GROWING DEMAND,
Dealing with the question purely from the point of view of the public interest the gerend viaw of the profession is that the Act should be permitted to lapse in Jane, 1923, because continuance of res- trictions would provide no remedy for the housing deadlock; it would merely stabilize the position of sitting tenants, and do nothing to solve the larger problem-the provision of houses for the homeless: it would intensify the difficulties, by pro longing the restraint on building while the requirements of the community for more honie would automatically increase; the sources usnilly responsible for pro- viding capital for building purposes would remain closed; the conditions likely to

be less favourable to a return to economic conditions than those now obtaining.
If it is considered necessary to continue restrictions, beginning should be made towards a return to normal conditions by reducing by stages the number of houses to which they apply. With this object it is suggested that the houses of higher rental valne, first included under the Act of 1920, should be freed from restrictions from June, 1923; those first included in the 1919 Act should be freed from June, 1924, while the lower rented houses covered by the original stitute should be given until June, 1925:
In addition to this the following huld not come within the operation of my extending Act
Tenancies created in respect of a period after June 24th, 1923, in the case of other than sitting tenants;
