>. For sociological and economic
reasons il is desirable to interest the
nation in home building. Tho build
ing and loan associations of the
country suggest such legislation as
will establish n Federal system of
home loan banks, to DO for the urban
home builder what the Federal farm
loan banks do for the farmers.
3. There is now appropriated by
the Federal Government and avail
able to the States more than $4S, S,0OO,-
900 for Federal aid in road building.
This will be Increased. Every State
in the Union needs road extensions
and improvements. Immediate re-
sumption and extension OF the road
building throughout the country will
be most helpful in providing All-in
employment.
Sole Danger In Neglect.
The only possibility of serious en-
barrassment for the country, despite
all that is said about extremists and
anarchy, rests in neglecting the com
paratively simple problems Of our
transition period. 4 year or two
from now, it is reasonable to believe,
our industrial machinery will have
established new records for peace
production. II the labor market then
inspires some anxiety, it will be on
account of shortage rather than labor
surplus.
The release of men from the army
and war industries has produced
labor surplus. This condi-

Beans will go farther than theory
in turning a hungry man from dis

bullets are radical. When there are
many "isms" floating about the
United States Department of Labor
is urging Federal, State. municipal,
and private interests to go in for
bean diplomacy as the sane, safe
way of meeting further spreading of
disorderly social views.
Secretary Of Labor Wilson, before
the Senate and House Joint Commit
tee on Labor, emphasized the ,pru-
dence Of stimulating. such building
and construction swork as will fur
nish buffer employment for labor
during the few months of transition
from war mobilization to peace oc-

confidence in the country's ability
eventually to absorb the available

Industrial activity throughout the
country, but warned against ignoring
the presence in America of an extreme
social philosophy which thrives on
empty stomachs and idleness.
Three Big Aids.
In the opinion of the Division Of

of the Department of

things the Federal Government can
do, TO assure an easy, orderly transi-

peace basis in industry and business.
