BLAMES HOUSING SHORTAGE
ON FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
81 speclaI Correspondent.

By Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Sept. 9:-In joint
statement issued here today by Re-
publican State Chairman E. c.
Stokes. National Committeeman
Hamilton Kean. of Elizabeth. and
United States Senator Frelinghuy-
sen places the blame for the pres
ent housing situation partially al
the door of those in charge of the
federal reserve banking system.
The curtailment of credit through
the federal reserve bank system has
struck a deadly blow at building
operations throughout the country.
said the statement. Banks are I'M
able to extend credit TO building
associations that make home build
ing easy and to operators who are
expecting the necessary houses, the
remedy of the credit situation by
those ip-authority will facilitate
the placing of mortgages and loans
to home buildings.
The practice of speculative pro-
fiteers in unduly raising rents on
their tenants, especially in apart
ment houses, cannot be too strongly
condemned. The commission ap-
pointed by the state with power
over renting profiteers would be
able to adjust fragrant individual
cases that an infiexible law might
not be able to reach. The problem
requires the serious and statesmen
like attention of the Legislature"
