If there are valid objec~ tions to such proved resuits, we might as well all shut up shop and wait for starvation to overtake us. “That such a proposal will do these | things has been amply proved in New | York. In the first six weeks of Op- erationsunder such a law there. the | value of buildings for which permits | | were {ssuéd was 61 per cent, or §1 000,000 above the same period last year. i “People must have housing at prices | | they can pay, and there are only three | ways to achieve this: One is the way | Senator Calder warned us we would get if the shortage of 1,000,000 homes is not soon met—the way of social- fem: that is. government construction | of housing, with rents fixed. of neces~ sity, below the wasteful cost of such | construction, and the difference made | up by taxing business. The second way is the one we are laboring under now—governmental rent-fixing. with | its abrogation of the sanctity of con- tracts. This may keep rents down, but every one agrees it will prevent eonstruction of the_1.000,000 homes the country needs. I hear this belief confirmed on every hand. “Only American Way.” | “The third and the only American way is to depend on supply and de- mand and to clear away restrictions on its free operation. No one today | questions that the demand is immense, = =T =% 1 but various restrictions have prevent. ed supply from working for the last 8ix years. For the public welfare we must remove what restrictions we can.

I have more faith in | the law of supply and demand. Let this plan increase the supply, as Mr. Richards agrees it will, and a few va- cant rooms will soon adjust rents in an Amer] n way, with no abrogation of contracts needed to protect the | public. “In_his estimates of the tax loss, Mr. Richards also has included all building construction at full walue, whereas the measure the housing group advocates would exempt only housing construction exclusively, and that for not more than 3$5.000 of the value of any house or flat in any case. The loss this would cause, which Mr. Richards now figures at $2 year, would thus be undi when added to the tax rate of the en- tire city.” REV. H. B. LEE BURIED.
