BIG NEW PROBLEMS FACE
LABOR AND NATION

titude of many of those who now seeks
labor where there is no labor. They
say, in effect, "wait till those babies
come crawling back to US after the
war!"
Most of the Negroes leaving Texas
are bound for California. So, they
carry into California, for postwar
clinical observation, a problem that
may replace the Jap problem that
once roared to peak of climax when
Teddy Roosevelt sent the Great White
Fleet to the gates of Japan as polite
invitation to have a look-see at the
battle wagons of the white man.
Japan looked then and wasn't ready
to fight.
Makings of New Issues
California labor never took the Japs
to it's bosom.
Here are the makings of vast new
chronological problems, to plague a
postwar American. And to complicate
its labor relations and it's union prob
lens.
The Latin viewpoint toward the
peace is another matter that is climb
ing up for attention. Most observers
who write for living talk of Britain,
China and Russia as co-makers, with
the United States, of the peace to
come.
Nineteen nations of this hemisphere
are united with the United States in
hostility to Nazi autocracy. Not yet
has a voice been raised to say that
these nations will have something inn
portant to say when peace comes
marching home.
But anybody who imagines that
these nineteen nations, some of which
have important economic problems
that do not exactly mesh in with
United States interests, are going to
become tongue-tied when it comes to
saying what the peace shall be, may
have in store very rude awakening
If the Good Neighbor policy con-
tinues, one doesn't tell his very good
neighbor to shut his mouth, nor does
the Good Neighbor incline to shut his
mouth in the presence of his friend
Latin America will say its say and il
has become important enough eco
nomically to insist upon the right tc

be heard and needed.
The America that used to scoff al
any show of strength or will-power il
Latin-America has arned d some
thing; it has learned that economi,
dependency liz not all one way - WE
need Latin-America as it needs tn,
United States.
America cannot very well say, il
the face of Latin American support
that 1T must be quiet while Russia i
given full attention.
These are but couple of the prob
lens to arise in this home area whel
the black-hearted enemy has beel
licked into outright submission :
problems which with wise handling
can produce blessings, but which wit
laundering can bring one hell to sup
plant another. Labor's interest is tire
mendous, because production relation
are involved, along with human rela
tions of the most delicate nature.

Applications
For Mortgage
Insurance Fall
Ferguson Says FHA
Handled l4,5l8
Requests in Moy

Applications for mortgage insur-
ance on l4.518 proposed privately
financed family dwelling units to be
built for occupancy by war workers
were filed with field Offices of the
Federal Housing Administration last
month, Commissioner Abner H.
Ferguson reported today.
This compared with applications
involving 1913 units which were
filed during April
In the first five months of this
year the FILA issued commitments
to insure war housing loans total
ing s248, ,43l ,094, which will finance
approximately $4,000 dwelling units.
The applications for insurance on
new war housing submitted by pri-
vate lending institutions last month
involved mortgages of $62 ,697, 700,
compared with s70,704,605 in April.
Upward of IS per cent of all pri-
vately financed war housing is now
covered by mortgage insurance writ
ten by the FILA under Title vi of
the National Housing Act, which
protects lending institutions against
loss on their war housing loans. In
tereSt rates on Title vi MORTGAGES
are limited to a maximum of Az
per cent on one-to-four family struc-
lures and of 4 per cent on large
rental projects. plus the FLA in
surance premium of 05 per cent.
Built Under Local Quotas.
War housing insured by the FILA
is built under local quotas for pri-
vately financed construction estab-
lished by the National Housing
Agency. The MAS policy is to
schedule private financing for hous-
ing wherever the need is for family
dwellings for which postwar de-
mand Is reasonably likely and to the
extent that private builders can
meet necessary wartime require
mentS.
Construction of 47698 family
dwelling units being financed by
FHA-insured mortgages was started
during the first five months, Mr..
Ferguson said. In the same period.
46,16l FHA-insured dwellings were
completed.
In May l2,460 dwelling units were
started and ll,227 units were COM
pleted. This compared with 1897
units started and 9,769 completed in
April.
Meanwhile, Philip M Klutznick,
assistant MIA administrator, said
more than 2l,000 additional family
dwelling units will be made avail
able to war workers in crowded pro-
duction centers when work is COM
pleted on structures now being con-
verted under the homes use pro-
gram.
1883 Units Leased by u. S.
Through May 81, total of II ,698
units were under lease to the Gov
ernment for conversion with public
funds and for the five-month pc
riod 9647 applications had been
made through local Federal Hous-
ing Administration Offices for pri-
critics on materials for privately
financed conversions. Government

u. S. Payments Urged
In Lieu of Taxes
On Acquired Lands

The Federal Real Estate
Board has recommended to
President Roosevelt that the
Government make lump-sum
payments instead of taxes to
local governments for acquired
lands used for war purposes.
The FREB has recognized
that something should be done
to counterbalance the heavy
Withdrawals from tax dupli-
Gates caused by extensive Fed
eral acquisitions for war.
The board, a nine inter-
agency committee, was estab-
lished by the President some
time ago to study. among other
things, the effect on commu-
nifty finances OF the Withdrawals
from tax rolls. Its report, trans
mitted by the President last
week to Congress. recommended
that four major land-acquiring
war agencies-the War and
Navy Departments. the Mari
time Commission and the War
Shipping Board-be authorized
by Congress as a temporary
measure to make "in lieu" con-
tributions on land acquired
since September 8, 1899, when
the defense emergency was de-
clared.
The amounts to be paid. the
board recommended. should be
set by agreement with the tax
