Folks, we have this week an
other statement from our newly
elected mayor We are proud
Of the cooperation he gives the
press and can only say that we are
sorry about the LACK Of eeopera-
ton on part Of others with him.
But, let me give you his statement;
Dear Friends and Readers:
I am very sorry thai l have been
so reluctant in giving you my
second statement. but think I have
a plausible excuse. After hearing
it I am sure some of you will cor
rQborate it.
In my first statement I spoke Of
the countless things to be done to
improve the civic, social, political
and economic status of the colored
citizenry in Ann Arbor; and l
spoke Of achieving the effect by
cooperation. But, I haven't had
any, I am sorry to say. Neither the
business men or women, civic lead
ers, fraternal groups, nor church
workers or any one has come TO
me with any suggestions of any
kind. so it appears TO me as they
are satisfied with the living, So
cial, political and economic condi-
tons in our great city which I must
say is not up to par.
It doesn't seem as il the people
Of sepia Ann Arbor are very en-
thusiastic about anything that will
be uplifting and helpful TO the
Race.
During my long residence in Ann
Arbor the one thing in particular
that causes the people to be distant
is; The failure OF people on GER
tain streets 10 associate with peo-
pie on Ann street There are so
many people who have the wrong
conception OF Ann street Ann
street is not al bad as they try
TO paint it. It is the people that
come from other parts OF town that
they should call Inscriptions. pro-
fligate and Sculpin reprobateS Just
because a man is the head Of church,
civic center, clubs or ANY organi-
zation is no reason why he shouldn't
associate with the people OF Ann
street I think l can say without
egotism that we have Just as many
if not more intelligent respectable
people on Ann street as any street
in town and until Sepia Ann
AFber is more enthusiastic will
not have any more statements TO
make.
Sincerely yours.

An Economists S
Viewpoint
By John T. Flynn

Here is q fact which might well
make American citizens take notice.
Between 1880 and 1887 England
built 2.l89,O00 private dwellings.
In the same period, the United
States. with almost twice as many
families. built less than half that
number.
Never in the 25 years that I have
been interested in the low-CoSt
housing movement have I heard so
much talk about housing as in these
years 1880 10 l937-particularly in
the last six years. But never, per
haps. has so little been done.
If one confines his interest in
housing to newspaper headlines,
one might suppose the present ad-
ministration had done a gigantic
job in the field of low-cost hOuS-
ing. Here are some more figures
on that point.
From 1880 to 1887 public agen-
cies in England built 100000 dwell
ingS. In the same period public
agencies in the United States built
29.559.
The simple truth is that public
loW-cost housing has been the
tragic failure of this administration.
The reasons are plain. And sur
vey of them reveals the respon
sibility to rest upon the real estate
interests of the cities and the
President.
In the case of the real estate in
terests, every possible obstacle to
loW-cost housing has been inter
posed by them upon the principle
that this was putting the govern
ment into private business.
The housing business has two
sides construction and owner
ship.
LoW-cost government housing
does not mean government would
go into the construction business.
The building is done by private
contractors, the materials are fur
nished by private contractors. The
government merely puts up the
money
1t does not even need to become
the owner. In fact it prefers to
see ownership vested in private
municipal corporations. Nothing
would so stimulate private business
as a real lOW-coSt housing program.
When Baldwin set in motion the
present housing prgram in England
he assembled a group of wealthy
men, mostly of noble famiieS.
Before the discussion had gone
far. one ancient person said: Pub
lie housing That sounds too much
like socialism to me-"
To which another distinguished
conservative earl replied: MY
word! You talk like an American. 3"
The short-sightedness of exces-
siVe conservatives fighting bogies
has been a great obstacle to hous-
ing here.
But more responsible has been
the President. He has talked about
housing, but done nothing. And in
the days when he might have done
something he made the agent and
representative of the reactionary
New York real estate interests his
special adviser and co-ordinator on
housing.

