Davies, special assistant to the Secretary of State, warned last night. “Even though no foreign military plane, warship or soldier ever touches our shores, the forces which this struggle has unleashed seem sure to affect us vitally,” Mr. Davies said in an address at the University of Wis- consin, the text of which was made available at the State Department. He did not mention Germany by name, but indicated the destructive effects of a possible German victory on this country by saying this coun- try’s system of trade was challenged by a “system of barter and ex- change,” involving “the highly con- trolled and restricted barter of com- modities induced by necessity, force or fear.” Fate of Gold. Pointing out that war costs might eventually denude Europe of gold, he said “such a situation might in- | volve serious dependence of the | Americas upon European control” by ; forcing this country to trade on | barter terms or not at all, “European markets for our manu- factured goods may be lost,” he added. “South American and other markets now friendly to us might be closed by preferential barter, and | it is entirely possible that we might | be faced with a financial and in- | dustrial crisis compared with which | the 1930 depression would rank as |a period of prosperity. “These ,things I do not say will {hlppen. It is, nevertheless, prudent and wise, is it not, that we should appreciate and foresee the forces now existing in the world which | affect us, the consequences of which | we and our children might have to confront. Urges Thought on Subject. “The liberal thought of the world cleaves to the hope that following this terrible military destruction in Europe America will still have the strength and power to help recreate our civilization and heal a stricken world. That hope we believe will be fulfilled. To safeguard its fulfill- ment, however, we should think the matter through and envisage poten- tialities of the situation. We should not overlook the possibility that these high hopes might be thwarted by the fact that we might be rele- | gated to the position of a minority stockholder in a going world concern {in which we would have little to say.” City News in Brief TODAY.

Secretary of Commerce Hopkins predicted yesterday “an immediate increase in private one to four- family home construction.” He said his prediction was hased on a recent sharp rise in applica- tions to the Federal Housing Ad- ministration for insurance of mort- gages on new houses. At the same time Stewart Mc- | Donald, Federal Housing admin- istrator, announced the F. H. A. was making & special effort to encourage Tth, 8th & E Sts. ONE countless Butterfly Chinese - n;n(_ ‘ SPECIALS 79¢ Flowering ) 1) E :Bl’l‘l] Wreath ) MAY 6, 1940. construction of new homes in rural communities. He said the chief problem was to create an interest on the part of the building industry in the small town market. Another report, by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, said almost one- third of the families of urban work- ers were home owners. Home own- ership, this repert said, was most often reported outside the largest cities. The bureau estimated that one out of every four dollars paid out by the average of employed city wage earners went for housing expense. 49e Big 3 to 4 ft. trees.
