HOUSING SHORTAGE.
THE POSITION IN CERMANY. «!> (Rec. 1 p.m.) LONDON, June 24. The German Government has organised an “office for the provision of living quarters for air raid victims,” under Herr Martin Bormann, Reich Housing Commissar and Minister of Justice. Herr Bormann stated: “The housing problem, because of the Royal Air Force, is extremely critical, rendering it necessary to confiscate all insufficiently occupied flats and houses. Yoluntary contribution is no longer enough, as the west and north-west of Germany are now war zones, like anv other war front.
“The bitter consequences of the Royal Air Force damage are undeniable and arc forcing us to consider the air war with realistic seriousness.” Herr Bonnann added that promises to the population’for coming revenge would not solve the problem. Every German must make great sacrifices to overcome the present situation.
