Closer Relations With South
America Predicted After
Canal Is Reopened For
Merchant Ships of World

Panama is to be made the centre of
between the United States and Central
and South America. DR.. Clarence j.
Owens, director of the Southern Com
nercial Congress, accompanied by a
staff of experts, sails for Panama to-
day to begin a commercial and fnan-
cial survey Of that country
DR.. Owens said yesterday that one
purpose Of his mission is to establish
In Panama a Pan-American college Of
Commerce, which will be conducted by
educators from the United States and
South American countries.
"The more general use of the
Panama Canal, which will result from
the ending of the war, will make
Panama the logical centre for
activities looking toward closer re-
lations between North and South
America" he said. "President Porras,
of Panama, favors the scheme and so
does our own government. Our coun-
try now holds the balance of trade
$4,000, 100000, but it is singular that
the South American countries hold the
balance of trade against u.s."
Other members of the commission

the Federal Farm Loan Board; Colonel
II. R. Preston, president of the Hamil-
ton National Bank, Chattanooga
Tenn; Robert M. Estes, statistical ex-

5000 Tenants Combine
To Fight Landlords
People Of Brownsville and
East Nep York Are Ready for
Var With the pr0fteers

" Af " eoe ttc sOJIsSSf
With the closing Of the municipa
courts in honor of the 77th Division
yesterday interest in the housing sit
uation centred on the growing inten-
sity of the landlord tenant feud IL
Brownsville and East New York. Alder
man Barnett Wolff declared last nigh
that 5000 tenants are lined up with
the Brooklyn Tenants League for 8
finish fight.
Mr.. Wolff contradicted previous
statements that tenants would physi
cally oppose eviction. He said every
legal means will be brought to bea1
to prevent tenants being dispossessed
But" added Mr.. Wolff, ''the leaders
cannot be held responsible for the &C
ton of the people if the people are
further baited by the landlords"
Mr.. Wolff, who with former Assem-.
blyman Abraham I. Shiplacoff and AS
semblyman Charles Solomon, has or
ganized the Brooklyn Tenants League
Operative Bakeries, said that not one
tenant would be put into the street
although every court order will be
explicitly obeyed
0When we have exhausted every
legal means Of keeping roof over the
head of a protesting tenant" said Mr.
Wolff, "and the tenant is about to be
dispossessed, we will arrange for some
ether family in the same house to
shelter the dispossessed family"
"The temper of the people is being
sorely tried They have been imposed
upon by food, clothing and shoe prof
+boi tok an
from them by excessive charges is more
than they will stand"
The average increase in rentals
in the Brownsville section, statistics
compiled by the Tenants League show,
is from 40 to 70 per cent in eighteen
months. Flats which we're SIP month
are now from s19 to $21; SIS for
merly, now $22 to $25; $21 formerly,
now $32 to $35.
Signs of the protest Of the tenants
are in evidence throughout the district.
Placards in windows read: "Down
With the Landlords!" "Strike Going
Demand 10 Per Cent Decrease in
Rents!" "No Reduction, no Payl"
Three Methodist Episcopal churches
in this district will be fitted with cots
to-day, to be ready to receive evicted
tenants. Cap>~A C. A. Goldsmith,
Of the Mayors Committee on Rent
Profteering, made the arrangements
when he learned of the acute situation.
According to members of the Mayors
Committee, the offer of the churches
to house evicted families has brought
landlords to a realization of the mean
ing of a dispossess. AS result, it was
said, many of the proceedings have
been withdrawn and in some cases the
rent raises have been rescinded.
Forty-seven municipal court justices
will hold a conference on rent profiteer-
Ing this afternoon at a o'clock in the
office of the Mayors Committee, Room
1920, Municipal Building. Chairman
Hirsch, of the Mayors Committee, will
place at their disposal the information
CLEANED in an investigation into con-
ditions.

