Urge Compensation for
Farmers Up In France

PARIS (By Mail) The question of
the introduction of law for the COM
pensation of tenant farmers by land
owners for improvements effected by
them during the period of lease has
ben discussed in France many years.
Such law is opposed by the land
lords, and insisted upon by the farm
ers. Some economists consider such
a law subversive to private property,
and they also urge the material diff
fculties associated with the introduc-
ton of such a measure.
However, the measure is practically
feasible, since the actual compensa-
ton for amelioration already exists in
the price which new tenant has to
pay after the expiration of the lease,
when he has to pay additional rent to
the owner for the improvements eff
fected by his predecessor upon the
farm. In the absence of such a law of
compensation the landlord may be
tempted to change his tenant at the
expiration of the lease, with detri-
mental effect to the property. Such
cases have already taken place.
