He fixed the following as the real losses of the European belligerents: Germany-,- 8,700,000,000 pounds- France,1 6,250,000,000 pounds; the United ' Kingdom, 5,200,000,000 pounds; Italy, 2,100,000,000 pounds; Belgium, 550,000,008 pounds. .. ; t Two Belligerents ; Prospered ., r To only two. belligerent countries the "United States and Ja"pan did the war, bring prosperity, Mr. Cram mond said, but Spain, Holland, Swit zerland, Greece, and Scandinavia, also had grown wealthier. : He be lieved the "liquid capital of - the world, now , distributed in eenters which are unaccustomed to the ex ercise of their new powers," would eventually again find its chief out let through London.

Assuming that the post-war pur chasing power of the dollar was 70 per cent of lt8 pre-war value, Mr, Crammond said during the past five years there had been an actual in crease In the national wealth of the United States of approximately thir ty per cent,' and he estimated this wealth now In the neighborhood of 70,000,000,000 pounds to 80;000, 000,000 pounds. - ! The national wealth of Japan; he estimated, had been doubled by the war. Situation in Germany .. -On the basis of a post-- war mark valued at 50 per cent of its pre-war value, he estimated Germany , has lost ,apart from the indemnity. twenty-six per cent of her national wealth, the whole of her mercantile marine, all her colonial possessions. and practically the whole of her In vestments abroad. If the figures suggested at .he Hythe conference. b,Zio,ooo,uuo pounds, were fixed as the German war indemnity-he de clared the total losses of the German 1 people arising out of the war would be equivalent to about 15,000,000, 000 pounds, or one-half her national wealth.' .":''; :..-;...' -y-'i '. "So far as the world, as a whole is concerned the principal loss Is in the fact that Europe is not yets 'a going concern, ' he continued, "but the underlying economic ; forces which made her the great center of the world's commercial activities are still at work and will rapidly trans form the economic situation in.

(Bj .AuMelated PrauV : : , NEW YORK, July 12. The new state rent laws are ineffective and have not deterred profiteering land lords from continuing, rent gouging assaults on thousands of tenants is New York city, according to Leo Kenneth Mayer, chief counsel for the mayor's committee qn rent profiteer ings i.'i-: a- ' - The landlords are adopting diverse methods to circumvent the new laws, Mr. Mayer declared, and have been successful to a certain extent. , The three chief dodges employed by " the landlords : as outlined by Counsel Mayer are to: ' . . , Three Chief Dodges Notifying tenants that their leases will not be renewed' ufies3 they are willing to pay, exorbitant rentals" -If they refuse to meet this increase1 the tenants . are then ousted by due pro cess of the law. . - Notify tenants' that' the premises have , been sold on the co-operative plan, . but ' offer to sell them the apartment, if they will pay the exor bitant sum asked. s ' , . i' . Show, a higher .valuation .on their property by inter-transfer of proper ty through alleged sales and thus be able to' extract a higher .rental. The first method, according to Mr. Mayer, is the most popular, but . is rather slow,, as it takes from one month to one year to legally eict a tenant. - : . The cooperative selling plan, he declared, was one of the new inven tions of the andlords to exploit the tenant, v i .-... .. . , . The transferring of property on the pretense of making a bona fide sale and thus increasing the valua tion . of the premises is one of the latest dodges, Mr. - Mayer ; explained. By this , method the landlord "sells" to a relative or business partner, then . "buys" the property back again, and thus runs up the valua tion, which will command a higher rental under the state laws. ;V. The entire legal staff of the rent committee has been placed at the disposal ' of tenants in their fight a gainst the rent profiteer. Land lords who are inclined to be fair are meeting their tenants in the offices of the committee and are arranging new leases with their tenants on definite terms. Handles Many Cases t i: The rent committee, which has been in operation for fifteen months, has handled more than 80,0JD0 cases, of which 62,000 have been settled in and out of court. Of the remaining cases, 8,000 are listed as hopeless and no settlement is possible. There,, is a constant flood of com plaints into the committee's office, which. is visited by about 5,000 ten ants every week. . ' The committee s office staff of sev en,; according to Mr. Mayer, handles more than 2,000 complaints by mail dally, besides from 250 to 300 tele phone calls. The committee, which is maintain ed asa municipal department, is making an investigation of these claims and furnishing legal talent free of charge to all worthy cases.
