THE ATLANTIC ALL THE WEEK IN ONE DAY Editor JOS. THOMAS Post Box 199 Limón, Costa Rica Number 61 February 10, 1951 Year OUR A SK In The Basket of the Week FROM OUR DESK BY THE EDITOR When a friend is carried to the grave, we at once Find excuses for every weakness and palliations for every fault; time worn adage runs thus He that holde fast the golden Mean and we recollect a thousand wrongs which hitherto glided from our minds lives contentedly between, feels not the wants which pinch the poor nor is he We forget completely the thousand favours un. re. paid.

If the rich or wealthy would General Eisenhower Arrives in London give a human consideration to the serious economic struggles of the less for tunates of our great human family, they would, no doubt be ready to give a helping hand.

We are charitable to consider the expense of the present day house builder; he has much to face for materials and labour, but cannot see no law of justice in motion for those house owners who, perhaps, by orders of the Sanitary Department are ordered to build or repair sanitary conveniences or to replace en aged worn piece of flooring or siding and after accomplishing this necessary work, increases more than double the rate of rental. Then it is a take the new condition or get out. There is not an avenue to appeal for justice as far as the tenants are concerned. On the other hand many occupying tenement houses for fifteen or more years have fallen in arrear with their rents and are rubjected to rigidly enforced dishousing procedure. While mindful of the foct that many of the tenants who owe large sums to landlords have been somewhat careless, General Eisenhower, on his tour of West European capitals as Supreme we do feel there are delinquents who should not be so hard pressed.
