dual advantage of insuring both a maximum degree of independence to fact-finding examiners and a detached consideration and analysis of examination reports by trained supervisory officialso The examining and supervisory activities of the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration are increasing in volume and importance. In the first place, the number of insured institutions has grown steadily in recent years. During the last two fiscal years alone, the number of institutions supervised by the Administration has increased by six percent to 2,37. An even better measure of the task of examining and supervising insured institutions is the volume of assets held by these associations. From June 30, 1940, to the close of the reporting period, assets of insured associations grew by 27.8 percent to $3,61,228,000. -34 - Supervision can be defined, in general terms, as an activity which is undertaken to assure the proper protection of the public interest in the operation of financial institutions. Supervision does not extend to actual participation by Governmental authorities in institutional management. On the contrary, the business activities of insured savings and loan associations are properly the concern of local management and trustee directorates. The function of the Administration is rather to establish the basic standards or rules which judgment and experience indicate will guide institutions to the goal of sound public service. Supervisory activities, no matter how well formulated or carried out, cannot provide the all-inclusive answer to successful financial management and operation. In the final analysis, well-trained, efficient, and capable management is equally if not more important. The Administration has, therefore, devoted considerable time and attention to the development, through informal educational processes, of high standards of association management and operation. Such continuous supervisory activities are difficult to evaluate in specific measure, but past experience would indicate that constant effort to prevent the initial development of weaknesses is perhaps the most effective type of supervisory guidance. The Federal Home Loan Bank Administration is assisted in the discharge of its supervisory responsibilities through conferences with the Federal Savings and Loan Advisory Council. This organization was created by statute for the specific purpose of conferring with the Administration 'on general business conditions and on special conditions affecting the Federal Home Loan Banks and their members." - 35 - The Council, which is composed of one member elected by each of the twelve boards of directors of the Federal Home Loan Banks and six members appointed by the Federal Home Loan Bank Ad-inistration, held two meetings during the 1942 fiscal year. Discussions by the Council at these meetings covered a number of subjects of primary importance to the continued successful Lending policies operation of the Bank System, among which were the following: in a war economy, sale of War Bonds, financing of war housing, liquidity, and dividend and mortgage interest rates. Reconmmendations of the Council were of substantial help to the Administration in the formulation and development of policies. the Council members as of June 30, D. A list of 192, will be found in Exhibit 14. Income and Expenses of the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration The operating funds of the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration are obtained from assessments upon the twelve Federal Home Loan Banks, from charges made against the Home Owners' Loan Corporation and the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation for services rendered by the Administration, and from fees received for the examination of home financing institutions. All expenses of the Administration's Examining Division, which represent the largest portion of the Administrationts annual budget, are reimbursed by the examined institutions. During the fiscal year 1942, receipts of the Administration aggregated $1,608,790 and disbursements totaled $1,95,375. balance of Including a cash 2359,959 carried over from the preceding year, a balance of $35,37 was outstanding on June 30, 1942. Exhibit 15 shows the administrative receipts and disbursements of the Administration during the last two fiscal years. - 76 - The personnel of the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration totaled 131 on June 30, 19 2, including 33 employees on military leave. Of this total, 307 employees, or 71 percent of total, constituted the staff of the Administration's Examining Division. Exhibit 16 gives a summary of personnel, by departments, as of the close of the last two fiscal years. - 57 - -c I _ ---i I III TT IPIIY --.. ~CYP-L--~ _- C~WIC-I - ~I ---------- FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATIOI S Number and Assets The number of savings and loan associations operating under Federal charter shows little 1942, change during the current reporting period. Federal savings and loan associations numbered 1,461 1,4521 a year previous. and 13 terminations. On June 30, as compared with This net change of 12 was the result of 25 additions Only four of the additions during the reporting period represented newly-organized associations, The remaining 21 involved converting associations which had previously operated under State charter. The 13 terminations were the result of nine mergers and two voluntary and two involuntary liquidations. Cancellations resulting from merger and consolidation of existing institutions do not, of course, represent a with drawal of assets from the Federal Savings and Loan System. In providing for the establishment of Federal savings and loan associations, Congress contemplated that these institutions would serve two purposes: First, to provide adequate thrift and home financing facilities in localities which lacked them, and second, to develop under Federal charter a group of home financing institutions operating under the highest standards and practices. 