war.  In  other  words,  the  national  housing  programme
of  Mr.  Bonar  Law  and  Mr.  Lloyd  George  has  amounted
to  less  than  nothing.
This  book,  written  by  one  who  speaks  with  knowledge
and  authority,  is  a  strong  indictment  of  the  late  Government's ­
  record  as  regards  housing.  I  trust  that  it  will
be  widely  read,  and  that  it  may  do  something  to  stimulate ­
  a  live  public  opinion  on  one  of  the  most  pressing
social  problems.
