Like Manhattan, Key West is an is- land, but though considerably smaller, nevertheless, its original sale brought $1,- 976 more than was paid for Manhattan by Peter Minuit, the Indians receiving $24 for the island that is now estimated to be worth $50,000,000,000.

Trippe, president of a large airways system? He says that further advancement of American commercial aviation depends upon adequate governmental regulation of air lines. He points out that economic regulation for rail transportation, for high- way transportation and for tion have been achieved and adds that “today there are no Federal laws that guard against destructive competition by j parallel air services,” that “the public is not protected from destructive ratecutting on the one hand nor the charging of ex- orbitant tariffs on the other,” and that “the air lines have no assurance of con- tinunity of service as would be provided through issuance of certificates of public convenience and necessity.” What does it mean? Simply, broth- ers and sisters, another example of big business interests calling for governmental aid to assist them in setting up a paying business. He would avoid ‘destructive competition” by having the government in- terfere with business but, be it noted, this time the interference.:would help profits, and. theréforé! i#')retuasted.

We have no criticism to make of Mr. Trippe and believe that what he requests is reasonable and probably necessary if air lines are to grow and prosper. We call attention to his remarks, however, in or- der to illustrate a pet theory of ours, that big business, which yells out in pain when the government helps the farmer or la- borer, is just as ready to cry out loud for the nursing bottle that is labelled “gov- ernmental assistance pap.” COUGHLIN’S EXPERIENCE The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin is off the air, having been “rebuked” by Pope Pius for his broadcasts, but some. of his “friends and followers” are. working to have him restored to the air. The Detroit Priest has appealed to them to cease agitation and the sending of telegrams to his church superiors de- signed to secure the resumption of his broadcasts. We presume that many of Coughlin’s admirers will accept his advice but Walter! Baertschi, national coordinator of the Social Justice Councils, déclares he will pay no attention to “any statement by Pope Pius or to pleas of the radio priest that mass protect meetings be stopped.” This illustrates one of the dangers be- setting “leaders” of protest movements. It is a lot easier to organize and operate them than it is to stop them.
