It is just inconceivable that the city should continue to be economically strangled by this housing drought. ; Within recent months, a new 50-unit housing supply has been made available. Notwithstanding, the demand for housing is still undiminished. If and when the 50 houses we are now trying to have built are erected, there is no doubt there will still be a shortage. .

She spared neither man nor money and pledged everything she had to get the materials necessary to carry on the fight. Now, as a result of that policy, we find her too weak financially to make the most effective use of her manpower, and therefore unable to make her best contribution in the coming struggle, which threatens to be the most deadly of all. It seems a reasonable suggestion that, in planning for mutual defence, the nations of NATO should first stake stock of the manpower resources of each of the member nations and ask for manpower contributions on that basis. Then they should assess the material wealth of each member nation and apportion the total cost of the defence program among them according to their ability to pay. This would be a more equitable way of distributing the burden, and would enable each member to make the contribution most suited to its means.
