RENT RISE DUE TO NATURAL CAUSES
De Forest Says Strikes Are Partly to Blame
Declares Citizens Help Corruption.

Robert W. De Forest Tenement House Commits
soner under the last administration. before Co
lumba students yesterday spoke of the raising Of
rents the East Side and corruption among ths
officers in the department. He said:
The wholesale raising of rents the Is st Side
by the Jewish owners of tenement houses against
their less fortunate Jewish tenants is simply an
other illustration Of the natural law Of supply and
demand There has been evde nee for several years
that it would come II is exactly what is bound
to happen IN any built up section where house
accommodation is limited and where there are
many persons who desire to be housed just there
In the last five years the percentage of vacant
tenements in houses in the Jewish quarter on the
East Side decreased from approximately per cent
until il is nearly zero. The Jewish residents
prefer to live together. Many have moved away
10 Brownsville and TO The Bronx, but the ever
increasing tide Of Jewish immigration has swept
in to ill the places they left vacant TO more than
overlooking.
Even then it would be possible to cope with the
demand in way through more buildings, but
those who have tried buildings in the last
few months have found that the danger of strikes
has proved TOO threatening. There Is no guarantee
begun. The remedy is in the extension Of the new
Jewish quarters in other parts of the city. par
ucularly in those parts where land is cheap and
vacant lots many and also in the Increase IN
our rapid transit facilities Of every kind-bridges
tunnels. subways-and cheap well as rapid tran
sit over and through them.
