Even the bombs over China have not killed as many people as we kill in this land of the free every year. The stovk market has reached the Stage where it is every man for himself and “sauve qui peu,” as Napoleon shouted to his scattering army, when it was routed ‘at the Battle of Waterloo. Japanese cooperation with China is not easily understood by other nations, but in a topsy-turvy world everything must be done in a topsy-turvy way. In a crazy world, the sane are viewed with suspicion. j finally declared. that ‘this, country MR. STIMSON URGES ACTION It is an interesting coincidence that on the very day that. President Roosevelt delivered his address at Chicago, urging peace-loving nations to take concerted ac- | tion in behalf of peace, former Secretary | of State Henry L. Stimson made an appeal ! for joint aetion by the nations to curb | Japan. Mr. Stimson, it will be recalled, was | in office when the crisis arose..ever Jap- anese action in Manchuria. He attempted to make effective protest.at that time but was not supported by other | nations would not recognize any gains won by Japan in violation of the Nine Power treaty, as im- plemented by the Kellogg-Briand pact re- nouncing war as an instrument of national | policy. Mr. Stimson’s letter had been com- pleted before the President’s speech in general, their ideas were harmonious and he hailed Mr. Roosevelt's utterance as “an act of leadership” which, he hoped, would “result in a new birth of American courage in facing and carrying out our re- sponsibilities in this crisis.” “China’s principal need,’” says Mr. Stimson,. “is not that something should be done by.outside nations to help her, but that outside nations should cease helping her enemy.” He stressed the dependence ‘of Japan upon the United States and the British commonwealth for vitally essential commodities, which in her “present totter- ing financial condition”’ she can purchase only by exports, mostly raw silk, of which the United States buys about eight per cent. “With the foreign exchange thus ob- tained from us Japan is purchasing . . . the raw materials for her guns,” he con- cludes, In the opinion of this former cabinet member, Japanese aggression is not only being actively assisted by selling and buying in this country and Great Britain “but our assistance is so effective and pre- dominant that without it even today the; aggression would in all probability be promptly checked and éease.” Mr. Stimson.does not think that the Far Eastern crisis is a case where there “should be any thought of America send- ing armies to participate in the strife that and | but, | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN | | This shows the new Dodge 120-inch wheelbase, 34-1 ton stake model with cab and seven-foot stake body.

Ajccommodations in 1492 ‘were not all that could be desired, but considerable improvements have been made ice then. If they had not, the tourist siness would have slumped. This is a minder that Key West must now plan to commodate the many visitors who have cluded this ‘beautiful island ‘in their inerary or they will never come back and Iso influenced their friends to stay away. ‘That must be avoided. Press dispatches from Spain state that Ernest. Hemingway, the author who is a citizen of Key West, had a narrow es- cape from death when the hotel where he was a guest was bombed. One of the bombs in its destructive mission crashed into the room where the author of “Fare- well to Arms” was engaged in writing his impressions of the internecine war in the land of the Don.
