Frederick c. Howe, one OF the
foremost writer's on governmental
problems, points the way for Amer
lean cities by telling them of the
city of Dusseldorf in Germany, in
the December number of Hamp-

business men who do not believe in
socialism.
The cities is Americas problem
of problems, declares Mr. Howe. It's
solution will not be found i'm a bu-
siness administration. It's solution
does not lie in merely putting good
men In office, or in finding better
political tools, such as the Des
Moines plan.
The solution consists i'm making
the city a humanized entity, with
purposes and plans, with foresight
and dreams, with humanity and
generosity; it consists in abolishing
poverty and the cost of poverty. in
training the people properly, in
raising their standards of living, of
