If a former king of England, Richard II, was willing on a memorable occasion to give his kingdom for a horse, why shouldn't the present king, Edward VIII, give his kingdom for a woman.

Key West is a GEM in the ocean that needs advertising, and G. E. M., the creator of Coral Gables, promises to help and prophesies that this island has a glorious future—once the road to the mainland is completed. George E.

Similar anniversaries, tries, are the occasion for displays of mili- tary power and are seized upon by politi- cal leaders who speak to their people in in- flammatory language and attempt to fan: the fires of patriotism by lauding the vic- | tory of the past. It is striking that in this country the | their dislike for war. is thought that the Americans will fight. should have dissipated this belief, but it is undoubtedly prevalent in the minds of present-day dictators. are right so far as the quarrels of other nations are concerned, although many Americans fear that this country will not be able to escape another general war. The fact that the United States is pur- suing a policy of, preparedness and creasing its’ military, naval and aerial forces, serves notice upon the rest of the United States will exert its strength. To this extent, our expenditures for arma- ments tend to preserve our peace in full status and, if this is true, are justifiable as insurance against war. In his talk before the Key West High School, Major MacMullen stressed _ this thought by pointing out that the most ef- based upon an adequate defense. ELECTRICAL PROGRESS Significant evidence of progress is seen in the new ideas and improved equip- ment which have been applied to power stations, whereby the cost of generating | been! electricity by steam plants has brought below four mills per killowatt hour in some instances, with even greater economies promised for the near future. This increased efficiency of steam ing upon the future value of waterpower projects, because only those power dams which are most advantageously located will be able to produce electricity at a cost less than that of generation by steam. ed that the use of electrical power manufacturing has trebled during the last j ten years and now totals more than 26 mil- lion horsepower, or 73 per cent of all the j power used. What the total electrical output will be in another ten years must be left large- ly to the imagination. Electrification of farms and railroads is in its infancy, but is going forward rapidly.: New electrical ap- pliances for every conceivable means of utility, comfort and entertainment are be- ing developed with amazing rapidity. In fact, we are just beginning to get some slight idea of what electricity will |¢ mean to civilization of the future. JOIN THE RED CROSS Once again the American people are called upon to renew their membership in a most worthwhile organization—the Am- erican Red Cross. Anyone familiar with the work un- dertaken by this agency of mercy, upon ! the occasion of disaster, should be glad to contribute at least $1, the minimum dues for annual membership. We hope the people of this county will not fail to support the American Red } Cross and make it available to serve un- fortunate people in times of suffering and JAPANESE MENACE The Japanese menace continues to threaten America. The latest comes from farmer Kichi Fujikira, who claims that a Japanese Leg- horn hen laid 361 eggs in the year ending November Ist, 1936. Poultry experts, in Washington, re- fuse to concede that the Japanese have won the world’s championship egg-laying contest because the farmer’s claim was un- official, : day is generally regarded as sacred to the; memory of the men and women who lost. their lives in the service of their country. | ' The custom reflects the inherent love of ; the people of this nation for ‘peace and ; Such an attitude is not altogether a derstood in militaristic countries, where it | not ; Our participation in the World War | Undoubtedly, they ; in-} world that there are things for which the! ficient form of Pacifism is that which is! plants will have a most important bear- | : A survey by the National Industrial | Conference Board some months ago show- ' in| &.

In this respect, the { administration . has promised a great deal.

Numer- ous political promises have opened | the eyes of the farmers wider and wider to expectations of an agricul- tural paradise. Yet, to stern realities, their eyes have, seemingly, remained closed.

Many cS. 3 however, are’ signed for the absurd purpose of making the domestic prices for farm products (of which 33 per cent are exported) artificially higher than prices in the world markets, where these values are automatically fixed. Such a task is a great deal like trying } to change the sea level on the Atlan- tic Coast for the benefit of Ameri- can shippers, who for some reason or other might wish to load their vessels from one of the upper floors of a New York skyscraper. Equally nonsensical, of course, is the claim that manufacturing and | commerce can obtain more profits by paying taxes, the proceeds of which are used to make farmers prosperous enough to buy goods and services from them. Political planners, proficient in scheming such impossible things, often manage completely to outsmart themselves, and there was a splendid example of that in 1934, and again “his j ‘By CLARENCE W.

Until the farmers’ costs are thus lowered, it is useless to try to increase domestic demand, to introduce new crops, or to encourage more tenants to buy farms. Even the extension of more credit at lower rates cannot be defended in the case of any industry which does not strive to become more competent. Everything is said to happen for the best, and it may be, that given time, farmers will realize that presi- their fundamental problems. More- over, if they bask too long in the po- litical surshine, the nation runs one farmers to attempt a solution of what is their own problem may gradually be smothered.
