Met at U Station. ‘When the majority of delegates ar- rived this morning at Unlon station they were met by members of the ‘Washington Real Estate Board, head- ed by J. C. Weedon, chairman, and Morton J. Luchs, vice chairman, of a | special “reception committee. = The : visitors were conveyed td their hotels by an_ automobile committee, of which J. Dallas Grady was chairman and J. D. Sullivan vice chairman. Many of tre officers of the associa- tion arrived here Saturday and Sun- day. President Hiett, Secretary In- gersoll and Publicity Director Goss were the first arrivals early Satur- day morning. ‘Wives and children .of the realtors are being entertained by a _ladie committee in charge of Mrs. H. Clif- ford Bangs, chairman, and Mrs. Clarence Dodge, vice chalrman. While the men of the delegation are having luncheon as guests of the Washing- ton realtors the ladies will lunch at the ShoreFam Hotel at the invitation of Mrs. Bangs' committee. Following the luncheon this after- noon the delegates recorvened in committee Session at 2:30 o'clock, the ladies going on a&an automobile trip to Arlington cemetery, where they viewed the tomb of the un- known soldier. “Experience Meeting. Tonight at 8 o'clock the “experi- ence meeting” of the national associ tion will be held, during which se: sion the delegates will review realty conditions in their home citles and towns.

At 7 o'clock Tuesday evening the Washington realtors will tender the visiting men a formal banquet in the Willard, to equal to 50 per cent of the adjusted ! Other members of the | ing resulting from the passage of a! | longs to usan.” i | I Unanimous approval of Washington as a convention spot for business organizations of a national character was voiced today by officers of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, attending the midwinter meeting at the Willard Hotel of the executive committee of that body. It was the consensus of opinion _among these realtors, many of whom lived here while serving the govern- ment during the war, that the Na- tional Capital is properly referred to as “the capital of the world,” where legislative, industrial and civic *prob~ lems of national and international importance should be considered and worked out. os SVESE “Your beautiful city, clean in its appearance, clean in its political at- { mosphere, seems a fitting randezvous for the mingling of the realtors and lawmakers of the land, whose laws are protecting thersubstantial men of the country, whose efforts have made it possible for them to invest their savings in real estate and Securities controlled by the reliable realtors,” declared James M. Franciscus, vice president of the National Association, on his arrival here. The same opinion was_ voiced by Irving Hiett, president of the asso- ciation, who was in Washington as an official of the United States Hous- ing Corporation during 1917 and 1918. Washington World Capitak “Washington is naturally the ‘world capital,’ " said Mr. Hiett. “It's beaus i tiful avenues and streets, imposing public buildings, freedom from indus- trial nuisances and its fine residences add to its desirability as a gathering place for world notables. In_this connection Secretary Petty of the Washington Real Estate Board asserted that Washington is destined to become the convention city of America It was pointed “out that business men are now engaged in financing a great convention hall project, designed to care for any assemblage coming to this city. “To many of us this meeting in Washington is something of a re- union,’ remarked Secretary Tom Ingersoll today. *“Willlam E. Shan- non of your city, who was manager of the real estate department of the United States Housing Corporation, is the Washington representative on! this committee. Many of the attend- ing realtors served as investigators, appraisers and negotiators with headquarters here during the war. ‘Not only is it a reunion for many of us, but we all feel that in a sense it 18 a homecoming. This beautiful city—we say it with pride—be- Predicts Strides Forward. Robert D. Clow, jr., another vice president of the National Association, a frequent Washington visitor, stated: “It.seems quite fitting that we men who are interested in shaping the policies of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, should gather here in the nation’s capital, where not only national but world policies are formed. “The big work of the National As- sociation is to lay down a policy for Jocal realtors to follow and to assist them in the organization of their real estate boards. Over 200 local boards were formed last year, thus bringing several thousand realtors into inti- mate association with the greatest business organization in’thg United States.” . Many of the visiting officlals pre- dicted great strides forwar@ for the real estate profession. John T. Sloan, New Haven, Conn., said in an jew toda: i e e ime. 1 rapidly approaching when the only man who can be suc- Cessful in this profession, so close to all classes of people, must be one who, if not a realtor, must live up to that high standard set by the members of Peh National Association of Reall Boards.

Vice Prestdent Franciscus pointed out that realtors have adjusted their business and budgets to suit conditions and are preparing for an active spring arket. He continued: “The law of economics, together with supply and demand, will solve the present conditions and be the means of starting many large busi- ness and commercial structures that are now being delayed because of the high price of labor. “Many securities offered for sale are exempt from taxation, while real estate mortgages are not. This has caused large sums of money to be withdrawn from the investment of mortgages, thereby lessening the op- portunity for financing buildings on a large scale in our retall and com- mercial districts. “My opinion is that if the govern- ment continues to permit the now exempted securities to be free from taxation, then the mortgages should be included and put on the same plane, otherwise these securities, to- gether with mortsages, should be subject to federal tax. “If this condition could be corrected it would stimulate investment in downtown district and permit build- ings to be erected and would greatly improve the real estate market gen- erally.” A national code of ethics defining the relationship that should exist be- tween agent and agent, agent’and client and client and agent has been promulgated by the National Asso- ciation. This code, based fundamentally on the Golden Rule, has been acuvepted and adopted by the 400 member real estate boards of the association. The purpose of the code is to foster, fiust, friendly relationship between ager\'s, and, second, to bring about more el cient business co-operation. Thes factors result in better and increased service to clients, it is stated. Other associations and business or- ganizations have investigated and studied the code of ethics of the National Association of Real Estate Boards. MISS SCHURMAN WEDS. MANILA, P.
