Next: to the Selective Service Act, ‘which drafted able young men to fight for this nation’s survival in the date war, we think the OPA and its various adjuncts has perhaps been the hardest thing Americang have had to bear: In principle we believe that it was and ts not only necessary but vital to our survival in-a chaotic world of fluxuating currencies ,and disrupted trade. But in practic, those chosen to make OPA work, the poor human agents, and poor and weakly they have been, have failed miserably in the administration of price control measures. Take for instance rent control. The OPA officers will not tell a man how much rent he charge, but tell him to go ahead and rent his flat, apartment or house. After he hag rented it and the tenant. has moved in, the OPA then. decides what rent he can charge. If the rent is one figure, say $60 per month, the OPA cuts it by 10, 20 r 25 per cent. There is wo. known instance in which the OPA approved . the rent agreed upon between landlord and tenant in the first instance That is, no known part of the _ state. might if he chose, favored tenant rentals, but the OPA justice “to a moment est the r instance in The let a house to a at away below current . hardly conceivable the n it is raise other te would all would con landlord fair rental] ts an r the. int of and raise the ntal’ to ‘its value, If our OPA officials had b 1h ed they eould from hildhood we doubt if have of @ brew of th eonetrize if tion ‘business than they } 8 catastrophi stakes te m4 but at last congress has learnS ed that vast Gtlantities of lumber are! being to g exported avoid the U.

The only comfort we can hake in this situation is the same comfort we give a dog. Fighting fleas keeps him healthy. (However, the thing we plead. for is not the abilition of OPA. It is merely that President Truman, between yachting trips on the Potomac, take a good square look at the whole setup and then go after it with stable broom.

We need price control, God/knows, but not the kind we are getting.
