We've got it. Allowing Mexico to confiscate Amer- ican property seems to be carrying the good neighbor policy a little too far. The Citizen is a modern device to spread information; you tell us and we’ll tell almost all the people of Key West. The World War was waged to “make the world safe for demoeracy;” the next war will determine whether the world will let democracy exist. Property owners of Key West are so accustomed not to. pay their city taxes that | they will find it onerous to do so once the city has a law that will clutch the tax dodgers. One of the hardest things to make a Key West woman believe is that her hus- band wil} love her more for keeping his | stomach contented than he will for keep- | ing his morals straight. i After all what does the German worker get out of Hitler’s glory? Smaller Pay, longer working hours and an official | labor passport, which, when revoked, | _ meant automatic discharge from his job —and.a quick trip to a concentration camp. | Many Americans pronounce the word | “Heil* which has the sound of hile with: a | long “i” 43 if it were, spelled. “héel,” and! bry iad most of us prefer to give it the,lathexseu Piped Md tetea: ta, contact, uk when’ it‘appears before the nate df Hitler, to attribute to him its:mreaninig' th, the wer | nacular, ae | a It is senseless beyond comprehension | that millions of men should sacrifice their lives and vast property damage done and | desolation spread over a wide area of the | earth’s surface simply because a madman with tremendous ‘power in his grasp covets | a small territory.

Mussolini did that on the border of Ethiopia, when a soldiers’ brawl gave him the excuse to make war on a de- fenseless people; when a Jap was killed by some Chinese, into China went the Mikado's forces; now when a member of the Sudeten party was killed in Czecho- slovakia and a couple of Sudeten deputies ' were horse-whipped, Hitler sees this in- cident as “outrageous terrorism” on the part of the Prague government, and makes further demands, demands so unwarrant- ed, if persistent in wil! lead to war, unless Czechoslovakia makes a complete and humiliating backdown. eliartéd'.a, course designed to ' profitabls ‘operation.

In their behalf we thank you. You will be interested in the following data concerning the work. Over the period January 1 to August 31, 972 days of hos- Ppitalization were rendered through the cooperation™ of the |Marine Hospital. Toward this the Council paid the per diem ‘eosts of $1,960.50.

HOUDINI GIVES UP After more than ten years of futile efforts to make contact: with the spirit of her dead husband, Mrs. Harry Houdini, widow of the famed magician, finally an- nounced a few days ago that she had given up trying to communicate with him. During his lifetime, Houdini scoffed | at spiritualism, and exposed many decep- tive tricks of spiritualists. Before his | death in 1926, however, he made an agree- ment with his wife to try to.make contact with her through a spiritualistie medium. | In pursuance of the experiment Mrs. | Houdini took part in many seances, and at one time it was reported that she thought the effort had been successful. repudiated this, but. continued. te attend the seances. In her recent statement she said rvatten his deuth ‘ahd> oth péied..;"After the last seance almost two yeiirs-Ago I stopped trying.“ oH This is one of many instances in which perscns have agreed to make such experiments, and some have claimed suc- | cess in establishing communication with | spirits of the departed. But none of these | claims has scrutiny. stood up under scientific UNITED STATES STRIVING FOR TAX RECORD Americans often attempt toe cheer themselves by arguing that our tax. bur- den is not yet so heavy as that borne by the British people. But, as Harry Scher- man points out in the New Republic, this is definitely a misconception. Due to the tremendous increase in taxation that has taken place here in re-! cent years, we have the unenviable distine- tion of having caught up with theEngtish. In the last fiscal year, the English. people | paid $107 per person in taxes. And the American people paid precisely the same. Furthermore, much of our emergency spending has been financed by deferring the taxing period—that is, by inflating the debt, and incurring gigantic obligations to be paid in the future. If we made our tax income equal our tax outgo, it would very possibly be discovered that we are the highest taxed nation in the world.
