 John T. Flynn, business econo. mist, sums up the economic soundness of the whole projact. by stating: "Slums are one luxury that we've got to get rid of. Our cities and towns are In no posi-. ton to go on supporting them in the expensive decay to which they are accustomed. So the federal government ia taking . hand.

 Last September, however, the Balkan governments began to rub their eyes. stretch and peer at the changes which the Nazi upheaval had wrought in the European po- litlcal landscape.
 Pricking their ears, the Balkan diplomatista, caught German words which had Q faintly familiar ring,
 In pre-war days, Wilhelm II was the exponent of what his profess sorial subjects termed Germany's push -the-aast (Drangnaeh Os- ten). German financial and eco- homie penetration of southeastern Europe bore witness to the sucoess of that policy, which was to have been crowned by the construction of the Berlin Bagdad railwNy. But the war thwarted the frultion of that ambitious project.
 Balkans Becoming Unified
 Since Hitler's rise to power, Germany has been enunciating slogans reminiscent of the Dfang- mach -Osten. Just the kaiser's pol- icy of expansion to the east rallied Serbia, Rumania and Polish and Czechoslovakian legionnaires to the allied banner, the specter of an eastward pushing dermafiy today is unifying the Balkan peninsula.
 Alfred Hugenberg, thcn Hitler's minister of economies, startled the world economic conference, to which he was leading dele- gate, by publishing G memoran- dunn, demanding m outlet for German energy and enterprise in easterp Europe. The Moscow gov ernment interpreted this outburst as . German bid for Soviet Ukraine territory; the Baltic states suspected Hitler of coyeting their soil; and the Balkan nations heard echoes of the Drang-nach- osten,

 Secretary of the Interior 1ckes, in a statement outlining the pur. pose of the Emergency Housing Corporation, says: "We hopo to speed up housing in localities where private and public bodies are having difficulty in getting started. We cannot wait for slug- gard local governments, often handicapped by local real estate dealers with no vision, The Cor. poration will lend money to any private corporation which will un- dertake to clear away sluma or build houses at low cost. 1t will lend to cities, states or counties for the same purpose.

 Russia's approach to these slav states, coupled with the recent im- provement of relations between Jugoslavia and Bulgaria, caused some zealous commentators to speak and write of q revival of -slavlsm. But to assume that the Soviet regime intends to adopt the aims and methods of Czarist Russia in the Balkans Is utterly to ignore the anti-imperialist policy of Moscow. It is precisely because the Balkan countries are con vinced that Russia does not covet an inch of their soil that they are turning towards Moscow in q spirit of friendship after 16 years of mingled suspIeIon and hostIlity.

 The display is two feet high, built in Watkins living room. A landscape in tho backRround gives 1t m added realistic touch. Tho scene wra copied from Lancaster, Pa, farm.
 Except for the animals and small gureg which were purchased at a local i've and ton cent store, Wat kins said the miniature was made from q packing box.
 More than a thousand tiny sfin- gles cover the roof of the house and barn. Other tiny squares of wood were polished for the living room floor in the miniature house which is less than q foot square. A carpet Is on the floor and n wind ing staircase in the hall leads to the second floor.

 Another factor influences the move. Perhaps more than most other businesses, German restaur- ants have felt the depression, and many a small owner would well come even the limited profit ob- tainabie by serving meals to the needy.

BRING OUTPUT CUT
Longshoremen's Strike and
Drought Held Down
Purchases.

In reducing the lumber industry's
authorized production volume for the
fourth quarter of 1884 by ~ per cent
under that of the third quarter, the
Lumber Code Authority was prompted
largely by the fact that stocks on
hand at the mills, with the single
exception Of August, 1884, has steadily
increased month by month since the
depression low point was recorded, in
July, 1888.
1t is hoped that the August decline

will prove the beginning Of q down.
ward trend that will be maintained
until q proper balance can be estab-
lished between production and de-
mand, but inasmuch as increased
demand anticipated from the better
housing program could not be expected
to affect mill stocks markedly during
the first few months Of the campaign,
the Lumber Code Authority has felt
it wiser to correct the mill stock situa-
ton by direct and immediate action.
Figures Compared.
On July 1, 1893, mill stocks were
1850, 900, 900 feet; on January !, 1884,
they were 7,790, 100000 feet; on July
l, 1894, nearly $500, ,000, 900 feet. Au-
gust l, 1884, stocks were reported as
10000, 900 feet above those Of July /,
1884. AS far as now may be deter
mined, however, September / stocks
were about per cent under those of
the month before, totaling approx
mately $780, 100000 feet. In 1929
stocks were about one-third of produc-
ton; now they are approximately one
half Of the estimated output of 1894.
Lumber shipments during the Sec
ond quarter Of 1884 and in July were
seriously curtailed in the West Coast
producing regions by the longshore-
mems and other strikes. Drought has
been a factor in reducing the demand
in a wide section Of the country.
Still another early Summer factor
delaying orders from the retail trade
was the long delay In authorization

The lower schedules did materialize
on July 16 when the Lumber Code
Authority was finally permitted to an
nounce 10 per cent reduction as an
aid to stimulating demand under the
liberal financing provisions Of the
Federal housing act.
Control Started in 1898.
Production control became an estab-
hshed practice in the lumber Industry
when the lumber code went into effect
on August %, 1888. The Lumber
Code Authority, in fixing regional pro-
duction quotas, has been inclined to
hberality primarily for the purpose oi
furnishing employment to maximum
number Of workers at mill and timber
operations. Moreover, the hope has
been constantly entertained that de-
mand would pick up through an in
creased volume of construction. While
that hope is now held more strongly
than ever, the authority has felt that
under the circumstances both en-
ployers and employees can be best
served by curtailing production with
a view to an Immediately improved
relationship between shipments and
production.
