Small Dent in Shortage.
The total number of dwelling units

great housing shortage. The Senate
Committee on Education and Labor,
in its report last June, found at least
100000 building units would be
needed in the next 10 years, and many
competent authorities put the figure
as high as 100000. DR.. Edith FL
mer Wood estimates, on the basis Of
the 1880 census, that 100000 non
farm houses and 100000 farm houses
are SUBJ b-standard-that is. over SO
per cent of our total housing. There
was almost as great cessation Of
building during the depression as dur
ing the war.
Just what is "sub-standard hous-
ing?" Housing is "sub-standard" If
each family is not furnished with an
ample and pure supply of running
water, an indoor flush toilet for its
exclusive use, a bathtub or shower.

Obviously, the housing problem Is
too big to become the foot ball Of party
politics. In America, as In all indus
trial countries, 1t will outlive many
administrations and many changes in
policy. The Executive Committee Of
the Chicago General Advisory Board
on Housing has just sent report to
Washington urging that local authori-
ties play larger part in future hous-
ing schemes. The committee sug-
gests that in future Federal aid to
housing should be extended in, the
same way that highways are now SUBJ
sidized-namely, a grant from the
Federal Government providing propor-
tionate grants are made by State and
city.

with low incomes. The Federal Gov
ernment Is spending an estimated
total of $208 ,000, 900 on this program
and has purchased approximately

Three thousand persons are engaged
in real estate phases Of the pro-
gram. Construction has given jobs to
$4,000 building trades workers daily
for more than q year-45, ,000, 900 man
hours. Another $4,000 have been en-
ployed in producing material. Forty
four per cent of the cost goes into
wages of men employed on the sites
and 80 per cent to men in factories
producing materials. That is, $75 out
of every 500 is going into pay rolls.
In July alone, p. w. A. let contracts
totaling $22,901, ,469 to private COM
panies.
In assembling so urban land sites,
all but % in slum areas, the Govern
ment had to remove and resettle
elsewhere 6,70C families. 1t had to
deal with 1000 individual owners in
order to purchase 3,498 parcels of
city land-a total of 952 600, 900 square
feet or 1,190 acres. There has been
nothing like it in this country since
the great homestead act of 1862, when
the Government sold more than 85.-
100000 acres to the people for the
nominal price of SIPS an acre. This
was the first rural settlement, just as
the $110,000,00 appropriated by Con-
gress to house shipyard and munition
workers during the World War was
the first slum clearance project.
America, like England, discovered dur
ing the intensified competition of war
that it could not compete with Ger
many unless the workers in the sud-
denly expanded shipbuilding and mu-
milton industries were as well housed
as the German workers. Since DR..
Won Wagner, mayor of Ulm, began his
housing schemes in 1888, Germany
has been a pioneer in this movement.

When q government does not actively
subsidize housing for low-income

slum landlord by paying with tax