1 Revision necessitated by certain changes in reporting procedure adopted during the 1942 fiscal year. 38 - -I The number of Federal savings and loan associations newly chartered under the terms of the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1937 has remained virtually constant for the last six years, and it is not contemplated that any substantial number of new charters will be issued in the future. Federal associations on June 30, There lcre 640 new 1942, as compared with 84 institutions which had converted from State to Federal charter, The total assets of Federal savings and loan associations on June 30, 1942, amounted to $2,205,921,000, an increase of 8.6 percent as compared with the same figure a year previous. Although this represents a new high point in the resources held by Federal savings and loan associations, the gain during the reporting period failed to equal that of the preceding year, either on a percentage basis or in dollar amount. This is not unexpected in view of the general decline in the rate of growth of all savings and loan associations as a result of war conditions. (See p. 19.) In comparison with the entire savings and loan industry, Federal savings and loan associations now represent approximately 21 percent of all institutions by numbere On the other hand, as a result of rapid growth and proved ability to meet local competitive conditions, Federal associations now hold approximately 36 percent of the assets of all operating associations in the country. The number of Federal associations and their assets, by Federal Home Loan Bank Districts and by States, as of the close of the last two fiscal years, will be found in Exhibit 19. Current Trends in Share Capital The close of the reporting period marked a new peak in the number of investors in Federal savings and loan associations as well as in the gross - 39 - volume of savings entrusted to these institutions* On June 30, 1942, there were 1,959,200 individual investors whose total investments amounted to $1,735,932,000 as compared with 1,805,500 and $1,553,712,000, a year previous. Again, it respectively, must be noted, however, that in line with other major trends, the increase in private savings held by Federal associations took place at a much slower rate than during preceding fiscal-year periods. The following index figures, based on a comparable group of Federal savings and loan associations operating for the past eight fiscal years, indicate the rapid strides made by these institutions in attracting investments from the public. It will be noted that the index shows an increase of only 11 percent during the 1942 fiscal year as compared with a gain of 21 percent during the previous reporting period. Index of Private Repurchasable Capital in Comparable Federal Savings and Loan Associations* (Average month 1935-1939 Date June 30, 1935 June 50, 1936 June 30, 1937 Private Repurchasable _ 75 82 94 100) Percent Increase Over Preceding Year 9 15 June 30, 1938 110 17 June 30, 1939 June 30, 1940 136 169 24 24 June 30, 1941 June 30, 1942 204 227 21 11 *This index eliminates the effect of conversion Qf State-chartered into Federally-chartered associations, and the addition of newly established Federal associations during the period. Any growth of associations resulting from consolidation, merger, or purchase of assets from other institutions is not reflected in the index. Federal savings and loan associations report a substantial reduction in the volume of Government share investments during the current reporting period. On June 30, 19.2, Loan Corporation and the U. P169,26,650 a year with total outstanding investments of the Home Owners t S. Treasury amounted to $151,299,700 as compared previous--a drop of 10.6 percent* of declining Government investments, As a net result on the one hand, and increasing private investments, on the other, the ratio of Government share capital to total declined from 10 percent on June 30, 1941, to 8 percent on June 30, 1942. Mortgage Lending Activity Mortgage lending activity of Federal savings and loan associations during the 1942 fiscal year followed the same general trends shown by all member institutions, although the falling off in lending volume during the closing months of the reporting period was even sharper than in rember institutions. the case of State From July through December 1941, Federal savings and loan associations wrote mortgage loans in the total amount of $3504,51,000, an increase of 12.6 percent as compared with the same six-month period a year earlier. During the six months from January through June 19L2, however, lending by Federal associations showed a drop of 31.0 percent as compared with the January-June 19 1 total and amounted to only $210,115,000. This decline wvas severe enough to overbalance the gains made during the previous six months, with the result that the fiscal year as a whole shows a decline of ~:55,02,000, or 6.h percent, when compared with the 1941 fiscal year. An analysis of the current mortgage lending activity of Federal savings and loan associations, See pr. on the basis of the purpose for which loans 15-17. -41 are granted, shows marked changes during the 1942 fiscal year. VWhereas loans to finance the construction of new homes during the 1941 reporting period amounted to $227,811,000, or 41.4 percent of total loans made, the current reporting period shows loans for this purpose in the dollar amount of only $174,035,000, or 33.8 percent of total. Loans to finance the purchase of existing homes, on the other hand, increased over one-fifth during the twelve months ending June 30, 1942. Home purchase loans aggregated $217,137,000, or 42.2 percent of total loans written, as compared with $180,834,000, or 32.9 percent of total during the 1941 fiscal year--a change accounted for, no doubt, by the more intensive demand for existing structures in many communities. As the table below indicates, loans for refinancing, reconditioning, and miscellaneous purposes show declines both in dollar volume and in relation to total activity during the reporting period.

