(the Herald evidently doesn’t know the proper designation for a place where car- Goes are stored without the requirement for the immediate payment of duties), and, like the German superman of 20 years ago, Miami, the supercity, supereiliously turns its back on other cities in Florida, “which aspire to the establishment of a free zone (not port, as the Herald as persistently called it, for there is no such thing), and depreeatingly sweeps back its hand, as though to say, “You other cities go ‘way back and sit down: we saw it first.” | ‘The fact is, and the Herald knows it to he a fact; for it has published stories abeut it, time and again, Key West began a move- ment 12 years ago to try to have a free zone established here, and five years cael as also was published in the: Herald, a thorough survey was made and a map drawn for a proposed free zone in Key West. g “We do not want to. appear boorish about this»business,” says the Herald, ‘but’ ‘“every“other harbor authority in Florida goin, to try.to grab the bone , we saw “tne won't be any free port.” hg the places the Herald men- re Jacksonville, Port’ Tampa and Palm Beach, that were after a “free port,” but the Herald was careful not to mention Key West, because the Herald, though hav- ing enough gall to be boorish or ridiculous, didn’t have sufficient gall to be | untruth- ful, beeause the Herald knew that Key West had started a free zone movement before Miamians generally knew that av such thing existed. ; ' “4 free port is suitable only in a place whieh can be entirely insulated against smuggling,” the Herald says further, and intimates that the only place in Florida is an island in Biseayne Bay, for it is ‘said ) further, “Phat is the reason the island at the enfrance to the main ship channel lead- ing up to Miami is about the only lagieal free port site in Florida.” ‘ . . \ ‘The Herald intended ‘the latter state- ment.either as a bluff or a joke, and The Citizen believes it was intended as a bluff —a bluff sufficiently barefaced to stop Key Westers from declaring that there are a dozen islands within a stone’s throw of Key West, so to speak, that are better fit- ted, beeause of deeper water, than any is- jand-in any part of Biscayne Bay. - Finally, whether a joke or a bluff, The '| Citizen itches to tell the Herald where to get off, but refuses to do so, because ‘ The Citizen is a firm believer in the dictum (Is it a dictum?) that a spirit of amity should govern every newspaper in its” dealings |: with another, AMERICANISM DEFINED The word “Americanism’ “18 used very frequently, but the } | Would. doubtless find led by wounds or sickness, and in the only 192,369.

But it means more than a mere passive acceptance of the benefits which are derived from citizen- ship. Probably no class-of citizens is better qualified to define Americanism than the veterans of the wars which» have heen waged to defend it.. Such a definition was adopted some time ago by the commanders- im-chief of five leading veterans’ organ- izations, as follows: “Americatism js an unfailing love of country; loyalty to its ‘institutions and ideals; eagerness to defend it against all enemies; undivided allegiance to the flag, and a desire to secure the blessing of jiberty to ourselves and posterity.” Persons who can qualify under that definition are truly Americans, whether native-born or naturalized. , Presumably because of the beyeott j* proclaimed by certain artist organizations, there will be only 5,500 paintings hung in the Rockefeller Center show.—New York Times.
