I need not recount to you that the cause of this critical problem has been the di- version of our economic strength from permanent construction to man- ufacture of consumable commodities during and after the war. In 1910 we averaged about 110 families for each 100 homes, and in 1920 about 117 families. This indicates a shortage of nearly 1,500,000 homes the 1910 standard. An equally dis- turbing fact is that the tentative fig- ures from the forthcoming census in- dicate that the total number of homes owned by the occupiers has steadily decreased, and a total of nearly 60 per cent of our population are living as tenants, a larger ratio than mans other countries. If we are to build up the stability and the h&ppiness of our people, this is just the reverse of what shoul dhappen. Nothing is worse than an increased tenantry and landlordism in the count Suggested Remedies, “If we make a study of the sug- gested remedies for the situation we nnd they fall into two general groups—first, those that may be worked out by individuals or local community action, and, second, those involving the assistance of the fed- eral government.
