Housing Report
AIlOwsHigher
Room Rent
New York Governor Shows
His Satisfaction

A decided victory for the New
York landlords in their fight to mulct
city workers out of additional rent
was won for them in the recOmmen-
dations found in the State Housing
Boards report just made public.
While the governors commission
recommends that the Emergency
Rent Laws be continued until June,
1928, it nevertheless, advocates that
the law shall apply to all apartments
renting for SIS or less room in
New York City, instead Of $50 or
under as at present.
False Friend.
The pretensions of the Tammany
governor, Al Smith, as a friend Of
the people" is once more riddled by
his statement upon receipt Of the re-
port Of the Housing Board in which
he expressed satisfaction with its
recommendations.
"Their recommendation seem fair
and just to me-" he said.
It is the slope" Of the board that
by June 1, 1928, housing conditions
in New York City will have i'm
proved from the tenants viewpoint
to an extent where the emergency
laws can be permitted to die.
Landlords Encouraged.
In the meantime, whereas those
paying rents OF basis Of SIS and
less per room, will continue to get
the benefits involved in the emerg-
ency rent laws, those paying more
will again be at the mercy of the
landlords whose morale has been
greatly strengthened by their pres
ent victory at Albany.
Pressure is now working two ways
on the New York cave jewellers just
below the point where the "emerg-
ency" laws begin to function, it is
revealed in the report of the commits
ton. From below, families are
cramping themselves into smaller
( aalrgers, Il only to find better homes,
and deserving the worst houses. Con-
struction within the past four years
have been without precedent, it is
reported by the body, but the relief
reached only those families able to
pay the higher rental.
Poorest Suffer Most.
By its own admissions the gover-
nor's commission makes clear that
the plight of the great masses Of the
New York workers is still as fright
full as it ever was.
"The present shortage in New
York." the report says, sis most
in the range of SIS room month
and below" Declaring that "the
board has been impressed by the
amount of over-crowding and conges-
ton which appears to be a part Of
/ the permanent living conditions Of
New York City" it concludes with
the startling statement that "the
temporary congestion due to the
emergency of 1920 and 1921 has UNI
! questionably passed. But there still
remains a condition which is ex-
tremely dangerous from the physical
and moral point Of view Many in
dividual cases were called to the at
tention of the board IN its public
hearings"
Frightful Crowding.
An almost ironic twist is given 10
the recommendations of the commits
sion by its recital of evidence of ex-
IRENE suffering and conditions dam
gerous to the public health. 1t quotes
testimony Of Dr. Louis /. Harris,
Health Commissioner of New York
City, who said study made in Sep
TENDER and October, 1926, by the
nurses Of the Department of Health,
revealed frightful over-crowding in
many parts c. the city.

Loss Of British PRESTIGE.

LONDON, March 1.-The defeat
suffered by the British when the Ma
tionalists took over the Hankow con-
cession has weakened British prestige
in China with soldiers of north and
south, and the growing confidence of
the Chinese in their ability to handle
the imperialist troops is considered
a serious angle of the situation by
foreign office officials.
The foreign office has instructed
Sir Miles Lampson to send an at
tache of the Picking embassy staff
to Hankow to keep in touch with
Eugene Chen.
A recently recruited body of White
Russians paraded in Shanghai last
Sunday with detachments of soldiers
from the warships of the imperialist
powers lying in the Shanghai har-
Dor.
Exaggerated reports Of friction
among the high leadership Of the
Koumintang is being circulated by
Reuters, the British official news
agency. The Associated Press in
China depends on the British agency

to Universal Service and the London
Daily News, declares: Especial privi-
leges must CO." He demands the re-
turn Of the concessions.
4.-Koo, talking to the Daily News
correspondent in Peking, explained

tions or the World Court on the sub
ject of treaty revision is planned.
