three pounds.
All the tire companies now are

essentially as good and some believe
better than prewar natural rubber
The wartime synthetics were not as
good, one of the reasons being the
time needed to develop skills in
engineering and workmanship of the
new materials.
Tire manufacturers do not expect
much natural rubber for a year OF
more. After that the public should
benefit in all the ways that science
can imagine. The worlds prewal
natural rubber supply was l,6O0 0O(
tons annually. The war developed a
synthetic rubber output of 1,4O0 ,00(
tons.
This 100000 tons is about twice
as much rubber as the worlc
formerly used. 1t promises to become

much thought as any man in the
Capital to the housing problem, is
on record against any effort to
meet the emergency through tenn
porary housing. So is Senator Taft,
the Ohio Republican who joined
with him in offering the pending
housing bill. Both feel that the
short-term advantage that might
be gained would be more than off,
set by the impairment which such
an effort would work on the long
term requirement.
MIA Administrator Blandford, in
his testimony on the Wagner
Ellender-Taft bill, took note of the
quandary. saying he hoped the long
range solution would not obscure
the immediate difficulty. But, he
said, 1T is only by looking at the
long-term problem that we know
how to deal with the immediate
problems resulting from the end of
the war.
Unless we bear this in mind,

the current critical shortage will
lead us only into unwise and i'm
provised measures which could not
get at the roots of the difficulty
and which will build up more trou-
BILE for us than we would like to
think about"
The housing industry has not for
may years come close to meeting
the needs of the people. Through
the 1920s construction averaged
100000 units year. This fell off
in the 1930s to about $4,000 units
annually. These figures may be
compared with NHA's objective for
the next 10 years of 1,260,00 units
a year-described as a minimum
estimate required to meet the needs
of new families and the retirement
of only a portion of the substandard
dwellings that should, in perfectly
organized economy, be torn down
right now.

He told of veterans sleeping in tents

Ever present when the housing
shortage is discussed is the sugges-
ton that somebody, usually the Fed
eral Government, ought to tackle the
problem as war production, ship
building, for instance, was tackled
But those who have studied the
question reject this approach.
Housing of some sort could be
built on an assembly line basis, and
an all-out effort in that direction
would produce housing-of some
sort. But the lumber, brick, gyp-
sum board and other materials that
would be absorbed by such a pro-
gram would have to come from the
common pool of supplies and to
whatever extent it was drawn upon
would defer the ultimate solution
which must come from permanent
construction.
The fact is that the temporary
housing thrown together for war
purposes is fiimsy and unsubstan-
tial. 1t was not without reason
that Congress provided, in the legis-
lation which authorized it, that it
must be torn down two years after
