REPORT OF IRISH
LAND CONFERENCE

London, Jan. 6.-The Irish land con
ference issued volumincus report of
its deliberations, in which ii is de.
clared that the only satisfactory set
tlement of the existing land question
is the substitution of an occupying. or
proprietary ownership of land for the
existing dual ownership AS the pro-
cess of direct state interference in
purchase and resale would be gener-
ally tedious and unsatisfactory, there.
fore, except where owners or half oC-
cupiers so desire and except in those
districts under the congested districts
board, the report recommends that
the settlement should be made be
tween the owner and the occupier sub
ject to the necessary investigation by
the state as to title. rent and security
The report emphasizes the desira-
bilty of inducing landlords to CON
tinue to reside in Ireland, and with
this purpose in view it says an equi-
table price should be paid to owners
based upon income, and that provision
ought to be made for the resale to
owners OF mansion houses and de
mesneS. The purchase price should
either be assurance by the state of
such income. or the payment of a cap
ital sum producing il at three per
cent. or three and one fourth per cent.
II guaranteed by the state tenants re
payments should be expended for a
term of years, securing a reduction of
from fifteen to twenty-five per cent
on rents. To do this may involve
some assurance from the state beyond
the use of its credit, and the report
considers that such assistance would
be justified fully in the future welfare
OF Ireland and the settlement of this
veXcd problem
