Landlords Lot Not a Happ, One

Landlords Lot Not a Happ, One
To tn. Editor Of The star:
You probably will receive many letters
in the next IS months on the problem OF
rent control: AT least there will be answers
to such unreasonable letters as II. d c.
writes. This person whose letter l saw
printed in your column recently. makes the
broad. fiat statement that owners
should sacrifice their hope Of substantial
profits to national welfare" He thinks
landlords should give up trying 10 make
anything when renting their apartments.
He thinks because there is a housing short
age in some places. landlord Just should
give his place toward charity-provlde a
place TO live for some other family. even
If he isn't making living himself of his
place.
III bet, first OF ALL that II. d, {. is not
a landlord In the second place. l would
like TO ask him TO donate the profits OF his
business, whatever il is. TO charity, II he is
a groceryman he shouldn't hope for any
profit for himself he should just sacrifice
his own famiy'S welfare just to provide
groceries TO other families. Would he want
TO do that?
II some people are so poorly paid they
can't afford decent housing. let the Govern
ment build them more cheap tenements.
We did not fall heir TO our homes. We
worked hard TO make them decent enough
TO rent: We deserve some return. Most
private home owners are ambitious people
with pride enough TO want to own their
own homes So why should they provide a
place for the shiftless TO hang their hats ?
Even union laborers. who make big money,
still claim they can pay but $40 or $40 a
month rent. And. on top of that, they ex-
pect you to buy them fuel besides the fuel
you buy for your own home
My wife is III and should not work. but
she has to work because the rent board
will not let us make a fair profit on our
house where we rent two apartments. BY
the time we pay their gas and light bill we
have only 81 left each month.

for German goods Is only one aspect Of
Germany's foreign trade revival. Other
aspects are encouragement Of reciprocal
trade between Germany and other Euro
pean nations. together with trade between
Germany and the rest of the Western
Hemisphere Restoration of German trade
with Latin America will, to be sure, mean
competition with our own exporters there.
But this is part of the process whereby
normal conditions of world trade will be
restored.

Different Standards OF Loyalty

TO the Edstor Of Tns Star:
There Ia a certain class Of very vocal people
Ia the United States who assume that their
own standard of loyalty is the perfect one.
They eye suspiciously any one who would
dare to study the Russian language. VINO
would dare TO use his own intelligence 70
analyxe and weigh the conflicting issues and
values of life In an effort 70 approach uits-
mate truth.
Our founding fathers pledged Us this right.
The right Of independence Of thought Srd
life was fought for and gradually won
through previous ages.
And still there is this class OF people. VINO
receive their opinions dictaioriaily. facing
those whose roots 90 deep with eyes OF sus-
picion.
This Ia the very antithesis Of our country.
II resembles Soviet Russia, which creates tne
opinions and acts Of its CITIZENS.

Frank Kent on Civil Rights
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star
In reference to the article by Frank r.
Kent on March 81, would like for him TO
explain Just how he arrived at the con-
clusion that the people generally do not want
to go along with the President on his civil
rights program when, with that program
definitely embodied in the Democratic plat
form and known by every one interested in
the election he was elected November :.
Mr. Kents statement that the heart OF
the civil rights program is directed at
breaking down all bars to complete political
and economic equality erected against the
Negro in the South Is gross misstatement
of facts. The fact is that the program is
directed not at the South alone but at the
barriers wherever they exist, whetnef IN the
North or South.
If Mr. Kent is going to label the efforts OF
the late President Roosevelt. Senator Guftey
and ex-Chairman of the Democratic Party
James Farley, to gain economic and political
equality for every American citizen. as
cynical political scheme without trace OF
principle. to gain votes, then the Americans
who fought against the English and taxation
without representation, and the people OF
the District of Columbia who are fighting
for the right to vote all are guilty of political
schemes. A
However, Mr.. Kent's article serves good
purpose in that If it is not refuted 1t will
certainly assist large number OF us who 90
vote to make up our minds on coming
elections. Again, agree that there are lot
of hypocrtes in both the Democratic and
Republican Parties, who, like Mr.. Kent. say
on one hand that the race question is
gulf which can and should be bridged out
haven't the courage to help do the Joo.
The Communists certainly can use Mr..
Kent's article to help prove their point that
M Congress has any intention or
supporting the Constitution and giving every
American his economic and political rights.
A READER AND VOTER.
To the Editor OF The Star:
Just finished reading the Sunday article
by Frank Kent pertaining to Civil Rights. 1t
Is a we'll written, timely affirmation putting
forth undisputable facts.
But Mr.. Kent could have gone further and
stated that the intelligent and educated
members of the Negro race know these facts
and are not deceived by those who would
draw us into controversy to aggrandize their
own ambitions.
Such movements which thrive on arousing
the animal instincts in man, such as hate,
envy. etc, are supported mainly by people
who have not yet learned the use OF reason:
YOU have to look only to the racial preJudice
in the South to learn that the most violent
cases are to be found among those VINO are
called white thrash" by their superiors IN
social strata.
have been a constant reader Of your
paper for many years. and am thoroughly
convinced that the fair stand you take on
the racial question is fair to both sides; ano
YOU are to be complimented on allowing both
sides of any question to be heard.

EDITORIAL
ITEMS OF INTEREST AND OF WORTH

YESTERDAY THE AVIS carried four new items. These
tour new features are in line with the regular policy of this
paper to expand it's services according to what we feel are the
needs and interests of our leadership. In the past we have
tried to add and to use items from near and afar that follow
that general aim and purpose. These items seem so very good
to use because they combine Entertainment and informa-
ton IN an easy and an interesting manner. Each daily item is
small and takes only a few moments to glance at, yet over the
weeks and months we feel that our readers will store up a
great fund Of useful and satisfying information We are sure
that q number Of our readers will want to clip out and save
one or more of these series forfeiture reference. These columns
are very widely syndicated in the States and have been we'll
known in newspaper circles, 1t was recently made available
to a newspaper in this area.
H LOOK and LEARN" column has the quality of
making the learning of facts about history and the world about
history and the world about us just like a facinating game
The questions and answers are short, but it is surprising how
readily these items spring to ones mind weeks or months la
tel. Very often this sort Of information is invaluable in a pro-
per evaluation and understanding Of the daily news of the
world.
o CANIPOUND a nail into a plaster wall? 1t seems
that this is one of the most annoying and universal household
problems. In HOUSEHOLD SCRAPBOOK" Whose very
title is a hnt) we find many solutions to the problems of house
holding that recur year after year. Almost every item in this
column can be put into use now or in the very near future.
ETIQUETTE IS A subj Jet that almost all of us have been
concerned about very often in our lives. Lack of proper usage
and knowledge is liable to deeply offend a dear-one, a friend
or a business associate. Good etiquette is a credit to a person
that uses it and a courtesy towards the person to whom it is
directed. MODERN ETIQUETTE" not only gives us the in
formation but often an amusing sideline- on human nature
