governmental agencies having to do
with housing, such as the Home

Foreclosure Data Good Guide.
There are many indexes and Sc
ries of statistical facts which, when
intelligently studied, will give one
who is interested in the purchase
or sale of real estate information
that will help him to reach a sound
decision. Among these are the
number of deeds and deeds of trust
recorded, the number of apartments
and houses being erected. the cost
of building, mortgage interest rates,
vacancies, population trends, etc.
There is probably no one index
that indicates the general market
trend better than that showing the
number of foreclosures in any COM
munity. When the real estate
market is brisk there are few. When

titles of essential materials. He
said he believes his firm will be
able to do very little building by

The price of most lumber, which
scared last fall and dropped in
winter, is reported as easy" Fir,
used for framing in better class
homes, has increased greatly in
price, and special mill work for door
and window frames is hard to get.
Steel cabinets for kitchens are
scarce, although there is an album
dance of wooden ones.
Kitchen stoves and refrigerators
are becoming scarcer, and prices
are rising. Builders expect another
sharp rise before many months in
prices of all types of lumber.
The cost of building labor has
risen some. Good building me-
chanicS are becoming more difficult
to obtain every day. However, there
is a sufficient supply of labor to
carry on operations at the present
time.
Builders are sincere in advising
those who contemplate buying a
home to act quickly. The sharp
drop in home prices that many po-
tential buyers look for when the
emergency is over is not apt to come
any time soon. AS one builder

New Occupancy System
Tried in Defense HOUSING

A new system of occupancy, under
which houses are neither rented
nor sold, has been originated by
Col. Lawrence Westbrook, special
assistant in the Federal Works
Agency, and put into operation at
the new 500-unit defense housing
project for shipbuilding workers at
Camden. N. j.. the Architectural
Forum Magazine says in its June
issue.
The Government will sell or lease
the entire property to State
chartered mutual housing company,
all of whose stock will be owned
originally by the Government" the
Architectural Forum explains. Each
family accepted by the company as
eligible for participation in the plan
will enter into an installment pur-
chase contract for Government stock
equal in value to that of the dwell
ing unit to be occupied.
The resident stakeholder then
enters into lease contract with the
mutual housing company, requiring
monthly payments sufficient to cover
the stock subscription installment

Hull Says He Lacks Data
On Nazi Refuqee Exodus

Secretary of State Hull said today
he had no knowledge of a reported
proposal by Germany to permit a
mass exodus of political and racial
refugees to the United States.
He said that in any event the
Government was not officially con-
cerned in the matter and he did not
know what proposals might have
come to individual groups sponsoring
campaigns to find haven in this
hemisphere for larger groups of
refugees from Europe.
Other officials said there had been
no official communication from the
German government on the matter
This Government has moved to
"unblock" immigration quotas to
permit entry of a larger number OF
refugees, but each case is considered
individually.
Secretary Hull recently informed

bassador here, that the United States
did not believe ANY useful purpose
could be served by an international
discussion Of migration problems
proposed by the French government.

Mas Favors Sendinq

Safety Is al Stake
Backs Arms Exchange for
British Colonies in Talk
To Patriotic Conference

Transfer of British possessions in
the Western Hemisphere in ex-
change for American munitions was
proposed today by Representative
Mas, Republican, of Minnesota.
Addressing the 10th annual
Women's Patriotic Conference on
National Defense at the Mayflower
Hotel, Representative Mas also de-
clared he favors sending American
soldiers to England if such an act
seemed best for the preservation of
American democracy.
This latter suggestion drew gasps
of surprise from the audience, but
no applause.
Mr.. Mas urged that sentimental
hysteria" not be permitted to
steam roller" this country into war
and that more time be taken to con-
slider the needs of American defense
before rushing the lease-lend bill
through.
Will Often Amendment.
He pointed out that greatly in
creased support could now be given
to England without the passage of
this bill if strikes and industry de-
lays were checked in this country.
Moreover, he said. all "out aid" to
England should not blind us to our
economic dependency on the rest
of the world.
Mr.. Mas said he will propose the
exchange of British possessions as
an amendment to the bill.
Senator Hill, Democrat, of Ala
bama, in another speech before the
conference, urged immediate pass
age of the lease-lend legislation.
He pointed out that only a strong
guardianship by England of the
gateways to America could prevent
the United States being caught be-
tween the "pincers of Germany and
Japan with South America as the
lever"
Amity With Free French Urged.
Maintenance of friendly relations
with free French colonies is of ma
Jor Importance in molding this Ma
tion's defense pattern, Rear Ad-
miral John w. Greenslade declared
in another address before the con-
ference today.
Pointing out that he had seen
many headlines" advocating seiz-
ure of the French island of Marti-
nique as a naval base for the United
States, Admiral Greenslade told the
conference:
Il do not consider that our need
for a base there is a matter of
major Importance at present, and
I'm confident that base facilities
will be accorded us there in good
time when France as a nation and
her inhabitants as people again be-
come free.
Good Relations Emphasized.
What is of great Importance in
the present is that we maintain
good relations with and support and
encourage those colonial fragments
OF France which still retain ele-
ments of strength and independ-
ence."
