That theorem also ap- plies-to governments, and that makes the American government the most liberal in the world. "Question: Can a newspaper refuse to publish a legal advertisement for a lawyer if that lawyer is indebted to the newspaper for legals published and not paid for, even though he offers to pay cash_for another order of publicatin. An- swer: ~ Yes, The Citizen is reliably informed that since the establishment of the Shenandoah National Park, you can’t. buy land in the vicinity of the Park area for four times its selling price before the Park was. estab- lished. The same would unquestionably | apply. fo the Everglades National Park, | once. established. _Though there was a drop of $38,000,- 000 in 1938 as compared to 1937, never- theless Americans spent $525,000,000 for | foreign travel last year, as reported by the Department of Commerce. in this trade greatly favors the foreign nations, as foreigners visiting the United States spent a meager $160,000,000. ‘The Key West Citizen, apparently ap- | preciative of its balmy climate, notes: “It is. said that cold baths prolong life, but that would only mean more cold baths.’’— Times-Union. Salt water bathing in the warmth of the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, available in Key West winter or summer, suits most temperatures and temperaments. “Phe appearance of Neville Chamber- | lain with his ever-present umbrella clutch- | ed in his. hand, causes the writer to remind | The balance | use every means offered them in this free | country to combat Americanism and our | form of government. They take advan- tage of their citizenship in the United | States to rail against our free institutions. tional rights while attacking our constitu- tion. They hit below the belt. They have. no rules save those drawn up by the dicta- tors. Key West has its share of foreign | ‘ propagandists. Arthur Sawyer Post, and | all other posts of the American Legion, would be serying this nation by setting up committees to watch these pernicious in- dividuals and minority groups and to: re- | fute their insidious attacks by sound Am- erican propaganda. Our organized for- mer servicemen must put out the fires set by these false political prophets with a strong solution of unadulterated Amer- icanism. BATTLESHIPS VS. AIRPLANES. Great Britain, it is announced, will in- crease its battleships program to include | nine dreadnaughts. The United States is expected to build not less than eight. ‘Ger- mary, France, Italy and Japan are be- Yieved to contemplate four apiece and Russia has joined the procession by in- dicating a desire to purchase some battle- ships in the United States. At the same time, each of these na- 1 tions is engaged in a stupendous program | of airplane construction. While reports | are somewhat conflicting, it seems to be is in this order: Germany, Great Britain, | Italy, the United States, Japan and France, with Russia’s strength unknown but pos- sibly exceeding in number the air corps of! Italy. Now, what worries us about the pro- | gram is the belief, often reported in past | | | years, that any airplane, with a few | bombs, can sink any battleship. Is it pos- | sible that the big nations are building bat- | tleships merely to serve as. targets for the the citizens of Key West that we don’t see | enlarged air corps? Or, is it true thatthe so many of these umbrellas around town as in. the days of old. So many folks to- experts of every nation realize that sea power depends upon battleships and, for day walk in the rain and shine, bare-| that reason, urge the construction of larger headed, that the umbrella is not. so. pop- | ular.
