VALUE sora French Seek Solution For Housing Ills By GODFREY ANDERSON PARIS #—The French govern- ment is being asked to take the lead in forming a new interna- tional body to solve Western Eu- rope’s housing shortage. A motion presented by a group of Radical Socialist deputies in the National Assembly paints a dark Picture of the present situation and urges immediate international ac- tion as the-only way to solve the problem. 4 An accompanying report, now being studied by the Assembly’s Reconstruction and War Damage Committee, points out that France alone needs some 300,000 new dwelling units every year. The French Economic Coyncil figures this would take nearly 10 per cent of the national revenue, Since the liberation of France in 1944, however, and up to Dec. $1, 1951, a total of barely 250,000 dwellings was completed. Another 220,000 were estimated to be un- der construction, but only between 1 and 2 per cent of the national revenue is ‘being spent on new housing. } While construction in most Euro- pean countries has increased, as compared with the years between the two world wars, the report points éut that the shortage re- mains as great as ever. It is up'to the governments to | solve this’ problem, the deputies | say, since, private enterprise is no longer able to cope with it. Building costs could be cut, the report suggested, by forming a common marketing organization | organization for all the countries concerned. This would ensure a better distribution of available materials and, by well-placed in- | vestments, larger and cheaper pro- | duction of them. | The international housing union, | the report adds, could be modeled on the Schuman Plan high author- | ity, which now controls the com- | bined resources of six Western European nations in coal and steel.
