COMPROMISES
Rental Scale Is First Issue
in Impasse Over D. c.
PROGRAM.

Signs pointed today to a probable
early adjustment of differences be-
tween the Alley Dwelling Authority
and the United States Housing Au-
thority, which have delayed negotia-
tions for more than week on an ap-
plication for funds to start the Dis
trict's low-rent housing program.
Officials of the two agencies have no
intention of dragging President Roose-
welt into the controversy as they did
last spring, it was said today, and see
no reason why the present dispute
over rents and income of tenants
cannot be settled satisfactorily to both
sides. Peace was in the air. for the
administrative officers, John Ihlder
for the A. D. A. and Nathan Straus
for the u S. H. A. had nothing to
say for publication.
The two were together today at the
Wardman Park Hotel, where each
made an address at a morning con-
ference of public housing officials gath
cred here from all sections.
Rental Scale Is Issue.
The issue at stake over the local
program is not so much 100 per cent
loan as it is the ability of the A. D. A.
to produce scale of rents for tenants
below 81 900 or 81 100 year income.
If the A. D. A. can give that assur-
ance. there seems to be little doubt of
a 100 per cent loan being granted.
Mr.. Ihlder was believed to be at
work on a compromise scale of rents
which would more nearly meet the
demands of the u S. H. A. There
were reasons to believe also that Mr.
Straus will not hew to the line and
will allow for a reasonable leeway in
the income groups to be served.
The A. D. A. had proposed rents
downward from 1925 a month per
room for one-quarter of the tenants,
out the incomes of this group ranged
from those on relief to families earn
ing $503 year The other three
quarters are in groups earning from
$l,253 to 1854. and they would pay
higher scale of rentals up to $1O70
The lower rents would be maintained
b. a sudsibdy in the form of tax
exemption.
Income Gap Apparent.
The A. D. A. plan leaves a gap be-
tween families of 5000 and under
$l,253, for which no provision evil
IDENTIFY has been made. The incomes
quoted, however, are averages" and
it Is possible. therefore. for some in
this apparent no mans land" to be
served with new housing
The U. S. H. A. has to approve loan
contracts with some 200 local author
tiles. For program Of this magni-
tude, it is adhering to uniform rules,
D5ust as the Public Works Administra-
ton has done for four years. The
housing law says the incomes of ten
ants must not exceed five times the
rents charged, except in cases where
there are more than three children
That is its only definition of the 'low-
est income group
To house the greatest number In
the lower income brackets. Mr.. Straus
has repeatedly said the U. S. H. A.
is striving to serve only those under
81, 100 as an outside figure, but as
the law says tenants must be self
supporting hi. cannot provide for fam
lilies on relief, as Mr.. Ihlder proposes
to do in some cases.

letter, dated October Z. stated that
the two commissioners knew nothing
about the chairman's action

The letter addede:
I'VE want to say that the whole

seems to be entirely contrary to the
spirit of the presidential order and
not in keeping with the Presidents
policies as to civil service matters.
I'm any event. this subject has not
been up for discussion before the
commission. and We have not had
an opportunity of examining 1t be-
fore the letter was sent.

that no action whatever be taken in
the matter before this commission

Parl-America

Before they left to attend the
eighth Pan-American conference at
Lima, U. S. delegates spoke opti-
mistically of efforts to unite the
Western hemisphere into solid bloc
opposing European or Asiatic ag-
gressors. But the picture looked
vastly different from below the
equator. At Lima they found rep
resentatives of 20 other American
nations who exhibited justified cool
ness toward the COLOSSUS Of the
north" whose President has taken
the lead in what they think might be
another attempt at Yankee imperi-
alism" U. S. delegates discovered
that South American nations have
their cultural centers in Rome, Par
is and Madrid; that despite any u.
S. ambitions to the contrary, Pan
America will insist on maintaining
its trade relations with Europe.
Thus, although Secretary of State
Cordell Hull received a warm re-
ception, he could not expect much
to come from the conference. South
American nations are generally
agreed that totalitarian propaganda
must be stopped, but they neglect
to consider that Nazi trade and
propaganda travel together, that
countries accepting one must also
take the other. This is the principle
weakness of a proposal introduced
by the Venezuelan delegation, which
calls for cooperative action against
military aggression but fails to con-
slider methods of blocking political
aggression.
A prerequisite to hemispherical
defense plans is hemispherical cor
diality, which occupies an impor-
tant place on Mr.. HulPs list. Stun
bling blocks here are Mexico's COM
munistic policy of expropriating U.
S. oil and farm lands, and Argen-
tina's desire for more trade and
better relations with Italy and Ger
many. At best, Pan-American en-
dorsement of President Roosevelt's
New world defense plan will be in
principle only, though the confer
ence is undoubtedly giving German,
italian and japanese interests con-
siderable worry. Their agents are
busily at work among delegates.
The Coolidge examiner., 1938-12-22
International

Any shift in world military power
is invariably followed by economic
changes. One of these is world
trade, in which Great Britain finds
her position threatened by aggres-
sive Germany. Taking thoroughly
revolutionary position, England has
now broadened her government
trade insurance plan to safeguard
exports of materials ordinarily re-
fused as poor risks. Beginning jan
uary l, the export credits depart
ment may incur liabilities up to
$375, 10000 instead of the present
$3.50, 1000, 900. To cover special risk
items, another $4,000, 900 has been
set aside. The latter policy, Incl
dentally, will facilitate shipment of
war goods to China.
If this aggressive British position
has caused Germany any wor-
ry, Berlin can rejoice in a $17,OOO,-
600 barter deal with Mexico, under
which she will buy oil in exchange
for manufactured items. In this
case, Germany's gain is Britains
loss, since London has almost COM
pletely severed diplomatic and trade
relations with Mexico over expro-
priaton of British-own ed oil lands.
