tion; he Is certain of getting his in
flux of tenants as fast as he COM

want a profit, but merely his money
back with interest. A freak COM

Finally. Uncle Sam wants tho bene-
fits to go unfailingly to the workers.
Speculators Are Barred.
No spectators must be allowed to
interpose their useless activities, or
exploit the workers. Rents must be
based on costs and not on the maxi
mum that the well paid workers can
be mulcted for. Landlordism must be
kept out.
Uncle Sam wants no profit for him
self and he is anxious that no one
else shall squeeze in and make any
profit, either. For after all, this is
public money and must not serve
directly or indirectly to enrich any
one.
So. naturally. there follows the
great idea of selling these thousands
Of houses and lots not to individuals,
but to the new communities as q
whole. to be held in perpetual trust as
community property. yielding flow

When we entered the great war.
certain Of our industrial centers be-
gan to get war orders on huge scale
orders for shells, guns. motor
trucks, shoes-all kinds of things.
Vast new factories were rushed to
completion and the manufacturers be-
gan to shout for labor-skilled labor,
unskilled. any kind. They boosted
wages to attract an adequate army of
workers. Mechanics began to get
wages Of 81, So up to SIS day.
Nevertheless the factories were Grip
pied. the output was slack. the quail
ity uncertain. for although labor
came. 1t promptly went away again.
Some factories were hiring 5000 men
a year to maintain a force of 1000.
High wages seemed unavailing.
To Meet Need for Houses.
Then the manufacturers realized
that as fast as they raised wages.
local landlords raised rents. Ten dol
lars a day in the gun plant sounded
fine to chauffeur until he found that
there was not decent vacant place
in the town to live in for less than
$40 a day. New houses were not be-
ing built because building costs were
temporarily very high. The manu-
facturers saw the landlords could
continue to raise rents to match ris-
ing wages indefinitely. So still higher
wages offered no solution-the need
was for houses.
At the new shipyards of the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation the problem
of housing was especially urgent.
New shipyards are too big to be put
in city, SO most Of them are in
places where population is sparse.
So Uncle Sam has come to the
rescue and allotted $100.000,o00 for
such housing. That's only a starter.
although 1t will accommodate upward
Of 10000 people.
Temporary Houses Waste Of Money
The hrst thought was to provide
temporary barracks, bunk-houses,
ETC., more or less like the canton
ments. But wives and children can't
stand that and 60 per cent Of the
shipworkers are married. Temporary
houses are a waste of money. costing
within 10 per cent Of as much as
permanent houses, but being a COM
as permanent houses will remain an
asset after the war, except, perhaps,
for shrinkage in value due to a
drop in building costs.
Nearly all those towns will be
permanent, with houses Of a type
satisfactory to the best skilled labor.
hundred here. a thousand there, and
as high as ten thousand in one or two
places.
New Suburbs Formed.
New suburbs will be formed with
towns covering whole square miles
of vacant countryside with pretty lit
tie houses, boarding places, stores
and theaters, paved streets and all
utilities, expertly laid out by the
foremost town planners and archi-
tects in America, such as John
Nolen, Owen Brainerd, Frederick Law
Olmstead and Robert Anderson Pope.
Houses must conform to certain
wholesome standards devised by Law
renee veiller OF the National Housing
Association.
Haste is the main thing in these
new towns, but beauty and good taste
have not been forgotten. Planned and
built as they are by able men in single
large operations. they Will show to
Americans many Of the best examples
of harmonious real estate develop
ments we had yet seen-by far the
best housing and neighborhood con-
ditions that American labor has yet
enjoyed.

Towns Can Help Farmers.

There IL an opportunity now for ur-
ban people sympathetically and con-
structively to study the farm-labor sit
uation and to render assistance, said
David F. Houston. secretary Of agri-
culture. in a recent statement. In
many towns and cities there are men
who have had farming experience, who
are able-bodied and who doubtless
would be willing to serve the nation
in the field Of agriculture at this time
Especially for the seasonal strains Of
planting, cultivating and harvesting, 1t
will not be too much to ask such men
to aid the farmers in the necessary un-
dertaking Of maintaining and. II posi-
BILE. supplementing, the food supply in
order to feed the armies and to sustain
the civilian population behind them.
II 1t appears that the farmers Of a
community or region are not able to
secure the necessary labor by the usual
methods. then the leaders in the town
or city Immediately dependent upon
that region should organize, establish
touch with representative farm lead
ers, and see If they cannot assist in
solving the problem. The department
Of agriculture and labor will render
every possible aid, but each community
knows its own problems, and urban
people, especially business men, could
cooperate effectively with the farmers
and also render much assistance.
