LOW RENTS ESSENTIAL

TT is encouraging to discover that the Pub
l. lie Works Administration is insisting that
Stun clearance projects now under consider
alton be devised SO that the lowest possible
rents be charged in the completed buildings
An elaborate housing program was de-
vised for one large manufacturing city, and
it was figured that the new apartments would
retn for approximately ST a room. PWA au-
thorities notified local authorities that this
figure was too high, and that federal funds
would not be forthcoming unless revision
was made to bring the rentals down.
This is extremely sensible. scale Of ST
room would make a five-room apartment
cost s35 a month, and there are plenty of
people who simply can not afford to spend
that much money.
Furthermore, they are precisely the people
who occupy slum quarters, and whom hous-
ing programs are designed to help There
would be little sense in replacing slum dwell
ings If the new quarters were too expensive
for their prospective occupants to use

GREEN HE'LL

TINE undeclared war between Bolivia and
L Paraguay for title to a jungle known as
Green Hell has lasted for two years in spite
Of peace efforts Of the League Of Nations, the
United States and the Pan-American con-
ference. Thousands Of lives have been sacri-
feed. herds and flocks depleted, millions Of
dollars wasted.
The folly Of this and all other wars can be
seen in preparations one of the belligerents
now is making to pay the piper. Regardless
OF whether she emerges as victor" Paraguay
Is preparing now to center Oh reconstruction
program This involves, among other problems,
the care OF invalids and orphans, employ
ment of denobilized soldiers, economic re-
Mobilization and heavy financing Whatever
mite Of glory this mad adventure yields, the
aftermath holds only personal grief and ma
tional suffering.
II bigger nations, suffering such pains
fifteen years after their own experience,
need any new lessons here it is One side may
win Green He'll, but both will suffer the
economic hell that follows every war.

MILK-A PUBLIC UTILITY

DISPATCHEs from Washington assert that
II the farm administration is thinking OF
making the milk distributing industry public
utility, subject to all the governments Ieglila-
ton that any other public utility must I'M
dergo.
Milk distributors have been asking the
government 10 guarantee their prices and
their profits, and this suggestion Of a public
utility's status is reported to be the farm ad-
ministrations answer.
There are some ways in which this looks
rather like good idea. Supplying milk 10

such control to tho business Of supplying milk?

BACK-DOOR GOVERNMENT

THERE always has been White House
Il back door. IN some administrations 1t
has been more important than the front door.
The boys with pull slipped in and out. And
then somebody got a government job or
government contract, or a government policy
was fixed.
More often. however, these little matters
we're attended to through other back doors
the fxers operated directly through govern
ment departments, saving the White House
from embarrassment.
At the moment a senatorial committee is
investigating alleged operations through the
back door Of the postoflce department during
