FEBRUAR TUES DAY, Answers to YOUR WAR QUESTIONS Send Home-Front Queries to Regional OEM Information Office In Care of This Paper Q.—I am employed on a govern- ment job.

We are doing an ex cellent job getting the m through; however, its much fast- er than in the last war, and ut- most attention is given mail c Unknown by required to ap- the bill of complaint filed th t styled on the first April 1943, otherv e allega- ns of said bill will be taken as West a _ to whether ‘inflation’ ‘apartment in Key West toda mn expres- a of the views of its rea but the editor reserves ¢! to delete it whieh are considered libelo ‘The writers be published wnless other wine, CARLETON REPLIES Editor, The Citizen: Inasmuch as I am ‘person who wrote on your “Question Di jr s grant me further space, not to “Back Water” but to push ahead. Your editorial asks the ques- tion “What is the difference be- tween a landlord who complains jand the man who complains he can't get all the coffee or ga line he desires”; there is all the ‘difference in the world. Coffee and gas are scarce com- modities, for reasons we all know; a tenant’s rent is not commodity and it is not as rce” as it was formerly and ; what proportion of his income he pays for rent neither adds to nor substracts from the com- modities for our fighting forces, and commodities are what they heed, not money. Ins't that clear? I did not miss your editorial in the slightest— I thought and still think that very, very few houses are being withdrawn from the market be- cause of rents fixed by the I did not speak of “high ; I merely mentioned a job in the Navy Yard at $100 a week and made no comment < it was high, or low or average and it cannot be de- nied that wages. of $100 a week are being paid in the Navy Yard. You say that “what a man earns has nothing to do with the rent he pays”; indeed it does, when the igovernment attemp to freeze all prices to pr inflation which is the avowed object of rent and. other price controls. then literally all prices should be frozen, to at a parity, not just rents. obvious that such is not the case, hence my suggesion that rents nd wages and commodities be ept at their former parity; there nothing wrong with that, is there, unless “the prevention of not the purpose of price control You make the dogmatic state ment that the amount of the in- vestment is the determining factor in setting rents 4 that because a “delighted to r cent on prime lord should be satisfied with five percent; well, renting furn- ished houses in war times can hardly be compared with a-prime ecurity. You state that percent will net percent on any the only commenting of Live or the point of a “gross of 12 leas rented hou: that is just not so, with county and city xes alone amounting to 442 percent to which must be added depreciation on building. heavy depreciation on furniture and the normal depreciation on building, to say nothing of the factor of vacancies (no house is occupied 365 days in the year) and the further loss from _ten- ants who skip without paying— yes, there are such, believe it or . not JUDICIAL TR OF FL 108 W New York y You are hereby required pear to the bill of compla ainst you in the ENRIQUE Solicite HERBERT N.

Such b ing the case a landlord is cer tainly entitled to much more than the same return a banker gets on a “prime investment”. If this is no time “to squabble! over percentages” why do you I certainly mentioned so} entages nor did I “fume and} against “strictures’—or did {you mean “restrictions”? I re-| ‘ported objectively that there were two sources of dissatisfac- tion and explained each and you have done nothing to disprove my assertions; I did not assail the Rent Board—I pointed out their limitations; I did not “buck the government”, I merely di: agreed with one of the Admin- istration’s ideas; when and if we| reach the point when one can- not publicly disagree with the Administration, tnen we will have dictatorship. I said “Uncle Sam” is arbi- trarily taking away from one class (landlords) to .give to an- other class (tenants) and the landlords don't like it; is there anything wrong with that state-| ment? Or is there anything wrong in making that state-| ment? Very truly yours, GUY CARLETON. Key West, Fla., Feb. 22, 1943.
