The Citizen is an open forum and invites discus- sion of public issues and subjects of local or general interest but it will not publish anonymous communi- cations, Isolation has its advantages, but par- ticularly its inconveniences, A vacation would be grand if one did not have to come back to work and worry. What a man says in an interview is not as important as what he really thinks, if you can find out what that is, When the wife asks an embarrassing question one may play for a little time by remarking that her nose is shiny. Nothing is funnier than a young man who thinks he knows it all, unless it is an old man who knows he knows it all. Justice Black is thinking hard what kind of an answer he will give President Roosevelt, when the later asks for it. It is said that many deaf mutes can “feel” mitsic. So do we, but we couldn't print how-we feel about some kinds of it. Twelve new names for certain species of fishes have been adopted by scientists, probably to designate new kinds of suckers. The average stateman’s idea of farm relief is to give the farmer a chance to plaster another mortgage on the old home place. ! The quicker the non-advertising mer- chant realizes that advertising is an in- vestment and not an expenditure, the bet- ter for his business. For the thousandth time permit us to express the thought that any change in the Constitution should come only through the expressed will of the people. The Tampa Tribune says apropos to the sending of troops and ships to protect our investments abroad, “how about.a few marines to protect our investments at home?” There were 80,000 fewer persons living on farms in the United States at the beginning of 1987 than a year earlier. With relief work so much softer, they took the easiest way. Hill-billies are get- ting wiser. One man claims that taxpayers persecuted. Sure! Prosecuted, Times-Union. Taxpayers are never pros- ecuted, but tax dodgers are, and justly so. } And if there were more _ prosecutions, there would be fewer tax -— There is little justification for the ap-| prehensive tone shown recently in the se-! curity market.

Every once in a while, | however, one runs across an utterance on the part of a responsible leader which in- ahead. Recently, William A. Thompson, di- rector of an advertising bureau, suggested | to business men that they educate the pub- lic. He suggested that business men tell the people about the value of their serv-; ices and that they use intelligent methods | to eliminate public ignorance and popular } prejudice in order to make the country safe for industry. He urged business to-make “its case | clear and to organize the mighty force of public opinion behind it,” but, he points out, ‘“‘We cannot escape the fact that if many business enterprises would * plead their causes to the public,-they first clean their own premises and ¢ into’ court with clean hands.” oot This is probably good . advicéf= only for business, but for some of the pro- fessions as well. Too often an entire in- ‘dustry or profession carries the blame for the practices of a small minority. In many instances, ruthless competition breaks down proper ethics and the whole indus- try or profession suffers from the mis- deeds of a few. This happens to be so be- cause creditable and responsible leaders of industries and _ professions permit scamps and scallawags to do as they please without making any definite effort to halt their nefarious practices. NEUTRALITY DIFFICULT The difficulties involved in any policy of neutrality become apparent when one contemplates the relative position of Japan and China in régards to securing supplies from the United States. Force of circumstances, rather than law, makes this country the economic ally of Japan. The Japanese buy large quan- tities of raw material here and some of it is useful in warfare. Moreover, the Jap- anese have the ships to transport the goods that they buy. The Chinese, with- out shipping, and blockaded by the Jap- enese fleet, are almost cut off from access to our market for anything at all. ) If China possessed a fleet to transport the goods that it might buy. and ports! through which they could be landed then there would be something like equality. Under present national policies of this country the hope of the Chinese, to use American ships for transporting goods, is vain even though we recognize that the Japanese are the aggressors and waging a war of conquest in utter violation of inte national law. 5 | ee [Fhe SIE | THE POSITION OF THE SOUTH (Atlanta Constitution) Democrats of the South have given greater | allegiance to President Roosevelt to They hailed his broad than any | president since Cleveland. program of benefits for the submerged portion of |! the population because of the great humanitarian principles it embodied.
