Of course no one has sympathy for
the landlord who actually does profi-
teer. who arbitrarily raises the rents
high as the traffic will bear and
keeps his tenants in constant fear of
having to move or pay an exorbitant
rent.
But. on the other hand, while one is
terrlb+y worry for peoplw who must
more or accept poorer quarters, they
surely have no right to blame the land-
lord- if he is not raising the rent be-
yond what the changed conditions
forces him to do.
