When cream is bad, whip that’ll make it good. a it; The fight for the independence of the _. Supreme Court has been Won.” It is essential to the’ well being of a free people that the courts remain in- . dependent. We suspect that a lot of folks who continually complain of poor health are just plain lazy. As an Austrian writer puts ~it, the United States, from a world point of view, is “diplomatically in the dry dock.” Congress evidently proposes to blah- blah it out along the present lines if it takes all of a hot Washington summer. Every State in the Union is convinced that it possesses great climatic advantages ever all the other States and the inhab- itants believe it sincerely. : When the Aeromarine established air service between this country and Cuba, Key West became the first international base of the United States, and is ideally situated for a naval air base. The Key West Chamber of Commerce should make, this an objective of its major program, es-' pecially now that the House Committee -on Naval Affairs is keeping a weather eye open for suitable air bases. General Johnson, of NRA fame, once close to the President, still thinks well of ~him, but he anathematizes and excoriates the President's advisers, calling them all ~ kinds of epithets from his well-stocked vocabulary. But if these embryonic Ma- chiavellians have such a hypnotic influence over him, why does not the President get rid of them. Hvidently, they :are telling “him what he likes to hear, or he would, ‘ pS ai Sle ASTON LA ig « Since the President ‘has realized that he cannot put through his rape of the supreme court, he and others hate ad- vanced various face-saving schemes to renovate the court, some puerile and some ~ fantastic. Senator Charles O. Andrews, of - this state, who sponsors the 75-year re- ‘tiirement amendment, thinks that the 10- year term proposed smacks of politics. It certainly does. Why not abandon the as- éault on the supreme court and allow it to remain as it is? The people do not desire a change; that is evident. So why con- tinue to make a political football out of the highest ee 4 ~ the land! D8. “'Govemibretelinan of New York, staunch democrat and personal friend of {Phesidenit: Roosevelt, if recently abhounc- ing his” ‘opposition to the Pr sident’s, plan} for reorganization of the sdpréme court, said that “whatever immediate gain might j be achieved through the proposed change in the court would in my opinion befar more than offset by a loss of confidence in| the independence of the courts and in gov-| ernmental procedure, President Roose- i velt once termed Governor Lehman “that good right arm of mine.” The chief ex-| ecutive will have to depend upon his “ eft" | hook now that his “good right arm’ has been amputated, j said he, ; the person concerned will feel that TELL YOUR STORY Some sound advice to business men, especially those’charged with the man- agement of the larger enterprises, was given recently by H. A. Batten, president of the country’s biggest advertising agency, in an address before a national advertisers’ association at a convention at Hot Springs, Va. He declared that the immediate and pressing need of American business is to get back the lost friendship and confidence of the public through advertising. “If, like the telephone company,” “you had told the people of the United States all about your company— your basic policy, your stock structure, your operating methods, your employe re- lationships, your services to the community —if, like the telephone company, you had done this from the beginning, year after year, so that each upcoming generation would learn about it in turn, then you would not today be in the position of hav- ing to approach the public as a compara- tive stranger and to sue for its confidence, for if you had done that you would al- ready enjoy that confidence as a friend.” Many industries and _ utilities have been following the course Mr. Batten sug- gests for many years and have profited thereby. But many neglect‘ to tell their story until they are attacked, often’ by’ poli-, tical demagogues, and thus placed, on the defensive. The public wants te . bervdaiv, 4, but in order to do so it must have all Fhe facts. SIX STEPS TO RUIN Unless the constantly widening gap between government income and outgo is closed, writes Roger W. Babson, one of the outstanding American economists, six financially ruinous eonsequences will re- sult: “First, continued deficits ultimately lead to fear of government credit. “Second, unsound public credit means unwillingness to lend the government money to pay its bills. “Third, the treasury is forced to print paper money to pay its deficits. , “Fourth, the paper money falls like a meteor in value as prices shoot sky-high. “Fifth, the buying power of salaries, wages, savings accounts, insurance policies, and bonds drops to practically nothing. “Sixth, the ruined, starving middle- class take the reins of government by force to bring order out of chaos.” Mr. Babson does not think it too late to put the government's financial house in order but quick action is essential. On a! per-person basis Federal expenses since 1860 have increased from $2 to $55 a year. | The average American family of five has | an income of $1,700. It owes as its share | of the soaring national debt, $1,375. In addition to owing this debt it must pay $275 annually in Federal taxes alone. Only an aggressive public demand for re- trenchment and a balanced budget can save us from the “six steps to ruin’? Mr. Babson describes. ‘ ue eM on reat PRINTING THE .NEWS"”" ' When to print a, « disgareeable “ators and when to leave one‘out ofthe’ paper i one of the most troublesome problems of a smallitown editor. In the case of a person who is unfaithful to a public trust, or one who is guilty of serious crime, it is not dif- ficult to decide, because the public in- terest, as well as the public’s right to have the news, demands that it be printed. There are some cases, however, in! which the offense is entirely of a personal nature, and in which publishing the story would bring sorrow and embarrassment to innocent persons without serving any bene- ficial purpose. In these the making of aj preper decision is often not easy. If the (2 story is printed, relatives and friends o it is | unnecessary; if it is suppressed, the scan. dal-mongers will be disappointed, and many will insinuate that the editor was “bought off.” | These same scandal-mongers how! the loudest, however, if their shady actions were held up to public gaze So it’s hard to please everybody and no editor of sense tries to please every-' body. He must let his own judgment and | | his own conscience be his guide. If he errs on the side of kindness and ympathy for the unfortunate, -his error ; will be forgiven by the more enlightened { } own | ‘abe of his newspaper, i Itrebandeyliquer, was yesterday tak- }were handled. 136 paid fines, nine dismissed, four ‘fluences of the day point The mind is} {intuitive rather than logical but 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 One man drowned and_ three missing and believed to have per- ished in the flames, is the report brought to Key West of a fire on a launch, or motorboat, in the Northwest Channei in sight of Key West at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Four survivors clung to a vell bouy in the channel all night and were rescued by the Steamship Cuba, as she came in from Tampa this morning. The rescued are Itzlians who wer’ evidently smuggied into the coun- try from Cuba: Only one of t rescued men could speak Engl He was understood to say that when the fire broke out all hands jumped overboard, but none could swim but the master of the ves- sel.

Ashe, former president “thé ChathbYr of commerce and now a sugar raiser in Cuba. This is the one thing, now that the Overseas Highway is assured, that Key West needs to make it the fastest growing city of its size in the United Ststes. Mr. Ashe said during a conversation with a Citi zon representative that he makes the prediction, based on solid facts, about the flow of. water and just as sure of its being fulfilled as he was when he pre dicted the contruction of highway. the About 400 persons took advant age of the cheap rates offered by the iPlorida East Coast Railway and came in from Miami yesterday to enjoy the first of the excur sions planned by the company, Editorial comment: A Floridp woman, held up by a bandit, sav- ed her jewelry by hiding it in her stocking.
