120 THE HOUSING QUESTION " me point out to him that there was no promise with regard to War Savings. It was a contract, which is a very difierent thing from a promise. There have been no contracts with regard to houses, and the only promises that I know of in regard to houses were made on election platforms. . . Sir F. Banbury was of course wrong. The promises were not merely made on election platforms. They were made in the House of Commons by Ministers when the Housing Act of 1919 was passed, as has been shewn above. But what a strange thing it is that undertakings given to property owners are “ contracts " and " debts of honour," but when given to the working classes and the general mass of electors are mere “ promises " which can be broken as easily as pie-crust and with equal impunity. The Nation can find £60,000,000 to compensate railway companies, and £50,000 to give to Sir Eric Geddes, the great axeman, to honour an alleged under taking made to that champion of the taxpayer, by his former employer, the North Eastern Railway; but if asked to build the houses to deliver the men who won the war from the pigsties to which they have returned*—well it is only a promise and not a contract. Why trouble any more about it ? * "To let them come back from the horrible water-logged trenches to something little better than a pigsty here would be criminal and a negation of all that has been said during this war." —Lord Long, when President of the Local Government Board, 1916.
