S. w. STRAUS SEES NO DROP
IN RENTS, BUT FEARS INCREASE
Also Points Out Well Defined Sentiment
Against Higher Rate of Interest
Than Per Cent.

That rentals are not likely to de-
cline under present conditions is the
declaration of S. ". Straus of New
York. in an analysis of the building
situation issued today.
Although the processes of liquida-
ton now in progress have brought
recessions in the prices Of nearly
every commodity OF life. it is of the
utmost significance that rents have
tendency of prices for housing ac-
commodations is toward higher lev
els. thus making more substantial the
income from property" Mr.. Straus
observes.
1T is also noted that a well defined
rate than per cent for first-class
real estate mortgages is making itself
felt.
Readjustment Taking Place.
Internationally a far-reaching and
permanent readjustment of income
from real estate investments is taking
place. 1t is fact generally con-
coded that in many instances and To-
calities income from improved prop
erty previous to the war was too low.
Estates and large holders of realty
were in such cases not able to secure
a return commensurate with the in
come derived from many other forms
of investment.
"An indefinite continuation of these
conditions would mean a slowing
down of the building industry, and
the present readjustment Of rental
income. therefore, is a very favorable
indication and will help the entire
housing situation and real estate
market.
while there has been a great
amount of public agitation against
the present range of rents. it must
be borne in mind that any conditions
or influences, whether they be legis-
lative or economic. which have the
ultimate effect of diverting capital
from building investments to other
channels. simply impose additional
hardships on the public in the long
run. The law of supply and demand
must hold full sway in the final
analysis. Property rights must be
safeguarded, and, if the nations hous-
ing conditions are to be restored to
normal. everything possible must be
done to encourage the flow of cap
ital through these channels OF in
vestment and not divert it else
where through adverse legislation
which would stop progress or through
unsound financing brought about by
too high interest rates on real estate
investments.
