j. s. To AID IN
HOUSING PROBLEM
Studies Mode in Methods of
Meeting Congestion in En-
rope Show Government Must
Assist Wage Garner.
BY Victor Elliott.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Foresee-
ing a demand that the United States
government help to solve the housing
problem Of the congested industrial
centerS OF the country, the bureau Of
labor statistics has just issued a bull
letin showing the extent to which gov
eminent aid is extended to home own
ing and housing of workers in foreign
countries. This aid in Europe and
Australia is shown to have been
very completely developed. Officials
dealing with the question have come
TO the belief that only the state can
adequately meet the difficulty Of Sc
curing decent living quarters for fac
tory operatives and other wage-wOrk-
ers in great cities.
Ten international congresses upon
housing have marked the growth OF
this conviction, and its adoption as a
permanent social policy. The accept
ed view abroad is that the govern
ment must Systematically regulate,
encourage and financially assist the
wage-workers either to build or rent
at reasonable figures sanitary and
wholesome dwellings
The form in which aid is given by
the general or local governments
usually is found in one Of three class
ed. Either the government builds
houses directly, for rent or for sale
TO fits employees or for the working
people generally; or it loans public
funds to local authorities, non-cOm-
mercial building associations, employ
ers or individuals, or ii grants eXemp-
tons from taxes, or other subsidy TO
building associations or others.
National enterprises in the building
of homes for sale or rental to gov
eminent employees are found in Aus
| tria, Germany, Hungary and Rou-
mania. State of provincial home
building of the same sort is done in
| Germany, Switzerland and Roumania,
and municipal BODYBUILDING for civil

He gave a decision TO a man that
was as completely knocked out as a

him because the knockout punch was
delivered in the last six seconds Of
