special session of the legislature,
called to consider the housing prob
lem. met here today with the five re-
elected Socialists In their seats In the

Governor Smith will send mes
sage to the Legislature reciting
the necessity OF Immediate relief TO

is little doubt that Il law will be

IL is probable that sum of money
viii be appropriated to cover pressing
emergencies. The members Of the
Legislature are almost n unit in sup
porting the declaration that some
thing must be done at once in the in
terest Of public health and morality.
Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt voiced
the views of most of his fellow legis-
lators when told that part of the diff
ficulty was due to the unwillingness
OF landlords TO admit families with
children.
"a man who would close the doors
OF his house against q family of
children Is not nj to be an American"

be room in Jail for him."

In stating the motives which influenced

This frank expression OF confidence in

turbance Of the worlds peace by finding 4
solution satisfactory to both dsputants in
any given case, from the official representa-
tive OF n country which has so much at stake
dear to the heart of every Swedish citizen,
Will carry tremendous weight in fortifying
the claims OF league supporters as to its
working efficiency, even under the handicap
OF one of the principal world powers failure
to lend the strength Of its participation to

Particularly timely is Premier Branting's
suggestion that "al the league needs to
