We shall not leave until carl schmidt has come to realize that he himself as responsible for not only the past but the future. We have rid him of hitler, of the general staff, of naziism. We have not rid him of federick, of bismarck, of the kaiser, of his history and tradition. That key must do for himself.

Building materials and labor went to war. The materials that should have gone into houses like this were going into houses like this, roofing,indow glass, steel, paint, flooring.

The shooting war is over, but we are still at war against inflationary prices and rents. Food, rent is the largest item in our budget. Lifting rent controls well homes are still scarce would break all other price controls. Beh a break of a line would followed by skyrocketing prices and the kind of headache we had after world war i, which started when rents jumped 50 after armistice day. With this situation, it becomes of the utmost importance to hold the line.
