We have said all along that this is a topsy- turvy world, Juries that acquit individuals who are tried for driving automobiles while in- toxicated, when everybody knows that the driver was intoxicated, give a careless en- dorsement to the death of hundreds of per- sohs every year. The dove of peace, in these days, must always be prepared for flight. In/ fagt it is generally pictured in flight with | an olive branch in its beak, carrying its | mé@ssage of peace somewhere because there is always trouble somewhere, At the pres- | ent timé} the bifid kept very busy trying j to keep so-called peaceful nations peace-} ful. New York dropped 18,000 aliens from | its WPA rolls this month, and more will | be dropped as soon as they can be ferreted | out. Aliens are those chiselers who do not! want to become American citizens but are | always eager to derive all the benefits! American citiz ip provides. There are | some aliens in Key West and they should! not be permitted on the government relief rolis—often to the disadvantage of Amer- ican citizens, , ous departments te try to save out i whole year’s appropriations, NOT SO STRANGE - People in the United States who won- der why European nations cannot get to- gether and settle their hatreds in the in- terest of peace might take time off to read some of the debates that occur between the | various sections of the United States. | The wages and hours bill, the antic | lynching bill, the farm control measure, ' the housing program and various labor | bills cause heated discussion in this coun- ; try where the people are, for the most | part, of the same general type. | What the controverted measures | would cause in a continent that boasts | many nations, with intensified suspicions | and violent hatreds from the past, is pro-| blematical. If the people of the United States cannot even agree upon the mean- ing of their written constitution what is so | strange in the failure of European people to get together? | JUST A HINT There has been no war in Ethiopia or } in China where Italy and Japan have been forced to “defend” themselves, The strugg Bs have been marked with great suffering ulations, giving less people may expect in the future from | “civilized” powers. se The battles in the Spanish civil war | have also indicated very clearly the ex- tent of the suffering that awaits the pop- ulation of the next country in which a major war is waged, The three contests demonstrate very positively the length to which certain na- tions are ready to go to gain advantages in the world order and the lack of respect for the rights of other people to enjoy what belongs to them. SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen In an article on American weights and measures, Wickes Wamboldt declared several of our prevailing units, . including the exact length of an inch, have never ‘been officially established by Congress. Perhaps that accounts for the amazing flexibility of the TVA “yardstick’’. An Army sergeant instructing re- cruits at target practice during the recent training camp period gave them this per- tinent word of caution: “These bullets will penetrate two inches of wood; so keep your heads down.” After 23 years of scientific breeding, J. W. Wilson of the South Dakota experi- ment station has succeeded in developing a breed of sheep without tails.

DYER Professor of Economics and Sociology, Vanderbilt University The right to work is a fundamental, constitutional, human, inalienable right that belongs to every American citizen. That it is the duty of the gov- ernment under the Constitution to give effective protection to every American citizen in the full exercise of this right there is no sort of question. There are ..o condi- tions nor cir- cumstances that can justify any abridgment of this right. Mr. Justice = - Brandeis is re- garded as ex- | tremely liberal in his conclusions as to the rights, of labor. In & recent opinion he had the following to say on “peaceful picketing”: “That term as used implies not only absence of vio- lence, but absence of any unlawful act. [t preclude: the intimidation of customers. It orecludes. A physical obstruction or with the employer’s bu: same opinion he said it was’ wrong for pickets to engage in was other thar. lawful “ or “inducing” or was not a mere ap- peal to the sympathies and would be aid of customers by a simple state- ment of the strike and the request to withhold patronage. The right to strike is nothing more than the right to quit work. When a worker gives up his job, he surren- ders all rights he had as an employe. and his status is the same as that of any other outsider His rights and his limitations with reference to his for- mer employer are clearly defined by Mr. Justice Brandeis and there is no justification for law cnforcement of- ficials who disregard these instruc- tions. The chief reason, it is believed, that strikers resort to force and terrorism to achieve their purposes is their con- do their duty in upholding the law ahd protecting the constitutional rights of employers, They believe that the law enforcement officials are either too weak or too cowardly to do their duty, or that they formal attempt to uphold strikes that the few officials who con- sider their oaths sacred and do duty, are branded as the tools tal There is absolutely no plate sympathetic bias in favor of either employes or the employer in the forcement of the law.

The cure for violence and lawless- ness in labor disputes is to be found in eliminating unworthy law enforce- ment officials from places. trust and in restoring the sanctity of the oath in the hearts of all public officials. It is deplorable that it has become necessary to form a nation wide or- Sanization to protect the constitu- tional rights of the citizen, to work under conditions of frisdom and ‘safety.
