While the Pope has not dignified Fa- ther Coughlin’s political behavior by tak- ing cognizance of it, certain Vatican au- thorities, it is now known, have signified their pleasure if he would confine his ac- tivities to matters spiritual, and render to God the things that are God's. The new WPA administrator in New York, Lt. B. Somervell, who started the llorida trans-state canal, declares loafers will be fired. Previously those on relief were just stringing along with the ad- ministration, but soon, probably right after election, they will be forced to make good, just like the rest of us. Force is necessary to insure peace. Former Premier Faul-Boncour said as much when he declared that “there will be no international law without international force.” Had there been force or as gen- erally expressed “teeth” in the League of Nations, Mussolini never would have dared to defy it to make his assault on Ethiopia. Discipline, which is another name for peace, will not prevail without authority and its concomitant power to administer punishment, SWITZERLAND WARNS Signs of an impending war in Europe continue to appear in the daily news dis- patches from that continent. Every nation is feverishly arming for the struggle which all believe will break sooner or later. The French, since the World War, have constructed a modern defensive line of fortifications along their border with Germany, stretching from the Swiss fron: tier to Belgium, These “fortifications are the most complete, underground defcpaes ever constructed so fat’by-man. | - Strengthened‘ by. this’ Magino’ the French believe they would have a. ‘suf ficient number of soldiers to defeat. any'in- vasion, which, repeating 1914, © came through Belgium. The Belgians, likewise, have improved their forts with which to oppose a possible German invasion, On the other side of the French Magi- not Line is Switzerland. Some have spec- ulated whether Germany might not try to march through the Swiss cantons on_ its way to outflank the French line of forti- tications. Giuseppe Motta, Swiss Foreign Minister, warns that any such effort by any nation will meet resistance. “Foreign governments and general staffs must be convinced,” said the Swiss minister, ‘that any attempt to violate our territory and use our soil for strategic marches against an enemy will meet with stubborn, unfailing resistance from our army. There is absolute agreement among us,” he continued, reflecting upon the German-speaking Swiss. ‘‘We will sooner die with honor than live under any form of servitude.” Of considerable worldwide interest was the pessimistic picture the Swiss For- eign Minister painted as to the inevitability of war in the future. “There is no longer a glimmer of peace in the sky,” said he. “Everywhere there are menacing shadows.” DOGS FOR THE BLIND A most interesting and worthy in- stitution is known as the Seeing Eye, at Morristown, N. J., where dogs are trained to act as guides and companions for the blind. Some 220 blind persons now own dogs which have been trained there and the number is being steadily increased. It is not only necessary to train the dogs, Wut their prospective owners must also be taught how to use them, which iakes a month of study and practice under the supervision of instructors at Morris- town. Care is taken to avoid allowing the dogs to fall into the hands of any but per- sons who will show them affection and ap- preciation. In fact, good treatment of the animals is necessary in order to obtain sat- i tory results from their use. The Seeing Eye is supported largely by philanthropic persons who are also de- voted to the wonderful dogs which per- form such a valuable service for those so afflicted While one of these dogs may be ob- tained for $150, it is said that the cost to the institution is about $900. Instructors at the Seeing Eye are highly expert in their line, and each can train about 20 dogs in a year. * CYCLES ARE PERILOUS Business is improving generally in this country. We are apparently headed for another “boom,” which would be a calamity. Z American democracy can not last the “agony and misery of the past six years” are to be repeated at regular in- tervals, correctly declares Dr. Solomon Lowenstein, who spoke before the National Conference of Social Workei Although the Social Security Act con- tains a great deal of good, it also has many defects, Dr. Lowenstein said, most of which stem from two main sources, the question of States’ rights and-of the-finanéing? of welfare activities. “A“¢leat*delined’ the relative fields for State and _ Feder, activity must bé drawn without the “legal- istic” interference of the higher courts, Dr. Lowenstein’ said, while for thé finane- ing of the measures the Federal “Govern- ment alone is strong enough to meet the problem. “We cannot permit the accumulation of large profits for the benefit of a few per- sons,” Dr. Lowenstein asserted. ‘After a reasonable profit for enterprise and in- genuity and resourcefulness and risk has been allowed, the large profits to which we all contribute must be made available for the welfare of all.” if Eto the dinusement of all | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Years; Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen | e0mnetmnsetemet stmt tenets netted Three children of Mr. and Mrs.!

Editorial comment: Strange how quickly people lose interest in a “mysterious disappearance” story when they discover that; there seems to be a reason. A Western Union night letter was received from Deputy Sheriff Joseph Kemp last night who is in New York, advising Sheriff Cleve- land Niles that Juana Dominguez, the Cuban servant who is being held in New York pending ex dition proceedings asked by Gov- ernor Martin in behalf of Monroe county, will be given a hearing in New York Thursday.

KEY WEST COLONIAL HOTEL In the Center of the Business and Theater District First Class—Fireproof— Garage Elevator You and Your Nation’s Affairs How a “Razor Back” Votes By GUS W. DYER Professor of Economics and Sociology, Vanderbilt University The hogs we see st state fairs.are not representative of the historic hog. It is the “razor back” of the South- ern mountain reconas that es the rae huagry, and, always in search of food. His ability to get through fences, over fences, under fences, under water gaps, and find unknown entrances to cornfieldsis marvelous. It is often necessary for the farmer to move his hogs from ong field to an- other, or from the “range” to the lot or pen. But it is extremely difficult to catch or hem a razor back, and next to impossible to zdrive him. Hence, the farmer is for¢ed to adopt the policy of “reasoning” with the razor back as the most effective way of transfering him from ne place to another. “Hog calling” is really an appeal to the reason of the hog-It is an ap- peal to the razor backs to vote for a change of location—to leave one sec- tion and move to another. The “razor back” is not in the least effected by the oratorical powers of the hog call- er, he considers only the material re- ward that is offered. In seeking the suffrage of the “razor backs” in favor of the desired change of location, we will assume that the “hog caller” first urged. a favorable vote on ethical grounds. Then he showed that the proposed change would be in the interest of a sound, permanent economic system that (Address questions to the au Today’s Anniversaries 1791—Theodoric R.

Then he how the change was deman in the interest of the pigs and grand-pigs that would come after them, and would be an act of the highest patriotism in the interest of freedom and independence. To this appeal the “razor backs” smiled a sickly smile and grunted their disgust. Then their spokesman replied: “An appeal made to ‘razor backs’ on ethical grounds is as water poured on a duck’s back. We have no moral convictions. We are hogs! A sound economic system means nothing to us. We don’t care what becomes of the community just so it doesn't hit us. We don't care what happens to the | pigs and grand-pigs. It ‘s no concern of ours whether they have an abun- dance or starve. We are hogs! Neither are we interested in preserving free- dom and independence. What does a hog care for freedom and indepen- dence? “We ask but one question in cast ing our ballot. What material bene- fits do we get for our vote? We don't care where these material benefits come from. We don't care how they are obtained. We don't care who is injured or what is injured by bestow- ing on us these gifts. We care noth- ing for constitutions, and less for property rights) We believe that ‘razor back’ rights come before prop- erty rights. We are concerned only in obtaining material benefits for our- selves, here and now, regardless of the effects of any policy on the gen- eral welfare. “What have you to offer? We are ready to do business with you.” The hog calling politician knows his “razor backs,” for he is one of them, and the “razor backs” know him.
