S. W. Straus Recommends
"OWn Your Own Horne"
and "BuiId Now"

Two slogans that should haye the
most widespread popularity IN Amer

and Build Now" says S. w. Straus
a prominent, New York banker.
They signify movements that are
from every agency. both public and
private" he said "Notwithstand anding
the efforts being made to revive the
building industry and correct insult
of construction work now going on
throughout the country ia not equal
to normal demands. and conditions are
daily growing more serious.
Much of the present stagnation is
due to Il feeling on the part of many
that construction costs Will he cheaper
later on. AS a result hesitation ex-
lists everywhere, buildings become
more scarce and rents continue to
mount higher.
There is ample capital in the coun-
try to finance the construction pro-
gram necessary TO restore normal con-
ditions. Just as soon as the public
generally comes to understand that
building costs cannot go lower-that
the tendency, on the contrary. is to-
ward higher levels-we shall see a
quick resumption of the building in
dustry.
Fundamental Conditions Noted.
THE fundamental conditions which
will prevent recession from present
general price levels may be enumer-
ated as follows:
'1-Constantly increasing scale of
wages. and universal tendency toward
shorter working hours.
"2-Shortage of unskilled labor
''3-Inflated credit conditions which
depreciate the purchasing power of
the dollar.
"4-Present abnormal shortage of
buildings in the United States and in
all allied countries.
"5-TremendOuS amount of neceS-
sary public construction work of all
kinds.
"6-Tendency toward better stand
