The measure’s passage at this ses- sion seems to depend on whether it gets the endorsement of President Roosevelt, whose attitude is in doubt. ‘Wagner finally grew tired of listening to the irreconcilable differences of Roosevelt's housing advisers and went ahead with Ellenbogen and a group of public housing experts, rather than the representatives of real estate, fi- nancial, and other private interests.

But that is not the whole secret of America’s success, The USE of these assets made us a great nation. And that use was the result of an open and inquiring mind.
