a decent minimum standard of
living in food, clothing, medical
care and education for those un-
fortunate enough not to be able
to pay for it in full themselves.
Housing is only an extension of
the same principle to decent
shelter which certainly is absolu-
tely necessary if the children in a
family are to have anything like
equality of opportunity.
THE bill is entirely different, for
Il instance, from the so called ma
tional health insurance which pro-
poses to socialize and nationalize
all medical care and the medical
That bill taxes the
people 6 billion dollars a year and

does not scatter government service
to the entire population at huge
cost, but only to those who cannot,
by any other means, obtain decent
housing. Altogether, government
may cost the federal gov
ernment $50 million dollars year
for the duration of the program,
which will be about forty years.
That seems small items for such
an important thing as housing in
a federal budget of $42 billion. The
Armed Forces alone are spending
about SIS billion year, or fifty
times the annual cost of this pro-
gram.
If the localities take full ad-
vantage of the program, they
will borrow and spend 81 billion
a year in public housing con-
struction during the next six
years. Private industry is spend
ing about 81 billion a year, so
that it will still provide by far
the greater portion of all the
homes. 1t is no reflection on pri-
vate industry to say that it never
has and probably never will
meet the serious low income
problem in the housing field.

a considerable number in the lowest
