IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN Water and Sewerage. Bridges to complete Road to Main land. Free Port. Hotels ang Apartments. Bathing Paitin, Airperts—Land and Sea. Consolidation of County and City Governments. El Grito de Yara (the Cry of Yara) becomes tainter with each passing year. Sign of Prosperity: The tax collec- tor’s office in need of an adding machine. Juries do not always assist courts in rendering justice, whether you believe it or not. At last we have a Goodman as local director of the W. P. A. It is a good thing to stick to a good man, After some light thought on the mat- ter, but after studying some human speci- mens, we are not so certain that Mr. Dar- win was wrong. “It would be a good idea if more wo- men would become interested in politics to engage them in conversation in place of scandal and uplifted eyebrows. Florida has the opportunity, through participation in Social Security, to get back from the national governnient a por- tion of the total her citizens pay to Wash- ington in income and other federal taxes. For a decade of years the merger of city with county has been’a consummation The Citizen has devoutly wished. Event- ually this will be:accomplished, why not at the general election on November 3. Key West will benefit greatly once the con- solidation is a fait acompli. Boake Carter, British-born news com- mentator, speaks of the English way to counteract the encroachment of fascism. What about the “American” way to com- bat subversive propaganda! We need-not import our resentment against fascism, communism and other isms; we have it in our hearts. Representative J. Mark Wilcox, ever on the alert in the interest of Florida, is seeking to restrict the importation from Cuba of avocadoes, tomatoes, peppers, and other winter vegetables in the form of an amendment to the present treaty with Cuba, which is unfavorable to Florida growers. A reciprocity treaty should be reciprocal or it misses its purpose. Friend of ours had a flock of chickens in his back yard. They wouldn’t lay. He was puzzled. Couldn’t figure it out. Thought of strikes and such. Maybe they were just lazy. Called in a _ neighbor. Neighbor took one look at them, and snorted: “There is little to wonder about the phenomenon, son; they’re all roost- ers.""—Times-Union. Not to spoil a good story, nevertheless all hens are roosters— at night. WORLD POLICE PLAN What seems to be a constructive sug- gestion in connection with the efforts be-| ing made to stamp out or reduce serious crimes was made at an international con- | vention of police chiefs. It proposes a world police force, the members of which would be empowered to disreagrd all na- tional boundary lines when in pursuit of criminals, The idea of establishing such a force was advanced by Barron Collier;-honorary deputy police commissioner of New York, who explained how such a body would op- erate to capture the crimina] who crossed oceans and continents plying his profes- sion. It is well known that the limited juris- diction of officers of the law seriously handicaps them in bringing criminals to justice. When a criminal crosses a state line he can not be followed and taken in- to custody, or returned to the state in which the crime was committed, without much legal formality and red tape. An American criminal escaping to Canada, Mexico, or any other foreign country, is virtually immune from the con- sequences of his crime. Thousands of the most dangerous offenderssagainst society thus escape capture and “punishment, Such a police force as Mr. Collier sug- gests would not need to be large. All that would be necessary would be that a few ‘picked men in each country should be au- thorized by international agreement to go | anywhere in the world in pursuit of crim- inals, with the added provision that no na- tion would interfere to defeat the ends of justice. Crime is organized on a world-wide scale. It can be combatted successfully only by like organization on the part of the forces of law and order. ENDING THE BLACK LEGION A routine investigation, caused by the discovery of a man’s body, lying in a ditch near the suburb of Dearborn, shocked Michigan and the nation with revelations about the Black Legion, a secret order of night riders sworn “in the name of God and the devil” to exterminate “the an- archist, Communist, the Roman hierarchy and their abettors.” The story was amazing in its rami- fications and the reverberations resounded as the trail of the order jumped state lines and threatened to involve prominent of- ficials. Americans read with amazement about the strange growth of the organiza- tion and there were exaggerated tales of | its size. Recently, the trial of twelve mem- bers was concluded in Detroit. One man, who confessed that he fired the fatal shot, testified at the trial. The jury convicted seven of first-degree murder, two of second degree murder, one was acquitted and two others were tried and convicted without'a jury. The conclusion of the trial, it seems, ‘marks the end of the Black. Legion and re- flects credit upon the people of Michigan. Let us.hope that no similar organization will attémpt to gain power or prominence in the United States in the future. AUTO POWER BY RADIO Another prediction which may sound fantastic was made some time ago, to the effect that we shall in a few years have automobiles that will run without fuel, the motive power being supplied from a cen- tral station by radio. The idea is advanced, not by a crank or visionary, but a no less authority then G. M. Williams, president of the Mafion: company, who declares that such ‘dSplaiis | receiving serioug consideration® automotive engineers. According to"this~ plat by -leading stam «o would have a ‘certain receiving am, | length, and by oe the switeh a gen: erator of corresponding -wavye‘lengt® in the central station would supply the power. Many cars might have the same wave-length, so long as the total load could be carried by the corresponding genera- tor. We do not vouch for the practicability of this suggestion, but only pass it on as an indication of what may happen. In any event it illustrates the daring conceptions of the modern engineer. And who can say that the idea may not some day be made to work? ‘You ‘and Your Nation’s Affairs Must | We Recover Because We By WALTER E. SPAHR Chairman, Department of Economics, New York University How do we stand economically in so far as business recovery is con- | cerned?

The chief disputes at present relate not so much to the fact of recovery as to its causes and relative extent in the leading nations. On these points, 1 believe economic facts are available which throw considerable light on the ‘issue and which provide an answer » quite satisfying to some peopie though not to others. We all realize, of course, that those involved in the present national political campaign |of almost are anxious to prove or to disprove the causal relationship of the New Deal program to business. recovery. Among the most significant facts to be considered are the following: Recovery uas been practically worldwide, although it has begun at different dates and has proceeded at varying rates in the different coun- tries. Thus the~ particular form of government of a country, or the par- ticular brand of program of a partic- ular government, could hardly have been the determining influence There E i i Ff i Bg H 2 | if ; i if i g cf oh i k Bee Bead FH may or may not be regarded as acci- dental. It seems better to think less of what governments do or do not do and more of what millions of people do in their efforts to save themselves during a recession, to adjust themselves dur- ing the depression, and to expand their ivities when the: readjust- ments are completed.
