Real estate showing signs of reviv- ing all over the United States; many pur- chasers of land a few years ago will reap large profit: in the next few years. Key West, too, will benefit greatly from this revival. The drive for pensions will soon begin again in Congress. When this government attempts general pensions for all who par- ticipated in the World War, and to those remotely affected by it, the cheapest plan would be to turn over the government to the proposed beneficiaries and let them take it all.

The home team generally plays better on home grounds, the sur- roundings are more familiar, and the crowd more sympathetic, which helps a lot to put over a winner. E. W. Scripps, who mgde_ millions from newspapers, expressed his financial philosophy in a single sentence—‘No man can contro] his income, but every man can control his outgo.””. No man can go broke in following this policy. Too many people mortgage their future and then have a} hard time catching up, and time is re- lentless—it waits for no man. It is a} wholesome practice to maintain a balanced } budget, and that goes for nations, too. Immediately after the Supreme Court rendered its decision on the Agricultural Adjustment Att, President Roosevelt got into a huddle with Secretary Wallace, At-! torney General Cummings and few othe: It is reported that the chief ea ecutive’s eyes glared defiance. Those who have heard or read his report on “The | State of The Nation” will recall these de- termined and defiant words: “The con-} gress has the right, and @an- find ~he means, to protect its own prerogatives.” | similar to those of the former MAKE IT A HAPPY NEW YEAR _ Among the things which distinguished the year.1935 was the tremendous and un- precedented interest manifested in the traffic safety problem. This awakening to the gravity of the accident evil seized the nation with con- siderable force during the second half of the year. It has yet scarcely gone beyond the point of rubbing the eyes, but the country seems to be ready for a_ cold shower of facing the facts, and then : to gird for concerted action. As has béen co achieving automobile safety aroused public opinion. One way to help end the iifaniobile accident carnage is for each individual to make a sincere New Year’s resolution con- cerning his conduct as a motorist or pedes- trian. The resolution might be based on six principles offered by the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety Under- writers: 1. Courtesy—to drive and to walk with consideration for others in mind. 2. Care—to drive and walk with the care that means safety for all. 3. Knowledge—to learn and under- tand thoroughly the traffic laws and rules of the state and community in which we drive and walk. 4. Skill—to improve our mastery of the skills which make the good driver. Sense—to use common sense in the many situations encountered when driv- ing and walking, that are not covered by laws or copybook maxims. 6. Cooperation—to cooperate, as an individual driver or pedestrian, with the organized efforts to make driving and walking everywhere safe. Such a resolution rigidly adhered to for a whole year by many persons would produce such salutary benefits, and those benefits would be so apparent, that there resides . in 5. | would be no question of the resolution be- ing renewed for more Happy New Years. DANGER IN JAPAN Charging that Japan had “ambitions Kaiser,” Senator Key Pittman, Democratic Chair- man of the Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee, says that it is ‘“commor knowledge that the present militaristic government of Japan plans conquest of the entire world.” “Sooner or later,” said Senator Pitt- man,” the United States will be faced with | the necessity of fighting for its very exist- ence, and if we wait too long the outcome will be much more doubtful. We either can continue to retreat in the face of , Japan’s conquest or decide where to make our stand and make it there.” Japan, said the Nevada Senator, counts on England’s involvement in Europe and the pacifist sentiment in the United States to keep these two countries from in- terfering. “There are only two things Japan is afraid of and those are the navies of Great Britain and the United States. If it should happen that these navies find it necessary to maneuver in the Pacific near Japan, at about the same time, Japan would listen to reason without a shot be- ing fired or a life being lost.” Senator Pittman pointed out that the Nine Power Treaty, guaranteeing Chinese integrity, signed by Japan, the United States and Great Britain, has been violated several times by Japan. “It is time some- body informed the people of this nation of the danger. Once Japan gains full con- trol of China it will be the most powerful nation in the world and will be able to carry out its dreams of conquest.” “IT DOESN’T MATTER” “It doesn’t matter whose son you are,” said Joseph Stalin last week to a young farmer from the mines of Russia, “but who and what you are and how you work.” The sentence is good advice for all be- lievers in democracy but especially sig- nificant because the young man téld” the Soviet dictator, “I am, the son of-a kulak.” These comparatively wealthy Jand- owners have been the object of much per- secution in Russia, where their lands have been appropriated and scattered among the loyal communists. Toward them, as a group the ruling class of present day Rus- sia have exhibited considerable hatred. Stalin’s remarks came as a group of workers assembled in Moscow as_ the guests of the government to receive public praise for high production records. It seems to mark an end to some of the bitter- ness in the intense class struggle in Soviet- land. ently maintained, the real hope for: Se - ies aio cats. bade pos saven ansuer Herbert Masehiall tran | — — > He ae Lowest Highest Station last night last 24 hours Abilene -- 26 3 Atlante.
