An American newspaper publisher asked Premier Mussolini if he did not think the world would applaud if the premier ave Italy 4 free press. “But we have free pres,” was the reply of the premier, who omiled broad and knowingly. Certainly Haly has a free press—tfree to print any- thing pleasing to the premier. The Chicago Tribune names Governor Floyd Olson of Minnesota as “the First American Dictator.” This sobriquet was applicable when the governcr declared martial law and made it an offense, punish- ; fable summarily in military court, to criti- | eve his government. He went the limit! when the newspapers were instructed to| publish the proclamation of their ex servitude.

Official recognition that strikes and presented in Secretary of Labor Perkins’ | report covering the month of June, show-|! ing that the setback cost wage earners throughout the country 119,000 jobs and | $5,000,000 in loss of pay. | With strikes even more prevalent dur- ing the current month, it appears highly probable that the mid-August report covering July will reveal that labor strife is taking a greater toll in jobs and earn- ings. The June figures showed the first cheek for 1933 in employment and pay- | rolls of manufacturing and non-manufac- | turing industries. i Part of the loss was attributed to! seasonal declines, but Miss Perkins re-— ported that in addition to the normal drop, ‘ “the longshoremen’s strike on the Pacific | Coast affected operation in a number of establishments in this section’ and “sporadic labor disturbances affected — plant operation in other localities.” 1 In addition to the formal report, the , Labor Department made a_ conservative | estimate that American workers already have lost 15,000,000 days this year be- | cause of walkouts, with all returns not in. | “Up until the middle of the year, the Department’s records showed that there were 10,000,000 man-days in which work- ingmen went without pay because of labor disputes,” the Department announced. These officials said the cost to the, nation as a whole, directly and indirectly, would run probably into the hundreds of millions. They pointed out that the slash in the income of the workers alone would be around $5,000,000. Relief officials made no comment in| connection with the situation,’ but it is | known that Federal authorities who are! watching all angles are deeply puzzled | over how to solve a problem in which | thousands of workers are striking over | trade union disputes, while 16,000,000; persons are reported on relief rolls. ! PEING FAIR TO THE FERA } | (Daytona Beach News-Journal) i There may be some element of truth of the criticisms which are being hurled at local FERA office, or there may not be, The important thing is not to damn individuals or institutions merely because somebody wants to | turn public opinion against them. Certainly, some changes were made here in in some the Volusia county of which not everyone approved, and some good people were thrown out of office. This does not necessarily reflect, however, on the men and women who have come in to them. That FERA business is a hard and thankless ' It was a mushroom growth. It | stituted to help tide over thousands of unemployed, What they would do without it is pitiable to think. It looks as if some objectors to FERA' methods the Certainly replace job. was) in- were a bit inclined to look a gift horse in mouth, forgetting that it is a gift horse. the PERA “strikes” which have been some cities are a bit of a joke, something like the | baby “striking” by refusing to eat his candy be- cause he wants some other kind, started in | However, there’ may always be legitimate | complaints of any government agency; none is in- violate, and certainly none is perfect. Complaint to the proper authority has been made, and that is | quite in order. An investigation should be made, as in any organitation, and its results acted upon. But public opinion should be slow to jump to con- clusions in advance simply because assertions have been made. KEY WEST FERA CENSUS | The special census shows Key West now has 11,656 population. The 1930 census showed 12,831; the 1920 census, 18,749, which was a few thousand more than St. Petersburg; the 1910 census, 19,-; 945; the 1900 census, 17,114, at which! time it was the third city of Florida, as Pensacola had 17,747, and Jacksonville | 28,429, Key West apparently is not a good place to go to, to try to make your living out of the natives, but we still think it is the most interesting place in Florida to visit, or even to live in, because it is the farthest from New York, Chicago, Kansas City, and the | North Pole.—P.

Need of a publication of thi: character has long been recognized and the experience of Maj jlins, Mr. Edmunds and their sociates in the magazine pub ing and automobile associat fields has shown them the tremen- dous opportunities for publicizing pecial areas through a magazine devoted to the inter automo hile owners; (probably the largest field for successful advertising in the United States).

He » stated that the Florida Motorists organizations were very much interested in the possibilities of a “belt highway” around the new Everglade: tional Park as a road of this. character would open another area unique in the United States and found only in Flor Citing t! enormous tourist travel in various cf the western National Parks, where roads have been construct ed at. tremendous cost, Mr, Ed- munds said “utilization 6f° the CCE for sin the coustruction of a. toad from Royal Palm State Park to Cape Sable and northward along the West Coast to Eve’ glades City and the Tami ‘Trail would provide — atioth unique, interesting and different | trip for the thousands of tourists : in Florida and would provide Mon- ; roe County and the State with in- creased: sources of revenue as well! as obtaining a permanent benefit from the’ expenditures in CCC work this winter. It is to be hop- ed that the people of Key Wes' Monroe County, Homestead, I ; County and the lower West Coast from Fort Myers south can get to- acter and through the CC and FERA and their own person- al efforts secure the opening of thie interesting section and create an additional sonree of income for id the state, thus ¢ t an additional and magnifying the present, need for the comple- tion of the Over-Seas Highway.” Mr. Edmunds further said: “Two years ago a promin member of Congress, from F* ida, said that if the Everglades National Park bill became a law it would so increase travel to South Florida that completion of the Over-Seas Highway would be- come a necessity and that pri ate capital had given assurances that with the opening of this new national park they would not hes- itate to finance the building of bridges to close the water gaps in the highw as traffic would nece ate it and amply repay the advisability of closing the last ob: struction to a complete through highway from Portland, Maine and ada to Key West, the Fish ture’s Health Resort and it is to be hoped that efforts now pending to accomplish the bridging of this gap will be successful. These two projects will mean much to South Florida and Key West through in- snues and mo t would become creased tourist re toring to Key W: a part of the itinerary of motorists.” Major Collins will arriv West early this week to a: in Key ist in the preparation of the Key West edition of the Florida Motovist and to cooperate in any way pos- sible with the local administration ‘and the men who have obtained the collaboration of his organiza- tions in publicizing Key West.
