ANGLO-FRENCH UNANIMITY

London, November 20.

"We only came out when unsaimity was reached" smilingly remarked M. Camille Chautemps, the French Prime Minister, at the conclusion of this evening's Anglo-French conversation, which denotes a remarkable success in the first day's business ranging over a wide field.

Firstly, Lord Halifax fully reported on his impressions of his recent German visit, and then the statesmen explored the co- lonial question in all its aspects, and agreed that a further ex- amination would be necessary. After this the altuation of the Little Entente was debated in view of M. Yvon Delbos' departure for Warsaw on Thursday, after which he will visit Bucharest, Belgrade and Prague.

When the Far East was discussed both sides fully agreed on the seriousness of the position and the need for further vigilance to said. guard

Recurrent reports of lurge arms shipments to China by various foreign Powers are given by the newspaper as the major reason for this tendency.

Placing Britain in the same cate- gory as the Communist Inter- nationale for various alleged anti- Japanese activities. the "Asahi i Shimbun" referred to England as Japan's "disguised enemy." The newspaper alleges liberal assistance in the form of money and arms is being given by Britain to China, and Britain is also stated to be mobilising journalistic and diplo- matic agencies to influence world opinion against Japan in order to "Isolate her from an ally!"—" Beiter.

MESSAGE AWAITED

He pointed out that only 180,000 dwelling units were constructed annually between 1930 and 1937 compared with 800.000 annually be- tween 1922 and 1929, causing an accumulated shortage of dwellings in the face of normal growth of families.

President" Roosevelt emphasised that housing was thus a very pro- mising private enterprise, and he estimated that between six and eight hundred thousand dwelling units ought to be built annually in five years to overcome the short- age.

The message had been eagerly awaited by Wall Street and büsl ness circles in the expectation of a strong programme offering co- operation between the Government and private enterprise,

The President declared that private enterprise and capital must bear the burden of providing the great bulk of the new housing, but the Government would co-operate with financing facilities. As a first step $50,000,000 would be made available to the mortgage associa- tions..
