If everybody paid their debts there would be no debts; what an idea! A gorgeous day at the beach often means a sun-burn or a heart-burn. p ALE, een “Feed the brutes” is good advice; ask any of the women who serve church sup- pers. When there is no fresh war scare from Europe we get mighty pessimistic about peace, Intoxicated drivers of automobiles should be put in jail—that’s where they belong. Just think in about three years we will be in the opening stages of another presidential campaign; and what a cam- paign that will be! A doctoy advises that there is some truth in the idea that some people are hypersensitive to cold’ and therefore “should not take a cold bath. On this oc- ‘casion little junior heartily agrees with ‘the doctor, In Michigan there is a town known as ‘Hell, and in Wisconsin a place is known as Heaven City, Last winter Hell froze over, but several days ago Heaven was hotter than Hell with 98 degrees, while Hell only went to 93. As one travels about the country it is noticeable that many houses are in an un- finished state, and when the reason is ask- ed, the answer is that the cost of skilled labor is too high. A tile man stated that the men wanted $14 a day, while he had -based his contract at $12 per diem. This is a condemnatory commentary in a coun- try where billions of dollars are being spent for so-called relief due to unemploy- ment. The untimely death of Senator Robin- son was due to his strenuous efforts to put through the compromise court bill to re- organize the Federal judiciary primarily, and the terrific strain he had endured as Senatorial leader for the New Deal. This appears to be the consensus of opinion among congressmen and the country at large. Of course, President Roosevelt takes the opposite view, it has been learn- ed, and thinks that the opposition the de- parted senator encountered against the court plan, hastened his death. When a law, like the income tax law, idoes violence to a taxpayer's sense of fair play, it impairs his spirit of cooperation an ads to downright resentment to such ‘an extent that he will seek every legal means to avoid taxes. In so many in- stances is the income tax law unfair that changes are necssary to secure the co- operation and good will of the taxpayers. It is hard enough to pay the just taxes but galling to pay taxes that are obviously un- ADVICE TO PARENTS: “BUY IT” The Citizen feels sure that it is ren- dering a distinct service to all parents of | this county when it urges them, if they i have not already done so, to send ten ¢ents | to the Children’s Bureau, U. S. Department | of Labor, Washington, D. C. for a copy of the bureau’s 100-page book, entitled “Child Management.” | We have called attention to this book | before and understand that more than a} million copies of the first edition has been | distributed. This indicates that American ; parents are interested in their children; j and that many of them realize the need | of correct information on habits, feeding, | sex instruction, independence, obedience, | punishment, and a score of other prob-| lems. | Scientists may argue about the relative | value of heredity and environment all they please but it is certain that intelli-| gent parents, equipped with the latest in- formation on child welfare, can do some- | So, | the | if you have children running around book | home, buy yourself a copy of this and read it carefully. ONE DIFFERENCE Ifa manufacturer makes 1,000,000! units of his product he expects to get, sub- ject to various trade allowances for quan- | tity, ete., substantially more money than if he only manufacturéd’ 900,000 units. Farmers, however, who produce wheat and cotton, have found out in some years that the more they raise the less they get for the crop as a whole. This is the difference between manu- facturing and agriculture that often es- capes the attention of city economic ex- perts who delight in lambasting efforts to aid the farmers. SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Walter Winchell asked a lot of people for their definition of love. One wrote: “Love is what makes Mrs. Winchell stay married to a guy like you all these years.” A letter was recently received at the University of Alabama addressed to “Mr. Michael. Toumey, state geologist.” Tou-! mey died on March 30, 1857, and would | have been 132 had he lived until now. A. G.

Of the long list of fif- teen countries, Finland was the only one that did not default. These failures to keep prom- ises are now so regular that they are no longer news. For five or six years there have been no remittances on these accounts except from Finland. Occasionally there are rumors that negotiations are being started with a view to work- ing out new agreements, but thus far the public is not informed of any progress, A common reaction to these de- faults is bitter condemnation, In the e in the publi¢ press the debtor coun- tries are often harshly criticized for not keeping their promises. Such an attitude is easily understood and is correct at least in part. Yet the de- faults continue year after year. Expressed in broad terms the diffi- culty is two-sided.

Governments claim sovereignty. The old idea tha: ; Moon sets aking can do no wrong has been largely discarded. but governments are still not bound by the same codes as are private citizens, and machinery for compulsary legal settlement of dif- ferences is meager. It is easy to declaim against this but the fact is that in international rela- tions there have not been developed the same moral standards as the ones we accept as proper between individ- uals. And it must not be forgotten that | in this regard government officials are largely reflecting.the views of the “man in the street.” Most of us are apt to think of the people of another coun- try as different from ourselves and usually we think of them as inferior. | easterly.

To this there are notable exceptions.

To the extent that they are kept business men and governments can proceed with confidence. To the extent that promises are violated dif- ficulties arise. On the other hand, there is the fact that changes often occur that make it difficult or even impossible for debtors | to meet their obligations. ‘This is so common that we have definite proce- dures by which individual debtors may adjust their affairs. Bankruptcy proceedings are initiated, inability to pay is admitted and the air is cleared in a formal manner. Not only is there a legal adjustment, but there is no stigma attached to the debtor, except, | of course, ina few cases. | | But among governments there is a} j for our relations with foreigners. At present they are far apart and it is hard to find that the international code is changing for the better. Yet we must wrestle as best we can with the double difficulty mentioned above. Business dperations, both public and private, depend upon the keeping of promises. Conditions arise under which promises cannot be kept. There should be orderly procedures for find- ing out whether the burdens of debt- ors are impossibly heavy, for giving them relief when necessary and for compelling payment when payment is possible. In the relations between countries we still lack this machinery for adjustment and, what is worse, we do not have the attitude of mind that is necessary if such machinery is j lack both of legal methods of adjust- to be established and used. in the Lake region and Ohio Val-! ley, and high winds during the, last 12 hours over the lower | Lakes.
