FRIENDLY ENEMIES"

That automobile ride which Gen. eral Johnson and Clarence Darrcw took together at the height of tleir disagreement was notable chiefly for the things which went unsaid but which were taken for granted between them.
 Johnson kept guiding the con- versation away from the MIRA row toward commonplace things: but he did it with good humor which Darrow well understood
 The message which seemed to pass back and forth was translated something like this by one who was present. We got into a mess where we'll have to say some more hard things about each other. but

that England, with one-third Of the
population of the United States, has
been building 500, 900 dwelling units
year. right through the depression.
That country has q national mortgage
banking system and habit of re-
garding housing as investment. The
United States built about $4,000 new
dwelling units last year and is build
ing about 10000 thi year (although
this years program included higher
grade units than last years, and the
total Of housing expenditures Is near
ly the same).
With an immediate housing short

consciousness Of housing deficiencies
and housing opportunities and with

beyond Is extremely good, In Holden's

OVER HALF U. S. HOMES
HELD NEEDING REPAIR
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, October 27.-More
than half the homes in the United
States need repairs, Ward NJ. Cana
day, director of public relations for
the Federal Housing Administration.
declared in an address at a regional
industrial meeting here this week.
Moreover, said Mr.. Canaday, mill
lions Of dollars would be poured into
business channels II home owners
could be persuaded to finance their
necessary repairs under the Housing
Administrator program.
I'm the first place, there are approx
mately 100000 homes out of the
100000 in this country that are in
need Of repair" he said. These are
Government figures based on the Gov
ernment's analysis. The extent to
which these repairs are necessary is
problematical, but based on an analy-
sis Of the depreciation factors, the
most conservative figure we can ar
rive at is that 81. 900, ,000, 900 worth of
repairs are necessary right now in
order to keep these buildings from de-
terioraitng at an accelerated rate"

NATION ACCEPTS
PROPERTY DRIVE
Rehabilitation of Neglected
Holdings in 81 States
Worth $277,878,300.

Rehabilitation and improvement oi
neglected property Of all kinds Il
growing into a national program, ac-
cording to q statement made today
by Thomas s. Holden, vice president
of r. w. Dodge Corp. Contracts for
alterations and additions to all classes
of structures have doubled in volume
this year as compared with last year
In 81 Eastern States the amount OF
such work recorded in the first nine
months of this year was $277 ,876, 800,
compared with $13s, s,41s.000 for the
corresponding period Of 1888. A little
over half of this years modernization
expenditures were made on privately
owned commercial, industrial and
residential buildings.
The largest single item In this years
record was $56,213.800 for commercial
building improvements. q SO per cent
increase for this class of work over
the corresponding period Of last year;
alterations and improvements for res
idential structures amounted to $45,-
977. 100. q SO per cent increase over
last year. These figures do not include
small repair jobs, or many jobs re-
sulting from loans made under the
new Federal Housing Administration
plan.
Trend Implies Success.
This years upward trend In rehabil-
itation projects is interpreted by the
Dodge Corp. es an indication of the
timeliness and probable success of the
current national modernization pro-
gram.
Although the announced goal of
81 500 ,00, 900 of modernization busi-
ness by the end Of 1885 looks very
large, 1t would actually cover less than
20 per cent of the country's known
requirements for housing repairs of
all kinds, without touching the needs
for improvements in existing housing,
for new housing, or for improvements
to other classes of property, according
to Mr.. Holden.
One modernization loan per day un-
til the end of next year by each of
the lending institutions now prepared
to make such loans is all that is re-
quired to reach the desired goal, ac-
cording to the Dodge Corps analy-
sis Of the program.
Hope for Investments.
Another big benefit to business ex-
pected by Mr.. Holden to result from
the 1900 local modernization cam
paigns being organized throughout the
country will be that bankers and
business men Of each community will
become conscious of housing deficien-
cies. and the extent Of deteriorated
and sub-standard housing In their
own towns. and will thus be led to
discover investment opportunities In
improved housing. Thus, many fam
lilies in these communities will be
ready TO take early advantage Of the
financing terms for new projects, tc
carry out title II and title III of the
national housing act, which terms are
TO be announced shortly by the Fed
eral Housing Administration.

the law does not require that the cost

Thus the premium and the service
cost can be expected to be added To

5 Per Cent Base Required.
He pointed out further that the law
requires base rate of 5 per cent "ex-
cept" in certain areas and under "spe-
cial circumstances" Mr.. Ardrey as
serted that titles II and III create a
system of mortgage banking. Mort
gage institutions qualifying for insur-
ance of mortgages which they make
will originate leads. National mort
gage associations will provide reSer-
voirs from which capital can flow,
through approved lending institutions,
to sections where mortgage capital is
lacking.
With mortgages insured, the ability
of borrowers to repay their loans will
be closely scrutinized, he pointed out,
and high standards will be required of
the collateral construction. These
factors will make for security to the
investor in mortgage loans.
The country is 80 per cent better
economically today than it was l8
months ago, according to statements
made to the league delegates by James
M. Matthews economist of the Babson
Institute. The next l8 months should
show substantial further improve
ment, he declared. The capital goods
industry, particularly, he said. should
show great improvement in that pc
riod.
Realty Betterment Seen.
"Ten years from nov our situation
will depend upon how individualistic
America reacts to the principle Of
planned economy" Mr.. Matthews said.
Real estate, he believes, is due for a
favorable reaction. One of the factors
working toward that end, he pointed
out, is expected tax reform. He antici-
pates a trend toward real estate taxa
ton based on its income producing
power as against arbitrary valuation.
