CORRESPONDENCE,

THE RENTS RESTRICTION ORDINANCE

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE

*

DAILY PRESE]

HONGKONG

St-Having read of the petition pro- posed to be forwarded by the Teonate Protection Association to the Governor in Council I should like to draw the attention of your readers to one or two y facts that at present seem to have been inadequately represented.

ᅣ

In the first place it is quite untrue that the Rent Ordinances protect the

Germany's export trade! I the Ger mans do not extend their business very considerably they will most certainly be defaulters in the matter of reparations. Paradoxical as it seems, it is none the less true that trade stability and relief for the British taxpayer depend not a little on a great increase of Germany's export trade. It is at ance apparent that there must be a great increase in the volume of world trade if Germany is to secure enough to enable her to pay up and if the other producing countries are not to go short. We must not forget that France and Belgium, the United States coolie class as has been often stated. and Italy, are all in possession of indus- The only eins who benefit by them, in trial equipment suitable for intense pro- the long run, are the protected, prin- duction. That equipment was required cipal tenants who, in most cases, are at much below its real value. There must profiteers of the worst description.

These facts are well known to the Tenants' Protection Association, which might with "better, advantage designate itself the "Principal Tepants' Protection Astociation, and I suggest that if the Secretary of Chinese Affairs were to examine closely the, position in life of those who have signed this much vaunted petition it would be discovered that quite 80 per cent. of the signatories were themselves the landlords of sub- tenants, and making a profit from the protection afforded them by the Renta Ordinances, just as it is common know- ledge that in nearly every case before the Courts in which the landlords were seeking possession and the tenants stenuously resisted, the resistance was engineered and financed by Principal Tenants who were making a profit out of the premisea.
