Automatically creating a UILabel

I want to create UILabels in swift automatically based on need. I.e If my data base request returns 4 values, I want 4 labels, if it returns 1 value, i want 1 label..ect.

So far i have the code below, but it displays my UILabels on-top of each other. I use a 'var spacer' to move the new Labels down by 50 but it doesn't seem to work. 

 for comments in object["Comments"] as NSArray {
         var counter = ""   
         println(comments)
         counter = comments as String

           var spacer: CGFloat = 50
            var label = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 21))
            label.center = CGPointMake(160, 300 + spacer )
            label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center
            label.text = counter
            self.view.addSubview(label)
            spacer = spacer + 50


       }

How can i do this?

Thanks Youseef
