Credit is transported by Z something imponderable—confidence. Anyway, Huey the Kingfish, has been aiding the unemployment situation among government printers on the Congressoinal Record. F : Cuba’s original constitution has been lost or stolen. Some of the liberties it was supposed to guarantee are missing also, according to reports. Some people who have been accused of being crooks at some time in their lives revive the accusation by imputing dis- honest acts to home folks, and sometimes even the wish is father to the thought. “Among the improvements advocated by The Citizen, printed hundreds of times in @ ox on the editorial page, is “Bridges to Complete Road to Mainland.” It is to be hoped that imminent events will require us to delete that line and note the ad- vocated improvement as a fait accompli. There's no telling what this economic erisis will bring forth. Now it’s a week’s business ‘‘moratorium” declared by Mayor T. B. Wright, of,Mount Carmel, Ill. During this hebdominal hiatus only a few essen- tial businesses will continue to operate. Food stores, drug stores, public utilities, transportation agencies and a newspaper are excluded from the so-called’ mora- torium. «The new World Almanac has not yet mage. its appearance in Key West, though The Citizen has received a copy from the publishers. In the index the subject “Beer Production in U. S.” is listed as on page 124. Turning to page 124 we find the heading “Death Toll of 1932.” Perhaps the beer production of 1933 will not have such disastrous results—at least not if it is legitimate stuff. Self-liquidating scrip is substituting for money in the pockets of the jobless of Dothan, Ala, The chairman of the relief committee at that place believes that the isSaiice of the coupons’ Which are passed on to the merchants in exchange for goods has solved the city’s unemployment relief problem. If such a planis feasible any- where; it might be tried in Key West, and if it doesn’t solve, it will at least alleviate Ideal conditions. A proposed law which will be recom- mended to the next Florida legislature is authorization for cities to levy a two cents a gallon tax to be deducted from the state tax on gasoline. Most municipalities in this state are in dire distress and must have relief of some kind. The fight on this measure will naturally be whether the amount thus obtained is to be distributed pPépértionately among the various cities or if # ig to be apportioned according to their pepulation. Bankers should know something about money. Do they? Reginald Mc- Kenna, chairman of the biggest bank in England, advises that both America and England inflate their currencies. Qn the other hand, Francis H. Sisson, president of the American Bankers’ Association, warns against an inflated currency. He claims we-do not need more credit but more con- fidence. That confidence can be created *by.a balanced budget, by sound tegisia- tion and taxation. Quite true, but where may these be had? 7 ! sidy, the Glass financial PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE There are many questions of public | importance before the Aimerican people today, all of which should have the con- sideration of the people of our country on | their merits. Such questions as the in- dependence of the Philippines, the sales tax, the farm allotment government sub- legislation and other matters of great importance to the people of the country at the present time, all demand intelligent study if we are to have wise decisions as to what we are to do with them. Unfortunately, the majority of people do not study the facts. _ The attitude of the general public in regard to the recently enacted Philippine Independence act is a case in point. Some of our citizens are inclined to join with Fresident Hoover in objecting to the measure. Others are loud in their ap- proval. The passage of the act over the veto of the president indicates that those in favor of granting independence to the islands are in the great majority. Yet there is a wave of newspaper propaganda declaring that although we have offered independence to the people of the islands, they will mot accept it. Nobody except those who have been in the islands, those who have studied con- ditions on the spot, or those who are en- gaged in business with the Filipinos, is in a position to intelligently discuss the mat- ter. It would seem that those in the best position to decide on the merits of the ques- tion are the Filipinos themselves. That they are opposed to accepting their in- dependence is cpen to grave doubt, not- withstanding statements made in metropol- itan newspapers. It is true that Senator Quezon has voiced his opposition to the bill, but that was because he wanted full independence without any strings tied, unwilling to ac- cept the protective measures in the bill as an honest aid to achieving their full in- dependence in the time specified. But Quezon, while haled as the George Wash- ington of the Philippines, is more of a czar than an unselfish patriot. Major-General William C. Rivers, U. S. A., a retired army officer spending the winter in Key West, who was for a decade in charge of the constabularly of the Philip- pine islands, believes that the Filipinos as a whole want independence and that they are capable of self-government. He be- lieves that “the action of congress is wise and liberal, and that freeing the Philip- pines will not cause commotion in the Far East, and is the best plan for their peace and safety.” Thirty-five years ago, when the Philip- pines became the possessions of the United States as the result of the Spanish-Amer- ican war, the people believed that Manila would become a valuable factor in the de- yelopment of trade between our country and China and Japan. The trade route of San Francisco to Honolulu to Manila to Japan and China appealed to the imagina- tion and the accession of the Philippines was hailed as an advantage. The experience of the past thirty-five years has not demonstrated that they are worth what they have cost us. The islands have been exploited by American capital and it is this capital, reflected in the news- paper propaganda, that is today trying to convince the American people that the Filipinos do not want their independence. What the newspapers are really try- ing to tell us is that the capitalists who have investments in the Philippines do not want it. Their position in the matter is perfectly natural, for with Philippine in- dependence they will lose the advantage of free admission of their products to this country, but their methods of endeavoring to influence public opinion are not honest. MULTUM IN PARVO The Baltimore Sun has the viscera to print the following editorial that has the proverbial nutshell skinned to a frazzle, and we reprint it with all the vehemence of which our endorsement is capable: If congress had the guts to quit paying doles to veterans who were un- scratched in the war it could save $450,000,000, It isn’t the depression that is re- sponsible for the crushing burden of taxation. It is the white livers of the leaders in congress—democratic as well as republican. You always pay when the doctor “treats” you.

He was told that it was only a stock of the stuff that used to be found in barrooms, which had been seized by the lynx eyed officers of the customs ser- vice and was being destroyed by; them. Local fishermen are happy and making the dealers likewise happy by bringing into port large catches of Spanish mackerel and kingfish. Boats arriving during the day brought 27,000 pounds of these choice inhabitants of the waters around Key West. Elisha Lee, vice president of the Pennsylvania R. R. system with Mrs. Lee and daughter, Miss Doro- thy, arrived today for a stay in Key West. They came here sev- eral days ago and left by P. and O. boat for Havana.
