HOOVER OFFERS
HIS VIEWS UPON
HOME SHORTAGE
Secretary of Commerce Feels
More Money for Building
Will Solve Problem.

Replying to a letter addressed by
M. Morgenthau, jr., president of the
M. Morgenthau. jr., Company, OF
Jamaica and New York City, to
President Harding on the housing
situation, Secretary of Commerce
Herbert Hoover has sent Mr.. Nor
genthau a copy of a letter addressed
by him to President Harding regard
Ing this matter.
In this letter Hoover takes the
same position Morgenthau does,
namely, that the housing situa ton
can be considerably helped by pro-
viding cheaper and more money for
building purposes. He says:
There is one problem that has
q distinct national character that
would certainly fall within Senator
Kings vision and upon which ma
tional thought could be advanced by
conference; that is. the mobilization
of finance of home building. We
have modified the commercial cap
ttal Of the country through the Fed.
eral Reserve banks.
I'VE have modified the farm
mortgage capital through the Farm
Loan Bureau. We are considering
mobilizing production capital for
the farmers through another organi-
zation. The country badly needs
4 mobilization of the home building
capital based upon our building and
loan associations, insurance COM
panies and savings banks. We have
q sound foundation upon which to
build some sort of structure that
would cheaper home building capital
give 1t more mobilitz to all regions
and afford greater security. A con-
ference to conisder this problem
would be of great value"
Mr.. Hoover estimates the shortage
OF homes throughout the United
States at nearly a million. He says
that his department has largely ex-
hausted, he believes. the possibility
Of community action. Thus they
have appointed a committee to try
to correct the expensive require
ments of municipal building rules of
which Ira II. Woolson is chairman:

SIX GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS

Hamilton Holt, speaking ut lun-
, cheon in New York in celebration of
former President Wilson's sixty-ffth
birthday, said that Mr.. Wilson had
done five great things and that any
one of them would "assurs him a
foremost place in history" The five
great achievements listed by Mr..
Holt were as follows:
Coalesence of the heterogeneous
ideas in connection with the war into
one idea-democracy.
His statement that in the war we
wanted nothing.
The driving of an effective wedge
between the Hohenzollerns and the
German people.
The first outline of the basis of
peace.
The expression of the thought that
the nations should substitute coopera-
ton for competition.
A volume could be written under
each of these heads, for each of these
achievements was of tremendous i'm
portance. Nor can Mr.. Wilson's bit
terest enemy deny him credit for.
any one of them. Perhaps of them all
the first and the fifth are the great
est. Without the first the war could
not have been won. Without the fifth
there would be no hope for civiliza-
ton today.
There is a sixth achievement of Mr.,
Wilson which, although it is a copal-
larry of the fifth and in Mr.. Holt's
summary is implicit in it, really de-
serves separate mention. Mr.. Wilson
did more than express the thoughts of
international cooperation in place Of
competition. Against tremendous
odds nd almost single-handed at Par
is, he established the principle of in
cooperation and wrote it
into the Treaty. It would &c the ec-
cepted rule of conduct of the nations
today if the American people had not
permitted themselves to be buncoed
by a lot of the smallest and most un-
scrupulous politicians that ever in
tested any country-Charlesto
