That is the publicly expressed opinion among the experts in every line of business connected with buliding. They say among other things? - That the demand for homes In - United States is. nation-wide. That 800,000 homes should have been built at the normal rate in the last two years and that only SOyDOOv^ were actually built, leaving a sh^rt-.-., •fe that is estimated at fully 750,000 homes. That from 500,000 to 550,000 homes must be now ^ built yearly to make up the shortage and to get back to the normal rate. That 50,000,000 feet of lumber, board measure, Will have to be cut yearly, Instead of 40,000,000 ftet, which is the normal Irate. That an increase in the lumber output of 10,- 000,000 feet a year will certainly make the lumr barjack hustle. • The experts do not agree as to figures In all cases. But it Is evident that the- shortage to homes is very large. At the recent real ^state convention in Atlantic City inadequate housing facilities were reported from oil parts of the country and the shortage in homes was put-aft 1,000,000. Again, it should be remembered that tbe ordinary demands of manufacturers for lumber are - also to be met. t , * That the demand of devastated BufOpe for ltgnber will undoubtedly stimulate export frikm |s country. lile all the lumberjacks of the country will have to hustle, it looks as if the biggest activity will be demanded from the • lumberjacks of the Pacific coast, where most of the lumber comes from nowadays. The pictures show scenes in Idaho and "Washington. The mountain lumber camp Is 4,000 feet up in northern Idaho and there is still snow on tile ground in June. The trainioad of logs is on a narrow-gauge road in the Idaho pine forests near Fornwood. The three magnificent yellow pines are in a logging region near Spokane. Tel* low pine is the principal source of lumber in eastern Washington. The normal production of yellow pine is about 16,000.000,000 feet (board measure) a year. It Is figured that tliis outpu* will have to be increased to aftout 20,000,000.000 feet. Some of the white pine tr^ps near Spokane are five feet In diameter and 17? feet high. The largest white pine belt left in t^e United States Is In northern Idaho. Some of the largest ani best-equipped sawmills in the country are In this Viashington-Idaho district. ^ This housing problem is a big one1--so big that It may lead to action by the federal government. Hie department of labor, in announcing in Jannary that 500,000 new dwelling bouses were needed. had this to say: "Two billion dollars, available for loans..to* hbme builders, would go far in providing the . necessary capital for the building of these dwellings. Securities of a value approximating $2,000,- 000,000 are held by the constituent organizations la the United States League of Building nnd^oan Associations. Labor conditions, manufacturing, and social needs clearly indicate the desirability of an Immediate acceleration of building activities throughout the country. "By making available capital necessary to building, a tentative plan may materialise in a •- Rational system of 'home loan banks.' The plan contemplates the creation of a bank In ea'-h federal reserve district, similar to the land hanks Cheated under the federal farm loan act. with which a local building and loan association could deposit collateral, receiving In exchange home in bonds." )e announcement has been made In Washingfin by I<ouis K. Sherman, president of the United States Housing corporation, that the land in various cities which was to have been utilised by the government in its war emergency building program is to be sold to home seekers for the erection of private houses. The conditions governing the sale of such property are that there Is a real demand for houses in the community and that the eonstruction of homes will be started Immediately following the sale. The lots are to be sold publicly. Complete -sets of plans, prepared by architects for the housing corporation, will be furnished with the various lots. Orosvenor Atterhur.v has some interesting (kings to say on this, problem. Re Is knowq as an architect of international reputation. • He IS ! a member of the board of directors of the National Housing association, chairman of the wartime housing committee, member of the National City Planning Institute, member of the French Qouncil of Architects and Engineers on the problem of reconstruction tn the devastated regions Mid a member of the New Tork tenement house commission. For 15 years, under various appropriations. beginning with the Henry Phlpps enterprises and then with the Russell Sage foundation. he has spent a large part of his time in research work and experiments In the possibilities of quantity production of the small house suitable for worklngmen. These practical studies and demonstrations have involved the expenditure of two or three hundred thousand dollars. He says among other things: "We will make no substantial progress toward tfce solution of the Industrial housing problem til we apply to the production of the small 2VOizmj^j^7XBs& CATzrzrr f house the same principles of standardization, machine, factory and quantity production that are employed by all other great Industries. "Most experts agree that Jhe real crux of th# - industrial housing problem lies not in land cosfe taxes or Interest rates, hnt in the house itself-* the cost of construction. The investment ill building Is anywhere from three to ten times thS_ cost of the laud, and Is therefoiv the dominant item and the most potentv factor in the entire problem. It Is all very well to eliminate tha waste !n the other factors--waste of time, labor or material--but If the' productivity of human labor and capital in construction can be increased the ie>ult would be a real step toward the solution "fJ'he difficulty and the benefits of such an economy would accrue to all parties involved. "That the 'ready-made' house will come eventually is evident from the progi ess made. Th» first experimental building designed to denibnr strate the principle of standardization and fa<v tory production was successfully erected in 1909. Since then the work of demonstration aud development has proceeded, with the general result always pointing, in my judgment, to the soundness of the principles and their ultimate success. "The help we need ought to come from a g'««vernment research department established for that purpose. This department would