Most of this gain is first accounted for by a rise in mortgage holdings of 17.7 percent and a growth in cash of 22. percent. Real estate owned was reduced by one-third to $51,819,000 and now represents only The other side of the balance sheet shows a gain 2.4 percent of total assets. of 20 percent in private capital, share investments, a decline of almost 12 percent in and an increase of over 22 percent in Government general reserves and undivided profits. A consolidated statement of operations for all Federal savings and loan associations for the calendar year 19111 is given in Exhibit 17. Gross operating income of the 1,L56 reporting associations totaled $07,282,600 as compared with $92,292,000 for the 1,428 associations reporting for the previous calendar year. Operating expenses amounted to $30,175,200, or 28.1 percent of Net income after interest and nonoperating gross operating income in 194. items totaled $74,286,600 as compared with $63,L93,000 during 1940. Reserves and undivided profits received 29.8 percent of total net income; the remaining 70.2 percent was disbursed in the form of dividends. In 1940 the corresponding ratios were 27.3 and 72.7 percent, indicating that associations are using an increasing proportion of current income to strengthen their reserves, The rates at which dividends were paid by Federal savings and loan associations during 1940 followed the general downward trend of the previous several years. The average annual dividend rate in 191, weighted by the amount of invested capital, was 3.15 percent as compared with 3.25 percent in 194O and 3.59 percent in 1939. Each of the Federal Home Loan Bank Districts -43 - and practically all of the 48 States show a lower average rate in 1941 than in 1940, indicating that the downward revision in rates is. general throughout the country. Exhibit 18 shows the average annual rates paid by Federal associations, by Federal Home Loan Bank Districts and by States, for the calendar years 1940 and 1941, u--- I 1- -- IV --- -- ,- ~-~ = ----~--a~-~- a~--~---~-----~- ,= -I FEDERAL SAVINGS AND LOAN INSURANCE CORPORATION Operations of Insured Institutions During the fiscal year 1942, the number of savings and loan associations insured by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation increased from 2,31 to 2,374. This increase of 61 was the net result of 73 additions and 12 terminations. Terminations in 6 cases were the result of the merger of existing insured institutions, 5 were the result of liquidation, and one institution voluntarily cancelled its insurance. On June 30, 192, insuranoe applications were pending for 378 associations. The insured savings and loan group includes all 1,464 Federal savings and loan associations and 910 State associations. Investors in each of these institutions are protected by the Corporation against the loss of their savings, up to a maximum of $5,000. By the end of the reporting period, institutions enjoying the protection of the Insurance Corporation represented approximately 63 percent of the member savings and loan associations of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Their assets were equivalent to more than 70 percent of the consolidated kesources of all member institutions. Detailed information on the number and assets of insured associations will be found in Exhibit 19. Revision necessitated by certain changes in reporting procedure adopted during the 1912 fiscal year. Although the consolidated balance-sheet and operating trends which reflect the current condition and progress of insured savings and loan the last associations did not indicate the rapid advances experienced durin they nonetheless show continuing improvement for the 1)12 few fiscal years, Thus, reporting period. ;301,Lo5,000 to total assets of insured institutions increased by 191, to June 30, 3,li61,228,000 from June 30, lFL2. On this latter date, the number of insured investors had reached a new high of 3,217,500. 1he combined mortgage portfolio of all insured associations grew from 62,555,393,00 on June 30, 1941, to $2,827,956,000 at the close of the reporting period, a gain of 10.7 percent. New mortgage lending by insured institutions during the 19 2 fiscal year aggregated $797,826,000. Although this figure failed to equal the peak record of the preceding year, it represents over 75 percent of the total lending volume of all member institutions of the Federal Home Loan Bank Systexa, For the fiscal year as a whole, private savings entrusted to insured savings and loan associations increased by $502,3553,00 to $2,75 258,o00. A reduction in the volume of new investments, coupled with higher repurchases during the first few months of 19L:2, explains the fact that this net increase was somewhat smaller than the gain of $4.15,782,000 reported for the 191 fiscal year. Insurance Settlements The basic purpose for which the Congress established the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation was to bring about a greater degree of stability in savings and loan operations by spreading the risk of inevitable losses according to well-accepted insurance principles. It was to be expected that a certain number of problem cases would develop, for in any insuring operation losses are as much a part of normal operations as premium income. -46 - In its eight years of operation, 35 insured associations have In experienced difficulties requiring action by the Insurance Corporation. two of these cases, the Corporation determined after exhaustive study that no financial assistance was