French make 100,000,000 franes for the same purpose?) Why had the General Savings Bank of Belgium up to 1913 advanced 159,000,000 francs to build workmen's dwellings? Why had the German Government before the war devoted some $200,000,000 to systematic housing schemes? New York has since come to close grips with the housing problem, It has had its bitter experience with rellgious |e profiteers. It is beginning to ask itself the same | questions that led older communities to plans for pub- Government available LAMP POSTS REMAIN. VENTY-TWO leaders of American ~ thought united in signing the confession of faith in America and real Americanism which was reprinted in these columns yesierday because, in the opinion of The Evening World, it was a masterful expression. The siatement also includes a warming to the “Reds.” These clear-thinking spiritual leaders are convinced that “American institutions will survive, because they have the willing allegiance of the majority of our citizens,” A clear bull’s-eye! (“An overwhelming majority” would not have overstated the case. Early in the war America suffered from acute “German-spy” hysteria very similar to the present “Red” hysteria which the clergymen correctly describe asan “excited mood.” America was cured then by a laugh. The Kaiser tokd Ambassador Gerard that America had best be- ware, because the All Highest had 100,000, or some Mr. Gerard lic housing. This week Clarence S, Stein, Secretary of the Hous- ing Committee of Gov, Smith’s Reconstruction Com- | mission, tgld the City Planning Committee that 60,000 persons in Greater New York were left without homes | last year. Before the war 21,500 apartments were built every year in New York, In 1919 the number added was ently 1,500. Old apartments, many of them long empty, are now occupied, Mr. Stein said, by people who used to \live in better quarters, but cannot pay the high rents | now prevailing. These people are the New Poor, whose plight this newspaper has dwelt on. Their pre-war incomes give them no show in competition with the post-war spend- ing power of favored classes. They are ‘having a des- perately hard time to find homes. It begins to look to them as if New York were determined to crowd them out. Secretary Stein suggests that the State either go into the business of buying land and erecting dwellings or stimulate building by lending builders its credit. The British Government now encourages building by direct loans of public money to Public Utility So- cieties organized to build houses for workers, New York still shies at anything resembling State Socialism. But the time has come when something has got to be done to provide more housing at reason- able rents. “such number, of reservists in America. countered with the assertion that America had 100,000 Jamp posts ready and waiting for any reservists anxious to start anything. “America laughed. The reservists could see humor in the situation—and did not start anything, so, The lamp posts remain. Mr, Gerard was conserva- ‘tive in his estimate. Reds may see them anywhere.+ ‘The odds are too heavily against them. American in- Stitutions will survive. "Cogsider the case of Seattle and how the Reds had there. . Ninety-nine men aini a lamp post are odds too heavy for a single man to face. The ninety and nine are ready to go into action if the one ever is so foolish as to try to accomplish with the bullet what he cannot achieve with the ballot. .. Meantime, let us beware of the other little minority, the Sweets and Palmers, the Sterlings and Grahams, the patrioteering politicians who undermine the peo- ple’s faith in the same institutions the Reds aim to erthrow. no little success profiteering landlords. But we have not progressed as far as a plan to provide more homes, Private initiative has fallen far behind, either stimulated or supplemented, It must be Huge Ice Headline, We suppose this will somehow become a reason for extra high prices next July.

LENTY of sugar is on the market now, P Prices are high enough to satisfy the profiteer. The reason for the late autumn shortage is rather clearly revealed, Last year the refiners reported that America was consuming more sugar than ever, “Consume” in the sugar trade has a peculiar mean- ing. Refiners report sugar as “consumed” when it {leaves their hands, not when it is dissolved in the coffee cup or mixed into cake. In this sense much of the sugar was “consumed” in |the warehouses of jobbers, brokers and dealers, Now Of more than 1,000,000 voters enrolled in Greater New York, according to the official © figures of the Board of Hlections, the Prohibi- | that price restrictions are off it is coming out—at 100 tionists can show oply 5,941. per cent, profit. ay An impressive measure cf the downfall of This is merely an explanation—not a justification, { - local self-government in the United States, | .
