AN ominous (to the Japs) note
comes from Russia, where

Russian magazine, makes sharply
critical and slighting remarks

Russia, is practically the voice of
the government.)

'J i- - i
I PJPEARANCE before the floseburg city council Monday
night of a group of tenants protesting recent rent in
creases poses a disturbing problem one which has brought
much trouble to many other communities throughout the
country.
It is one of those festering- sores resulting from cancer
ous., inflation; hidden, siow-trrowimr. vet saniDinur the
strength from those who, by force of circumstances, become
its victims. . The sufferers are those not benefitted by aver
age wartime wage increases. Income of the "white-collar1
worker, the federal employee, the clerk and, particularly the
person on fixed pension, has advanced but little, if at all.
Yet living costs have mounted steadily. Food, shelter and
clothing are essential to life ami, when the increased cost of
these- necessities surpass the income of the consumer, we
experience the direct result of inflation. It is the fixed-wage
earner who suffers most from inflation. That is why we
must, through every possible curb, attempt to avoid its
spread.
On the other hand, there are persons earning high wages
m essential industries who would gladly pay the rate of
rental the persons in less favored inqome brackets cannot
pay. Consequently those landlords interested in .the great
est possible returns from their investment can be expected
to boost rents to the limit.
Some owners of rental property, naturally, are more in
clined to take advantage of profit-making opportunities
than are others. As a result disparities arise, as ja always
the case rwhen the balance between supply and demand is
oil-center. .
The federal' government has attempted to solve the prob
lem in some. areas by establishing rent control districts. A
department, of the Office ofjPrice Administration sets arbi
trary rentals, usually cutting back all rates to a period be
fore, the upward spiral began. Ordinarily there is no at
tempt to equalize or determine actual rental values. , Rather,
as is tho case with such regulations, they are arbitrary and
frequently result in great hardships.. To set rentals back to
what they were two years ago, for instance, obviously would
be unfair to those landlords who have consistently main
tained low , fees ,011 their properties. In many cities where
cat control measures were placed in force, homes and apart
ments were. closed, and, occupancy was refused at the rates
fixed by the government agency.
We., do, not, want, a rent control district established in
Douglas county. Our rentals are considerably below the I
average lor like communities in the state. Wo have not
investigated, but we imagine the highest rentals in Rose
burg are not out of line with the charges normally imposed
in many cities of like circumstances throughout the state,
even under federal control.
In fact, tin a recent reconversion project it was necessary
for the property owners, to pay a considerable sum of money
fo make up tho difference between the actual rental fees and
the amounts necessary to amortize the cost of the improve
ment That was because the average rents in Roseburg
could not be exceeded in the reconversion unit, while the rate I
was not high enough to pay the expense, of alterations dur
ing the period in which control is to be vested in the government.
I5ut if a few landlords step out of line and impose rates j
wmcn become exliorbilant, inflicting great hardship upon
tenants, then stern measures will be necessary. Those who
will suffer moat are those property owners who have tried
to be fair.
. Consequently tho situation is one which calls for the ex
crci.se of tolerance, unselfishness and a spirit of coopera
tion on an sides. .Property owners, business interests and
tenants should strive to settle the matter without forcing
federal control.
we nave neurit oi some instances in which hotel and
apartment rentals have been boosted as much as 80 per cent.
While the present charges may be comparable with those
made elsewhere, yet such an enormous increase, particularly
upon tenants with fixed incomes, is a great hardship, espe
cially when, because of the existing housing shortages, these
tenants arc unable to move to other quarters. It is to be
Hoped that landlords and tenants will, strive to work out
this problem satisfactorily and that the use of foreo will
not bo made necessary for, in such event, it will be the
property owner who will suffer most

Coast Guard and
Marines Shown
WASHINGTON, June 22 (AP)
The, personnel strength of the
navy, marine corps and coast
guard stood at 3,400,646 men and
women on May 1, Senator Walsh
(D-Mass.) reported in a senate
document entitled "The Decline
and Renaissance of the Navy,
1922-1944.'?: ........ ' ,
The total included 8,727 women
officers and 71,980 enlisted
women.. ... ... ... ....
In contrast,' the total strength
of the navy and marine corps on
June 30, 1938, was 11,695 officers
and 122,631 men, said Walsh, who
is chairman of the senate naval
affairs committee.
After reviewing the decline of
naval strength from the disarma
ment conference of 1922 until the
late 30"s, . Walsh noted that the
navy's permanent authorized
strength today is 5.299.480 tons
oi Battleships, aircraft carriers.

rines, compared with 780.000 tons
oi under-age ships and 300.800
