Navy Chaplain Speaks

work has been carried on chiefly by
the National Capital Housing Au-
thority, but now the operations OF
this agency are being attacked by
an organization of private builders
and real estate men who say, in
effect. that all such undertakings
should be left to them.
The outcome of the argument is
expected to be an arrangement
whereby the private enterprisers
will get that part of low-cost hous-
ing on which they can make a profit
and the housing authority will get
that part on which nobody can
make a profit and the business of
Kidding the worlds finest capital
of some OF the worlds worst slums
will continue at its present leisure
ly pace.
Landlord Owns Family"
But Representative Smith will
still be alarmed. The kind of con-
Germ that's eating him isn't the
kind that can be disposed of easily.
Listen:
There is no question in my mind
that this public housing scheme is
communistic from the bottom up.
State ownership of the home, the
cradle of civilization, is Communism
incarnate. Where the state owns
the homes, 1t owns the families liv-
ing in theml"
If that makes sense, then 1t Is
equally true that whoever owns the
homes, owns the families living in
them; your landlord, If you have
one, owns your family. But, of
course. it doesn't make any sense
If it did make sense it would also
make lot of converts to Com
munism, for there are people who
would rather have their families
owned by the Government than
owned by any private landlord.
Being a landlord myself in very
small way, I'm sure of this.
Seriously, there is line of think
ing in this country-or. at least, a
line of talking-that is bound to
cause more people to look with fa-
vor on Communism than all the
propaganda of the Communist
party. 1t has come to pass that no
simple, obvious act of decency can
be attempted without some loud
voice screaming Communism" If
this tendency continues to increase
at it's present rate it won't be long
until millions of people will be con-
vinced that Communism is pretty
good thing.
People Shouldn't Be Poor"
Washington, like most large
American cities, has slums, breeding
places of disease and crime. WASH
ington wants to eliminate these
spots. Having first fought down the
opposition of those landlords who
prof1ted from the slums' existence,
Washington obtained the aid of the
Federal Government-as did other
cities in like situation-in a program
to replace the slums with sanitary
dwellings. The program has been
working successfully on the whole,
and now some of the private builders
and real estate operators want
part of it. 1t is certain that they will
get what they want, if they will con-
form to the city's general needs and
necessary regulations. And that's
all there is to it.
Maybe people shouldn't be poor,
but some of them cannot help It.
Private enterprise, with all its
merits, hasn't yet found way to
prevent poverty; indeed, during the
twenties when enterprise had rea-
son to consider itself freer than at
any time in our history, it produced
poor people by the millions. A lot
of private enterprisers understand
this and are now devoting their ef-
forts to the development of for
