WASHINGTON. March 31. Presi
dent Kooeevelt, before leaving for
Florida., said he had high hopes that
hla housing ad
visers would
Have a plan
ready when he
returned. This
was merely ' a
polite cover - up
for the fact,
which will be
evident shortly,
that the hous
ing plan has
t v 1 blown up.
. l What Mr.
LVttUal Roosevelt would
Paul MaJlon have said. If he
had spoken his mind, la some tiling
like thlA:
The inability of any two of his
housing experts to agree cm anything
has convinced him that nothing Im
portant can be attempted along that
line. Furthermore, he has wasted so
much time on the subject that he
hopes that no one will mention It
to him soon again. And as for the
expert , . .
It Is generally understood within
the White Bouse coterie that the
president will play a new game,
ealled "housing-expert." on his Flor
ida fishing trip. He will name each
hooked sallflsh after one of his ex
perts and club It lustily on the head
aa It Is hauled into the boat.
The experts cannot even agree on
why they cannot agree. They seem
to think It Is a matter of personali
ties. Each one suspects all the oth
ers of working for subversive lnflu
evvcori. That is,, they suspect each
other of working for mortgage oanlc
era trying to block the program, or
for certain building groups with po
litical influence trying to promote
certain phases of It selfishly.
They are probably just a little bit
right In their suspicions of each
other. But the basic reason for the
futility of the idea, although they
will deny It, seems to be this:
All schemes which have been ana
lyzed and considered contain such
rank discriminations against proper
ty holders that they are economical
ly hazardous.
The foremost effect of any kind of
housing, public or private. Is the
shifting of real estate values. These
cannot be avoided. If you build
home, you take tenants away from
localities where they are now paying
rent. You deprive property owners
and mortgage holders there of tbelr
values. By your choice of a new
housing locality, you may boost the
value of property owners there.
It Is all right for private realtors
to do such things constantly, but
when the government starts doing It
on a national scale, a constitutional
as well as an economic question
arises.
There Is also some question wheth
er the cheaply constructed low cost
homes would last as long as their
mortcages. Likewise, some doubt
whether persons attracted to such
homes would be good long term
risks.
At least these were the whispered
considerations which dominated Mr.
Roosevelt's recent series of Ineffec
tive . bousing conferences. They ex
plain why the New Dealers cannot
have a program, although they con
aider one highly desirable as cam
paign ballyhoo.
What they will probably do now Is
this: Continue the existing law with
reference to renovations for six
months with some liberalisation.
Continue the government guaranteed
mortgage systm indefinitely without
any further liberalisation.
Some renewed effort may be made
In reference to low cost housing and
ilums clearance, but the Jig has been
up. as far as they are concerned,
since Mr. Morgenthau's real estate
mortgage ally, Peter Grimm, tossed
his hands m the air and returned to
New York last week.

Heavy snowi burled the prostrated
cltlea and towns of western Pennsyl
vania and northern West Virginia to
day while aa army of relief workers
fought to restore order along the trail
of the devastating flood waters that
claimed at least 100 lives and caused
damage estimated In the hundreds of
millions.
The latest siege of the elements
. bllaard that swept the area with
snoy from six to 30 Inches deep
intensified the confusion among the
homeless thousands, but brought a
ray of hope to the reconstruction
agencies that It might stem the
threats of fire and disease.

threats at people and property last
night.
Behind them. In the 18 states
through which they course, were 189
dead.
Behind them, too. were 331. 800
homeless men, women and children.
Eren that figure was admittedly con
servative. The property damage was at least
$370,000,000. There waa little doubt
but that It would rise much higher.
If the loss to wage earners and to re
tailers Is considered, together with
the eventual cost of relief and re
habilitation, the money cost may ex
ceed billion dollars.

Ing the week of unprecedented flood
Pennsylvania appeared iai aifu
to be past the worst. The waters of
the Monongahela and Allegheny
which converge at Pittsburgh to form
the Ohio, were falling. They were

EDIATE PERIL
IS HELDRE1VED
NeW: Proposals to Hitler
Held Key to Peace
France May End Soviet
Pact.
LONDON. March 31 (AP) With
the next move In European develop
ments un tn Relchsfuehrer Hitler,
officials of the League of Nations
said tonight the threat of imme
diate peril baa been removed from
Europe.
Thev declared tfce leacue'a possi
bilities ss a new. stronger power for
peace had been Increased by the re
mnt develonmenta which included
Germany's remilitarization of tne
Bhlneland -and the league council a
subsequent decision that Germany
hsd violated both the Versailles and
Locarno treaties.
Official British quarters said It
now Is up to Hitler to make counter
proposals to the virtual ultimatum
given him by Great Britain, France,
Belgium and Italy.
Those four natlona which, with
Oermany, are the signatories of the
Locarno pact, made a series of propo
sitions to Oermany under which they
believe the peace front, bent by
treaty violations, may be realigned.
Most-important of these proposals,
from the broad International view
point, Is France's offer to submit her
military alliance pact with Soviet
Russia to the court of International
Justice at The Hague.
It waa on this Franco -Soviet pact
that Hitler baaed hla order for Ger
man troops to enter the long-de-mUlterlred
Rhlnelsnd. He claimed
France, herself, had violated tne
pact and Oermany no longer was
bound by It.
French statesmen aald that If The
Hague rules sgsinst them, France
will Immediately end her alliance
with Russia thus removing Hitler's
cause for objections.
But In the meantime and this
point Is, perhaps, of the greatest
present Interest to the Oenrian gov
ernment the Locarno treaty powers,
at the Insistence of France and Bel
glum, want a strip of territory In
Oermany, where It touchea France
and Belgium, patrolled by an inter
national police force.
