The All-Steel Home
(NeW York Timesl


 The widespread attention that the prefabricated all-steel house at Park Avenue and Thirty-ninth Street has been attracting is gratifying sign of the interest that has been awakened in the general public by the housing problem. Public authorities have tended to concentrate too exclusively slum clear ance and multi-family dwellings, An part of American housing, however, is and will continue to be singefamily units. Unfortunately the greater number of these at present not only inadequate but tasteless and ugly. 5a.ega
 The problem of this type of housing for suburban and rural districts be satisfactorily solved by subsidies The most promising approach through the cooperation of first rate architects and techncans who will experiment with new materials and new building methods The all-stee house is a prom ising step along these lines. Designed by William Van Aen architect of the Chrysler Building it con- tains eight good-sized terrace a built-n garage, an oil furnace, air-cor1dtoning land every possible new electric gadget in its kitchen It is truly "a machine for living n," and It's lines and general appearance eSthetcay satisfying Its sponsors assert that it be built for $100O0 The advocates of all-stee private houses will have good deal of skepcism to overcome the part of public that will want to know how such houses will resist corroson and rust and provide insulation and what the relative costs and advantages of steel will be as compared with lumber bricks, concrete and other materials. But such skepticism is no greater than that confronted by any new development and the public is more minded now toward new methods of housing construction than has been before

Things certainly going to pot under the New Deal That is, if one believed the calamity howls that emanatng from the opposition camp. But it interesting weigh the facts of the present day against the propaganda which emanates from certain Republican strongholds and dates back in most in- stances to those days they like to refer to which most of know before Hoover"
 Take for concrete example the current Dun-Brad- street report which based on fact and not Repub- lican fancy
 Decline in commercial failures are at the lowest figure since postwar boom days of 1920, says the report released by Bradstreet yesterday through the Associated Press During the month of July just past there the lowest monthly Uousl of failures since September 1920 and continued rate of decline is revealed for the first week in August
 July failures numbered 639 compared with 902 in the corresponding month of last year and with 2596 in July 1892 around the peak of the depression liquidation movement
 It does not require any great memory to recall how business houses and financial institutions this nation were cracking like popcorn hot grid four years ago; how panic was sweeping the land after l2iyears of Republican rule The Landon boys would like to skip and deal in fancy rather than fact but the people Eof the country are too well of that disaster They know what it cost them ind- vidually in cash worry in failure disappointment and plain old-fashioned ruin for hundreds of thou sands
 They cry about the public debt and talk in big figures. But the average person knows how much money was in his pocket in 1892 and how much in it today. Every business knows the difference between 639 commercial failures for the entire country during the month of July which is only IA days old and 2,596 business failures for the same month four years ago when this country wallowng in the throes of the Republican created depression
 Facts sometimes bitter for those on whom they reflect. It happens that the business facts are the blackeSt mark on the Republican record in half a century. Consequently, the boys who spread the propaganda against the New Deal like to play around with fanciful flights of words They like to recall Coolidge Lincoln or, perhaps, Alexander Hamilton he's been dead long time too. They fight shy of chap called Herbert Hoover, who put the American people the spot. But the American people are not going to forget it another by the name of Franklin Delano Roosevelt who came along and took them off that spot and through Demo- cratic principles put the nation back its feet and rehablitated its people Put it back its feet it should be made plain where today have 639 busi- ness failures instead of 2,596 four years ago.

The Real Reason For Reactionary Objections
Philadelphia Recordl


 Even President Roosevelt's voice is objectionable to the reactionary anvil chorus ! U @yt
 Hearst editorial, in the New York Evening Jour nal. calls him "crooner" The New York Herald Tribune finds the honey of the Presidents voice seems a little sticky and insncere." .,,
 Landons voice, however, is found by the Herald Tribune to have the refreshment of tin dipper of cool water after so much rhetorical sweet cham pagne and essence of wormwood" And the Portland Oregonian finds it "as common as .the Kansas soil. He might have been talking to farmer at the fence
 Unfortunately for this "folksy" build-up, a pro- Landon paper reveals that it wasn't farmer at the fence at all, but coach in the stands at Topeka professional coach who had worked Landons voice for weeks and who signaled him, not with tin dipper but with white hat, when he talking too loud.
 Of course the real reactionary objections are not to the quality of MT Roosevelts voicebut the fact that when he speaks he speaks straight from the shoulder, and when he says something, he means it.
 And that after he promised the American people recovery and reform in his fireside talks back 933 he kept BOTH promises.

STRICT NEUTRALITY

Again the United States has taken position similar to the which proved so successful during the alo-Ethiopana position of strict neutrality. While custody given Nationals to safety, Uncle Sam will have part or parcel of the conflict in Spain where bitter Civil War has been raging for than three weeks.
 It is an excellent position, and one which can make Americans feel proud of the fact that have at the head of our government with the vision and the wisdom not to get involved in foreign en- tanglements There are those who feel that such a course tends to build barrier around the United States and solates from the international picture thus pointing the nation toward decline rather than rise world power. But in view of our recent ex- perience the which terminated with many American headstones the fields of France 1t is difficult for the average American to grasp such a viewpoint
 No person nation loses prestige by remaining aoof from conflict not of their own making. We are not crnging in fright by remaining neutral We are. rather, placing ourselves in enviabe position before the whole world.
 It old Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany who said that treaties only scraps of paper Since he set the example by breaking them, it has been proven many times that he was right in his statement, though entirely at fault for his action League of Nation agreements pacts and accords are only slips of paper on which is written the opinions of men. If other differ the result is what today in Europe-chaos.
 Thus does the course of strict neutrality being steered by President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull stand out as the clear and, true contrast with the bitter differences which ripping Europe asunder
