That SOO.OOO homes should have
been built at the norinnl rate In the
last two years mid thnt only fiO.OOO

That from D00.000 to r.SO.OOO homes must be now
built yearly to nuike up the bhortane mid to gut
bnck to the normal rate.
That 50,000,000 feet of lumber, board measure,
will have to be cut yearly, Instead of -10.000.000
feet, which Is the normal rute.
Thnt an Increase In the lumber output of 10,
000,000 feet n year will certainly make the lum
berjack hustle.
The experts do not agree as to figures In nil
cases. IJut It Is evident that the shortage in
homes Is very large. At the recent real estate
convention In Atlnntlc City inadequate housing
facilities wore reported from till parts of the
country and the shortage in homes was put at
1,000,000.
Agnln, it should be remembered that tho or
dinary demands of manufacturers for lumber are
iiNo to be met.
That the demnnd of devastated Kurope for
lumber will undoubtedly stimulate export from
hls rountry.
While nil the lumberjacks of the country will
have to hustle, It looks ns If the biggest activity
will be demanded from the lumberjacks of tlio
1'nelMe const.' where most of tho lumber comes
from nowadays.
The pictures show scenes In Idaho and Wash
ington The mountain lumber camp Is -1,000 feet
up In northern Idnho and there Is still snow on
the grim nil In June. 'The irnlnload of logs Is on
a narrow-gaugo road In the Idaho plno forests
near Fernwood. The three mngnlflcent yellow
pines aro In n logging region near Spoknne. Yel
low plno Is the principal source of lumber In
eastern Washington. The uormnl production of
yellow pine Is about 10.000.000,000 feet (board
measure) n year. It Is flfjurcd that this output
will have to bo Intrenscd to about 20.000,000.000
feet. Some of the white pine trees nenr Spokane
nre Ove feet In diameter and 175 feet high. The
largest white pine belt left In the United Stntes
Is In northern Idaho. Some of the lnrgest nnd
Pest-ecpilpped Fnwmllls In the country are In this
Washington-Idaho district.
This housing problem is n big one so big that
it may lead to action by the federal government.
The department of labor, In announcing-In Jan
uary ihatT00,000 now dwelling houses were need
td. had this to say:
"Two billion dollars, avnllablo for loans to
home builders, would go far In providing the
necessary cnjiltnl for the building of those dwell
ings. Securities of a value approximating $'2,000,
000,000 nre held by the constituent organizations
In tbe United Stntes League of Ilulldlng and Loan
Associations. Labor conditions, manufacturing,
nml social needs clearly Indicate the desirability
of an linniedlnte nccelerntlon of building activi
ties throughout the country.
"Hy making nvullnble capital neccRsnry to
luillding, n tentative plan may materialize in it
nntlonal system of 'home loan bnnks.' The plan
contemplates tho creation of n bnnk In each fed
eral reserve district, similar to the lnnd banks
created under the federal farm loan act, with
which n local building nml lonn as.soclntlon could
deposit collateral, receiving In exchnngo homo
lonn bonds."
The announcement has been nindo In Washing
ton by Louis IC. Shormnn, president of tho United
States Housing corporation, thnt the lnnd In vari
ous cities which was to linvo been utilized by the
government In Its wnr emergency building pro
grnm Is to be sold to home seekers for tho erec
tion of private houses. The conditions governing
the siilo of such property aro that there Is n real
demand for houses in tho community nniL,tlint the
construction of homos will ho started Immediately
following the wile. Tho lots nre to bo sold pub
licly. Complete sets of plans, prepared by arch
itects for tho housing corporation, will be fur
nished with tho various lots.
Orosvenor Attcrbury hns some Interesting
tilings to say on this problem. Ho is known ns
nn architect of Internntionnl reputntlon. He is
n member of the hoard of directors of tho Na
tional Housing association, clmlnnnn of tho war
time housing committee, member of tho National
City rinnnlng Institute, member of tho French