necessary and these associations have continued normal operations. In 23 of the remaining 33 cases the Corporation made net cash disbursements aggregating $4,251,959.51 in order to prevent default. Recoveries received through June 30, 1942, in the amount of been deducted have 530995.35 rom Gross disbursements to arrive at the foregoing figure. Additional contingent commitments to five of these associations, in the amount of $21b,374.11, were still outstanding on June 30, 1942, Three of the savings and loan associations so far assisted by the Corporation have merged with other insured institutions, three have liquidated voluntarily, paying all investors in cash, and 17 have continued operations as separate units. A total of seven institutions have been declared in default and placed in liquidation, and at the close of the fiscal year 1942, the Insurance Corporation was studying three cases to determine whether some form of corrective action should be taken. The Corporation has made a commitment of $86,000 in one of these cases contingent upon compliance with certain conditionso It is estimated that the final losses which will be sustained in all cases in which the Corporation has made or authorized contributions or permitted associations to be placed in liquidation will amount to $5,3.2,00. Analysis of the reasons for the difticulties encountered by the 33 associations with which the Corporation has had to deal indicates that adverse economic conditions, coupled with weak management, are by far the most important causes of institutional difficulties. responsible for 21 of the 33 cases. These two factors were Outright dishonesty on the part of association employees or breach of trust on the part of management accounted for the difficulties experienced by the remaining 12 institutions. - 47 - The Corporation is authorized by statute to adopt several courses of action when an insurance case is certified to it. After careful study and exhaustive analysis of the condition of the association, the Corporation determines whether it should prevent a declaration of default or whether it should permit the institution to be liquidated. A declaration of default can be prevented by the Insurance Corporation either by purchasing doubtful assets from the association, by making a loan, or by means of a contribution to the institution in difficulty. Through the close of the fiscal year 19112, the Corporation had made no loans to prevent default nor had it purchased assets, although both of these means of settlement may be employed at some future date. In each case in which an insured association has been declared in default and placed in liquidation, the Corporation has offered all insured shareholders the two optional methods of settlement set forth in the statutes: (1) a new insured account in an insured association not in default, or (2) ten percent of the insured account in cash and the remaining 90 percent in negotiable non-interest-bearing Corporation debentures, 50 percent coming due within one year and 50 percent within three years. Practically all of the investors in each of the seven insured associations which have been placed in liquidation have elected the first method of settlement, i.e., a new account in an open insured association. To date, less than one-tenth of one percent of the claims settled have provided for payment on the cash and debenture basis. Public confidence in the insurance program is directly reflected in the fact that of the total amount made available to insured shareholders in other operating institutions, approximately 60 percent has been left with these institutions in the form of savings share accounts. -48 - During the fiscal year 19L2, the Corporation extended financial aid in the form of contributions totaling $2,754,065*56 to eight associations which were threatened with default. In addition the Corporation paid out $45,000 to two institutions as payments on contingent commitments previously authorized. Operation of Insured Instittions in Default Two Federal savings and loan associations with assets of $7,200,000 and two insured State-chartered associations with assets of $514,000 were placed in liquidation during the 192 fiscal year, bringing the number of insured associations in default and liquidation to seven, with assets aggregating $7,680,000, as of June 30, 1942. The Insurance Corporation is acting as receiver for each of the four Federal associations in liquidation and as co-receiver with a State Building and Loan Department in the case of one insured State-chartered association. The Corporation, through its subrogation of insured claims, has a major claim in the proceeds of the liquidation of two State-chartered associations and takes an active interest in the liquidation of these institutions which is being carried on by a State authority. Comparative statements of condition and operations of these institutions as of the date of receivership through June 30, 1942, are shown in Exhibit 20. The liquidations are progressing favorably. Initial liquidating dividends of 20, 50, and 70 percent were declared in three of the receiverships during the fiscal year 1942, * 49 - Operations of the Insurance Corporation The balance sheet of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation during the fiscal year 1942 continued to show steady improvement. Total assets on June 30, 1942, amounted to $154,371,152 as compared with $150,920,146 a year previous. Reserves and surplus on June 30, 1942, amounted to $32,665,905 as compared with $29,388,884 on