MORATORIUM ON MORTGAGES TO BE CONSIDERED The Ontario Government has not- ified the provincial agricultural devel- opment board which holds $35,000,000 of farm mortgages not to foreclose under any circumstances when mort- gagees are unable to meet their obli- gations. • "The. province holds a greater num- ber of farm mortgages than any pri- vate company," said Attorney- Gener- al W. H. Price,. acting Prime Minis- ter, who revealed the Government's action in regard to farm mortgages announcing that the Government would bring down legislation at the next session of the Legislature to provide for a modified Moratorium on mortgages. "We .realize that in these tinges of financial stness people who otherwise would be able to meet their pay- ments are in considerable difficulty. and the Government is anxious to help thein over this period of finan- cial stringency," said Col. Price. "I have asked loan companies to be len- ient in this regard and t have also approached sheriffs and bailiffs and made the same request. But there is no legislation at present providing for relief and the, Governmertirttends to. leave the .entire matter discussed on the floor of the Legislature with a view to some form of legislation," The acting Prime Minister stated 11 a person fell behindon his inter- est payments the principal became due. When the proposed legislation would seek to do would be to pre- vent the mortgage being foreclosed. A mortgagee facedwith the loss of his property could apply to the court 1 and secure an extension of time if the court was satisfied that he was entitled to assistance.

Many people depended on interest payments on mortgages"fox their in- ccme and to legislate then out of these payments would work a hard- ship in many instances, "The whole problem is an intricate one," said the Attorney -General.. "Some action will undoubtedly be ta- ken and the whole question will be brought before the House for discus- sion.' Col. Price recalled that a similar situation existed during the war days and a moratorium on mortgages was then declared.
