BILL OFFERS CHANCE
FOR EVERY WORKER
TO HAVE OWN HOME
Kenyon Introduces Second of His In.
dustrial Welfare Measures--WouId
Create Commission.
BY L. c. MARTIN.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Ken
yon today introduced a bill providing
for study and a report to congress on
a plan to enable every man worker to
own his home.
1t Is the second of progressive SEN
ators' industrial welfare" bills. The
first was Kenyon's unemployment bill,
creating an emergency board to pro-
vide work when unemployment is
widespread.
The home owners bill, Introduced
today, creates commission of six
which is directed to study:
I. Existing methods in tho
United States Of financing the
building and buying of homes for
persons of modest means.
2. The effect of these methods
in stimulating or retardng in
vestment of capital in homes and
in controlling the quality, location
and cost of them.
3. Methods followed in other
countries.
The commissions report to congress
is to be made by January l, 1920, and
is to contain recommendations for inn
provemcnts in present American meth
DDS.
Kenyons idea Is that the govern.
ment should extend aid to workers tC
the extent of financing them in mucl
the same way as aid is now giver
farmers under the farm loan act.
"Such policy, if inaugurated on :
sound basis and wisely administered
by the government, would erect bui'

mobile any army Germany might
gather.
The French, 1t is charged. in on
posing American suggestions for eco
nomic concessions to Germany are
trying to make it appear that the AM
orleans are favoring the Germans
whereas, the Americans are merely
trying to apply the rule of common
sense. For instance, in manufacturing
after peace is signed France and Bel
GUM will be given preference in
shipment of raw materials. But the
French want German factories to be
held impotent until France is thor
oughly restored industrially and able
to compete on an equal basis.
HOW CAN HUN PAY2
Both the British and Americans ap-
preciate shat France is handicapped
through Wanton destruction of her
plants by the Germans, but the qtses-
ton arises as to how money may be
expected to be obtained from Ger
many for reparation If she is not per-
mitted to go to work and earn it.
And there is always the possibility
that Germany's delicately balanced po-
litical situation may be overturned by
unjust measures and the whole coun-
try thrown into chaos. Another fact
contributing to the situation is that
early statements regarding indemnity
claims were based on the idea of TAX
ing territory in lieu of money Since
| it has become evident that the old
| grabbing policy" will not be toler-
ated, adjustment of ideas has become
necessary.
