The W ASKING ton
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON
major Robert S. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON order to get
an accurate evaluation of Ameri-
can defeats in Tunisia it is neces
sary to go back and view the whole
North African invasion picture.
First, it must be admitted that
continued setbacks in North Africa
are bound to be serious because OF
the effect on Spain, which has a
well-equipped, Nazi-trained army of
considerable proportions in Span
ish Morocco, poised like knife at
the supply line Of the U. S. Army.
There is no use crying over split
milk, but all this could have been
avoided if the reactionary clique
in the State Department had not
deliberately stifled a Republican
Government in Spain and consist
emily played into the hands of Hit
Ter. Hitler's Spanish-F Fascist stooges
now constitute the biggest menace
to the American army, and that
menace will grow holder with every
American defeat.
If France does not move, how
ever, the long range view OF the
U. S. military position. is much
better than anyone ever hoped last
November. Inside fact is that the
invasion of North Africa was de-
layed three weeks beyond schedule.
Originally it was planned for late
October. Instead it came just after
election in November.
Reason for the delay was largely
a matter of getting supplies load
ed and embarked from the Atlantic
Coast, and one rumor current in
military circles is that certain high
placed military men, not wanting
Roosevelt to get the political bene-
fit from a North African victory at
the November elections, were not
averse to delayed embarkation.

HIGH OCEAN SMELLS

Whatever may have been the
reasons, the indisputable fact is
that the expedition was delayed
so long that the British were great

ocean swells off the West African
Coast of North Africa and warned
us that landing in small boats
around Casablanca you'd be i'm
possible. Atlantic breakers run ex-
tremely high off the West Coast

landing is SO dangerous that U. S.

By MARGARET NOVEL;.

The Fall edition Of the Small
Homes Guide will appear this
week all over the United States.
This valuable magazine is important
to all of us because it contains a
wealth of suggestions and ideas Of
just what each one of us want in
our own home. Especially note
worthy this season are the results
OF readers poll on what they will
want in the post war house.
In the last Spring edition, this
magazine included a QUESTIONABLE
page in which questions were asked
concerning every detail Of the post
war home from shingle to drain
pipe, and thousands OF these ques-
tionnaires were returned not only
completely filled out, but also with
additional remarks and suggestions
from the readers. The results Of
this survey are comprehensive and
intelligent and the Fall edition gives
the future homebuilder as we'll as
the manufacturer much valuable
information.
Featured in the Eleventh Edition
of Small Homes Guide is a house
designed by L. Morgan Yost. one Of
the leading architects of America,
precisely according to the results of
the survey. 1t was designed by the
instructions Of the thousands of
readers who answered the question
naire.
Strictly Modern.
This house is modern from top to
bottom. 1t is home that looks
like a home. It Is designed not only
to be a home, but also an invest
ment. Since the majority Of the
readers have indicated that they
plan to build a home costing be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000, this house
fits into that price bracket. The de-
sign gives thought to saving money,
time, energy. steps; all of which
were emphasized by the readers.
1t has extra rooms, large windows,
perfect lighting and perfect heat

such magnitude and breadth that

prominent In the affairs OF the
association. During the last year he
was head Of their Emergency Com
mittee which met regularly here
to confer with Government officials
on war housing problems.
Stating that "the public housing
program, except for portion Of
that provided to serve war housing
needs, has proved to be a costly and
largely unsatisfactory experiment by
government" he asserted that the
private home builders Of the United
States are more determined than
ever to provide adequate housing
for every American family, regard

Aware Of Responsibility.
"The private home building in
dustry is fully aware Of its respon-
sibility in the difficult days ahead
and is making elaborate plans so
that it will be prepared to swing
into action Immediately after the
rigid Government controls that now
restrict all building are lifted" Re-
ferring to the Home Builders War
Conference, Mr.. Gerholz added, THE
builders from every part of the
country who are in attendance at
the conference pledged themselves
to completion of the war housing
task.

are on the future and our associa-

Farm Building Repair
Urged at Conference

AS a result of the high level of
farm incomes, most of the 1000 900
farm families are better able now
than at any time in the Nations
history to improve their dwellings
and other farm structures and to
raise the living standards of their
families, James w. Follin, manag-
ing director of the Producers Coun-
Gil, stated today at the Farm Build
ing Maintenance and Utilization
Conference being held in Chicago.
Pointing out that wartime lini-
tations on farm construction have
restricted food production and IN
tenslfied rationing problems, he
recommended that restrictions on
farm buildings be lifted ahead Of
those on most other types of con-
struction as soon as building ma
terials and equipment, can be re-
leased for non-war use.
Mr.. Follin also urged that the
extension service officials and rep
Tesentatives of agricultural colleges
present at the conference strongly
ADVISE farmers against the tempta-
ton to purchase additional land at
inflated prices.
Instead, most farmers will be
far better off if they use their avail
able funds and credit for construct
ing more suitable dwellings and
farm buildings, for tilling their pres
ent lands, and for other improve
ments to their existing farms" he
said. From the standpoint OF in
creased food production, better liv-
ing standards. and overall national
welfare, the real need Is better
farms, not larger farms, The finan-
cial burden assumed when extra
land is acquired at speculative prices
TOO often results in ruin for the
whole farm and sets the farmer

The volume of new construction nm
farms during 1914 should range be-
tween sl45,000 900 and s185. 600 600
as compared with an annual aver
age of $3.50, 900 900 in 1s3s-4o. accord
