Excerpt from The Housing Problem, in War and in Peace His study is the result of a visit to England in October, 1917, the primary purpose of which was to gather information relating to the operations of the British Government In providing adequate houses for a vast army of munitions workers, to her program for building a still greater number of workmen' 3 houses as a measure of post-war reconstruction, and of discovering how these undertakings were to affect the future social and economic structure of Great Britain. It was, and still is, my hope that information thus gleaned would be of value to us in the formulation and execution of a program to meet, not only a shortage m houses quite similar In many respects to that which faced the British Government at the outbreak of the war in 1914, but to help us in grappling with our own inevitable problem of economic reconstruction. The house problem which confronted England at the outbreak of the war does not differ in any material way from the problem which faced the United States when she entered the war in the spring of 1917. In both cases there existed a shortage of houses and dwellings which had, prior to the war, given rise to no little concern. It is not of material value to consider the relative shortage in England and America at the time when each entered the war; and if it were of value, the actual figures representing a shortage are not available, for no accurate sur veys of conditions had been made. We knew quite as well a year ago as England knew in 1914 that this problem under conditions of peace was one requiring drastic and immediate action.
