You might not’ make the million. Now that the commencement orators have finished their addresses, the nation will continue to mind its own business, What this country’ needs, among other things, is more thinking and fewer stieet- corner orators, of whom we have a few right here in old Cayo Hueso.

The losses formed one of the | real. causes underlying the city’s complete | collapse a few years back. If Key West grasps ‘an ‘opportunity | néw offering itself there is a chatice to be- | gin rebuilding our economic — chassis. | Howard Wilson, deputy collector of in- | ternal revenue, points out that a bill is | pending in Congress to establish a mer- | chant marine training school. Fearing there | is 2 movement afoot to locate the school at New York City rather than at Key West, Wilson suggests action by the civic organi- | zations of Key West to bririg the institu- ‘tion here—where it belongs. The Chamber of Commerce already is making some in- | vestigation of the matter. No other American port is étter equipped, locatéior endowed. by nature | with such an equgble climate'as Key West. The navy yard lends itself perfectly to con- version’ in part into a merchant mart school. There are buildings in tip-topieon- dition; with every facility for teaching navigation, communication and seaman- | ship. There is plenty of room for 35 com- mission officers and a large personnel nec essary to conduct the school. They and their families:alone would become import- anit corisumers of the goods we have to sell. We do not know just what steps should be takén to bring that school to Key West onde it is authorized and financed by Congress. We do know that Senators Claude Pepper and C. O. Andrews, Congressman: nominate, Pat Cannon and other members of the Florida congressional delegation would be willing to assist the city to land this school if they were properly approach- ed and urged to do something. There should be no time lost in furthering this effort. IN A DICTATORSHIP The meeting between Dictators Hitler and Mussolitii in Rome stood for one thing i—the meeting of the two outstanding rep- resentatives of Fascistn, which they be- lieve promises so much for the people. A few lines of copy in the Rome Cor- réspondents’ reports of the meeting surely gives the dictatorship system away in fine style. The corresporidents reported that: “The lighting effects were so spec- tacular that it was necessary to raise oné evening from 8,000 to 14,000 kilo- watts.” It wouldn't be fair to compare Romé’s electrical consumption with New York’s with its 7,000,000 of population. But it is fair to: make one comparison of electrical | consuniption in this country—a Demo- eracy. I The Music Hall Theater in Radio City, in New York, along: uses 12}000' kilo of electricity evety day of the year! Yes, people a lot. CONCERNING “FALSE DOCTRINES” Mrs. William A.

However, Mrs. Becker goes a didn’t, but usually only the latter are held | bit further and explains the purpose of her in atigty memory, while the standbys’; proposal. It is to combat “the invasion of loyalty is forgottet. new ideas, new theories, false doctrines.” | While Americans genefally may agree Tt hasn't happened as yet, but it can happen. Some day there might be a” revolution by the direct taxpayers. Not all Husitiess rien are as docile as the Miami grocer, for example; who’ couldn't pay his taxes and turned the keys of His busine’s place over to the deputy shetiffs, who! came to collect the taxes he couldn't pay. THIS cas€ is n0t isdlated: It is “typical.

Good ativice along this line was given by a wise mati many yeats ago. The words of jamatiel, a Pharisee, are worth remember- ing. He said: “For if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to naught; but if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found to fight even against God.” | : THe | ecccccccccccecesocesoces| A TWIRL OF TODAY’S COMMON {| '* BRROR 1) Epitome is pronéuincéd’ { epit'-o-me: not ep’-itémé 9 agree with those of The Citi- | seeeseeseoeesesee | gen).
