complete survey of New York City
is now being made in order to learn
the exact status Of the housing situa-
tion. The work is being conducted bv
the housing committee Of the Recon
struction Commission, appointed sew
eral weeks ago
AS part Of the investigation, land
lords who have had complaints lodged
against them Will be asked to appear
before the commission and state their
side of the case. If they decline Com
missioner of Accounts IIirschheld will
be asked to issue subpnnas to force
them to appear.
The survey, for the present at least,
Is confined to thirty city blocks Event
ually the entire city will be covered.
Before report is finally submitted the
commission plans to interrogate at least
100000 tenants, who Will be asked to
tell what their treatment by landlords
has been, what the size of their apart
ments Is, how many persons live in
them and what rent is paid.
Official questionnares have lren
prepared. They are being distributed
by volunteer workers, among whom rn
school teachers, discharged soldiers and
sailors and men and women who are
able to devote one or two hours - dav
to the work. '''''
The housing committee learned from
one of It's investigators in The IRONY
that group of real estate speculators
IS working together to raise rents
me name of this organization will be
disclosed later, it was said.
The case of a woman with two chill
dren, who lives in The Bronx and who
mas been ordered by her landlord to
move Tor no apparent reason, was cited
as an example of the attitude of The
protlteering landlords. This woman
walks the streets daily seeking an
apartment, which up to this time sho
mas been unable to find.
Nathan lirsch, chairman of the cam
mittoe. said he had been notified that
the BOARD of Aldermen had passed -
resolution calling upon the general wei,
1are committee to cooperate with his
us
About two hundred complaints of un-
1uss raises IN rents were received YES

Der or motion picture concerns had
agreed to take motion pictures of the
lnVestlgators at work collecting statis-
'lcs on the housing situation.

McAdOo Predicts Loan
WW BE as Big Success
As -Four Ofhcy issues

WASHINGTON, April Success Of
the Victory Loan was predicted by
William G. McAdoo, former Secretary
of the Treasury, in a statement made
public tonight by the Treasury De-
partment. The American people, he de-
clared, will respond to the loan with
the same degree of patriotism which
they manifested in previous campaigns
and Will lend sufficient amount to the
government to enable it to DISCHARGE
"the most sacred debt that any nation
ever incurred'
81 have said from the beginning Of
this war, when l was charged with the
responsibility of conducting the
finances of the governmcnt,o Mr. Me-
Adoo asserted, that it was not ques-
tlon with the American people Of the
rate of interest or any detail of the
Liberty loans. Their patriotism is not
determined by dollars and cents. They
love their country, they revere its ideal
and principles They had dedicated
themselves to noble cause and they
are willing to pay the price in money
and blood, no matter what it is"
New-York tribune., 1919-04-19

generously to the Victory Loan, said
the Federal Reserve Board, in its
monthly bulletin issued to-day
"lf the obligations already taken by
the banks are not hquidatod,' said the
bulletin, commenting on the billions of
Treasury certificates Of Indebtedness
already absorbed by the banks, "the
community at large win suffer from a
continued initiation of banking credit
and from the high prices that are con-
sequent upon this condition of affairs
Only one remedy for the situation now
existing can be applied that, namely,
of subscribing freely for the govern
ment obligations when offered and of
paying for them out of the proceeds Of
savings, either already accumulated or
to be accumulated from time to time.
The responsibility of saving and
conserving resources thus remains with
those who are the recipients Of current
incomes, either from investments or
from salaries and wages, in perhaps n
higher degree than was previously
true"
