total of the philosophy of prohteering.
 dn that mistaken concept was the root of the housing crisis. Some fool
 ish landlords accepted 1t and they
 have nearly deStroyea private prop
 erty in land fo- themselves and in
 nocent fellow-Cwners. Nothing could
 be more unsound in law or econom- icS, and 1t wac because of the incred- fbly stupid acceptance of this princi- pie that legislative interference be- came necessary. The true. inward ness of the housing crisis in New York was this: A small minority of property owners, set out to apply this principle and to abuse the processes of law believing as the law stood, until last April, that the tenant was helpless and that he could be put on the sidewalk in five days before he had, chance to be heard at the bar of justice in resisting duress. The New York rent laws stopped that and that is all they have done or were intended to do.
 q have a draw full of statistics which indicate that gross of Is to 14 per cent. is under present condi- tfons, the minimum economic return from rented property. What of 1t :? 1.3 the owner of property, have a right to take less or get more if l 1 can get it by fair methods and not | by foul means, and no state or city
 or other governmental agency has,
 under our present public policy. a right to dictate to me or to fix that
 rent. The limit of the governmental l function is to prevent me from using foul means, as it long has done un- l der the usury laws
 | "I believe that special parts of ex- | isting courts should be set apart for | this purpose, but in no proper sense should they be regarded as Fair Rent Courts for it means simply segregat- | ing for purposes of administration a
 Judicial function older than any court
 in this country.
 l Apart from their defects in ad-
 rninistraton, which are readily cur | able. no one understanding the New | ork rent laws can find in them any l thing to retard new construction. IT
 we cure that quit constitutional quib-
 bles, leave the laws as they are writ | ten in effect for the next year, we can then turn out attention to the
 real problem-the housing shortage, fcation of the usury laws, a remoVa of the present income tax dlscr1mlna- tion against mortgages, and limited exemption of, new dwellings from
 taxation.

 would rather see the laws fail in
 he courts, than to have them sus- aimed on such dangerous principle.
 '"The New York laws do simply this: they modify certain existing legal
 emedies so as to give the tenant his lay in court and an opportunity to
 esist duress made possible by the ex- sting housing shortage. They do not impair contract or deprive owners or heir property.
 "A lease is not contract and never has legally been held a contract un- ess it represented the fair meeting of TWO minds each free to choose it's course of action. It, is, therefore, idle to talk of the inviolabi1it of a contract procured by landlord from | tenant who faced home1essnesS for his family as the price of refusing to accept an uneonscionable demand
 NO owner is deprived of his prop erty or the use of it under the new laws, and the only limitation on his right to recover is when his sole pur- pose in seeking possession is to relet the property, at more than a 1a1r rental. It is, therefore, idle also to talk about discarding constitutional safeguards and I should like to re- mind those who thus argue, that for a thousand years Anglo-Saxon 3urls- prudence has recognized as com mon law principle a precisely s1mllai limitation on innkeeperS, without re- course to police power.
 ''It is time to desist from cant and sophistry with regard to these IaWs I regret that the machinery or the l courts has, to a degree, broken ooW ! and that in the admin strauon ol these laws through delays in be1ns reached for trial, and haste in trlals | injustice is resulting to landlords. believe that can be cured if the lana lords will cease their legal attacks upon the laws which expire Of thell ew ntterm in 1922 zTd cooperate IT | peditious and just adm1n1stra1lon The laws are unquestionably defec- | tive in their administrative proves ions, but a simple remedy is at mana l if it can be presented in a pupic l spirited, non-factiouS way to the leg islature.
