Reluctantly sup- porting the League against Italy, France evidently concludes that, if necessary, Mussolini must be abandoned for British favor. Italy, almost isolated among nations, insignificant. Mussolini, is seemingly ready to go down fighting the world rather than surrender his colonial ambitions, In Russia, the Soviet celebrates reward, so far, lead- have largest standing army.

Turkey, through the compulsory ac- ceptance of modern ways, is making great ss towards securing recognition a progre a factor in the Near Eastern scheme and is apparently devoting her energies to do- mestic reorganization although ready to join in a Mediterranean fight if there is ; the prospect of gains for the nation. Skipping over the balance of Asia, we come to the Japanese Empire which is xdvancirg its claims in the Far East and slowly welding an empire through ag- gressive action toward China. Moreover, apparently intent upon a hand in world affairs, the Japanese rulers seem assured that, in time, the Empire will be able to effectively check other nations in the Far East even if this means war and the assas‘‘nation of Japan’s leaders for peace yesterday by the hot heads who clamor for war may soon realize its de- sires. News of other foreign areas, includ- ing most of Africa, South America and lesser places, has been remarkably scarce in the press since the Chaco war in South America lost front-page space. lone PRAISING A FREE PRESS In its recent decision throwing aside the Louisiana law which attempted to tax the gross revenue of newspapers having a j weekly circulation of more than 20,000, the U. S. Supreme Court signs the praise: of a free press. So valuable is an unrestrained _ inter. pretation of public events that the Court! restrict circulation, restrains the press and | The first amendment to the Constitu- | tion provides that Congress shall make no ; law abridging the freedom of speech or of the press and that precludes the Federal Goverrment from doing The four- so. ; teenth amendment, adopted in 1868, Pro- | vides that no State should deprive any | person of life, liberty, or property without | in-} strict rights which Congress itself may not | violate. i The Supreme Court, in the words of’ Justice Sutherland, who wrote the opin- ion, called the Louisiana law “a deliberate | calculated device in the guise of a tax | to lint the circulation of information to | whici. the public is entitled by virtue of its constitutional guarantees.” and | given in charge of the Lopez un-| ; places in this city. | the notification of arrest was KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen ; ‘Heads of the customs départ-} ment, coast guard, prohibition di- visions of North and South Caro- lina and-Florida met yesterday in ' Miami to ‘diseuss matters pertain- | ing to the several services.

The Soences Toa Company Over a period of years, certain basic advances have been made in the selection and treatment of cigarette tobaccos for Lucky Strike Cigarettes. They include preliminary analyses of the toboc- cos selected; use of center leaves; the higher heat treatment of tobacco (“toasting”); consideration of acid-alkaline balance, with consequent definite improvement in fiavor; and controlled uniformity in the finished product.
