The democratic countries of Europe face the necessity of a final decision, whether they are going to war, if neces- sary, to prevent the autocratic militaristic countries from running rough-shod over Europe. The seriousness of the present situa- tion fully justifies the position of those who for many years urged that collective action should have been taken to prevent aggression in the past. Step by step the dictaters have accomplished their -pur- poses in the face of the natural hesitation’ of peace-loving countries to risk war. In 1931, Japan violated its treaty agreements and took Manchuria~ from China. The United States vainly attempt- ed to form a group of nations to uphold the sanetity of treaties, but neither Britain nor France would cooperate. In 1933, Hitler surprised the world by Germany’s withdrawal from the League ' of Nations. In 1934, Hitler shoeked the world by his famous “blood purge” in which he |taken from those issued by the killed many men who had been his close U.

In 1936, Hitler again violated the Versailles Treaty when he marched his soldiers into the Rhineland and reoccupied it. Key West has led all the rest of the state of Florida combined in the value of her exports by more than $30,000,000 in the last three years. During that period net far from the sum of $110,000,- 000 worth of goods have passed through this port bound for the foreigp markets: In the same time all the rest of the state put to- / gectifey has shipped to foreign geuntries only a little over $75,- 000,000 worth. Key West’s exact total for the period, excluding July of last year, for which fig- ures are not available, is $107,- 798,117. The total of the remain- coe ed is $76,290,091. This gives this city an excess over the rest of the state of $31,508,026. It also shows that Key West's figures for the past three years’ exports have been exactly 61.5 percent of the total for the nine ports of Florida combined.
