In March, 1915, the J.P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding, and powder interest, and their subsidiary organizations, got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press....They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. "An agreement was reached; the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies, and other things of national and international nature considered vital to the interests of the purchasers." - U.S. Congressman Oscar Callaway, 1917

Following the failed effort to achieve federal land use control through legislation in the U.S., the 1976 United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat I) was held in Vancouver and espoused the same principles as laid out in The Use of Land. For instance, the Preamble of Agenda Item 10 of the Conference Report states that:

 Land...cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, con­trolled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficien­cies of the market. Private land owner­ship is also a principal instrument of accum­ulation and con­cent­ration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if un­checked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and imple­ment­ation of devel­op­ment schemes. The pro­vision of decent dwell­ings and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interests of society as a whole. Public control of land use is therefore indis­pens­­able...." (Italics added)
