under fixtures. The trap for the
bathtub is under the floor of the
bathroom, and il is important that
all water be drained from the
bowl of the water closet. The jets

hold as much as a quart of water.

Government Lease
Program in Detroit

of the Homes Registration
Office, that as of March /,
1913. $50 applications have
been forwarded by the De-
troit Housing Commission
War Housing Center to the
Home Owners Loan Corpora
ton for consideration Of con-
version into multiple dwelling
units. Five leases have been
signed to date and the con-
version work in these cases
will increase the number OF
dwelling units from 10 TO rs.
Thirty-six leases have been
negotiated by the Home Own
ers' Loan Corporation pre-
Rminary to the actual signing
Be the leases. In reporting
the progress of the Govern
ment Lease Conversion pro-
gram. STAIRS pointed out that
many additional applications
of property owners have been
rejected due TO non-conform-
ity TO the Detroit zoning regu-
lations.
5000 HOMES AVAILABLE
at has been estimated,
however, that approximately
5000 homes In Detroit. with
3 to IL rooms each, lend them
selves to the conversion pro-
gram In accordance with zon-
ing and proximity to trans
portation facilities" STAIRS
said. 'Many -oLtbese homes
are too large and expensive
for one family to keep up but
are not now adapted to hous-
ing two or more families.
With conversion these homes
will be made into comfortable
living quarters for war work
ers at a minimum of cost In
materials and labor"
Whereas previously, the
government lease program
contemplated permanent inn
provement in the leased struc-
ture, temporary improvements
may be considered in keeping
with local building codes.
Furthermore, in the lease pro-
gram so far, the leasing OF
entire buildings has been the
lie and because the leasing
. portions of the buildings
will enlarge the scope Of the
program. the government is
now considering psrtial leas-
ing of structures.
CONTACT HOUSING CENTET
In all three types of lease,
temporary, complete and par
tial, applications for consider
alton of lease should be made
at the War Housing Center
of the Detroit Housing Com
mission, sos West Fort, where
full details can be obtained.
If the house is adaptable TO
conversion and in a neighbor-
hood which permits multiple
family dwelling units, the
government will lease the
structure. remodel the house
and rent the new units to war
workers selected by the War
Housing Center. The owner
will be entitled to lease one
of the accommodations in the
house IL he so desires.
Increased occupancy. or

Britain and America are COM
nlitted by this declaration to re-
store the territorial integrity OF
China, not only as it existed be-
fore the japanese aggression Of
1881 in Manchuria, but as it exist
ed in 1895 before the conquest of
Formosa in the first Sino-Japanese
War. Thus republican China is to
recover even that which imperial
China lost.
This means that one of the main
pillars OF Allied policy is to rely
upon China as a great power in
eastern Asia. The other pillar
is Russia. For this declaration
means that with the liquidation of
the japanese empire, the Russians
intend to pursue their policy of
friendship with China. This is not
new policy for Soviet Russia.
On the contrary, it has been the
underlying Russian policy for the
last 20 years, and even in 1941,
when Russia was most gravely

Cairo Meet Agreement
To Crush The Japanese

months before the German inva-
sion, to avoid having to fight on
two fronts. At this time the United
States also was neutral, and, more
over, unprepared. But even then
the Russians refused TO do what
the japanese asked them to do
TO agree on the division of Asia
at the expense of China into Rus
sian and Japanese spheres of in
fJuence.
The Russian policy, like our own,
like any other great policy in for
eign affairs, rests finally not on
sentiments of friendship, but on
eduring national interest. Russia
which will have a tremendous de-
velopnent in Siberia, needs peace
or her Asiatic land frontiers and
secure access to the Pacific Ocean.
The friendship of satisfied China
and the exclusion of Japan from
the mainland are the best guar
antees Of peace on her land from
tiers. The liquidation Of Japan's
maritime empire and naval power
in the Pacific is the best assur-
ance that Russian Siberia will have
free access to the sea. Thus the
Cairo declaration conforms to the
Russian as we'll as to the Chinese
interest. Since both China d
Russia gain infinitely more in COM
bination than they could gain as
rivals, the prospects of tranquility
in eastern Asia are now good.
It is no less evident that Britain
and America have acted in their
cwn highest interests. Their pri-
mary interest is to perpetuate the
alliance with Russia and China.
and never to let it be ruptured
by differences over secondary mat
tiers. For on the perpetuation Of
this alliance it depends whether or
rot this is the last great war for
some generations at the least.
