EVIDENCE BEFORE THE COMMITTEE.
(Press Association.—Copyright.)
(Received 8.5 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Mr. Griffiths, before the Increased Rents Committee, said that high rents were chiefly due to the increase in the price of labour and materials. The present prosperity was not ephemeral or extravagant. Th e products of Australia received world-wide recognition. _ The Commonwealth was merely beginning to realise a larger share of the general prosperity than in the past. There might be modifications of prosperity, but never anything like the bursting of the land boom.
