OTTAWA (CP)———Canadians soon may be able to obtain bank loans by putting up automobiles. televis- ion sets. furniture and other house- hold goods as security.

The Commons bankingv commit- tee Monday approved an amend- ment to the Bank Act allowing chartered banks to lend money on chattel mortgages for the first time in history.

Ad ptinn came as the committee corn eied a three-month study of the decennial reylslon of banking legislation which requires approval of both Houses of Parliament be- fore it becomes law.

However. Finance Minister Ah- bott said he had discussed the chat- tel mnrtgage idea with the cabinet and said his colleagues had no ob- jections to it. indicating govern- ment support in parliament.

At Dresent. banks lend money to individuals who can deposit gov- ernment loans and similar negoti- able securities as collateral. also is common practice for banks to lend on an individual's signa- ture. with another person signing the note as guarantor of the loan. GBOWEltS' BID IIEJEGIED

The committee took these other steps: .

i. It rejected a bid by R. E. An- derson (I.—Norfolk) to give fruit and vegetable growers priority over banks in getting payment from bankrupt cannon. Mr. Ab- bott said to give the growers what they want would destroy the ef- fectiveness of section all of the Bank Act. dealing with bank loan security. 2. Agreed to enforce retirement of bank directors at the age of ‘Iii years. effective July 1. 1950. 3. Rejected a final attempt by J. M.

Under a loans‘ discounting sys- tem. the Canadian Bank of Com- merce charged less than ll per cent for a personal loan compared to 24 per cent by small loans com- panies. Mr. Mcxinnon said.

The legal limit for bank loan in- terest is six per cent a year and committee members wondered how one bank could charge more than that. But Mr. McKlnnon assured them he had obtained a legal opin- lon that his charges are lawful. He suggested the maximum bank rate be boosted. but the committee re- lectrd this.

Wiley, Wisconsin Republican, said news of the shipment was "alarming" and "of the utmost gravity." but he told the diplo- mats in his prepared remarks that the situation is not one for United States concern alone.

"It is a hemispheric concern." he said. "It is a basis for hemis- pheric consultation."

The state department announce- mcnt, which gave no details of the size or nature of the shipment, said it was made from the port of Stettin in Communist Poland. and the arms are now being unloaded in Guatemala.

Wiley said the shipment is "part of the Communist global pattern of force and violence" and is “to- tally disproportionate to any leg- itimate needs of that country. It is a shipment contrary to the best interests of all that for which the organization of American States stands."

Finance Minister Abbott made the announcement in the Com- mons following protests during the recent budget debate by rural members on both sides of the House.

The total number of wounded at the fortress has been estimated at between 1.300 and 2,000.
