EVENING. APRIL q
P1.AN.rA1iK TO GERMANY.
The note of the allied council to
the German government was couched

>S h note of the allied council to
the German government was couched
in terms so plain that its meaning
should filter even into the German
consciousness. And, withal, 1t was
so calm and temperate in tone that
even its moderation gave it additional
strength. In plain words the Ger
mans are told that they must pro-
coed promptly,and diligently with the
execution Of the agreements which
they have been made before further
proposals Of any. kind cmanating
from them will even &c examined.
They are informed, moreover, with
equal d~irectncss., that unless they dc
this the Allies will proceed to occupy
more German territory i'll order to
enforce compliance, although the in
tent permanently to annex German
territory is specifically disavowed.
The fact is that Germany has
played with tho peace terms. She
has shown no disposition to be gov
crned by them. She has failed to
comply properly with a single n of
tho more important provisions. She
has not shown the slightest DISPOSE
ton to reduce her army to the re-
uuired basis. While making appeals
and pressing demands for permission
to maintain an army, of double the
size provided for in the treaty she
has actually kept under arms as
much of her former military estab-
lishment as she could maintain under
the circumstances. She a failed
to comply with the agreement for the
surrender of ships except when com
pliancc was forced upon her. Beg
gins and pleading for a reduction in
monetary indemnities she has failed
TO take any steps for the raising of
any indemnity funds whatever. She
has signed a compact with the very
evident intent of haggling over its
terms before she undertook to ex-
ccute any of them, her manifest pur-
pose being to continue the hasgling
after each successive yielding on the
part Of the Allies until, ultimately.
the whole treaty; with all it's provi-
sions, would disappear in the dim
distance. She needs to be brought
up with a short turn, and the recent
Allied note ought to accomplish the
trick.

THE HOUSING PROBLEM.

The housing problem in it's present
acute form is not confined to Grand
Forks, nor, for that matter, to the
United States Leaving aside those
countries which have been torn by
revolution, we find that there is a
shortage of dwelling places in France,
outside The war area, in Great Brit
ain, in Australasia, in Canada and in
the United States. If data were
available WI should doubtless find
that similar conditions prevail in
practically every civilized country in
the world.
The reason for this condition is
not far to seek. Six years ago the
world went to war, ind when it went
to war it discontinued building
houses, as well as doing a great
many other things which it had been
accustomed to do. During those six
years several million peoples we're
killed, but the slaughter, after an, re-
moved but a small fraction of the
population of the major countries in
Vowed, while otherwise the popula-
ton increased at about it's normal
rate, while, due largely to war con-
ditions, the demand for dwellings of
the better class, notably in the Unit
ed States, increased even more rap
idly than did the population.
We are experiencing today the ac-
cumulated shortage of six years, and
instead Of being able to build six
times as rapidly. as usual, I'M order
to catch UP, we find conditions to-
day which keep the rate Of building
actually away below normal. The
