In Calcutta, as we have said, the virgum- stances are not unlike those existing in Hongkong. It is stated that the ever- pressing congestion of immigrants com ing into the Indian Capital from up country is responsible for the housing shortage there, just as the immigration of Chinese from the mainland is respon Bible for the deficiency in Hongkong. In Calcutta, in Hongkong, there seems &to have been big building developmenta during the past few years, with the inevitable result of a rise in the price of land and building materials. It is being impressed upon the Bengal Government that the abandonment of rent control at the present time will menn a general increase in rents and a number of evic tions which obviously will not help to solve the problem, but serve only to aggravate it.