FINLAND PAYS
HER WAR DEBT

(Orange Daily NeWs)
With the coming of each December
Is, the people of the United States are
given a striking demonstration of the
integrity of European nations, the res
pect. or lack of the same, in which ma
tions of the old world regard their finan-
cial obligations.
A few days before that date little Fin
land notifies the State Department that
she will make payment, on the due date
of her war debt to the United States and
she has never failed.
From our other twelve European debt
orS come the usual notes. The only thing
diplomatic about them is the language
for they every one say the same thing
we will not" mot "cannot'O pay.
From geographical standpoint, Fin
land may be small and as compared with
the population, the resources, the impor-
tance in which it bulks in world affairs,
she may be very inconseQuential coun-
try. but because of that fact, Finland's
semi-annual payment of $232, ,945 is just
as important to the Finnish people and
probably just as hard, or harder to
raise than the sums which wealthier ma
tions which have defaulted in their obli-
cations, owe us and which now gross
some $4,000 millions of dollars.
The difference between Finland and
Uncle Sans other European debtors
whom he saved from defeat, collapse
and international oblivion with men and
dollars, is that the Firms honor their
pledges while the others are deliberate
welchers. That they seem to glory in
their dishonor makes matters even
worse.

FLIVVER AIRPLANES POINT
TOWARD AVIATION'S FUTURE

If skylanes of the future are travelled
as highways are today, It will be because
Of such demonstrations as that at Miami,
Fla, during the past weekend.
1t was at the annual All-American air
maneuvers. The flivver planes won every
prize. They shaded their bigger. costlier
competitors i'm every division. And they
proved that the average man, one of
these days, will be owning and flying
his own airplane.
For the victorious flivver planes
weighed no more than 1000 pounds. in
cluding the weight of the pilot and few
of them cost more than S2500.
The weight is important because the
average man cannot rent a zeppelin ham
gar to house his airplane-when he gets
it. And the cost is important because it
is the thing that now stands in the way of
greater individual ownership of air
planes.
But, most of all, the performance of
the small, comparatively cheap planes
at Miami is important because it demon
strates better than anything else could
that these tiny craft are no longer sui
eide crates" but are as safe, as effl-
cient and as serviceable as the larger,
more costly planes.
Safety and convenience are accepted
facts now in small plane construction.
The only things remaining to be accom-
plished before aviation becomes every
mans method of transportation are pub
lie realization of Just how safe airplaneS
are-and the appearance of a Henry
Ford in the plane building business.

THE WAR BUILD-UP

(NeW Ork NOrld-l elegfam)
We enter season of the year when
there will be much talk and song about
peace ON earth good will to men. Yet
hate crackles in the super-charged at
mOSphere of the world.
Never in our generation since the
four-minute speakers and Liberty bond
orators, poster artists, publicists and
preachers inflamed our passions two
decades ago has there been such build
up for war in this country as is going on
right now.
Let's not fail to recognize that fact.
Let's realize the ghastly and ultimate
futility of war as the answer. This is a
time for cool-headedness. For prepara
ton, yes; but not for lashed-up fury
that will make us yearn to use the new
guns we are building.
1t is hard, of course, to hold our heads
in face of the prosecutions that are going
on abroad. But let's not fail to remember
that the good we can do in helping find
refuge for the afflicted can be great
through peaceful processes, but that re-
sort to war would only multiply thou
sand-fold the hardships Of those already
afflicted, while increasing mllllon-fOld
the number who would pay and pay and
pay, with life and limb and health and
money.
Hate is an emotional thing. 1t doesn't
solve problems. Let's confine our hat
ing to hatred of war and use our heads
to keep out of war.
Looking around us today we think the
time has come to reprint once again what
Mark Twain in his "Mysterious Stran-
ger" wrote, years before 1914 about war:
"There has never been just one, never
an honorable one-On the part of the in
stigator of the war. | can see million
years ahead, and this rule will never
change in so many as half a dozen in
stances"
