readily at full 1311088, no new 01198 are started. Building in \\‘cstchcstc1' suburbs has almost reach-
ed the vanishing point. . ‘ _
. ’l‘liere again we cannot get away from the inevitable law of supply and demand. If all the
famlltles at the command. of suburban builders were put into continuous operation the result would
not be overproduction for several years to come. The figures on the seriousness Of the shortage
and the infinitesimal effort that is being: made to overcome it in the neighborhood of New Yoi‘k
City are so alarming and so well known by the general public that it is unnecessary to go again
into these painful details. ‘ 3
All this sounds discouraging in the extreme. but there is some hope on the other side.
lators have been startled by the effect of the rent laws and in some cases have out their prices
from ten to twenty per cent. Owners who were in the habit Of raising their prices $51,000 over

adage, “Buy when tlie'demand is slack.”

. Some people are looking forward, even hopefully, for a business depression which would
bring about lower wages, and, therefore, lower prices and a reduced cost of living. This is funda-
mentally a false position. Men who think that the way to safety and to prosperity is through
panlchand depression and low prices, are absolutely without any understanding of the present
conditions. Because panics and lack of employment in the past, throwing millions of people out
of employment, have brought about lower wages and lower cost of living, is no reason whatever
for looking for such things under present conditions.
The world has completely changed. World inflAtion has cut the dollar in half, and no power
on earth can alter this fact for many years to came. Wages are high, and justly so. They should
continue high. . Under present conditions the laboring man is entitled to high wages so long as he
gives efliment servme. A '
It is true that the changes which" have come about have produced a certain rifitexi‘cation of
oxtravagance .and waste on the part of men who are gettlng high wages. They are, at the same
time, less efficient and energetic than they formerly were, but that is only the inevitable outcome
0f the mighty changes which are taking place in the financial, economic and. socialrelations of
wage—earners and all other interests. .;;i~
The man who hosiiates in carrying out construction work becauseof the highoost of doing work
at thepresent t11ne,31s maklpg a mistake. He cannot get lower cost for yearsto come, except; through
