Russia after World War One. Though he didn’t declare himself publicly, Stone strongly advised President Coolidge that the United States should take the leading re- suming diplomatic relations As Attorney General, he told Coolidge it was none of our busi- ness what type of government Rus- sia had, as long as the Russian people themselves accepted it—and that idealistic reasons were not suf- ficient grounds for one nation withholding recognition of another. However, Coolidge did not take Stone’s advice. Charles Evans Hughes, then Secretary of State and later Chief Justice, ruled oth- erwise. If Stone’s advice had been followed, the long period of Rus- sian isolation would not have en- sued, and Soviet suspicions, now so strong against the rest of the world, ,would not be difficult to break | down today.

McCarren, Rent Di-| rector, states in an official ruling of the Office of Price Administra- ion. Explaining the erning rents, the Rent pointed out that any type of pay- ment made by a tenant to a land- lord in conrection with the use and occupancy of housing accom- modationgy, constitutes rent. “Rents can be adjusted upward lonly upon individual formal order jof the rent director,” he further ex- ‘plained. “In cases where taxes |and operational costs have increas- ed unavoidably since the freeze date (March 1, 1943), rent adjustinents can be made, provided the net in- come is not as much now as it was before rent control.” ACROSS .
