Key West drops into her customary calm ac- ceptance of things as they are. the use, it is asked? Well, as The Citizen sizes up the situa- | tion, Key West is more important than any one individual or any one group of What helps one community. What hurts one trying to do something for the city’s good, hurts all the individuals in one way or another. The man with a good idea, a constructive community plan of better- ment, should be encouraged and assisted. He should not be opposed just because we may not like the cut of his jib or his neck- tie or his wife or the fact he wasn’t born here.

The sixth chapter of the little !book called Micah, presents the Picture of Jehovah himself chal- jlenging the sinful israelites to '“testify against me”. There was none to make accusation, where- jupen hsitorieal events of the jpast were cited to prove God’s devotion and eare for Israel. The impressed people then in- ‘quire of the prophet as to the |method by which their thankful- |ness might be shown, asking ir jterms of offerings and ritualistic (observances, even as extreme as the sacrifice of their own chil- |dren. ‘How far had they missed the spirit of God’s kingdom. | Micah’s answer is clear and leasily understandable. He disre- |gards all petty ceremonies and joutward symbols of religion and jdeclares that all God seeks from \his followers are lives in accord- j;ance with justice, mercy and the {fundamental spirit of goodness. | David, in years gone by, realiz~ jed that “the sacrifices of God are ja broken spirit” and that a con- itrite or repenant heart meant. ;more to God and a sinner than |thousands of inoffensive beasts ‘sacrificed. So, Jesus, replying to 'a question as to the proper place |to worship sought to drive home the same great ideal, that “true |worshippers shall worship the | Father in spirit and in truth”. | Do we need to recognize these {messages today? Is religion in our ‘own time too often confused with material resources, expressed not jin cattle offered on altars but in |mere numbers, dollars contri- buted, records made, buildings | possessed, and the like? Are men |and women inclined to put their faith in place in the church insti- tutions, outward conformance to jits ‘superficial requirements, at- |tendance upon its public cere- monies, and other ritualistic de- | pendencies?

Key West will be whatever Key West- ers want it to be. The answer is up to us. Read a book, on a serious subject, this Week and see if you still believe you know it all. A statesman does things for his coun- try; a politician wants his country to do things for him. Almost any young woman in Key West can name a nice young man who is fot really appreciated. The millions of money now lying idle in the banks of the country are doing the eountry no good. Anything idle is worth nothing, money included. Advertising is as necessary to a suc- cessful business as the ability to buy the right thing at the right price. Asked the condition of business, | most folks in the East reply “Fair”. That’s the reason why it isn’t good. We read that “well-timed silence is more eloquent than words.” And we may add that most silence is well-timed. In future Japanese sentries will slap Germans and Russians rather than honor- able British and Americans. The shoe is | now on the other foot. The Citizen has always been a sup- porter of the Dies committee investigating the “isms” that are un-American. Par- ticularly since it was evidently hampered | and even ridiculed by powerful interests in | Washington, and this newspaper still be- lieves that the Dies committee is a val- uable instrument of the Government in} bringing to light the activities of com-| munists and Nazis who are trying to.under- | mine the democratic foundations of this | | of defense.

The situation is more serious than | most of us realize, and one of the first jobs { is to smash the German-American Bund | and kick out its leader, Fritz Kuhn, even | at the cost of being aecused of dictatorial methods and suppression of freedom, i partially, construction of«recreation and beach facilities, a community center, a yacht basin, a street improvement pro- gram, completion of the intracoastal canal, extension of child welfare activities, mos- quito control and many, projects. Stick together or hang together on the tragic arm of community inertia, stag- nation and death. Cooperation or die. Key West needs recruits to fill up the thin- ning ranks of that little army fighting for the community good. We need that united front. NO WAR THREAT The people of the United States | naturally wonder what chance there may | be that this ; country will become em- broiled in the War now going on in Europe. Our own opinion is that there is not much chance. We do not believe the United States will get into any European war unless and | until it appears certain that Great Britain | and France will be defeated. This is not indicated in the struggle now going on with Germany. \ It may be that German U-boats will | ereate incidents that will involve the loss of American lives and American ships. It will be entirely a matter for the govern- ment here to decide whether these in- cidents justify the use of armed force by this country. army to Europe. Frankly, the people of the United States might as well recognize the fact that Britain and France are our first line This does not mean that we must, under all circumstances, defend them. It is only when they are attacked by governments like that of Hitler-domi- nated Germany that our interests require that the two great democracies be uncon- quered. In considering a future world -policy for the United States we think it might be a good idea to construct a navy and pre- pare an army entirely adequate for what- ever we adopt as a national policy. many other | Of course, if other nations | | come into the fighting the situation will be | different.