have to li^ar the sanie relation to housing, whicli is commodity, . that the department of agriculture hears to wheat or the bureau of mines to minerals. In other words, the housing of the industrial army is aa important in peace as that of the munition workers in war times or the fighting units themselve*. And for these purposes the government spent hundreds of millions pf dollars--and established a special department. It Is a fair question wheth- i er the Importance of the problem today does not^ Justify the establishment of a permanent bureun of housing." "What effect will tills increased activity of the lumberjack have on our lumber supply?" is an important question. The exportation of American lumber on the scale likely to result from the European demand for material will, unless accompanied by provision for regrowtli, seriously deplete the supplies needed by home Industries*and im|iose hardships-' on the consuming public here, is the view of Henry S. Graves, chief of the United States-forest serv- » Ice. The department of agriculture has issued a pamphlet by Colonel Graves warning the woodusing Industries, the lumbermen and all Interested In home supplies of forest products or foreign trade in them, that the question of lumber exports cannot safely be left to the care of itself. The situation is especially critical, he points out. with certain of our highest grade woods, such «s ash, tisk, hickory, yellow poplar and black walnnt, which are the support of important Industrie*, and with southern yellow pine, of which tha main hulk of supply is approaching exhaustion and which is likely to be exported in large quantities to meet after-the-war demands. Tbe situation, Colonel Graves holds, is one of ominous possibilities. "Most of the leading industrial Rations of the world," he says, "whether lightly wooded and • dependent upon imports or heavily wooded and exporters, are* taking steps safeguard and develop their timber resources. Tha. United States alone appears to he content sd build up a great export trade without considering the ultimate effect upon domestic timber re-' sourc.ts and their capacity In tbe future to supply, the-home market." Sound public policy does not. however, necessarily demand the discouragement of exports. / AZfrAznzaAP orpzHpiirmAm) t!The United States, standing second among the aountries of the world in forest area- and producing more than half of the sawed lumber, should play a more important part In the export trade Of the world than it does now. With proper safeguards in the way of maintaining the raw materials, a Strong export trade should be encouraged. But the gains which we may mnk& In the ^-Iharkets of the world can he kept only In so far ,Ss tht\v nre based on a'permanent supply of timber. , If they are to be based merely on a cut which, as In the case of old-growth southern pine, will not supply even our domestic needs for more than the next ten or fifteen years, we shall soon be crowded out of the foreign markets hy countries whicli base their export trade on a continuous -self-perpetuating- resource." Europe's emergency need for lumber, above its consumption in normal times. Is put at about 7.00o.t)00.000 f«et of lumber a year for the near future, a conservative estimate; and her own forests have been depleted by the war. Euroiw, however, needs cheap lumber above all, and our product "will not be attractive for the principal needs of reconstruction, according to Colonel Graves. Nevertheless, the world situation in lumber,.he says, offers "an undoubted opportunity for n permanent export trade from this country of proportions that would seem to be limited only by our own powers to sustain the production of saw material." Senator Sherman presented to the senate the other day a memorial from the Illinois legislature, which was in part as follows: "Whereas the wood-using industries not depending ui>nn uncertain local forest supplies have l>ecouie wntered to S very large extent in the thickly populated districts east of the Mississippi river and are drawing their supplies from the remaining forests in the eastern states, the gulf states and the states adjacent to the Great Lakes. large number of snch Industries are located In state of Illinois, with the city of Chicago the center of n very large and important group. Chicago has for many years been the chief lumber distribution point of the United States and the greatest jH>int of lumber distribution In the world. These Important Industries, including the manu- ^faCtpre of railway car-- boxes, srtvhes and doors, farm mach'nery. furniture, pianos, vehicles, and many other articles, are now threatened by tbe exhaustion of the forests from which their supplies have been drawn. They now face the necessity of bringing timber from tbe Pacific coast with heavy freight charges added to the cost To the same Pacific coast supply the country must look for lumber for general construction purposes. The transportation system of the country must add t<< its present burdens the transcontinental shiomcnt of very large quantities of lumber, a bulky product upon which a high freight rate .greatly increases the cost to the consumer. • "Resolved. That the Fifty-first general assembly Of the state of Illinois urges the attention of the president and the congress of the United States To the present timber sltnation and recommends that, without delay, there'he formulated such a national program of forestry as will insure the future t'mber supplies required by the industries Of the vonr.try. As an example of what should be done, this general assembly points to the wi«e course of the republic of France In so managing its forests for more than a century that they contributed substantially to the winning of the great war. "It is further urged that the federal government. acting independently or in co-operation with th«j states, Inaucuratp action looking toward such measure of public control of the remaining bodies of original timber as will make sure that their supplies will be available as needed hy the Industries. "It Is furthermore urged that comprehensive plans be put Into effect for restoring the forest on cir-over lands which are nonagrlcultural In character In the eastern states, <n the states bordering the Great I^akes, and in the South, in order that timber supplies from these regions may be available to the established industries of 'the central and eastern states."
