Flynn, | economist and writer, who says that the United States has a choice of gambles. One gamble, he says, is to unite with ether democratic States to stop a European war. The other is to keep out of their quarrels and seek to remain out of the war Flynn prefers the Let us assume that he is tight. What then? Well, the European nations fight themselves to exhaustion, did in 191418. Meanwhile, the United States become rich and powerful, probably the possessor of most of the earth’s real wealth. So far, the reasoning is easy. What next? Well, if we are to judge the future by the past, the broken-down nations will attempt to arm themselves te get a “place in the sun.” This will involve taking some- | thing from the United States peaceably, if possible, and by arms, if necessary. Thus we get back to the vicious circle of armament and warfare. FOOD IS DIFFERENT ° Food is’one of the ancient possessions | of mankind; although the preparation of Consolidation of County and City Governments. There is many a pro long on con. food is an art that has been highly develop- | ed in some sections of the world. In Key West for example, one would | expect to find that the preparation of food | for the family table would be, in general, | the same, but such is not the case.

If the merchants neglect to invite peo- ple to their stores, through ‘ advertising, they might also neglect to visit the stores. The Times-Union paragtapher sug- gests the advisability of burying the bone of contention, but unhappily it is not tan- gible. : Some Miami politicians are shaking in their boots and so should all crooked and grafting politicians, no miatter where they be.. It might be a good idea to let the people vote upon that 20-cents-a-mile travel allowance that the Congressmen get between sessions.

What is needed, apparently, is more | seientific attention to the culinary art by the women of the county,, who are in con- trol of the family diet. This is not a study | to be lightly cast aside, because science is finding new truths about various foods and their importance every day. z SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen After paying all debts, a profit of $160,000 made by the Chicago Century of Progress exposition, held in 1933-34, was recently distributed to seven of the city’s publie and philanthropic agencies. This is said to be the first international exposition to show an actual profit. George D. Brooke, who began his railroad career in 1902 as a rodman after two years of school teaching, recently be- came president of the Chesapeake & Ohio | Railway, succeeding the late W. J.

This brings us up to the subject of the incipient, or budding, or threat- ened boom of 1936-37. Marriner S. Eccles, the Chairman of Fed- ral Reserve told the Senate Un- employment Committee that pay- of Model T and V-8 fame—pro-'ments of the soldier's bonus in 1936 helped to bring on the pres- ent recession by throwing recov- ery out of balance through the creation of inflationary psychole- here. If Mr. Eccles is even sus- pected of being right he stopped short of a complete diagnosis.

Mr. Cameron also falls in- to the easy to avoid kind of er- ror when he overs that New Deal policies are concocted in certain ousiness counsels to attain certain unbusiness-like ends—that THAT business supported the candidate who agreed to accept it.

Expressing sincere conviction is one thing—malicious smearing is quite something else. No nor- mal person would knowingly seek to associate Mr. Roosevelt with low cunning. To be sure, the President, himself, must realize | that he has made some serious | blunders, but even the mos* par- tisan anti-New Dealers, those who disagree with Roosevelt most bit- terly in policy and procedure, know that even his worst mis- takes are made in the blindness of devotion to cause an? duty— as he sincerely interprets cause and duty. But Mr. Cameron is impressive ly right when he draws a distine tion between two types of busi- }mess men—one creates business as |an inventive builder, and the oth- ler is made by business. The pub- lic regards Mr. Ford as a busines> ' maker and an outstanding Ameri- can, despite the unwise and un- |bridled statements of his spokes- jman.

Wallace brief upturn of last spring was but the temporary delirium of Governmental heavy spending. It bore all the earmarks of a real boom while the easy money lasted, but now that the veterans have spent their bonus cash the same old slump comes back wit a sudden thud—like falling out of bed. In addition, and contri- buting largely toward making matters no better fast, the $4,- 800,000,000 relief goose has stop- ped laying her, golden eggs and gone broody—and. persists in fol- lowing her maternal instincts in spite of all the tricks and bland- ishments known to brain-trusters and sophomores for persuading Goosie to give up setting and re- sume her egg-laying activities.
