buy or built, but unlimited work
for everyone engaged in the con-
struction industry, backed by bill
lions of dollars in cash or credit.
All of which means good DuSi-
ness for 1887 and probably for
the two or three years to follow,
as the funds so released are set in
motion by the Federal program, or
poured directly into the business
stream by Federal spending.
Nor does anyone in Washington
admit that the new program is a
form of initiation, or that it fore
shadows initiation. From the
President down the line, everyone
concerned with the new drive
hammers away at the idea that
most of the building projects will
be self-financing, that in the case
of the mortgages insured by the
Federal Government the National
Treasury is protected against loss
through the collection of an inSur-
ance premium from the borrower,
and that the money put into Fed
eral subsidies to low-cost housing
projects will flow back into the
Federal Treasury in taxes as bust
ness improves and incomes rise.

Funds PHing Up

Should the skeptic suggest that
it all sounds a little like lifting
yourself by your bootstraps there
is the immediate answer that in
vestment funds are already piled
up in the banks, clamoring for
an outlet. And this is true, even
though this condition has its
origin in governmental borrowing
and spending. To talk of infla-
ton there is the answer: Look
at the gold!" And there it is
look at it, safely Salted away in
Government vaults. secure against
seizure or boarding! You say:
But it was just this sort of
n vast building program, subsi-
died by the government
through initiation, which pre-
ceded the collapse of Germany
in the middle twenties."
And the optimists in the Gov
ernment answer:
THE building Germany did
on the way into initiation, par
ticularly in the construction of
garden communities and large
scale housing projects. was only
a drop in the bucket as COM
pared with the volume Of con.

1t is an enticing prospect. It's
sponsors believe the program to
be not only socially and economi-
cally sound, but foolproof.
Supporting this view is the fact
that there is an unquestioned OBJ
solescence in the houses now built.
Since the construction industry felt
its first slump in 1926, joining COM
moditieS and other basic factors in
the long slide which weakened and
led finally to the collapse of the ma
tion's economic structure in 1929,

Lou Rent Housing

2. Government subsidies for
low-cost housing projects will con-
tinue as a permanent policy.
They will be vastly increased. Low
rents for the families of workers
whose incomes do not exceed
$1,000 a year, particularly in in
dustrial centers, certainly are on
the way. They will be provided
through the construction Of sub
Sidized garden communities,
satellite cities and slum-clearance
projects financed for the most
part with Federal funds.
3. For the family which prefers
to build or buy its own house and
can afford to do so, but which
MAS hesitated because of the diff
Guilty if not impossibility of borrow
ing on satisfactory terms, the
government is prepared to guar
antee almost unlimited credit for
this purpose, and will underwrite
loans on a 20-year repayment
basis, as it is doing now through
the Federal Housing AdminiStra-
ton, on a larger scale than hereto
fore, and up to 80 per cent of the
cost. This. in the opinion of
authorities who have given years
of study to the subject, is the
hardest blow yet dealt to the Sec
ond-mortgage racket and other
forms Of principal home finance
by which Americans have been
MIXED for millions Of dollars in
usurious profits.

StructiOn financed following in
flatiOn."
Equals Debt to u. S.

There is a bit if irony there: 1t
has been estimated that the
amount of money spent by post
war Germany on housing almost
exactly equals the amount of its
borrowings from the United States
since wiped out by initiation, re-
pudiated by the borrowers, or
bottled up by restrictions on the
export of capital. England, too,
which has poured billions into
housing since the war, could have
paid her debt to the United States
with part of the sum so spent.
But the spending in England
especially has been good for busi-
ness, and recovery there has gone
farther than it has in the United
States, in spite of wars and rumors
of wars.
And so, in the view Of Wash
ington officialdom, will the money
to be put into housing in the next
few years be good for business
here.
Billions for paint, lumber,
cement, glass, steel, copper, zinc,
lead, slate, stone! House furnish
ings, from the furnace in the base
ment to the playroom in the attic,
from floor coverings to chande-
liers! Millions Of new electric re-
frigerators! And millions of new

Construction Boom

4. The current building boom,
with all forms Of building show
ing steady gains, and with residen-
tial construction in 1896 reaching
a volume more than double the
1885 total, is only a foretaste of
what is to come as the Govern
ment's new housing drive gets un-
der way-as it will before the
end of 1887.
S. AS the new drive reaches its
full force there will not only be

terest rates for those who would

Somewhere between lies the
truth.
Reduced to its simplest terms,
this much seems to be in sight
for the not too distant future
some of it here or almost here
now, but all of it to be emphasized,
repeated or magnified in the
course of the next few years:
/. Interest rates on loans for
home construction are coming
down. Not rapidly. Perhaps not
drastically. But the downward
trend already has begun, and the
best authorities in this field ex-
pect it to continue, as the gov
ernmen applies moral or practical
pressures with this end in view.

the general price level is headed
upward. So that whatever you may
save In interest is likely to be
eaten up in higher costs.
You're between the devil and
the deep blue sea-as usual! But
the devil of higher costs is, at
that, met in part at least by the
prospect of lower interest rates

happen all at once. Babs came

his daughter Ruth, Babs' cfrum

AS she was soothing Babs,
whose 10-year-old courage was

THE picture of the two men who

her. and Kay tried to reason out
her reactions to them.
Specifically, the natural thing
would have seemed to be for her to
be attracted to Tom Runyon and
not to Ted Gaynor. And yet. just
the opposite had happened.
Tom Runyon was much better
looking and more outWardly pre-
possessing in every way. Yet she
found herself passing him by with
hardly a thought, whie her mind
concentrated on Ted Gaynor and
the brief outline Of his history that
he had given her.
