Although England and Wales

Of the United States, their prog

Three million dwellings con-

authorities, 10 per cent by pri-
Vate enterprise.
A little less than a third

the remainder without any
form of subsidy.
Total investment in new
housing over a period Of 20
years, nine billion dollars. OF
this sum, three and half bill
lions represents public funds
and the remainder private
funds.
Average cost per house.
$1,000.
Stimulated by governmental
subsidies, the volume of building
in recent years has grown to un
precedented proportions, allaying
all fears that the entry Of the
central government into this
field would dry up private enter
prise or wipe out opportunities
for profitable investment in hous
ing projects.
But it was not all done in O
day. Characteristically, England

WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 13, Senator Joseph F, Guffey, the silent Democrat of Pennsylvania is approaching a crossroads.
 Soon he may have to decide whether to surrender his sena- torship for the governorship, a job that pays more but is full of turmoil and the small things of life in contrast with the states manly atmosphere that Sometim- es prevails in he senate.
 In 1938 Pennsylvania must el- ect another governor, and the Democrats are hard put to find a winning candidate. So are the Republicans, for that matter, but that is another story. Guffey, so good sources have it, would like the governorship to go to Dave Lawrence, Pennsylvania's secre- tary of the commonwealth and Democratic state chairman.

Maryland, one of the original

is located geographically in what
is known as the South Atlantic
states, and is border state. by
this is meant that it is located be-
tween the north and the south. 1t
is bound on the north by Penn

ware and the Atlantic ocean; on
the south and on the west by Vir-
GINA and West Virginia. The al
titudes in the state range from
sea level along the Atlantic coast
to over 5000 feet in Western
Maryland among the Appalach-
ians. The highest peak in Mary
land is Great Backbone mountain
which rises 3340 feet above sea
level.
We are given rather lengthy
discussion concerning the Great

1881 to 1885 when they were val

Such a seeming flood Of Jap

Despite this expansion, he add.

since the Rising Sun empires

section, concluded that Japan's
period of marked expansion in
industrial and export trade is
coming to close and that it may
even be difficult in the future to
maintain present levels"
This conclusion was based on
a number Of factors, including the
dissipation of temporary advan-
tages that tremendously stimulat-
ed Japanese industry in recent
years, the lack Of extensive new
markets and the fact that "i'ndus.
tries Of western counties have re.
