The same question might will be put in regard to local conditions especially the lack of open spaces. The tendency is to build within city limits, and though. one or two of the larger enterprises have gone out to the New Territories, there is sti

more out there. The factories would draw the surplus unemployed workers from the old towns, their custom would attract shopkeepers, and the main housing enterprise could be undertaken where land is cheap and in accordance with a national plan.

The chler difficulty ជវំ the scheme lies in its magnitude and the enormous capital expendi- ture required, which would be £400,000,000 to £500,000,000 for houses," and as much again for land, factories, shops, roads, etc.

The proposal by General Sir Frederick Maurice and other dis- Linguished Englishmen for con- centration of new industries in a hundred

towns is worth examination. They start from two known facts that a certain num-- ber of new industries will have to be accommodated in new factories in Britain during the next ten years, and that not less than 1,000,000 new houses will have to be constructed for the needs of the community

these two requirements should be satisfied by a single plan.

They point out that new fac- tories will be constructed in Britain during the present year designed to employ 45,000 workers. But since the pre-alump year of 1929 may be regarded as more normal period, during which new factories for the employment of 75,000-men, were constructed, they take that as the basis of calcula- Lion, and assume that, during the next ten years the development of new British industries will require

to presuppose some form of state guarantee, and would probably re- quire the setting up of à National Housing Corporation, which has been frequently advocated on other grounds. If the Government could be prevailed upon to guarantee. a loan at a modest rate of interest. the first necessary measure would be a national survey with a view' to the future population and the regional town planning-1 task not beyond the powers, of a Gov- ernment bold enough to take a long view.
