"The city that has adequate housing will have a tremendous., industrial and commercial advantage over less well equipped -pfvals. The industrial nation that provides good housing for its working' population will have the edge on competitor nations. England realizes this so clearly that the national government has committed itself to a' house building campaign that involves a loss to the national treasury of $100,000,000 a year for 60 years. Canada, too, has embarked upon an ambitious house building program." EDITOR YIEEECK URGED vat? rj.yrv iy tabtxet. Editor of "The Fatherland" Supported by "League of German A mericans"?Organization to Present Demand. Chicago Special to Baltimore Sun. German-Americans are demanding that President-elect Harding name at least one German-American for his cabinet and their first choice is George Sylvester Viereck, of New Yodk, editor of The Fatherland, a radical pro-German paper during the early years of the World waif The "National League of GermanAmericcms", meeting here today, adopted resolutions demanding a place in the cabinet. They want at least one chair, and a list of candidates, any of whom "will be satisfactory to the !aocrno woe fir.iwn iin from which President-elect Harding may choose. The list will be taken to Marion by Mr. Viereck. To Point to Their Strength. It was explained that the National League of German-Americans is purely political and is in no way modeled * after the "Uerman-Amercan aiushw that was dissolved during the war. The committee, was instructed to call the attention of President-elect Harding to figures showing that he received the solid German-American vote because Governor Cox was too close to President Wilson and was bound nr? in his nolicies. The German **r * - Amercans will claim that they swung the victory to Harding and are entitled to recognition. Editor Viedeck has tried to assure the president-elect that the new or Iks?

Volstead Pleads for Law. Pleading for a larger sum than had been fixed for the appropriations committee in framing the legislative, executive and judicial bill, Mr. Volstead gave warning that the country would be heard from if it was the policy of congress to cut down appropriations and make the job of enforcement a joke. Mr^ Volstead said he v - i merely proposed a figure nearer that wly'cli the attorney general > had requested. Representative Gallivan, Dem-j oerat, Massachusetts, gave the house its first indication that a fight was brewing by proposing to make the appropriation $100,000,000. Taking up the statement of Mr. Volstead that a good part j oi tne money spent wuum cujuu j back in (fines, he said: "Why this mite? Let's go the: limit. Let's help the new administration by bringing back a hundred million". ' / Referring, by name to Wayne Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League, as "Mr. Volstead's legislative adviser".

"They are doing that now", he declared. "I want to say to the Anti-Saloon League that Massachusetts today is the only state in the union that is enforcing the ' prohibition law. I contend that . j ? tfte sum l suggest is a arop m tne bucket when you consider how much is needed to enforce the law in the rest of the. country". Representative Wood.-of Indiana. chairman of the subcommittee in charge of the bill, strongly opposed an increase, asserting that not one dollar snould be added until the law's Enforcement ?1 ~ A nnimnnKr Tri + h tlio Ho. , was piaceu isyuaicxj- n nu i partment o'f justice. -j Other members took part in the I discussion. Representative Cramton, Republican, Michigan, declaring that any reduction would be like serving notice on the people that a reaction had begun and that an era of lawbreaking was beginning. There was a roar from both sides of the chamber when Mr. Galliva announced he would accept in place of his amendment'a substitute by Representative ? - ? ? ai j j. Stephens, Kepuoiican, unio, cutting the appropriation to $1,000,000. Representative Mann, Republican, Illinois, objected, and all of the three proposals were] put to a vote.
