Accustomed to breaking even or losing money in the summer months, most prop- erty owners with rooms or homes to rent have had their pick of _ tenants_thtough think about rent WOosts for the winter and’ _} Just to condition themselves against any sudden shock, however, property owners ought to begin considering the fact that any general] increase in rents here would run directly counter to the efforts of the navy, which is attempting to provide low eost housing for its civilian workers and the families of its personnel. Exactly -how price control will be | worked out still is a mystery after months of talk on the subject, but it is fairly ob- vious that some type. of rent ceiling must be established in cities such as Key West | where there is a shortage of housing. The government undoubtedly will ask for cooperation ‘in a voluntary campaign Ygainst rent mereases, but should that fail, definite level ‘beyond which property own- ers will not be permitted to go. | Work here must continue, tourists or no tourists, and it would be impossible to get workers and keep them here if rents | were allowed to go up in proportion to the demand, As with gasoline control, there is no and not contaminate the reader; never com- promise with principle. : ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN Water and Sewerage.

Apparently, we will just have to wait and find out. | DEFENSE PROGRESS IS AMAZING We doubt very much if the people of | the United States have any idea of the im- mense drives which have been made in this country in the mobilization of our indus- | trial plants for the production of defense materials. There has been so much discussion of | various problems, including bottlenecks, strikes and other matters, that most of us | have overlooked many items indicating the | amazing progress that has been made. Recently a group of correspondents | spent two weeks on a tour of key defense areas and most of them were astounded at what they saw. Joseph C. Harsh, former German correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor, reports an impression of defense progress far beyond anything that he expected to see after being depressed by what he had seen in Europe during the past | few years and the stories of red tape, labor | stvikes and inefficiency which are being assiduously cireulated in this country. He tells of mighty factories which have sprung up over the country and says that when one sees what they are produc- ing and realizes what they will be produc- ing in the immediate future, the adverse factors dwindle into relative insignificance. | The reader should understand that the expenditures for defense in this country have just begun. At the end of June only $6,000,000,000 out of the many billions ap- propriated for defense were expended. During the next twelve months, this sum will be tripled and there is a_ possibility that it will be doubled in the following year, Luckily, the United States has had ample time in which to construct new in- dustrial plants and to secure the machine tools that make mass production possible. | The government has allocated more than | three billion dollars for new plant construc- tion. Some of these plants are now begin- | ning to go into production and others will | come into the producing stage very shortly. When all the wheels begin to turn, the | production of tanks, planes and other fight- ing material, equipment and supplies, will give the world a new conception of Amer- | ican efficiency and industrial genius, COUSINS. AT $1,000 EACH | A 75-year-old heiress recently left an | estate of $570,000 in Washington and speci- | fied that $1,000 was to go to each of her | cousins, regardless of “remoteness” of re- lationship.
