Families Best Solution

Of course the best solution of the sex problem, as well as the. loneliness and instability of the oceupation personnel, is to bring over the wives and children. That is being done whenever possible, but it has created other problems. 3 The acute housing situation here is magnified by the iAflux of ‘American’ dependents.

Criticism of officers and officials for living in big houses with many sérvants was partly justified during the early days of the occupation. Then it was a natural carry-over from combat. It is less common now because of the general shakedown, reduction in the si%e of the army and the number of officers, and the combe. tition of American eclvilians for SCArCe quarters. Besides the housing problem, some American wives are causing other difficulties. "
