interests in that country, to its pres
sun on European countries to COM
pei them to force Liberia to accept
an American financial adviser to the
sending Of an American white South
erner as an "observor' to Liberia,
and to the alleged American dictation
Of q Liberian budget which makes no
allowance for public education, was
voiced here Monday at the State de-
partmnt by a delegation of white and
colored citizens for which DR.. W. E.
B. Dubois, editor of The Crisis, was
spokesman.
The delegation charged that the
Firestone loan of $1,000 900 to Lib
eria was fraudulent and was based
upon the use of slave labor. 1t
charged also that the United States
is trying to negotiate a new agree
ment between Liberia and Firestone
which will put the small nation fur
Their in debt. The delegation also
urged that Liberia be given time to
consider the whole matter and not be
subjected to the ultimatum already
sent (Which the State department de-
nies) demanding acquiescence by
September 1, 1888.
The sending of General Blanton
Winship. a white Southerner, to OBJ
serve in Liberia caused some sharp
exchanges between DR.. Dubois and
William Phillips, assistant secretary
of state, who received the delegation,
and between Mr.. Phillips and DR..
Mordecai Johnson and Miss Dorothy
Deter. Finally. just before the dele
cation left, DR.. Dubois suggested it
would have been much wiser to have
sent a colored American instead OF
General Winship. Mr.. Phillips re-
piled:
Eyes, it might have been wiser"
The conference lasted an hour anc
fifteen minutes. The delegation: DR.

small towns. The building and loan
associations are the institutions pri-
marily equipped to make loans to the
owner occupants of homes in large ana
small communities alike, because they
can furnish wise guidance in the mat
ter of which expenditures to make and
which to avoid.
THE managers of these associations
are in position to have longtime judg-
ment regarding the additions and altera-
tions which might prove to be fad
today and forgotten tomorrow, in con-
traSt to the Improvements which will
enhance the permanent value of the
property. They are accustomed to ap-
praise homes for their value over 10
and II year periods and can apply this
experience today in guiding the would
E1 modernizer.
"One of the difficulties which has
blocked the success of many attempted
moderniZation campaigns in the past
has been that the proponents were
usually people who have something par
ticular to sell the home owner. While
in 9 cases out of 10 the suggested
expenditure might have been entirely
wise, there is bound to be some skepti-
cism on the part of the property owner
when the program is advocated pri-
marlly by those whose interest is in
selling something. A financing agency,
such as the building and loan aSsocia-
ton can correct that situation by ad-
vising with the property owner entirely
on the basis of maintaining the long
time value of the home"

Smaller Cities Need Aid.

The smaller cities and communities
where the great bulk of the population
still lives and the greater portion of
the home maintenance activity would
be carried on should have the same op-
portunities as the metropolitan areas
where the much talked of slum clear
ance projects naturally center. Decen-
tralization of the modernization and
replacement activities would also aid
materially in distributing the employ
ment provided, and prevent an unwise
trek to the cities of the unemployed in

ton on any appreciable scale until
confidence in the security of such in
vestmelt has been materially strength
ened or until some tangible inducement
to return to such enterprise is offered.
This, he believes, should shortly in
crease the market value of existing
properties of the type.
However. the extent to which Wash
ington has fallen behind in the normal
production of apartment house space
may be judged from a study of the
survey just concluded by the F. w.
Dodge Corporation. This survey shows
the normal annual requirements of the
Nation in residential construction of all
types to be 215,000 units. During 1882.
IS 900 such units were provided and the
estimate for 1888 runs no higher. Con-
struction OF apartments in Washington
during this period was little, if any,
above the average for cities of its class"

"Undoubling"-the process of disin-
tegration of households drawn together
in group living arrangements through
the necessity for retrenching-is seen as
causing an acute shortage of medium
priced apartments by Morton j. Luchs,
realtor.
The trend is already rejecting a
strong demand for two, three and four
room accommodations, he reports.
This with several other unusual
factors combine to create a condition

mot more houses. but better houses,
constitute the actual need Of the coun-
try in the residential property field"
says I. Friedlander of Houston, Tex.
chairman of the Home Building and
Home Owning Committee of the league.
This means that we need a strenu-
GUS campaign for home maintenance
throughout the country. 'ModerniZa-
ton is the term more usually applied.
but in our conception the real cruX of
the matter is the maintenance of the
value which now exists in a home, not
so much by making it fashionable as by
making it comfortable, according to
modern standards of living.
The major Importance of providing
adequate financing for 'moderniZation'
or maintenance projects lies in the
need for employment in the conStruc-
ton trades, need which could largely
be met by a strenuous undermining
campaign among the home owners who
have equities to protect. The immediate
Importance of such a program is en-
hanced by the September figures on
the number and cost of additions and
repairs and alterations contracted for.
Expenditures for these projects recorded
by the Department of Labor we're 164
per cent greater in September, 1888,
than in the same month a year ago.
1t appears that the modernization gos-
pei is beginning slowly but surely to
catch the public imagination, and there
fore there should be no more delay than
is absolutely necessary in pushing ahead
with the program.
