THE HOUSING PROBLEM.
P1 !; olwc ft - 10 rtagc is more serious than ever, the Government housini scheme has proved a fiasco. About £-1,000,000 has alrendv ocen spent 011 costly houses, quite unsuitable for the average worker. If this nionev had been put into loans to workers we would have had four or five times the number of houses, and the owners would have been living in them. Obviously the Government wants to make us all tenants to the State, the idea being not only to nationalise all industry. but the homes of the people, too. This packing of Government houses so close together that thorp is not room to swing the proverbial cat ail-': inviting people to crowd into the cities irstead of going in for a poor man's land settlement policy, like Seddon and Ballance did. is in itself sufficient to turn any Government out of ofiice.
