TS of the rent laws are to be made. Early coirt. decisions will be desirable, 'f there are holes in the laws, it will be well to know this soon So that necessary repairs may be made at the reg- ular session. : : The Real Estate Board has retained able counsel to attack the laws. Tenant organizations should em- ploy able defenders, even though this may’ cost money. - Some of the rent laws might not stand the test of constitutionality ff it were not for the circumstances that occasioned their passage. The Real Estate Board correctly describes this when it says “the legislation was enacted largely in response to public clamor.” ‘There was public clamor, and with reason. The public faced a dire emergency. The rent laws are emergency measures, rising out of the emergency and Bmited in time to the duration of the emergency. The rent laws can be defended only as emergency measures. They rest almost exclusively on the Police power of the State. As permanent legislation they would be indefensible. But in the emergency tifty were necessary. Courts have recognized the broad implications of the police power in many other emergencies, WHAT GOES UP COMES DOWN. IHE Wheat Growers’ Association of the United States, an influential organization of 70,000 farmers, has launched an ambitious project looking to the valorization of wheat. ‘Those in the scheme are not to sell until the market price reaches $3 a el, which would allow the growers a more satis- factory profit. » Valorization fs by no means a new idea. Valori- zation of coffee by the Brazilian growers and Gov- emment was moderately successful because Brazil had almost a monopoly of the world’s supply. - The wheat market, on the contrary, Is a world market. Recent experience in sugar and silk should be fair warning to the wheat growers. It is not impossible that a movement to force the price of wheat to $3 might prove successful—for a time. But as surely as any group of growers causes an artificial scarcity in the national market, supplies of wheat will flow in from Canada, the Argentine, Australia and other producing regions, Then when the break comes tt will be all the sharper. Prices will go down with a crash, as they did in the sugar market, and the growers who failed THE EVENING W In size without any corresponding growth in ability. | Many students of the question believe that a smaller body would be more efficient and useful.

Congress never has worked in this manner, Probably it is too, much to hope that it ever will, but there is reason for strong public opposition to any further increase in the size of the unwieldy House. A SHRUNKEN HOOVER. Americans who admire straightforward think- ‘ing as a national trait the spectacle of a man like Herbert Hoover trying to persuade himself and others that he is a Hardirlg Republican is a pain ful one, qualify as a Harding supporter by deliberately fore. ing his naturally keen, direct mind to descend Into unworthy ambiguity and quibbling. By talking of “2” League of Nations at one mo- ment and “the League of Natlons at another, by speclously dwelling upon “principle” as distinguished: from “methed,” Mr. Hoover no doubt thought be could make himself took like a campalgn Republican without doing too much violence to his honest pro- League record in the past. It was too subtle a job, however, for Mr. Hoover. His natural sincerity refused to be wholly sup- | In his Indianapolis speech, Mr. Hoover set out to | pressed—with the result that his speech is no more an arraignment of the Democratic Party than it is a solemn warning to Republicans that “the test of the integrity and statesmanshIp of the Republican Party” is the carrying out of the promise “to put into living being the principle of an organized association of nations for the preservation of peace.” This phrase—"ihe principle of an organized asso | ciation of nations” —ts the slertder thread with which | Mr. Hoover tries to tle himself to Harding, even | while recognizing that “forty nations, comprising three-quarters of the people of the globe, have em- braced the League of Nations.” A year ago, before Herbert Hoover was overtaken by Republicanism, his mind had to perform no such contortions when it faced the existing, functioning League. He said then: “One thing is certain.

A maa datory tor these peoples would be comparable to a “Big Brother.” The United States, since the Spam ish-American War, hab practically been the mandatory for the Philip- pines and Cuba.
