tenants or landlords may apply
but, needless to say, the appli-
cants are usually tenants.
~
THE tribunals are not out to
stop the landlord from making
a profit but they do aim to see
that the tenant gets a square
deal. In the majority of cases
that are brought before them,
the tribunals order rent re-
duction.
For example, of 258 recent
cases acted on by the Padding

furnished premises. Or else
the landlord would offer "serv-
ice," which often proved to be
nothing but hot water.
n
BY these devices the rent for
a typical flat in a London bor-
ough was raised from $700 a
year to $2,515. A 2-bedroom
apartment, on which the unfur-
nished rent was $500 a year,
was rented furnished at $4,000.
This practice became SO wide
spread that the government was
bombarded with public protests.
The rent tribunals are the re-
suit.

we can avoid the narrow cultism of

satisfied egoists who fondly but
enormously believe that they re-
present a civic perfectibility that
will die with them, America is just
on the threshold of a greater ad-
vance toward civilized living than
the world has ever seen. But to
attain the heights we must be sus-
tanned from within not only by
fortitude, but by humility, and we
must be supported from without by
those carefully, but eagerly selected
brothers and sisters from abroad
who can add their high qualities to
our own to make better men and
women on the average than have
ever dwelt here.
The Daughters Of the American
Revolution should have realized
long before this that he who con-
stantly looks into the past shrinks
into the past, just. as he who looks
with confidence into the future
thereby uplifts his spirit and gives
purpose to his life. They should have
learned long ago that genius knows
no nationality and that TRUE artis-
try has nothing to do with the pig

But Mr.. Ramadier hopes to OBJ
tain enough wheat and other COM
modities from the United States to
force prices down.
With Communists out of the cabi-

to enforce more equitable system
OF distribution, and destroy the

cause Of Frances predicament today.

to resign two weeks ago as premier

too, has succeeded in disposing of
the Communists who, while in the
cabinet, were stabbing him in the
back by vetoing all constructive
economic and financial policies. The
Italian people are among the hard
est working in Europe today and
recovery would have been possible
II the Communist ministers had not
used policy of intimidation to
nullify all the honest efforts of Mr..
de Gasperi.
Whether the efforts Of the French
and Italian premiers will be Sue
cessful, now that they have rid
themselves Of fifth columns in their
administrations, remains to be seen.
The Communist leaders believe the

government in the two countries.
They are convinced that the at
tempt to stabilize the economies of
both countries is doomed to failure,
and that If living conditions have
not improved materially by the end
