Federal Obligations

Along with other activities, IN
the opinion of the GER, provisions
should be made for modernizing
and rehabilitating old or rundown
properties so that American fam
lilies would not be confronted with
a choice of living in unsatisfactory
quarters or buying a brand-new
dwelling. This also has been done
successfully in England on
large scale.
In addition to this general pro
gram, the GER has definite ideas
as to the several obligations of
the Federal Government, of buSi-
ness and finance, of labor, and of
the building and loan associations.

AS Washington sees it, the hard
est shells to crack in this basket
of housing nuts are those contain
ing the answers to lower interest
rates, lower wage rates and lower
costs Of building materials. With
these three problems solved, it is
the view of most Federal admins
traitors that the rest would take
care of itself. Subsidies for low
rental housing are coming anyway.
That is part of the present Federal
program. It's the other factors
which enter into construction and
financing costs which cause Fed
eral administrators to sit up
nights.
Yet a. Chairman Freed said in
laying the case before the Eco
nomic Club Of Detroit:

the homes of the Nation. We
cannot arrive at a solution by

lieves it would be mistake for big
business to adopt the housing child
as its own. They suggest as an
alternative that business men offer
their assistance in organizing 40
home-building companies. with a
minimum capital of $1,000,000
each. 1t is suggested further that:
"TheSe companies would,
under an association, work to-
gether on research, planning,
purchases, and many other de-
Sirable activities"
Addressing the Economic Club
of Detroit on November 80 Chair
man Freed said on this point:
LET me sound a warning
against what may come to
pass. 1 refer to several very
large building companies
that are now being considered
as adjuncts of large corpora
tiOns in other industries. Moth
ing would be more dangerous
at this time than the formation
of gigantic BODYBUILDING cor
pOrations by the same interests
who now control. let us say, the
automobile, steel or other
great industries. The battle
being waged by Government
against the concentration Of
economic power would intensity
itself with this reborn indus

Legislation setting up a primary

troduced in the House yesterday
by Representative Jennings Ran

member of the House District Com

This bill has been introduced in
Congress several times but it has
always failed of passage. Although
this measure does not propose ma

introducing the bill, said that it

Many people are wondering what
is in the cards these days for the
Democratic party. According to Rep
resentative Henry G.. Teigan who has
returned to this state from Washing
ton after his first term in Congress,
the Democratic party is split three
ways. He divided the three groups,
as follows:
"Bourbons from the south whose
attitude on labor and farm issues was
plainly that of the old slave-holding
class of pre-civil war days;
Corrupt politicians from New
York and other large urban areas
whose notion of politics is to make
it pay;
"a third group mainly from the
North and West whose members were
truly interested in legislating for the
people.
This latter group" he concluded,
twas the only section of the party
thoroughly in sympathy with the
Presidents program" Farmer-La-
borites worked closely with this lat
ter group.
The question is now whether our
liberal president can hold together
those sections of his party which is
democratic only in name but more
in sympathy with the social and eco
nomic philosophy of the Republican
party. If he expects to put his New
Deal program over, it is becoming
obvious that he will require the sup
port of liberal elements outside the
Democratic party to make up for the
detection of southern bourbons and
reactionary members of his own party.
Aiming to destroy the fair trade
practices act passed by the last leg
islature, the Atlantic and Pacific Tea
Co. has filed suit in federal district
court attacking the constitutionality
of the act. The A & P operates 81
stores in Minnesota.
The act was designed to protect
the small independent businessmen
against the great chains and is one of
the liberal measures passed at the 1887
session. 1t would prohibit unlawful
discrimination in the production, man.
ufacture and distribution of COM
modities in the retail trade.
An important natural resource now
undeveloped in Minnesota, in the
opinion of engineers, is the Kettle
Rapids project which was inspected
recently by Federated Electric repre-
sentativeS and others
They contend that flood control
dam on the st. Croix river at or
near where the Kettle river flows
into it would conserve moisture in
the area. 1t could also generate cleo
trio current to be sold to rural cleo
IRRIGATION projects located within a
radius of 300 miles. It is high time
that some of the natural resources
with which our state has been well
supplied be developed for the use of
the people and not for the profit of
private individuals.

POLICE BREAK UP
 STUDENTS STRIKE

Nashua, N. H., Sept. 16.-(UP)- Police today dispersed student strik- CTS demonstrating in front of the Nashua junior high school.
 It was the latest of a series of demonstrations which have marked three-day strike by both senior and junior high school students seeking shorter hours.
 School authoriteis estimated that 35 per cent of the high schools 900 students and 20 per cent of the junior institutions 500 pupils were out this morning. Ds
 Both schools conducted classes to- day, however, whereas yesterday the senior high school suspended activi- ties.
 Again this morning the strikers paraded between the two schools and the municipal building on Main street, hampering traffic in the downtown area.
 Last night the board of deuca- ton suspended strikers until Mon- day and ruled htat before return ing to classes they must satisfac- torily explain their actions to the principal. The board announced that junior high school strikers who failed to return today would be dealt with by truait officers.
