In Great Britain the belief is general that it has been “shot to pieces’ by recent trials and the executions of generals. France, apparently, does not know how much reliance can be placed in Soviet alliance. What will count in the interest of peace in Europe is the opinion that the Germans have of the Soviet Army. Czecho- Slovakia, next in line for German atten- tion, has a mutual defense pact with Soviet Recently Voroshiloff, head of the Soviet Army, made a significant utterance which reassured Prague. Voroshiloff said, according to leading Czecho-Slovakian officials, “Germany sent 200 planes to Spain to he!p defeat the Span- ish Government. Very well. We will send aid to Czecho-Slovakia, if necessary, not 200 but 2,000. And we say to the brown fel- low (Hitler, the Brown srirt leader), for every kilometer you dare to advance in Czecho-Slovakia, we will destroy a Ger- | man town.” Konrad Henlein, leader of the Sudeten German Party in Czecho-Slovakia recently declared that his followers, “like Germans in every part of the world,” accepted the | Nazi ideology. In his speech, making de- mands upon the Government at Prague. he included the threat that although the Germans of Czecho-Slovakia did not seek war at home or abroad, they would no longer tolerate a state of affairs ‘that Ger- man comment termed his speech the “last warning.” If Germany makes an against Czecho-Slovakia, it will be based largely upon the belief that the Soviet Army is incompetent, ‘Not only has Czecho- Slovakia a mutual defense pact with Rus- sia, but the nation is bulwarked by a mu- tual aid treaty with France, an anti-aggres. sor pact with Russia, Yugo-Slavia, Rumania and Turkey and a treaty within the Little Entente itself.

Key West must have other sources of income and the mt move Key West’: can make for itself is to encour- age the g of cigars, with the cause he dared speak against der| publicity it is getting today and Fuhrer’s tyranny, or liquidated | the reputation it had years ago by a Stalin, for not being one of his spies or yes-men. In 1605 when James I asserted that he ruled by ‘divine right’, Cardinal Bellarmine took the field against that insolent claim. The fact that our Declaration of Independence seems at times no more than an echo of Bellarmine’s/ political teachings, shows that a churchman may at times express! his views outside of the pulpit. To clarify the question of Church and State, let me define their claims. Religion says it re- ceives its authority from God, and its mission is to lead men to heaven; in the State, authority is given by God to the people, who transmit it by their representa- tives to the ruler. Church and State means that a Union of} for good cigars. Have been informed that an experienced cigar manufacturer of high-grade cigars, formerly of Tampa, Fla., is in Key West and willing to make a try at it. Un- derstand he is willing to put his years of experience and capital in the business, but, naturally, Key West must do its part, for it would receive the most benefits from this industry. Lets not blind ourselves in re- gard to the Highway. It is won- derful, but we must have an in- dustry and the cigar industry is the only thing that can bring Key West to the front. Two or three cigar factories could take care of the slack that’s bound to come in the next 12 months.

Rulers from diden times, like Nabuchodonozor, com- pelled all to adore their statues, Roman emperors assumed divin- ity and dictators, in a certain way, are doing the same.
