tons nor material organizations have
supported it with honesty.
The time has come for the ~recogni-
ton that something drastic must be
done in order hat persons Of mod.
crate means may be enabled to build
homes for themselves. In order to
accomplish this result it must be
recognized that all elements in the
community have a partnership inter
est in the construction of proper
dwellings for the housing Of their
people. This partnership is one
which must be realized in a definite
and concrete way my material men,
labor organizations and contractors.
1t must also be realized by those who
loan money for purposes Of invest
ment.
Today there is a serious speculative
element in building within almost all
Of the larger communities Of the COuu-
try, and this affects the rates at which
money is loaned for building purposes.
Conditions must be established by
each Of the groups interested
in the building industry may receive
treatment and by which the pub
lie will also receive fair treatment.
Nobody is benefited by a situation
which leads to permanent stagnation
IN the building industry, and least Of
all those who are particularly inter
ested in the building trades. All
groups ~pecuniarily interested in these
must make sacrifices and all
should be willing to sacrifice for the
public good. A real partnership OF
endeavor to better the building situa-
ton will lead to definite and concrete
The general public, which
most from the present situa-
ton, is not easily aroused. This pub.
lie was aroused in many Of the larger
communities of the country against
.profiteering landlords. 1t will be
aroused against labor organizations,
material men and contractors, unless
these several interests set their own
houses in order. A constructive pro-
gram for better housing renders it
that all of these groups
cease their present improper practices.

The National managers OF political

the return to the system of nominat-

back to the old system this year, and
in Maine both parties have declared
I'm their platforms for the adjustment
of direct primaries and a return to the

wisconsin, which leads the a with

 It is impossible adequately to characterize the European factionalsts in this country who would drag the American people into the web of intrigue which enmeshes the Old World. The American who would sacrifice the welfare and safety of the United States by accepting the leadership of Europe, rather than maintain our complete national independence with an invitation to the rest of the world to follow American leadership in international affairs if it cares to do so, is sadly lacking in an ur- derstanding of the failure of Europe or of the success of America as illustrated in the visible results of contrasting ideals and policies.