June 30, 1941. The Corporation has since its inception followed the practice of building up its surplus and reserves as rapidly as possible, recognizing that any insuring operation requires an adequate cushion against future losses. The potential insured liability of the Insurance Corporation, representing the total amount of all insured accounts up to $5,000 each and all creditor obligations of insured associations totaled $2,772,012,000 on June 30, 1912, as compared with $2,464,167,000 at the close of the 1941 fiscal year. In terms of the relationship of liability to resources of the Corporation, there was on June 30, 1942, for each dollar of capital, reserves, and surplus of the Corporation, a potential liability of $20.63. The current statement of condition of the Insurance Corporation will be found in Exhibit 21. Income of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation is derived from annual premiums paid by insured institutions, admission fees received from associations newly entering the system, and from interest on investmentso All income over and above expenses is allocated to reserves, and disbursements of the Corporation in connection with insurance settlement cases are charged to these reserve accounts. - 50 - Premium income received during the fiscal year 1942 totaled $3,5,34952 as compared with $3,063,115 for the preceding reporting period. Premiums paid by insured institutions equal 1/8 of 1 percent of total share and creditor obligations or an amount which equals approximately 11 cents for each $100 of assets. Admission fees, charged on the basis of 4 cents for each $100 of insurable accounts and creditor obligations, totaled $27,502 during the 1942 fiscal year as compared with $2*,371 in the 1941 reporting periods The Corporation's income from investments, including $131775 resulting from profits in the sale of securities, amounted to $3,612,479. Inoluding miscellaneous items, the aggregate income of the Corporation thus totaled $7,175,000 during the reporting period, an increase of $592,807 over the preceding year. The Corporation's administrative expenses amounted to $324,931 during the period under review and nonadministrative expenses, whioh arise principally from costs inourred in connection with settlement oases, totaled $32,867. ifter deduction of these administrative and nonadministrative expenses from gross income, the net income of the Corporation during the 19 to $6,817,203 as against $6,317,177 the year previous. fiscal year amounted A deailed statement of income and expense for the fiscal year 1942 will be found in Exhibit 22. Total personnel actively employed by the Corporation on June 30, 1942, numbered 70. The Corporation is able to operate efficiently with this small staff because under a cooperative arrangement it is able to utilize the various service divisions of the Federal Home an Bank Administration on a reimbursable basis and does not have to maintain such departments of its own. At the present time, the Corporation is able to maintain its administrative expenses at a figure lower than the interest income from its invested reserves. - 51 - MOUFM ON -"I , P-ammoullmBbl ~l~DI~ II~081 gs~ZUrm~ O l3~ .11 81 1 , HOTME OVTRS' D~Dlbr~ 1-~16~11111~-glL- -- -a"~--lI~a~aB~~ll*~ ~igg LOAN CORPORATION Progress in Liquidation Since the close of its emergency lending operations in June 1936, the major responsibility of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation has been the orderly and economical liquidation of its affairs. During its three-year lending period, the Corporation refinanced the mortgage obligations of 1,017,823 individuals virtually all of whom were in danger of losing their homes through foreclosure. It is the assets it holds as a result of these lending operations plus certain additional amounts it invested in the share capital of savings and loan associations which the Home Owners' Loan Corporation is now engaged in liquidating. nEergency refinancing loans made by the HOLC amounted to 35,0935,1h51321. As part of its normal servicing activities, the Corporation has found it necessary from time to time to advance supplemental amounts to its borrowers primarily for the payment of delinquent taxes. In addition it has been necessary, of course, for the Corporation to foreclose certain of the loans originally granted and in these cases its investment has been increased through the capitalization into property account of such items as delinquent interest and taxes, foreclosure and acquisition costs, and reconditioning expenditures. Through June 30, 192, the amounts advanced to borrowers and capitalized into property totaled $382,642,477. Cumulative gross investments in what might be termed the Corporationts "operating assets," i.e., the mortgage loan, vendee, - 52 - and property accounts, resulting from its lending programn, thus aggregated $3,476,093,798 through the close of the reporting period. As shown by the table below, the operating assets at the end of the fiscal year 1942 aggregated $1,938,195,197, a reduction of $1,537,898,601, or 4..2 percent. Over three-fourths of this net reduction has resulted from principal repayments on original loans. Another ten percent represents receipts from property sales and repayments by vendees. The remaining 15 percent of the total net reduction in operating assets is attributable to charge-offs and losses. As will be explained in more detail later, the Corporation has been able to make up a large proportion of these losses and charge-offs from its operating income.

