And it isn’t eounterfeit either. Millions of honest and legitimate good dollars in this country are now absolutely valueless and useless. This is the money that drops out of circulation. It. is hoarded money. Its owners keep it in safe deposit boxes or in teapots or buried in the back yard. Money has no_ intrinsic value—its value is determined by what it can do when it is working. When out of work, it is as useless as would be a number of similar sized pieces of tin. It isn’t paying taxes or meeting dividends or employing labor or buying supplies. It isn’t doing its part in keeping the wheels of enterprise | turning. There are two distinct ways of put- ting money back into circulation. One is depositing it in commercial or savings ac- counts in banks, or purchasing govern- ment or other high-grade securities. The ‘other ‘is’ by buying needed articles or ef- -feeting ‘necessary repairs. And this way is the best of all. The money spent serves a double purpose. It provides employ- ment and alleviates distress—~and it ob- tains for the spender the supplies and re- pairs at the: lowest prices since pre-war days. Put ‘at least part of the dollar into building renovation, into a new roof or other. house, repairs.or paint, into some labor saving appliance, into plumbing or yard work. You'll get about twice the value you'd have got three years: ago— and you. will have helped the cause of re- “covery. _ America needs more jobs, and less charity. It needs more spending—wise spending, that gets honest and permanent values in return, \ Remember that right now “invest- THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Solution of Yesterday’s Puzzle 13.

NATION CAN LIVE ALONE The ‘present conferences between representatives of the great powers of the world and President Roosevelt, will focus attention on one of the most vital prob- lems of depression—the decline in foreign trade. Secretary of State Cordell Hull re- ceritly said that America’s share of the world’s trade that has been lost in the past few years reaches the astounding total of $6,000,000,000—a volume of bitsiness which at any time would mean the differ- @nee between depression and comparative prosperity. If the general world economic crisis had been wholly responsible for the collapse of trade, the problem would be a good deal less important—all over the world the industrial skies are brightening and the upturn has started. But foreign trade has gone to the doldrums principally for another reason—a growth of isola- tionist sentiment.in the great countries. The result has been tariff barriers and embargoes to a greater degree than ever | before existed. In the modern world, we have anni- hilated space. The telephone, the radio, fast transport, have almost eliminated the former barrier of distance. In this world no. nation ean successfully live alone, re- mote and economically removed from its neighbors. Such a policy is the prelude to international distrust, suspicion, enmity.

Groeeries are good things, but this is too much of a aod thing. One of the ‘aa troubles in Key West is that we have too many things which actually retard the progress of the city. Too many newspapers, too many grocers, too many drygoods stores, too many drugstores, and too many etc. The patronage is not sufficient to. keep them all going at a profit and so none is mak- ing any money. And in a world where such things exist there can be no permanent and sound prosperity.
