 Industry is to be hampered by continued labor troubles which will break out in unlooked-for compli- cations. Warning is given that ex- treme perils turk in many places
 The nation is involved in an ec- onomic revolution which must be accepted with wisdom. Its prob- lems must be wisely solved with proper readjustments.

A Time For States Rights
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enqulrer)
 The Governors of a half dozen Eastern states, headed by Governor Lehman of New York, have urged the President not to reduce the volume of relief being given through the Works Progress Ad- minstration Their contention is that the states have not the with which to shoulder the new burden of unemployment relief that would result. Far from being jealous of states rights they are pleading with the President to maintain at least one new Federal function at high level of expenditure
 This is interesting in connection with the broader question of states rights Too often the theory of action on some social question. When it is equally pertinent in the of relief, the states are sn- gularly quiet on the subject The states, in other words can at times be jealous of their rights. But they are rarely active when states duties loom be- fore them.
 If it is expected to preserve the states as vital links in the governmental system, we shall have to alk less about states rights and considerably more about states duties And if the states insist pass ng responsibility along to the Federal Government such matters relief they will find it difficult in future to make persuasive when their rights ire endangered.
 Perhaps it is unfair to single out the Governors of group of states in this connection For the state governments themselves have not been energetic in upholdng states rights since the Civil War The doctrine of states rights has been used in the courts as an argument against many sorts of Federal action But has been pressed frequently by the states themselves Governors themselves realize all too well the strong that carrying toward further centraliZation.

BUILDING sENTINELs OF STABILITY

Few pieces of legislation have been put into effect by the present administration which met with greater universal accord than the Federal Housing set-up Democrats and Republicans alike have this issue forgotten political differences and agreed that the commonly known FILA has given the greatest impetus to building that the nation has seen in years Pro- bably before has there been such toward home ownership and home repair since the housing act put into effect Other building naturally has gone forward the major forte of the FILA has been promoting home building and in this it has succeeded far beyond anticipation.
 Here in Alaska where housing in the past has been nothing to brag about see the effects Apart ment houses and private residences springing up in virtually all cities and now that has been en- couraged through the arrangement announced by the FILA by which all the business for housing in the Territory will be handled in the Territory through the Alaska unit of the national set-up without sending Outside for approval
 Another effort to promote housing particularly for the low income classes is now before Congress and is known the Wagner-Steaga Low-Rent Hous- ing bill In explaining the proposal recently Langdon Post Chairman of the New York City Housing Au- thority said:
 The bill sets up permanent and ndepen- dent agency consisting of a board of three whose sole duty is providing low-rent housing for persons of low income. It recognizes the
 
 sibilty and provides the local bodies with the
 and the authority to bear this respon-
 sbilityI.
 The. bill sets up sound relationship be- tween the United States Housing Authority and the local agencies, the former being em- powered to make loans and grants and the latter being required to abide by certain stan- dards and specific regulations which will guar antee the purposes of the act. It does not at tempt to set forth restrictions and regulations in detail. Nevertheless, it does set forth in no uncertain terms the spirit in which these regu- lations must be made.
 The more specific provisions follows:
 United States Housing Authority is au- thorized to issue bonds four-year period not to exceed S1.000000000 the rate of s200.O00O00 the first year $250 OO0O 900 the sec ond year, $250000000 the third year, and s300,000o0O the fourth year. These bonds to be fully guaranteed by the United States Government The money is to be used for loans to State municipal and county housing

 low-rent housing. The loans are to be paid back over period not to exceed sixty years and at an interest rate at least equal to the going rate of interest for all Federal bonds.
 Annual grants are to be made to the local agencies by the United States Housing Au- thority Fresh contracts for grants are not to exceed $10O0O,000 in any one year These grants are to be made to the local agency on definite projects under a contract separ- ate from that for the loan. The contract for the grant specifics the amount which the United States Housing Authority agrees to pay a local agency each year for given number of years not greater than sixty. Fifty million dollars is immediately appropriated to take care of the annual grants for the first four years.
 The annual grant establishes the pay y-as- you-go method. It means that the Federal Government will always have substantial check on the local agencies, for the subsidy can be withheld from those agencies that are not living up to either the spirit the regula- ' tons of the act The, maximum annual grant in effect represents about AS per cent of the total operating cost of low-rent development.