The total balance of mortgage loan, vendee, and property accounts was reduced from $2,189,038,942 at the beginning of the fiscal year to $1,938,195,197 on June 30, 1942, a decline of $250,843,745, or 11.5 percent. - 53 - The Corporation's investments in the share capital of savings and loan associationw have also been substantially reduced. These investments were authorized by Congress in 1935 as a means of stimulating private home mortgage lending activity. Up to June 30, 1942, the Corporation had invested a total of $223,756,710 in this.manner. that date aggregated $167,069,810, The amount still outstanding on a decline of over 25 percent. The major proportion of the reduction in this asset item has been brought about as the result of voluntary retirements over and above amounts requested by the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration. 1 The liquidation of the Corporation's debtor and property accounts and the retirement of investments in savings and loan associations has been accompanied by a decline in bonded indebtedness. Total bonds outstanding on June 30, 1942, amounted to $2,119,317750 as compared with a peak of $3,047,046,575 on May 31, 1936. In accordance with the Home Owners' Loan Act of 1933, the Corporation segregates all principal repayments by borrowers for use only in the retirement of bonds. Certain other receipts of the Corporation, including cash Droceeds from property sales and funds received in connection with the repurchase of savings and loan investments, applied. are similarly Cumulatively through the. close of the reporting period, all sums applicable to the retirement of bonds aggregated $1,403,470,605 As shown in the table below, funds in this amount had been deposited in a special Bond Retirement Fund, in the United States Treasury, and have been used either to retire bonds or are available for future retirements. 1 See pp. 21-22. -54- Disposition of Funds Allocated to Bond Retirement Fund Applied to retirement of bon s ... *******........ .**** Deposited with U.

Series "G' bonds, bearing an interest rate of 2-i/. percent, which were outstanding in the amount of $875, 8,625, beoame eligible for redemption and were called for payment on July 1, 1942. Of this issue, bonds amounting to $315,438,625 were retired outright from cash available in the Corporation's Bond Retirement Fund. The remaining $560,000,000 was refunded through the issuance to the Treasury of Series "CQ, July 1, 1943. 1 percent, bonds due As a result of this retirement and refunding operation, substantial savings in interest charges will be realized. The average interest rate on bonds outstanding was reduced from 2.257 percent on June 30, 1941, to 1.928 percent at the close of the 1942 reporting period. A detailed statement of the bond transactions of the Corporation will be found in Exhibit 25. The liquidating program of the Home Ownerst Loan Corporation has made possible a steady reduction in personnel and other administrative expenses during the last several years. Thus, alone, the Corporation was able to reduce its during the 1912 fiscal year personnel from 7,76 and thereby effect an annual salary saving of $4,921,550. - 55 - to 5,228 During the 1912 fiscal year the Corporation was able substantially to contract its field organization. one division office were closed. number of field stations. Two regional offices, nine State offices, and There was also a net reduction of eight in the The latter are small offices which are used as operating centers for field men engaged in loan servicing and property management. They are under the direction of the regional offices of the regions in which they are located. As a result of these actions, the total number of offices of the Corporation on June 30, 1942, was 8 regional offices, one State office, and 39 field stations. Status of Accounts A substantial rise was recorded during the fiscal year 1942 in the number of home owners whose loan payments to the Corporation are being met on schedule. Loan foreclosures have dropped, and a steady upward trend in payments by HOLC borrowers in principal excess of their contractual obligations has been noted. The collection record during 1942 was maintained at a higher level than for any previous fiscal year, totaling $313,852,862, as compared with $293,456,574 for the fiscal year 1911, and $276,158,266 for the fiscal year 1940. the continued need for constant, careful servicing of HOLC accounts is an analysis of the slow progress of some borrowers in to the Corporation. Nevertheless, evidenced by reducing their indebtedness The constant problem of the Corporation is tu build up equity balances of borrowers so that the