ing should no longer be regarded as

War Effects Discussed
A goodly portion of discussion at
the meetings was devoted to posi-
BILE effects of the European War on
the building industry in this country.
Thomas S. Holden, of the F. w.
Dodge Corp, New York, declared
the industry and the whole economic
status of the country is better pre-
pared to meet the dislocations of a
general European war than in 1914.
Sir Raymond Unwin, past presi-
dent of the Royal Institute of Brit
ish Architects. told the delegates
that the English housing program
had provided more than 1000 900
homes since the World War. The
program saved the government ap-
proximately $2,464, ,0O0,0 900 in relief
funds. To accelerate the program
the British government has ad-
vanced only $85,OO0, 900 in subsidies,
he added. In the same connection,
James D. Marshall, of the Associated
General Contractors of America, de-
clared that if the building industry
were restored to pre-1930 volume it
could completely absorb all workers
