It has organized itself, has developed a code of ethics, has become increasingly consclous of its responsibilities to its fellow realtors, to its clients, and to its community. “It is now going through a period of tedting. Dealing as it does with one of the essentials of human life—shel- ter—it is just emerging from an era in which ‘there has been a serious shortage of this essential. Because of the shortage, Government has imposed upon the real estate business rent con- trol regulations declared to be of an emergency character, but which in one case were extended long after the date first contemplated and in another are still in force, with the possibility of being further extended. Such Regulation Opposed. “The organized real estate business has taken a determined stand against the continuance of such emergen regulation, has stated that such regu- lagion tends to defeat its own purpose by discouraging building and has de- clared that it can and will by itself prevent abuses. In the conspicuous instance where, despite prophecies of abuse, the rent control regulation censes, the organized realtors did make good on their declaration. This was a demonstration of the ability of business to govern itself. But what further may properly be expected of the real estate business : self-governing, responsible, publi spirited element in the community How far, in the public interest, may present regulations be done away with; what present or proposed regulation: such as licensing of brokers, are in the public interest and in the interest of the real estate business?
