Most of us like praise and it is some- thing of a shock to be criticised unless the remark is addressed in general terms. We have been inclined to think of ourselves as well-educated people, a} nation of intelligence and, even, perhaps, some wisdom. Now comes Dr. Robert M. | Hutchins, of the University of Chicago to! tell us the’truth that we subconsciously | suspected. : Despite the most extensive’ and ela- borate educational system in. the world, says the University leader; the people of this country are still uneducated. “Our! people have little knowledge and much‘ opinion,” is the burden of his complaint. | He find our people have acquired a good | deal of information but that they “have | not learned to think.” Dr. Hutchins says the practical issues | of our times are not new, having always} existed because “man is man’’ and_ that} the clue to our difficulties is to be found in “the nature of the world and man.” He concludes that we confront these funda- mental issues with little assistance from our education and without attempting to understand nate alid thus secure the an a be 5 PUBLICITY FOR FISCAL AFFAIRS . as What does the average inhabitant of Key West know about the fiscal manage- ment of the affairs of his home. town, his home county, his home state or the United States? We regret to report that he knows practically nothing, and it is not alto- gether the fault of the people. The operation of governments is not a matter for a few officials, regardless of how able and honest they may be. Gov- ernment, in this country, is a partnership of all the people, and the officials’ in charge should render an accounting to Just how this is to be done, we do not particularly care. The best way that we know for the people of a government to be acquainted with the fiscal affairs of | Service has begun. ;000 which came |points on the morning train. ; Meacham Airport KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY Happenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files of The Citizen The Cuban-American air mail Cy Caldwell, pilot of the La Nina, a seaplane belonging to a Cuban corporation, took off from here this morning with seven bags of mail destined for all parts of the world. There were close to 13,000 letters from_ Key West alone, and around 15,-: in from other The quantity was so large that Pilot Caldwell had to leave his me- chanic, Carl Rouse, in Key West while the plane made the trip to Havana. The Cuban plane ‘was pressed in service on account of the rains of Saturday and Sunday which made impossible the com- pletion of the runways at the by yesterday afternoon. This prevented the big land plane being sent to Key West to take up the run. Almost squarely in front of the knot of spectators on the beach the plane left the water headed north, into the winil. Aviator Caldwell con- tinued the plane in this direction, gaining altitude, and then turned about, passed squarely over the watchers and headed for Havana. It was 8:04 o'clock when the plane passed out of sight. Tentative plans for the Red Cross Roll Call which will begin on November 11 were,made at a largely attended meeting of the local chapter this morning., The city will be diviled into districts and these will be represented by the various civic, fraternal and other bodies of the city. Key West’s quota this year is 2000 members but it is expected this will be largely exceeded. Another meeting is to be held on Novem- ber 2 at which time representa- tives of the organizations at to- day’s meeting will report as to what support may be expected from these bodies. Miss Lyon, local secretary, showed that it re- quired about $3,600 each year to maintain the local unit, and this city does not often contribute this amount. The hope is, she said, that this year Key West wil] not fail. (Continued from Page One) [countries with large gold stocks jgnd markets.

Apparently, the speech of the President has em- phasized the necessity of making a choice as the course of the United States. For four years, Secretaries Wallace and Hil have been insisting that this na- tion “must choose between eco- nomic isolation from the world and upon our decision (may rest the peace of the World. It is, essential that | Americans} understand which must the consequences follow a. sustained policy of isolation. Necessarily, agriculture and industry, which , depend on foreign markets, will |suffer and there will , be , bigger and better agencies of the Gov- ernment to control ard readjust agriculiure, industry and finance. This policy would mean increased power for the Federal Govern- ment, inevitatly along the lines being followed in Germany, Italy and Japan, and, possibly, some relinquishment of Democratic processes. It would probably re- quire the enlargement, of our military and navel forces and the gearing of our naiional economic life to meet the demands of sud- den warfare. On the ‘other hand, a policy of cocperction with the world, leading to the ‘development of mutual trading interests and the gradnal improvement of liy- ing conditions in all countries, would tend to remove the irrita- tions now ‘threatening war and, in time, prod“ce a feeling of con- tentment and security almost everywhere.

COUGHLIN ABANDONS THE AIR The Rev. Charles E, Coughlin has an-} nounced the abandonment of a series of radio addresses to the country, following a rebuke issued by Archbishop Edward Mooney, of Detroit.
