a half century ago, men could have' foreseen the transportation revolution, they would have agreed that it meant an end to the congestion of population in the limited areas of cities.

It must be said that thus far the victories have been all on the side of the skyscraper, the elevator and an ever-increasing congestion of population. "Some recent studies by engineers and sociologists have led to doubt whether the superior efficiency of the very great cities as business, industrial and cultural centers can be taken altogether for granted. They have advantages, but they also have disadvantages, and the disadvantages seem to be multiplying fastest.

"I do not presume to judge between those investigators who conclude that the. cities must inevitably go on with their rapid rute of growth and those others who tell us that transportation and industrial programs must be made to counteract this tendency and bring diffusion of the population masses. But it must be apparent that whichever view is correct, many and dimcuit ana cosv- Iv readjustments must ho made.
