Situation 1s Different New houses will be erected alntost entirely by local municipal housing authorities, and private people or firms that do erect houses will a be allowed to resell them for four years on a speculative basis, By thet time the government expects the housing situation to be eased. The new program would seem more radical if the situation were not as difficult as it is and if similar practices had not been current during the war, i Need 750,000 More Houses In order to provide each separate family in the United Kingdom with a home of its own, the country needs 750,000 more houses, It needs another 500000 if everybody is to be given a decent home, Before the war 300,000 homes were built annually, but during the entire six years of the war only 200,000 were built. Billeting was a common: practice during the war and so was forced acquisition of land by the state. 1in 3 Own Homes
Even before the war the municipal housing authorities were heatily engaged in the real estate business, It is estimated that they built about 1,000,000 of the 4, houses built between the first world war and 1939. The practice is tor housing au-~ thorities to acquire land and plan a housing project and then to let the bids to private contractors. The houses in turn are rented to individual householders and remain the permanent property of the state. Of Britain's 12,000,000 houses, only about 4.000000 are owned by their occupants.

Public Life Needs You “Your day is here Catholic women and girls. Public life needs you.” He said the real intelligent woman can not understand that politics mean “domination by one class over others, ambitious striving for ever more extensive economic and national empire, “She knows from experience that, in any event, this policy is harmful to the family which must pay for it at a high price in goods and blood. “Accordingly no wise woman favors a policy of class struggle or war, Her vote is a vote of peace.” He warned of dangers to the home from women working to augment the family incomes. Family Life Suffers “She leaves her house abandoned during her absence and the house, untidy and perhaps small before, | becomes even more miserable for lack of care” he Said. “Members of the family work separately inthe | four quarters of the city and with | different working hours. Scarcely! ever do they find themselves to-| gether for dinner or rest after work ~5till less for prayer in common. What is left of family life?
