THE KEY WEST CITIZEN TOO LATE T0 By RUSSELL KAY eecccccecesessececcooses Every motorist at some time in his life has had to contend with the back seat driver. No matter how sincere the purpose of those who would direct, but do not hold the wheel, it usually occurs that when they are suddenly shoved into the driver's seat they exhibit less ability and poorer judgment than those they so freely criticize. Psychology of this character must have influenced the Presi- dent when after long months of criticism of his every aim and action he saw fit to turn amiably to those in the back seat and say, “All right, it's your car—climb over here in the, front)seat and show me how to do it”. Congress took over the wheel and ran the battery down tryin’ to start and didn’t get anywhere. Then at the President’s invitation Big Business confidently took the steering wheel, got the engine go- ing, but couldn't figure out how} to release the break. Then Little Business took its turn, pulling levers, pushing pedals, and mess- ing around generally with no re- sults. And all this has been helpful. | Labor and Capital, Big Business and Little Business have all been given an opportunity to express a view. All have been given a chance to sit in and tell their story as well as suggest a rem- edy. It has created a better feeling all along the line. We all appreci- ate an opportunity to blow off) steam. We all hold certain opin- ions and it gives us a feeling of self-importance when we are al- lowed to express them. While the complaints and sug- gested remedies advanced by La- bor on the one hand are quite dif- ferent.and in conflict with those} made and urged by Industry, the} fact that both sides are given a} say paves the way for eventual! agreement and understanding: | Equally at variance are the aims and of those groups! known as BIG and LITTLE Busi-' ‘ness, yet none of the problems presented by any group are be- yond solution, provided ALL will work together harmoniously with that end sincerely in ‘view. The action of Presitient Roose- velt in calling all interests into conference and giving all an equal opportunity to discuss our national problems and advance their suggested remedies has done more than any other one thing to restore confidence both in the administration itself and in the country’s future. Out of it all should come a sound, constructive administra- tion policy that will make for the welfare of all interests. Both Congress and the nation today are better able to face the task of de- termining what todo or not to, do than was the case before these conferences were held. Like‘ the back seat driver, un- expectedly thrust in the driver's seat, these varied groups and in- terests have come to realize that we have a rough and rugged road to travel at best and nothing is} to be gained in trying to yank the wheel away from an able and experienced chauffeur or in con tinually bothering him with im practical advice and non-con- structive criticism Strengthened is the position of Senator Claude Pepper who has consistently refused to join the back seat chorus and has attempt- ed to assist the driver by adjust ing the sun visor to eliminate the glare, wiping off the windshield when the fog got too thick and, with the ultimate destination in view, cautioning when he reached @ erostroad and. referring to the magi satisfying himself as to the right road. There are those who would de ‘Bt Tight.in serine Soth the President and Claude Pepper ousted from the ter andtepiaced by others concerned ,mare with the ride than the destination, but the ma- jority of the passengers are bent on GETTING SOMEWHERE and after listening to ali the bicker- ing and argument are tisfied | that the situation is im pretty good hands as it stands. We still have a lot of hill climb- ing to do and while the road aheadj Mt impassable it is going to some careful and cau- tious driving to get us through in comfort_and safety. We've all had a turn at the wheel and it ap- pears that our regular chauffeur seems %6 be able to handle the car as well if not better than any- one else in the crowd. Claude lish Get Mike-Fright At Street Broadcast (By Axsociated Press) LONDON, Feb. 11—Britain’s first “vox pop” broadcast recent- ly gave radio listeners a kick and was pronounced a success—al- though the pedestrian victims were pretty skittish about the whole affair. A crowd of passersby gathered when an announcer set ‘up his microphone in St. Paul’s church- yard. But it scattered when he tried to draw them to the mike to relate their New Year's resolu- tions. Enough persons finally ‘¢onsent-,, ed to talk to make up a 10-min- ute pfogram. has given him some feal help and enabled us to avoid a number of rough spots. -Now if the rest of you guys want to sit up and fret and worry, you can, but for my part I'm gonna relax and let the boys go on drivin’ like they been doin’. If you ask me, this ain't no time to be changin’ drivers. We have been gettin’ along mighty good, and I'm the kind of a guy that believes in lettin’ well enough alone. ‘Today In History Seccccsceceresecesescece each State having one vote, on 36th ballot made Jefferson Presi- dent and Burr Vice President. 1861—Abraham Lincoi left his Springfield, Ohio, home for Washington to assume the Presi- 1869—Dr. Samuel A.
