PURPOSE ACHIEVED.
Received Wednesday, 7.0 p.m. LOXDOX, Sept. 18. A Bedford House squatters' statenient said the squatters were eonfideni they had achieved their purpose. ' '-Those who were ignorant of our plight now know and those who knew and- ignored it, are now ashamed into a sense of urgency that London 's homeless shal! be housed. We deplore tne inhumanity of a law which can act so on behalf of property and against the welfare of human beings," it added. About 300 squatters will march out on Friday in accordance with the committee 's decision. After the surrend.er of the squatters ip. the Duchess of Bedford's house, .those in Ivanhoe Hotel capitulated last ni'ght and withdrew carrying a few possessions. This morning a poster bearing- the words: "Six hundrea rooms vacant! Why be homeless!" flapped forlonily from the first floor of the- d.eserted building.
