 II that must be solved in Birmingham. Not only must there be more houses, but they must be of a type affording the maxi mum of conveniences at a minimum rental
 It is estimated by persons who have made study of the subject that not more than 20 per cent of a mans wages or sal ary should go towards rent In normal times the great majority of wage earners earn around S60 month. On the percent age basis the monthly rental paid by this class should not exceed SIP.
 It is also estimated that to make resi- dence property profitable to the owner it should earn 10 per cent gross. On this basis house renting for SIP month should not cost to exceed S1440, including the ground.
 That industrial plants cannot be oper- ated without employees is self evident. That money withdrawn from it's treasury to build homes for it's employees is that much money withdrawn from industrial expan-1 sion is also self evident.
 Manufacturing concerns are OfganlZeQ for the purpose of manufacturing, not home building But their employees must have houses in which to live.
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, in it's great development at Fair field, found 1t necessary to build over 1000 houses for it's employees. These will ac- commodate about 1000 employees and a population of about 5000, according to the estimate of five persons to each wage earner Ten thousand men will be en- ployed at Fairfield when all the plants are in operation Therefore, 10000 houses will be needed, assuming that each en- ploye is the head of family. Or calcu lated on basis of 50 per cent of the en- ployes being married not less than 5000 houses will be required to accommodate them.
 Some of these houses will be occupied by skilled workmen earning good wages and of course, to meet their demands, a better and more expensive type of house will have to be built. Assuming the aver age monthly rental of all employees to be s2O, little calculating on the basis of the annual rental equalling 10 per cent of the cost will show the average cost of the houses to be S2400.
 Two thousand houses at an average cost of S2400 each amounts to $4 ,80O,OOO. Thus it will be seen that if the corporation is compelled to provide houses for its em- ployes S4,800,000 will be withdrawn from the manufacturing end of it's business.
 The Tennessee Coal; Iron and Railroad company and all other industrial concerns would much prefer to- devote all their re- sources to manufacturing the purposes for which they are organized.

Treaty goes far to diminish the
authority of the Covenant of Ma

few clear cases before the Confe-.
renee. The German lease was ex-
torted from China on the pretext
of compensation for the Staying of
the German ambassador by the
Boxers. Germany capitalized her

gion where shaky titles abound,
hers was morally and legally the
worst. Japan drives. out Ger

Now Japan's occupancy of Shan
tung is not a compromise, but a
fragrant breach of the letter and
spirit of the Covenant. In CON
senting to it Mr Wilson has can
celled one of the fairest pages in
American diplomacy. The only
apology made for the surrender is
that otherwise Japan would not
have joined the League of Nations.

shown that she declines to be
bound by one of it's constituent
principles, An added chagrip to

then to find that the Conference,
which had yielded readily where
it should have stood firm, stood
firm where it might well have conn
promised. Asman who is stubborn

renee the ordinary decencies of
deliberate procedure, and without
the Conference decision and judg-
tment. The issue of Fiume, being
involved in the treaty with Aus

ped that the Conference will give
weight to such considerations as
these:
