PAGE FOUR ‘ JOINT ONEVERGLADES PARK QUESTION “SECRETARY §. C. SINGLETON | DELIVERS ADDRESS ON AC-| TIVITIES OF KEY WEST CHAMBER ‘OF COMMERCE Secretary S. C. Singleton, of the Chamber of Commerce, was the speaker of the day at the *taneheon of the Key West Rotary | Clib.-‘Thursday noon and deliv- ered'an cloquent address on mat- ters relating, principally, to soa chamber. Touching on the multifarious | duties of a secretary, the speaker | gave a brief outline of the work | ‘which was facing him at the present time, the letters which must be answered: Many of the letters call for, in the language of .Stevenson, “all that a man! hath of fortitude and delicacy” | _and the acknowledgements show | they.are appreciated. Refers To Association | The ‘speaker then referred to | “the Plorida Commercial Secre- ‘taries Association”, which he con- | sidered it a high privilege to be- long and quoted from the annual | report and a talk made by James | Albert’ Wales, president of the} “Wales Advertising Co., as fol- ‘lows: “How many of you have been | to Bermuda? How many of you | know .what it is? It is a tiny} group of islands out in the At-j| lantic-Ocean, over 500 miles from | the nearest land, and it has an} area of less than 20 square miles | and population of 30,000, one- ‘half of whom are colored. { Invest—Not Spend | “Phere 15,000 wiites and 15,- | 290 colored people invest close | to $100,000 yearly in advertising. | Note that I said invest and not | spend, because they make it pay. | It has to pay because it is their | only business. They have no oth- | ef sdurce of revenge. Either the | -advertising pays, or they go bust. ““ “Twelve years ago the Ber-! mudians. were rebuilding their | travel'trade, after the war. They | Wiad 17,000 the year before, and | Tealized that was not enough, | ‘They increasd their advertising | from $17,000 to $22,000, and. at-/ 22,000 visitors in 1929, an, Curiously | yugh, as the appropriation in- creased year by year, we found | we..were getting our yisitors at per head up to 1934 when we | were getting over 80,000 for $80,- | 000. “a | ..,, Advertises In Northeast | ‘Advertising is concentrated | in*magazines and newspapers cir- | culating most largely in the northeastern section of the Unit- | ed States, because you have to | By HUGO Ss.

Wales talk that is part of my vo-| éatiol' to bring to you. He says: “‘Appeal to the best class of tra’ ts and all others will fol- m like sheep. Mass will elyays follow class, but class will never follow mass. If you go_ bs the cheapest people you) get nothing else. The most) Sapemical method is to go after) the.key people, the ones the oth- rain and imitate. ‘This’ is a Snobbistinesg, it is common sense. Not Always Rich | “The key people are not al-| ways the richest, they are pri- marily .the refined and cultural | people, the doctors, the artists, | the -writers, the ministers, and above-all we are not discriminat- ing against wealth, for money is not to be despised. “*Above all, you do not want the sporty set that has spoiled so many places. Here is an example | of What can be done to attract the worthwhile classes: When we took ‘over the Bermuda account they were taking small space in newspapers, advertising the usual outdoor sports, sea gardens, un- derground caves, all in a sort of Coney Island style, and they got lots of cheap people with it. “We. told them they were too Poer.to afford such expensive advertising, and they were, there- fore; going to use nothing but advertisements in color, in class magazines, and we are getting the very finest people and lots “This, Rotarians”, the speaker concluded, “is a glimpse of what my vocation means to me. This is-but-@ small page out of a large volume, and J think if you were all: familiar with it, the future of Key West would be very bright indeed”. ‘A joint club meeting with the Lions Club and the Stone Church Service Club is planned for the near.future when G. O. Palmer, executive chairman of the Ever- glades Nationa) Park Association | President Alfredo Baklomir of Uru- guay, (left) and Ambassador Long. Tr peace and good will existing between the peoples of the de- mocracies of North America and South America. were remarkably symbolized in the enthusiastic re- ceptions recently accorded. the 88 Brazil on its voyage to inaugu- vate Uncle Sani’s new luxury liner service between New York and Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Montevideo and Buenos Aires, In each of these ports flags and bunting decked the streets, bands played, friendly hordes of Brazil- jans, Uruguayans and Argentinians streamed to the piers to welcome the ship and visit it. The presidents of each of the re- publics, attended by high-ranking ministers of state, went on board the Brazil to greet officially the “Good Will Mission which the United States Government sent on the in- augural voyage to carry the greet- ings of its 180,000,000 citizens to the 61,500,000 neighbors residing in the three East Coast democracies. (Brazil, pop. 46,000,000; Uruguay, 2,500,000; Argentina, 13,000,000.) ‘The mission was headed by Breck- inridge Long, former Ambassador to Italy, named Ambassador Extraor- dinary on Special Mission for the voyage; Rear Admiral] Emory 8. Land, chairman of the United States Maritime Commission, which sponsored the “Good Neighbor Fleét” as a major step in the re- habilitation of the American Mer- chant Marine. Rear Admiral Henry A. Wiley, member of the commission; Rep. Schuyler Otis Bland of Virginia, chairman of the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, and William C. Burdett, U. S. Consul General at Rio. ‘The enthusiasm with which the Brazil was received in South Anier- ica exceeded anything that had been expected, Admiral Land reported upon his return, “Both in official circles and in the press the inauguration of this new service has been hailed as some- thing long desired and finally real- ized,” the Admiral said. “With conflict to the East and ‘West, we can look to the South and find neighbors at peace with whom ‘we share the desire ‘to, promote the interests of democracy, that these two great continents may make ever more secure their Arjen tabin and their future.” Trayel between the Americas is “just beginning,” Admiral Land pre- dicted, with the Brazil's sister ships, THE KEY WEST-CITIZEN CLUB MEET | Presidents of Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina Hail Uncle Sam’s “Good Neighbor” Fleet cae six years ago and intensified | ‘by the events of the past few | years, has given — the United | States “a better standing” in! | South America where the Popu- | ‘larity of this country is at a new peak among the peoples of the |various countries. Moreover, it j is inevitable that the rulers of the) twenty-one republics are con- scious of the troubled condition | of world affairs and somewhat see of the aggressive | policies of several nations. They , |are weil aware of their own in- | ability to protect their continent | from attack and realize the ne-| | cessity, solely on the basis of | their own self-interest, of closer ties with the United States. As the year 1938 comes to a\** { close, it is easily apparent that| ithe great powers of the world) lare engaged in an armaments) \race and the only supposition is! ‘that they expect to have a war, | Of course, all these nations pre- |tend that they want peace, if pos- ; sible, and that they intend to de-| fend their counfry. Back of these ; |words, which are the same in| *| democratic and totalitarian states, | ~ ee la F ‘The entwined flags of Uruguay and the United States. SS Uruguay and SS Argentina, fol- lowing it in regular fortnightly sail- ings for the 38-day round-trip cruise with constantly increasing passen- ger lists. “The mutual benefits which I am sure will accrue to both North and South America are invaluable,” Ad- miral, Land concluded. “Thefe is much for the people of each continent to discover. And the greater the travel and commerce between us, the better our under- standing of each other. “Thus the better neighbors we become, and the firmer the founda- tions of our friendship.” From his personal experience on the voyage, Admiral Land praised the Brazil as having “every facility possible to insure the comfort and safety of passengers.” The Brazil, like its sister ships, is 600 feet long, displacing 32,000 tons, All rooms are outside, dining rooms are air-conditioned; passen- gers disport in an open-air tiled swimming pool and on the broad decks. “I have never enjoyed a voyage more than I did our trip to Buenos. Aires and return on the SS which Inaugurated the ‘Good Neigh- bor Fleet’ service,” Admiral Land reported. At Next Congress; Monopoly Investigation “Stu- pendous”; New U.S. Friendship At Pan Amer- ican Lima Conference; Nearby World War With Big International Armament Race Led By Democracies Baseball has its winter leagues, where the fans sit close to warm stoves in freezing weather and discuss the prospects of the com- |ing season, and politicians, on days when action is slow, follow {much the same routine. Newspa- writers and columnists, when they have nothing definite to write about, resort to their specu- lations about future events, re- |gardless of the fact that their | predictions rarely come true. Much of the same state of af- fairs exists in regards to the next session of Congress, with even an experienced political leader like Senator Charles L. |McNary talking about what the Republicans will do when they ‘jein with conservative Demo- crats". This is a favorite indoor Speculation at this date. Poli- ticians and writers estimate how many anti-Administration Demo- ¢crats will join with so-many Re- publicans ad undo the President's New Deal program. Even Mr. McNary says there are three parties represented in Congress, “Demoerats, Republicans New Dealers”.

It simply won't exist, except in a few isolated tests. In fact, both of the major parties have their factions, as the Republicans found out at their meeting in Washington last month, Democrats, it is true, are not unanimous; neither are the Re- publicans. There are liberal wings in both parties, and also a fac-, tion that wants to be successful at the polls, regardless of liberal or consrvative principles. The prospect is that both par-, ties in Congress will attempt to outdo the other in taking care of | the farmer, the veteran, the old age group, and the union labor program. When it comes to na-; tional defense, the chances are that both parties will favor a larger navy, a modernized army and thousands of new planes. Everybody will be talking about relievnig the taxpayer and taking the burdens off of business so ing. The differences will be most- ly in method, in administration and side issues that will be ar- sued hotly for their political value in the 1940 election. There is going to be no drastic change in the policies that have been underway for the past few years, regardless of the coalition talk and political prognosticators! After six months of elaborate preparation the government's in- vestigation of monopoly got un- der way last week with the idea of surveying the national econom- ic machinery. It is expected that the work will continue for many months. Sensational headline | ;Rews is not to be the rule, nor is the committee, headed by Sen- jator Joseph €.
