The Melody Lingers
Our experience with rent con
trol has underscored this fact: the
longer we permit political controls
to linger upon the scene, th harder
it is to get rid of them. This is a
good lesson for us to learn. For
two years in succession now, our
Congress has decided to keep the
controls, while adding some "de
control'' features that never seem
to get rid of the controls. So, we
still have rent control.
These efforts to control the na
tion's housing by tampering with
rental units is actually making it
difficult for the country to come
back to a more normal housing
situation following the dislocations
of wartime economy. Rent control
creates very few fair and square
deals between renter and landlord.
Indeed, it brings more injustices
than it corrects.
But the worst thing about rent
control right now is that it keeps
housing scarce. Millions of rental
units would become available at
once, if it were not for rent control.
Veterans and others in need of
housing are suffering under the
direct burden of rent control.
Let Industry Do It.
It has been said that the nation
has more housing per person today
than it had in 1940. Yet. we're
worse off. We need more housing,
yes. But as long as we have rent
control, we may not expect more
rental housing. The hazards of
control and its well-known injus
tices are too easily remembered
by those who could offer rent hous
ing. They will not undertake this
kind of enterprise, when the count
is already against them. Moreover,
the private builders of the nation
do not want to be compelled to
compete with public housing, which
is subsidized by tax money.
The truth is this: if government
would get out of the scramble,
private building would soon meet
the demand for rental units. Com
petition would then go to work in
keeping rents at reasonable levels.
Depend On Incentives.
Yet, there are those who work
hard trying to keep the government
in the huusing business. These
agitators want rent control because
rent control keeps the building in
dustry in a dither and creates these
artificial shortages. These tinker
ers want rent control because they
believe it will help bring sccialized
housing.
When private money is deliber
ately scared away from investing
in rental housing, then the next
step is to holler for the government
to put up housing. Actually, rent
control and public housing are two
pieces out of the jig-saw ' picture
puzzle of socialist and collectivist
controls that the agitators are try
ing to foist upon the nation.
Once a government agency has
power to tell you how much rent
you must pay, whether you can
live In a private house or a govern
ment project, then we are getting
to the place where we can join up
With Russia and all the other Com
munist experimenters.
The Socialists and Communists
know that it sounds good to plead
for "adequate" housing. They
claim to be fighting for the people,
against all sorts of bogeymen. But
the people are not told that rent
.control, together with- public hous
ing, will go a long way toward
destroying the welfare and the
future of our free economy in
America. We mut the future
iepend upon incentives and fair
