FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE
HE INTERNATIONAL situation recalls
the old story of the woman who was
asked how her church was getting along.
“Not well,” she replied," but thank goodness,
none of the other churches are doing any
better.”
In this spirit it will cheer some Americans
to learn that the Russians aren’t doing so
well either. The Soviet budget message for
1948, copies of which have reached Washing-
ton, reports many examples, in the state-
managed concerns, of incompetence and
downright stealing. Instances which seem
to be plain stealing are listed under the
beautiful name of “infractions of financial
discipline.”
At least the Russian officials are not try-
ing to cover up their backsliding. Not all
American political organizations would be so ■
frank.
On the other hand, American organiza-
tions are not usually anxious to accuse inno-
cent people of wrong dealing, for their own
politcial purposes.
prayer for thousands of families who want
new, clean, convenient homes “at a price they
can afford.
If this can be done in and around Los An-
geles, it can be done in other areas, though
houses in the north may require more pro-
vision for heating and insulation. It is true
that they have to be put up by'the thousands
to keep prices so low, but they are needed by
the thousands, as homeless veterans can
testify.

PROPHETIC ELECTION?
JPSETS in special congressional elections
like the Wallace victory in New York’s
24th district, may have local explanations, or
may indicate a new trend, dismaying to party
politicians.
In the spring of 1910 Massachusetts’ rock-
ribbed Republican Cape Cod district startled
the natives by electing a Democrat, Eugene
N. Foss, a former Republican, who won by
campaigning against the Republican-passed
tariff. The upset foreshadowed coming Re-
publican disasters. That fall the Democrats
elected Foss governor, swept most of the
crucial states, and captured the house of
representatives for the first time since 1892.
Pointing plainly to President Taft’s defeat
in 1912, the 1910 result had much to do with
Theodore Roosevelt’s decision to run for a
third term, with the election of Woodrow

LOW-COST HOUSES
LOS ANGELES County, California, with
nearly 17,500 new residents pouring into
it every month, is in need of new dwelling
units, produced to sell at a price which the
average man can manage to finance.
One of the county’s leading builders is
planning to put up houses to sell at the pre-
war price of $5,000, an amount which can be
safely financed by a large number of home-
seekers. Though prices are still very high,
this builder plans to cut corners in every
way and pare the cost to a minimum.
Ready-cut lumber, shipped in carload lots
and trucked direct from railroad to building
site, will take care of the basic material.
“Packaged” kitchens and bathrooms will be
used. Wallboard and plywood attached di-
rect to the studding save the time and ex-
