Loving, Ga., Key West has only oné city plan’ in prospect; Miami has two—always going Key West one’ better.

Old Doc Townsend has now been’ at it for five years and has gotten: nothing for the oldsters; but a swell living for himself - and his entourage.

Noth- ing is. being done to provide the city with such an’ asset—an asset that must be pro- “vided if this city ever expects to be a real winter resort: Visitors who come here want to go bathing. To deny them: that privilege is to deny the city a greater measure of prosperity. If we cannot provide our own beach, why not lease the beach at. Boca Chica?

RUSSIA A COQUETTE The failure of Soviet Russia to accept British proposals for joining the defensive bloc in Europe does not mean that Russia wil? not fight on the side of England and France if Germany and Italy begin the ‘struggle. It is a far ery from the British and French. attitude of last September to the courting of Russia that has been: underway for the ‘last few weeks. It may take the Russians a little while to understand the | change, that has occurred. . in fact, while one does not. know ex- actly why the agreement’ isnot satisfactory to the Russians, it was apparent last Fall that the British were flirting with the idea that, by: giving Germany. a free hand in the East, a war, if one came, would anne: Germany and Russia, -This has not developéd ane iatious ot Germany facing Russia on the battle-field, | the chances are that. the fighting will in- volve England and France before Russia.
