policies and measures that are called
for and with which thoughtful busi-
ness men, laborers and farmers can
agree. These are:
First-Revival Of housing as out
lined by the President.
Second-Revision of taxation policy
to cure injustice, but to maintain rev.
enue.
Third - Maintenance Of farm pur-
chasing power and protection OF the
consumer by enacting a workable form
Of the ever-normal granary into law
Fourth-Maintenance Of the pur.
chasing power of labor and therefore
protection Of markets for farm and in.
dustrial products by a sensible labor
program.
Fifth-Assurance Of an abundant
supply of cheap credit and capita
through q healthy securities market

ment. In the meantime for the sake
of us all Government money may
have to carry the precious human
burden which private capital at the
moment cannot or will not carry.
Opportunity in Housing.
The President last week in his mes
sage to Congress on housing dealt with
one of the most important single items
having to do with recovery. We need
at least 100000 new houses q year.
During the last nv. years we have
produced an average of only about
100000. In the first four months Of
this year we produced houses at q
lively rate, but then building costs shot
up so fast that 1t became apparent
that the ultimate consumer of houses
would have to pay too high a percen-
tage of his income for rent or pay
ments on his home. Here In the
Evening star., 1937-12-07

building of houses Is . splendid oppor-
tunity for labor and capital, co-operat-
ing. to serve the consumer in . way
that will give the consumer the utmost
satisfaction while at the same time
labor is given steady employment and
capital obtains reasonable profits. To
do this requires planning and CO.
ordination Of exactly the sort that is q
challenge to modern efficient democ-
racy. In my opinion, the Presidents
housing message to Congress last week
was a stirring challenge to the cour-
age and intelligence Of the American
people. If we start building houses in
q sensible way year after year, an
enormous volume Of freight will be
created for the railroads. The public
utilities will be stimulated. The steel
mills will be producing fully twice their
present output. The farmers will have
good customers in the cities. and the
Evening star., 1937-12-07

automobile factories will have a mar
ket for production fully equal to that
Of last year. It Is important, Of course,
In housing as in everything else to
observe the fundamental principles Of
balance and coordination so as to
avoid the danger Of several years Of
overproduction Of houses followed by
several years Of dull times. .
There is no lack of private funds to
finance the building of houses. The
banks are strong and full of money,
and the Federal Reserve System Is in
position to see that there is a SUPER
abundance Of cheap credit in 30 far
As that will help. Yes, we have the
power to pull out of this present re-
cession with great speed, but the Gov
ernment cannot do the Job by itself.
Labor. agriculture and industry must
all think more definitely abount func-
tioning in co-ordinated way. Each

STREET CAR TRACK
REMOVAL URGED
Citizens Association of Ia
koma, D. c., Asks Laurel
Street Paving.

Removal of the abandoned tracks
Of the Capital Transit Co., on Laurel
and Aspen streets, was urged in a res
olution adopted last night at meet
ing of the Citizens Association Of Ia
kon1a, D. c., in the auditorium of the
Takoma School.
The association also will request the
District authorities to pave Laurel
street and grade and surface the right
Of way on Aspen street. over which
thoroughfares buses of the company
now operate. The District Commits
sioners will be requested to have plans
prepared for the widening Of Balti-
more & Ohio underpass at Aspen
street and Blair road, in order to re-
heve traffic congestion.
Stop Signs Protested.
Considerable discussion followed
when attention was called to the fact
that three stop signs are now located
at Piney Branch and Blair roads. For
some time traffic flowing to and from
Maryland has been required to stop
at the Blair road intersection. Re-
Gently an additional sign has been
placed at this intersection, which is
confusing motorists. The Police and
Fire Committee was directed to insist
to the District authorities that traffic
on Piney Branch road come to a stop
at this point.
The association also went on record
opposing the use of the old Tubercu-
loeis Hospital, at Fourteenth and Up
shur streets. for Gallinger Hospital
patients or for similar purposes.
The Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations will also be urged to inaugu-
rate an educational campaign in con-
nection with the childrens tests for
tuberculosis and diphtheria to show
parents advantages of these tests.
Tree Plans Announced.
President Wallace C. Magathan an
nounced that the annual Christmas
community celebration would be held
on Whittier Street Municipal Play

auspices of the organization.

the meeting on the various public

mission in regard to street car trans.

called attention to the inadequate
force and the need for an increase, with
the volume of business steadily mount

the fact that the telephone, electric
and gas rates were lower here than in
\ other cities comparable in size.
Another speaker of the evening was

is democracy. And the only hope in
democracy is for a realization that

America and timid Great Britain

lust THOUGHTS. BY Matilda
Mullen Likens. Published privately.
This is small pamphlet OF excerpts
from the letters of Washington lady
written to her daughter. Mrs. Isabel
Likens Gates. Many of them were
written after Mrs Likens was past the
age of 80.
They are reflections on religion, ap-
precautions of nature and messages of
cheer. They make plain that the
writer, after her long life, was pos
sessed of a spirit of undefeatable opti-
mism and faith. They are wholesome
reading as rejecting a resolutely radi-
ant personality. Friends of Mrs. Lii
kens undoubtedly will want to have
the collection.
A ND FEAR CAME. BY John T.
Whitaker. New York: The Mac
milan Co.
Mr. Whitaker is correspondent
who has risked his soul, not his life,
covering foreign affairs. Hence his
book is q story of intellectual ad-
venture, devoid of the spectacular
antics of his contemporaries who have
published volumes of the same gen.
erai type il the last few months.
True 1t is that Mr.. Whitaker has
spent most Of his time in the rarified
atmosphere Of Geneva, but there were
excursions into Ethiopia, where he
was uncomfortable. to say the least,
and into Germany. Italy, Austria,
Russia and the turbulent Balkans.
This young Tennesseean. who was
sent abroad by the New York Herald
Tribune. had seen American politics
at first hand In his own State, in New
York City and in Washington. He
was still under the delusion that
things might be done on a grander
and nobler scale when the best
minds of all the nations met at
Geneva. He found he was mistaken;
that no matter how great the RESPONSE
bility on those who made world poll
tics, they temporized. retreated or
bullied, and ended their worl, in COM
pletely Intellectual resolutions or none
at all. Time after time he saw the
League machinery fail. He blames
Great Britain for wrecking the League