nnd n member of tho New York tenement liouso

houso the same principles of standardization,
machine, factory nnd quantity production that
nro employed by nil other great Industries.
".Most experts ngree thnt the real crux of the
Industrial housing problem lies not In land cost,
taxes or Interest rates, but in the house Itself,
the cot of construction. The investment in
building Is anywhere from three to ten times the
cost of the land, nnd Is therefore the dominant
Item and tlio most potent factor In tho entire
problem. It Is nil very well to eliminate tho
waste In the other factors waste, of time, labor
or material but If the productivity of human
labor and capital in construction can be Increased
the ic.Milt would be n real step townrd tbe solu
tion of the dlflleulty nnd the benefits or such nn
economy would nccruo to all pnrtles Involved.
"That the 'rcady-miide' house will come event
uolly Is eyldent from the progress made. The
first experimental building designed to demon
strate the principle of standardization and fac
tory production wns successfully erected In 1009.
Since then the work of demonstration nnd de
velopment hns proceeded, with the general result
always pointing, in my Judgment, to tho sound
ness of the principles nnd their ultimate bucccss.
"The help we need ought to como from u gov
ernment research department established for that
purpose. This depnrtment would have to bear
tho same relation to housing, which is commodity,
thnt tho department of agriculture bears to wheat
or the bureau of mines to minerals. In other
words, the housing of the Industrial nrmy Is ns
Importnnt In pence ns thnt of the munition work
ers In wnr times or tho fighting units themselves.
. And for these purposes the government spent
hundred!! of millions of dollars nnd established
n speclnl department. It Is n fnlr question wheth
er the Importance of tho problem today does not
Justify tho establishment of n permanent bureau
of housing'
"What effect will this increased' nctlvity of the
lumberjack have on our lumber supply?" Is an Im
portnnt question.
The exportation of American lumber on the
scale likely to result from tho European demand
for material will, unless accompanied by provi
sion for regrowth, seriously deplete tho supplies
needed by homo Industries and Impose hnrdshlps
on tho consuming public here, Is tho view of Henry
S. Graves, chief of the United Stntes forest serv
ice. "l'lio department of agriculture hns Issued a
pamphlet by Colonel Graves wnrnlng tho wood
using Industries, tho lumbermen nnd nil Interested
In homo supplies of forest products or foreign
trade In them, thnt tho question of lumber ex
ports cannot safely bo left to tlio caro of Itself.
Tho situation is especially erltlcnl, he points out,
with certain of our highest grndo woods, such its
nsh, oak, hickory, yellow poplar nnd black wnlnut,
which nro tho support of Importnnt Industries,
and with southern yellow plno, of which tho
main bulk of supply Is approaching exhaustion
nnd which Is likely to be oxported in largo quan
tities to meet nftcr-thc-wnr demands.
Tho situation, Colonel Graves holds, Is ono of
ominous possibilities. "Most of the lending In
dustrial nations of tho world," he says, "whethor
lightly wooded nnd dependent upon Imports or
heavily wooded nnd exporters, nro tnklng steps to
safeguard nnd develop tholr timber resources. Tho
United States nlorio appears to bo content to
build up a great export trade without considering
tho ultimate effect upon domestic timber re
sources and their cnpnclty In the future to supply
tho homo market."
Sound public" policy does not, however, neces
sarily demand tho discouragement of exports.
AZfcAmzoAD
OF-Pt?IMPAffO
"The United .States, standing second among th
countries of the world In forest nren and produc
ing more than half of the sawed lumber, should
play n more Important part In the export trmlo
of thn world than It does now. With proper safe
guards In the way of Tiinlntnlnlng the rnw inn
terlals, n strong export trade should he encour
aged. But the gains which wo may mnke In the
mnrltots of the world can be kept only In so far
as they n're based on n permanent supply of tim
ber. If they are to be based merely on n cut
which, ns In the enso of old-growth southern pine,
will not supply even our domestic needs for moro
thnn tho next ten or fifteen yenrs, we shall soon
be crowded out of the foreign markets by coun
trios which bnso their export trodo on a continu
ous self-perpetunting resource."
Europe's emergency need for lumber, above Its
consumption In norinnl times, Is put at about
7,000,000,000 feet of lumber n year for the nenr
future, u conservative estimate; nnd her own for
ests have been depleted by the war.
Europe, however, needs cheap lumber ubovo nil,
and our product will not be nttrnctlvo for the
principal needs of reconstruction, nceordlng io
Colonel Graves. Nevertheless, the world situa
tion In lumber, he snys, offers ."nn undoubted op
portunity for a permnnent export trade from this
country of proportions that would seem to bo
limited only by our own powers to sustain me
production of snw mnterlnl."
Senntor Sherman presented to the sennte tho
other day a memorial from tho Illinois legisla
ture, which was In part as follows:
"Whereas tho wood-using Industries not de
pending upon uncertain local forest supplies have
become centered to a very largo extent In the
thickly populated districts enst of the Mississippi
river nml nre drawing their supplies from tho
remaining forests in the eastern stntes, the gulf
states and tho Ptntes ndjacent to tho Great Lnkcs.
A large number of such Industries are located In
the state of Illinois, with tho city of Chicago the
center of n very lnrgo and Importnnt group. Chi
cago has for many yenrs been tho chief lumber
distribution point of tho United Stntes nnd the
grentest point of lumber distribution In the world.
These Important Industries, Including tho mnnn
faclure of railway cars boxes, sashes nnd doors,
farm machinery, furniture, pianos, vehicles, and
mnny other nrtlcles, nre now threatened by tho
exhaustion of tho forests from which their sup
plies hnve been drnwn. They now face tho neces
sity of bringing timber from tho I'nclilc const
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 transportntlon system of tho country must
add to Its present burdens the transcontinental
shipment of very lnrgo quantities of lumber, n
bulky product upon which n high freight rate
frriMittv Increases the cost to the consumer.
"Ite'solved, That tho Fifty-first general assembly
of tho state of Illinois urges the nttentlon of tho
president nnd the congress of tho United Stntes
to tho present timber situation nnd recommends
that, without delay, there bo formulnted such n
nntlonnl program of forestry as will Insure tho
future timber supplies required by tho Industries
of the country. As nn example of what should ho
done, this general assembly points to tho wlo
course of tho republic of France In so managing
Its forests for more thnn n century thnt they con
tributed substantially to the winning of the great
wnr.
"It Is further urged that tho federal govern
ment, acting Independently or In oo-operntlon
with the stntes, Innugurnto nctlon looking townrd
such mensuro of public control of tho remnlnlng
bodies of orlglnnl timber ns will mnke suro thnt
their supplies will bo nvnllablo ns needed by tho
Industries.
"It Is furthermore urged thnt comprehensive
plans bo put Into effect for restoring tho forest
on cut-over Innds which nro nonngrlculturnl In
character In tho eastern stntes, In tho states
bordering tho Great Lakes, and In tho South, In
order that timber supplies from theso regions
may bo available to tho established Industries of
tho central and eastern states."
