I SUBSCRIPTION RATES: 1 One Year $1.00 Six Months .75 Three Months.50 Solving The Housing Problem Certain things seem to be true about the much-discussed housing situation. It is true that home building in the United States has not kept pace with the increasing number of families, and that a high proportion of homes are out- of-date and should be replaced with new dwellings. One of the best things the present Administration has done has been to set up the Federal Housing Administration system* of guaranteed mortgages, which en courages private capital to lend on long terms at low interest for hbme building. We are not at all sure, however, that the grandiferous program of subsidized suburban or city apart ment houses to be rented to the very poor under conditions where by the Federal Government prac tically pays the whole cost, is equally commendable. A system which encourages capitalists to invest money in home building and at the same time encourages individuals to buy their own homes is, in the long run, more truly in accord with the American tradition of individual self-reliance. It is gratifying to note that sev eral private investors are putting their idle capital into the building of homes for ordinary people of moderate means. The most notable of these is Edsel Ford, who has announced that he is about to build a large number of small houses to be sold on easy terms to people in the $20-$25-a- week income class. In northwestern Indiana, be tween the prosperous manufac turing cities of Gary and Ham mond, another capitalist, Frank Hoess, is building houses, each on an acre of ground, on a system which enables a man with a job to buy his house with almost no down payment, and his monthly payments are graded to his pay- check. Most houses cost too much for what the buyer gets. The need of the times is for cheaper-houses as well as better houses. It looks as if we were heading in that direction.
