How can a business expect to be elected to success, unless it tells the peo- ple the reasons why it shovld be patrotized? Qne of the first rules of the Fipst Con- gress in 1789 was “that no member should speak to one another, or read any printed paper, when any member is speaking.” Go to Washington when Congress is in session and note the difference.

Replying to the editorial, Mr. Stone in a letter to The Citizen confirmed its in- terpretation as entirely correct, and stated further even if the PWA rejects the re- | quest for funds to build the bridges, the work of its sponsors is not unrewarded as it called the attention of the Washington authorities to the grave economical situa- tion prevalent in this community. i Mr. Stone’s letter follows: j Upon my return to the Jackson- ville office I noticed an editorial in | your issue of August 1, which sought to clear up a misunderstanding that ‘ might have arisen in the minds of Key West citizens regarding the bridges, as a result of my public remarks on Sunday. The interpretation given in your editorial is entirely correct. I further said, as I recall it, that even if the Pub- lie Works Administration did not act favorably on any of the bridge pro- posals the work of its sponsors would have been far from wasted, because it, as much as anything else, had called attention of the Washington author- sities to the seriousness of the plight of Key West. ADMIRAL BYRD’S STUNT Considerable anxiety is being felt for , Admiral Richard E. Byrd, who voluntarily i isolated himself from his exploring expedi- | tion some weeks ago to spend the Antarctic winter of darkness alone in a hut 123 miles from his base at Little America. His radio failed some time ago, his last message stating that he was suffering | with a “bad arm,” but giving no details. An expedition which set out in the dark- ness to give him relief was unable to find | | the trail, which had been obliterated by snowdrifts. It now appears that he must | remain where he is until daylight comes again in September. Why Admiral Byrd insisted on per- ‘forming this latest stunt is not definitely known. It could hardly be for the sake of glory or publicity. He has been to both poles and has an unsurpassed record as an explorer by land, sea and air. It has been said that he desired to make weather ob- servations at his lonely post, but it is diffi- cult to see why such - observations might not have been more successfully made with | a small party of assistants. But whatever his motive, he is down there, and everyone will hope that he may be able to hold out until relief comes. Still, it is difficult to suppress the thought that the desperate chance he took was unneces- sary, not to say foolhardy. 1 i | LOAN LAW FUTILE Industrial concerns which expected aid through the new government plan to | make loans direct to industry seem likely to be disappointed, because of the drastic requirements imposed on borrowers, and the immense amount of red tape involved in obtaining a loan. It is required that prospective bor- rowers must submit salary and wage scales for government approval, must permit government inspection of their books at any time, must have government approval | of all dividend payments tribution of profits. A business man applying for a loan must fill out a complicated 20-page form, giving information concerning his business | in minute detail. He must then wait until this information is checked and double | | checked first by regional offices and again | | in Washington. Loans will not be made to finance | new construction, to pay debts or taxes, to | finance consumer purchases, imports or exports or promotional work. No loans j will be made to inactive industries or those in receivership. If a business man could meet the gov- ernment’s requirements, he could prob- ably obtain a loan from private banks | more readily. As an indication. of the futility of the government’s gesture to ai industry, it may be noted that although } more than 5,000 applications for loans have been made, not one had been granted in the first month of the plan’s operation. or other dis- ' pee bona, taal haces a WAS STARRED BY RICHARD CROMWELL COLUMBIA PICTURES IN HIS FIRST PICTURE.
