District Real Estate Market REEVES
When Building Operations Slow Down

The real estate market situation in
Washington gradually is being cor
rected with the slackening of building
operations and the demand for houses
and apartments will. in the near fu-

Crane. Paris & Co, investment
bankers of this city, declare in re-
cent statement reviewing business
conditions here thus far in 1927.
''Washington's prominence in ma.
tional and international finance, its
attractiveness as a home city, its edu-
cational advantages, its appeal as a
tourist point, and its Importance as
an information center to the COM
mercial and business interests of the
country are growing every year." the
statement says. THAT it is sure to
show a steady increase in population
over a long period of years seems Ger.
tain. 1t is expected that within the
next five years upward of $4,000, 900
will be expended by the Government
in building construction in Washing

that office building managers must

1T was inevitable that building OK
pansion in the District of Columbia,
particularly in cheaply constructed
houses, built in many instances by in

for ready funds, should come to an

AMERICA BLAMED
FOR RADIO DELAYS
British Delegate Charges
U. S. Attitude Holds Up
Air Agreements.
By the Associated Press.

A little static hovered in the other
wise clear atmosphere of the Interna
tional Radio Conference yesterday
when f. w. Phillips, British delegate
precipitated an Anglo-American dis
pute with charges that the United
States was slowing up the efforts tC
rewrite the radio convention of 1912.
Mr.. Phillips declared in a commit
tee meeting that Americas attitude
as to the inclusion in the proposed
convention of subsidiary agreements
or regulations affecting the manage
ment of radio concerns was so uncer.
tain as to cause repeated delays in
reaching an agreement.
He added that if the United States
did not desire to pronounce herself
upon problems as they arose. but
wished to wait until the whole con-
vention was drafted to decide whether
she would subscribe to it or not, then
the other countries should proceed as
if there were no American proposals
before them.
Representative White of Maine,
American delegate, replied that the
principle of leaving private operating
concerns free to determine questions
of their internal management was
clearly visible in the American pro
pDSalS. He added, however, that the
United States would not insist upon
The clear definition of this principle,
but would be satisfied if. in fact, no
