jigs in America
, When the call came to feeJ starving millions across the seas, American generosity, effi
ciency, and foresight were not wanting. Now comes a call to provide shelter for a great nation
without homes enough for its growing population and that nation is the United States. In the
largest city of the country, 100,000 families are doubling up with one or more other families;
there are places in the city where twelve persons live in three rooms; where four persons sleep in
. a kitchen eveiy night; and hundreds of rooms in which four of five persons sleep' There is tu
berculosis and there have been isolated cases of typhus. These conditions exist and this descrip-
, tion appears in a report of a committee of the United States Senate which calls for government
actioji to help build homes for our people.