Corporation's loans may become increasingly safe. Loan Service From the beginning of opbrations, the Home Owners' has serviced its loans on an individual case basis. Loan Corporation This handling of delinquent accounts has enabled the Corporation to discover causes of trouble and in many thousands of cases has led to the working out of programs to - 56 - prevent foreclosure. calls in Trained representatives of the Corporation make personal more serious cases; when the delinquency is is frequently sufficient. In all cases, however, small, direct correspondence every effort is made to help the individual borrower to solve his difficulties. Where it has obviously been necessary and justified, the Corporation under current war conditions, has extended special leniency in wage earner has been inducted into military service. cases such borrowers, in cases where a In the majority of recognition of their military status and reduced income, are given the privilege of making reduced payments usually in an amount sufficient to cover at least interest and taxes. A major servicing measure of the Corporation which has proved advantageous both to the Corporation and to its borrowers is the special procedure which has been set up for the systematic collection of taxes and insurance on mortgagor properties. In the normal course of events, charges for taxes and insurance are levied on an annual basis and in many cases their payment in a lump sum represents a severe hardship. To safeguard the home owner against the accrual of insurance charges and penalties due to tax delinquency, arrangements are made for the payment of taxes and insurance on a systematic monthly installment basis. due, When taxes and insurance come they are paid automatically by the Corporation from the funds paid in by the borrower in this manner. At the end of the fiscal year 1942, a total of 431,213 such accounts had been established. This procedure, in addition to assisting the Corporationts borrowers, has brought about substantial economies in the Corporation ts administrative expenses by eliminating the necessity for searching public tax records to obtain information on tax delinquencies - 57 - The Corporation's servicing activities were considerably broadened in August 1939 with the passage of the Mead-Barry Act. Under the terms of this amendment to the Home Owners, Loan Act, the Corporation was authorized, under certain conditions, to extend the repayment period of borrowers' accounts to a maximum of 25 years. For the most part, the bulk of extension applications submitted to the Corporation had been processed prior to the current reporting period. The books of the Corporation show that 251,170 accounts had been extended through June 30, 1942. The program inaugurated by the Corporation, encouraging certain of its borrowers to pay their accounts ahead of schedule, made notable progress. during 1942. Through this servicing activity, representatives of the Corporation in personal interviews have urged individual borrowers to use the increased incomes they now enjoy either to build up a "prepayment" reserve to take care of future installments during unfo~seen periods of difficulty, or, if possible, to apply excess sums as a direct reduction of principal indebtedness. One measure of the success of the Corporation's overpayment program is found in the fact that 87221 borrowers already were paying in excess of their regular monthly installments on June 30, 1942. Acceleration in the reduction of mortgage indebtedness has, of course, a dual advantage to the Corporation and its borrowers. To the borrower, any reduction in the indebtedness on his home means a corresponding increase in his equity and places him in a better position to meet unforeseen contingencies which may arise before debt-free home ownership is attained. From the Corporation's standpoint, its security position is.strengthened as borrowers are able to reduce the principal amount of their mortgage obligations. In addition, a third aspect to the program has special significance under present-day conditions. Acceleration in debt repayment is anti-inflationary - 58 - in character and to the extent that the Corporation and its jointly successful in borrowers are this new program, the problem faced by the country in combatting a threatening inflationary spiral is materially relieved. Foreclosures Foreclosures authorized by the Corporation on borrowers, accounts after deduction of withdrawals numbered only 3,429 during 1942 as compared The current low rate with 13,091 during 1941, a reduction of 73.8 percent. of foreclosure is another reflection of the stronger financial position of many of the Corporations borrowers.

