Consolidation of County and City Governments. Key West is different and that quality should be made known to the world. ~ The ancient order of freebooters had little ton the Germany-Italy-Japan al- liance? g Dictators are ominously silent at the moment. Is that the calm before the storm? It is said that religion has no more the hold on people it once had; neverthe- less, an increase of 1,743 church edifices for the past year is reported. The totalitarian states take turns in twisting the British lion’s tail. First it was Mussvlini with Ethiopia, then Hitler with Munich, and now Japan is making ready with Tien-Tsin. “Adults are people who forget that they have been children”.—L. P. Artman in The Key West Citizen. A world of sad philosophy in those words—for the adglts, and such children as they contact, day by day—Times-Union. It seems incongruous, - but Rosita Royce, the dove dancer at the world’s fair, does her naughty nuances nightly to the melancholy strains of “In A Monastery Garden”. After all, the sensuous dance is sad to unrequited emotion. There is an old superstition, both on land and sea, that accidents run in threes. Whenever there is a fire, two others are soon to follow and often do. The supersti- tion was recalled when the French subma- rine Phenix submerged during exercises and failed to reappear. On May 23, the American submarine Squalus was lost; on June 1, the British submarine Thetis sank. Thus, three democracies have lost three submarines almost within three weeks. This column has stated several times that international amateur sporting events do not-make for amity. In the recent mile race at Princeton, New Jersey, Sydney Wonderson, the British champion, came in last in-a field: of five and claimed his loss was due to interference by one of the run- ners. - At qnce, the English newspapers shouted “fou)”, with bitter aspersions en American sporting spirit, further charging that the Americans had “ganged up” on the English, - ENDURANCE CONTEST IN FAR ‘EAST The fighting’ in China continues with little indication that the conflict is any- where near an end. 1 the determined resistance of the Chinese. steadily encroach upon the theoretical sive control of the occupied areas. In Tok- yo, the Minister of War admits that the bulk of Japan’s army, even during peace Manchukuo instead of in Japan as hereto- fore. Back of this statement is the fear, based or: the behavior of the Manchukuan army, that the army in China, if returned The army in Manchukuo, as is well known, contrary to Tokyo policy. Apparently the army in China is inclined to do the same. The new pelicy on the part of Japan may be taken as an admission that the failed of its purpose. Chinese resistance, eupied sections are the scenes of intense endurance phase, with the outcome de- pending upon whether the Chinese will to Japan. - While not expecting armed assistance from other powers, Chinese leaders con- tinue to hope that the international situa- war, with Japan on one side, would auto- matically make China the ally of the other. In the absence of a general war, however, the Chinese believe that other powers may eyentually..apply effective pressure. upon Japan. Failing to'receive this help, the ‘Chi- nese are slowly and laboriously creating a new, China in the unoccupied regions. Des- pite) repeated: hambjngs: that, blast. cities and destroy many Chinese lives; the gov- ernment continties to plan prolonged re- sistance. ‘ A glance at the map of China reveals that the Japamese, while controlling . the entire coastline, have “occupied” about one fourth of China. Something like 500,- 000 Japanese are. in garrisoned areas and a similar force stands guard on the Man- chukuan-Siberian border. While Chinese losses in battle have greatly exceeded those | of Japan, it is estimated that between 150,- 000 to 200,000 Japanese have been killed since the beginning of the war and that 400,000 have been withdrawn from service because of wounds, The sympathy of the people of the) United States is almost unanimously with | the Chinese. Officially, the Government maintaing'a policy of neutrality which has proved helpful toSapan. Great Britain and France, with immenséyjnterests in the Far East, have followed a similar course. ‘The neutrality of these three powers, couple with the failure of, Russia to Intervene, contributed largely to the continuance’ oF? Japanese aggression. The chances are that other nations will continue their present policy until there is a decided change in world conditions. ae TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS DECLINE More than thirty-two thousand _ per- sons lost their lives in motor vehicle ac- | cidents during 1938. In addition there were more than a million persons who suffered non-fatal injuries, Altogether. the dollar damage from traffic accidents approxi- mated one and a half billion dollars. In calling attention to these figures the National Safety Council points out that traffic accidents declined during 1938. If they had continued at the rate of former years another seven thousand persons would have been killed during the year, This decline in traffie accidents in 1938 is contrary to previous experience. For over thirty years, with one exception, there has been an annual inerease in traf- fic deaths, which offset the d in deaths from occupational, home ajd-other public accidents in the past... The future looks ! teen per cent reduction in traffie fatalities makes one realize that attempts to prevent traffic deaths are not in vain.
