hold developments for five years and
not have very acute housing prob
lem. But, unless the unforeseen
happens, the two hundred and fifty
thousand and more will find shelter
and food and means Of travel.
They Need the Money
The English are sincere in the
scheme for opening their homes to
paying guests. First, they need re-
EQUIPMENT of their income. England
has been taxed to the limit, until it
hurts. Then the plan will do a
great deal toward establishing per-
sonal friendly relations. Neither
the British nor the Continental hotel
is the place to go to learn the people.
1t is the last place.
The scheme calls for registering
all available rooms and to keep a
record of vacancies as they occur.
This will apply to hotels as we'll as
to people in private homes who sig
nifty their willingness to take pay
ing guests. That the cost of living
in England is prohibitive is an ex-
aggeration. Costs in London CON-
pare favorably with those of New
York. You can get a room and
breakfast in a respectable hotel for
$3.50 and go as far beyond that as
your tastes and requirements dictate.
You can ride seventy miles for about
$3.50, and if you wish to walk you
will be able to buy shoes cheaper
here than in America. Good, sub
stantial shoes are still to be bought
for 81 or So, according to the present
value Of the pound sterling in ex-
change. There is shortage of
sugar and butter, but seeming
abundance of other things to COM
pensate for their lack.
