SESSION To OPEN
BUILDING DRIVE
Leaders to Meet Here Tues
day for 3-Day'Parley on
I Home Construction.

Leading land developers and home
builders, together with representa-
tives OF large financial institutions,
will gather in Washington next week
to launch a "s2,000,000,00O home
building campaign" designed to pull
business out Of its slump and to put
the Nation on the road to complete
economic recovery
The meeting. scheduled at Hotel
Washington Tuesday through Thurs
day, under auspices Of the Home and
Community Builders National Asso-
citation, will advance the community
plan" of building as q solution to
the problem OF producing acceptable
homes at prices low enough to meet
current buying power.
According to Lon A. LOTUS, presi-
dent Of the association. the price
problem, cited generally as the great
est deterrent to building ard buying,
has been solved by actual experiment
over a four-year period. Results of
the experiment will be shown to con-
vention visitors on the proving
ground" Just outside the Capital.
Government Aid Not Sought.
Mr. LOTUS explained that the
"proving ground" was modern resi-
dental community developed by pri-
vate enterprise. I'VE do not seek
Government aid in any FORM" he
said. "On the contrary, We are in
directly helping the Government by
providing the means of taking men
of the relief rolls and by setting up
machinery to create new tax dupu-
Gates"
Mr.. LOTUS asserted there Is an
unlimited amount of capital available
for financing the purchase of homes,
providing they are properly located,
sturdily built and adequately equipped.
This capital, he said, can be OBJ
tanned at interest rates as low as
per cent per year and on repayment
terms as long as Is to 20 years.
Under this plan there are no service
charges or other high initial costs
prospective home buyers.
'The community plan Of building
offers other opportunities equally at
tractive to the buyer. as well as the
builder" continued Mr.. LOTUS. by
bringing all our operations within a
designated area We have been able to
reduce the cost of planning, buying,
building, hauling and selling.
Prices Lower Than Rent.
"The result has been the produc-
ton on a large scale of we'll designed
and well-constructed homes in most
desirable surroundings at prices lower
than rent in identical houses and en-
vironment. This is what the public
wants and what the public may have at
the hands Of private enterprise.
Through the cooperation Of land
developers and financial institutions
We hope to get the dirt flying in doz-
ems OF communities throughout the
United States SOON"
In addition to q discussion of the
community plan" the convention
program will include talks on various
phases Of the national housing prob
lem. Among the speakers scheduled
to appear are Henry B. Rosenthal
secretary Of the International League
OF Building Societies; the Right Rev.
