Mr. Kotchen was asked many 'questions from the floor, all seek. ing an answer to the landlord plight as they put it under. rent control. Unfairness Noted.

He was asked why should families with high incomes be permit-ted to live in public housing units when a housing shortage still existed. The unfairness of many families with better incomes living in cheap rents wag also pointed out. Another realtor stated that it seems that real estate have been made to bear the burden and responsibility of low income groups. All other segments of the economy have passed the buck to the real estate industry, they have been permitted to raise their commodities in line with cost of living whereas the landlord and property owner are still held down to 1940 and 1941 prices. The Rent Control Act, one realtor said, allows no incentive for people living in low-rent houses to move.

It was further said that very few rental housing projects were being built because of rent control and 'that few investors were willing to invest their money in new construction. Mr. Kotchen replied in the spirited discussion which followed his adress that the fundamental aspect of the situation lieg in a balance of equities. He said that more people would be hurt if controls go off than if they stay on. He declared that according to his experience and understanding that those people living in public housing units, whose incomes ex ceeded the limit set for that par ticular apartment, were being asked to move.

In reply to the query about investors not putting their money into rental housing. he said that during the last year or two, a great many large apartment houses were transferred and people investing their money without any loss.

Sir Alfred divided his discussion of the pact into three parts, First he talked about the possible wording of the treaty, and how the phrasing of the obligations of the signers, concerning military aid to members, might finally emerge from the diplomatic con ference mill. He thought that "military help if necessary," might replace military and other aid, the phrase first used, that caused discussion diplomatic and con gressional circles in Washington. In the second part of his talk, Sir Alfred discussed the coming pact in relation to the United Nations. He said that thought it would be designed to fall with in the United Nations framework and would be linked to the United Nations Charter through Article 51, which authorizes members of the United Nr tions to act in self defense. In conclusion, Sir Alfred dis cussed the concept of the Atlantic system.

He said that when the new pact is ratified by the parti cipating members it will give definition and precision to the fixed determination of the peoples of the United States to base their policy on the United Na tions, and to use the immense power of their government for law and order in the world. "It will give the United Na tions teeth," he said, "not exactly the same set provided in its charter, but a very good set just the same."
