American home being this and
that, the foundation of society in
this country, and the bulwark of
our democratic form of govern-
ment, yet we have done nothing
about it.
Thousands of families are liv-

Congress has dipped into every
other known subject. It has fid-
dled its time away debating the
poll tax, the'matter of whether
it should do a real job or fiddle

petty things that this august body
has seen fit to waste its time on

and went through hell on an In-
describable battlefield to proeeihre
a democracy have come home to
find that democracy is impotent

that is closely enough tied to the

I believe that the gdtrernment
should make possible through lo-
cal agencies the construct^ of low
moderate priced houses, suitable
for small families just getting
started . These homes could be
sold on long time terms and would
be paid for like rent.