During the 1942 fiscal-year period, the Corporation's gross operating income from the rental of its properties amounted to $19,528,528. Gross expenses for properties both rented and vacant, exclusive of interest and administrative 6o 6- overhead, amounted to $11,586,897. During the reporting period, the Corporation received a net operating income of $4,941,631. therefore, From the beginning of operations through the close of the reporting period, the net operating income from properties owned by the Corporation totaled $19,356,601. Reconditioning During the fiscal year 1942, reconditioning operations of the Corporation show a decline from the previous reporting period due to fewer property acquisitions and a reduced real estate account. Reconditioning contracts completed during the twelve months ending June 30, 1942, 21,687 in the amount of $9,174,051, as compared with 35,982, numbered involving an expenditure of $11,653,483 during the preceding reporting period. With the growing need for a more intensive use of existing structures as a result of material scarcities and crowded conditions in war industry centers, the unusual experience of the Corporationts Reconditioning Section has been enlisted in housing problems. It an advisory capacity by agencies directly engaged in war has cooperated with the Homes Registration Offices in a program to encourage the repair, modernization, and conversion of private homes to provide additional housing accommodations for war workers. After the adoption of the priorities system for defense housing in the fall of 1941, the Compliance Branch of the War Production Board requested the aid of the Corporation's surveys in trained field investigators to conduct industrial the construction field. During March and April 192, the Reconditioning Section made a special investigation of priority compliance in 284 publicly financed defense housing projects. in the process of construction at the time of investigation. All of these projects were The survey served the dual purpose of checking up on actual compliance with regulations of the War Production Board and emphasizing to contractors and others engaged in building - 61 - operations the necessity of conserving scarce materials for more direct war needs. A second survey was started in May 192 for the War Production Board to check general compliance of the construction industry with the provisions order issued on April 9, the "stop-constructionn of Conservation Order L-41, 1942. The survey continued for a period of sixty days, ending on July 17, 192. During this period, the Corporation's investigators made over 23,000 contacts in 5,503 cities. All of the services performed for the War Production Board in the aforementioned two surveys were provided on a reimbursable basis, including salary, per diem, travel, and other expenses. Appraisals During the current reporting period, the Corporation completed a total of 37,125 appraisals as compared with 60,26h during the preceding fiscal year. The current work load figure includes 9,953 new appraisals and 27,172 reappraisals or supplemental reviews. The rapid changes in property valuations during recent months have necessitated frequent reviews of uorporation appraisals in order to keep this vital and necessary information as up to date as possible. As in the case of the Corporation's reconditioning personnel, a number of war agencies have availed themselves of the services of the trained appraisal staff of the Corporation. During the 19 2 fiscal year, the War and Navy Departnents requested appraisals of properties valued at many millions of dollars. For the Navy Department, in process on June 30, 1942. 560 appraisals had been completed or were An additional 110 projects had been undertaken for the War Department, and 63 for other Government agencies, including the Department of Justice, the Federal Works Agency, and the Procurement Division - 62 - of the United States Treasury. All cooperative appraisal work performed by the Corporation for other Government agencies is done on a reimbursable basis. Financial Operations The progressing liquidation of the Home Owners, Loan Corporation is reflected in a comparison of the Corporation's balance sheet on June 30, 192 (Exhibit 23) with the balance sheet a year previous. The asset side of the balance sheet shows a decrease of 12.6 percent, with the principal declines occurring in the mortgage loan and property accounts.

The Corporation was created in 1918 during World War I for the purpose of housing workers in congested war industry areas. After the Armistice, it was decided that the Corporation should complete projects which were in an advanced stage of construction and that others should be abandoned and the materials salvaged. In accordance with this program, the Corporation completed approxminately 6,000 residential properties located in 26 States and several large hotels in Seattle, Washington, and the District of Columbia.- Most of these properties have been sold or otherwise disposed of. At the end of February 1942, when the United States Housing Corporation was transferred from the Federal Works Agency into the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration, the books of tne Corporation showed that it held an interest in 445 houses and 54 vacant lots. Some 415 of these houses are located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Immediately after the issuance of Executive.Order 9070, the necessary steps were taken to protect the Corporation's interest in these holdings and the Congress was requested to authorize the Federal Home Loan Bank Administration to use $173,000 of the Corporation's own funds to wind up its affairs. This request was granted on July 2, 1942, just after the close of the current reporting period. A program to bring about the speedy liquidation of the United States Housing Corporation was immediately thereafter put into effect. - 65 - ~"raars~UBII~L18I~1~a~lll~llrP~ qggl*ili)sa~~ ~ -- LIST OF EXHIBITS THE YEAR IN RETROSPECT 1.