Legislature Won't
Be Called to Act
On Rent Problem
Governor Smith Announces
That Reconstruction Com.
mission Has Plan for Co.
operation With People
Special Correspondence

Special Correspondence
ALBANY, May 6.-There will be n
extra session of the Legislature to act
on rent profiteering and the housin;
problem. This was made evident to
day by a statement which Governo
Smith issued before leaving for New
York. While recognizing that "rea
Crisis" exists, the Governor feels con
tident that the problem can be solved
by his reconstruction commission
He believes there is no need of an i'm
mediate change in the laws and tha
much can be accomplished toward end
ing the difficulties by spirit Of CO.
Operation"
The Governor made his announce
ment following numerous inquiries as
to what the state is doing to put ar
end to the practices Of gouging land
lords. Mayor Hylan had named a com
mlttee to urge the Governor to call az
extra session Of the Legislature tc
remedy the situation.
Governor Smiths Statement
The Governors statement follows:
I'm my message creating the Recon
struction Commission, | requested that
body to make special study of the
housing problems of the state. l askec
them to make every endeavor to secure
the fullest information, and after
carefully studying it to make recon-
mendatlons looking to the permanent
welfare Of the state.
They advise me that their studies
made thus far indicate that the in
creasing rents and the shortage of
housing are more than local issue
Their inquiries, which are not limited
to New York City. but are already COW
ering the state, ow that they will be
statewide.
MANY people have the mistaken idea
that all reconstruction problems press
ing for solution need an immediate
change III our laws. AS much can be
done to solve some of these difficulties
without new laws as with them, if we
can bring about spirit of cooperation.
Commission Has Plan
II am informed that the Reconstruc-
tion Commission has plan for meet
ing the immediate housing situation
that will afford an opportunity to the
people who are able to take advantage
OF such privileges, to cooperate with
the state in solving the real crisis,
which am advised exists. The COM
mission Is considering measures of
practical and immediate relief, and it
is essential that these measures be
such as to result eventually in suffi-
clint and better housing at moderate
rental costs"
A rent profiteering and housing in
vestigation is to be made by a legisla-
tive committee provided for in the
Abeles resolution, adopted in the last
week of the session. Speaker Sweet
has already named the Assembly mem
bers of the committee, and it will start
work just as soon as Majority Leader
J. Henry Walters names the Senate
members.

Autonaotives

Forty-three cars have been entered
for the 500-mile race, to be held Nav 81
on the indianapolis speedway. This is
nearly the record entry list for this
event, the only years that exceed it be.
ing forty-f1ve cars in 1914 and forty
six cars in 1911. Although many OF
the cars named by the American driv-
ers are combination specials, there are
also some out-and-out racing models
that are worthy to compare with the
best Of the foreign entries.
There is a team of Ballot cars
driven by French drivers. They hope
to get the votes. Sunbeam and Peu-
geot cars make up the rest of the for
elgn starters. There are no German
entries.
The following letter, relating to the
Knight Wheelock automobile bill, was
sent yesterday by the undersigned to
Governor Smith:
In this mornings papers you are
quoted as saying: "The best pro-
vision the bill contains is the exam
nation requirement. There would
be fewer people killed and hurt if
every operator had to undergo a road
test such as chauffeurs take"
trust that that is a true quotation
of what you had to say, because in
the phrase every operator"
hes exactly the solution Of the mat
ter
The Knight Wheelock bill does not
apply to every operator in the state,
but only to those who operate cars in
greater New York. Is there any rood
reason why the lives of persons out
side Of greater New York should
not he similarly safeguarded by
statewide RECRUITMENT of examina-
tlon and licensing?
pass over the practical impossi-
bllity of actually examining those
persons who now have operators IL
censes in New York State in time to
qualify them for driving again under
the new bill if it becomes law. There
are nearly 10000 persons in New
York City who have operators IL
censes, and the Secretary of State
has said 1T would be necessary to is
sue pro forma" new licenses to those
VINO after year had shown their
ntness to operate cars. In other words,
there Will be no real examination Of
most Of the persons who TODAY are
driving cars and who are the ner-
sons, according to their critics, who
are causing all the accidents right
now.
would most respectfully urge that
you do not sign the Knight-Wheel-
ock bill or any other similar meas
ure which does not provide for
statewide examination of motorists.
Under the provisions of this meas
ure those who constantly drive in
New York are required to take out
licenses. whereas those who come
from without tho limits of the great
er city apparently are free ia drive
here without examination or license.
1t seems logical to believe that those
unaccustomed to our traffic condi-
tions will cause more accidents than
those who drive hare all tho time.
