Shelter
By GEORGE S.BENSON
President of Harding College
Searcy, Arkansas
ONE THING a lot of people need
acutely is shelter. Shoi lages of
building materials and the scar
city of skilled workmen have com
bined to make housing about the
rarest commodity in common use.
It is an every-day necessity, too.
People have to have a place to
live and they will pay whatever
'it costs to get in out of ta:
weather, or they will take what
shelter they can afford.
Comes now proposed legislation
to protect home buyers and home
builders from inflation, by gov
ernmental controls. Administra
tion of rulings always brin-s
delay, and more delay. Now v.e
need housing, and more housing.
Natural, competitive safeguar.w
will provide better protection j
against inflation than rulings, as
certainly as sturdy walls will
keep out more cold than red tape.
Bid for STRATEGY now is to j
Power fix ceiling prices on resi
dential property, new
and old, to allocate building mate
rials and regulate the transfer of
new real estate. Allocating ma
terials means giving somebody a
right to say who can build and
who can’t. A crafty “coordi
nator” with such authority could
soon have a great many fellow
citizens doing his bidding. Ameri
ca needs a V-B Day on bureaus.
- - ■ - -
Ceiling prices on old residen
tial property is an absurd idea.
There is nobody in my state able
to umpire the transfer of old
homes in my town, much less
yours. Such laws pre only made
to break. A legal ceiling on new-
honie prices might be easy to ex-
press in a mathematical curve
bet its result would be bad. It
would tend to cheapen construc
tion and encourage jerry-building.
Ifcr.inud CLAMPING down on
Urgent the sale of vacant lots
would surely be wrong
in point of expedience. It would
bk! much precious time. Service
m n are coming home now, not
o ;r next year. They want places
to jive, no later than they can get
wiij and baby out of the in-laws’
spare room. They are entitled to
a hon e and ought to have it as
f t as their local builder can
meet their needs.
1 don’t want to see today’s new
heme makers (least of all service
wan) pay three prices for houses,
but natural competition among
builders would prevent it if they
could get materials'. Paying a
premium for promptness in a
time of emergency is a trivial
matter compared to the “highway
robbery ” we are courting in shod
dy hour built cheaply to sell
under a ceiling.
Government’s moral obligations
to home-seeking service men are
three:. (1) Help builders get good
building materials quickly to
make suitable, small homes, (2)
Begin no public works to busy
the building trades until the home
need is relieved, (3) See that
mortgage money is not carelessly
thrown around. Bank loans ought
to be easy on well-built houses
and impossible on poor ones.
W HEN the Japs grabbed the rubber trees
of Malaya and the East Indies, they
never visioned that these ' rubber towers
would spring up in Texas. Here, in the modern
plant pictured above which is operated by
Sinclair Rubber Inc. for the Government, a
petroleum product, butylene, is transformed
into butadiene. And butadiene, when mixed
with styrene, becomes today’s tree-less rubber—
synthetic rubber with a bounce.
Today, Sinclair makes not only components

for synthetic rubber, but its modern refineries
also make toluene, used in the manufacture of
the explosive TNT, 100-oetane gasoline and
many types of fuels and specialized lubricants
needed wherever wheels go ’round. Altogether
there are 10 Sinclair refineries
turning out products for war.
