THE HOUSING PROBLEM.

Bad as the housing problem was at home, in Shanghai and elsewhere before the War, it is very much worse to-day: so bad, indeed, that something drastic must be done by the powers-that-be to cope with the lack of houses and also to put a stop to the rascally rapacity of certain profiteering. landlorda who still persist in the predatory habits of feecing right and left and all the time. The matter has gone much too far, and steps must be taken to ensure fair treatment for who rent houses, for they

those

are..

ક ever, by far the most numerous and by no means the Icast

important members of the population.. Now-a-days, It seems impossible to get a house at a fair rental and to get one a reasonable or even on any kind of lease seems like crying for the moon." Such state of affairs: should not be allowed to continue. and there is no need why it should continue. During the long period of the War there was apparently some justification for increased rents.

There was practically little building being done, material was at a higher price, freights were higher, and there was a general uncertainty about everything that caused one

to

be reconciled to rentals of houses and other things that belonged to an abnormal period. With the passing of such a time, it was of course ex- pected that there would be a re- currence of a normal state of affairs. But what do we find? We find that nothing of the sort has happened. We find, instead, that rentals are in- creasing; are out of all proportion to value received or security of tenure offered. Is this what ought to be or what was very properly ex- pected? By no means. And the 300Ler it is put stop to in Y Shangba and elsewhere the better will it be for all concerned-the rapacious landlords included. To- day salary earners are paying, Örs an: average one-third of their earnings for house rent, whereas they should not be called upon to pay any more than one-tenth. Either salaries must be fucreased or rents lowered-and very much lowered. This is a matter which should be attended to by the Municipal Council here as elsewhere. It should have been attended to long- ago. It has now become an intoler- able hardship, and one that cannot be and ought not to be borne much longer. This housing problem, it

Mr. Bonar Law says that if the nation does not make every effort to improve conditions, "It will be faced with a spirit of sullenness and even of anger which will be fatal to trade, industry and credit." The landlorda have as much, if not more to do with this | matter of improveïdéit, as any other» section of the community, and Fit ia up to them to see that they do their bit.” In Eng- land 180,000 housing proposals, we read, have been finally approved. More than 100,000 tenders have been approved, and 30,000 houses are în the course of construction. What has been done or what is likely to be done in this respect in Shanghai?

FAMOUS MANUSCRIPTS

STOLEN.

Paris, Jan. 18.--One of the most Eiterature part of the famous Ro valuable manuscripts of medieval man de la Rose-has, says the "Petit Parisien." disappeared while on its way from Verry, near Dijon, to Meaux, on January 7. At the time when Bossuet's Cathedral City was threatened by the German invasion just before Marshal Foch'a great of- fensive began all the moat precious heirlooms of the museum and library were hurriedly removed. They were being brought back in a sealed rail, way wagon. On the way this was opened, and four cases were forced and two abstracted.

If the Petit Parisien" is correctly informed, some extremely rare works disappeared. Only three or · four ' examples exist of the Roman de la Rose, and of these-the Meaux manuscript, adorned with miniatores in vellum, is the most perfect. A unique Liber Horarum, is also misa. ing. It contains 150 wood engrav. Linga, dating from the beginning of the use of copper plate. Also a manuscript Bible and four 'manu, scripts of the History of 'Meaux, by Rochard...

The Petit "Parisien" does not state Whether the missing manuscript. of the Romance of the Rose belongs to Guillaume de Lorris's poem or to a later portion by Jean de Meung.
