TRAGEDY TOO VAST TO UNDERSTAND | Words are inadequate to suggest the | horrors of warfare or the suffering of | human beings in the struggle. The human mind finds it difficult to realize that-mil- lions of men are involved in a death grapple, that the ingenunity of civilized to promote and children pain that peoples is now being . used Somehow, we seem not to comprehend that battles are fought by human _ beings, bloody corpses and blasted bodies of husbands, sons and sweet- In the welter of human suffering what difference does it make if the individual is a misguided German youth, a veteran of France, or a defender of Polish soil? Man- kind is once again at grips with death, loosening emotions that blind the intellect | and sear the soul.

Consolidaticn of County and City Governments. No blackout for Key West; let’s keep our chins up! Typewriters are deadly missiles in the hands of propagandists. Daniel was the first man to be lion- ized without letting it go to his head. Since the Russo-German accord, fascists everywhere are red in the-face. The Polish people apparently anenit't got the polish to polish off the invaders. Even high officials sometimes have difficulties in finding government jobs for | all their relatives. Now is the time for all.good men to come to the aid of their country and nip the thought in the bud that America can- net keep out of a European war. * For the duration of the war at least, | all the American money that has gone to Europe for travel in the past will remain at home where it will do the most good. Now is an opportune time to “See America | First,” and Key West should be included in the seeing. “Travel is a fool’s paradise,” wrote | Emerson. The philosopher probably was | right in his time; but not in the day of the ditomobile’s fine roads, quick air trans- | portation, the radio, hotel accommodations, 4nd food often better than at home. The discomforts and inconveniences of the past are a thing of the past. Foree must be met with force; ap-| peasement cannot subdue it. Had Eng- | Jand called Mussolini’s hand by -applying the proper sanctions at the start of the | Ethiopian war, Italy could not have, ravaged that country. To.verify, this state- ment ‘General de Bono’s, book on the} Ethiopian war contained a quotation from Mussolini to the-effect that if Britain had | cut off her oil supply in 1935, Italy would Have been unable to carry on the con-| quest of Ethiopia. | Had Chamberlain | shown the iron fist instead of the gloved | hand at Munich, Czechoslovakia would ;not | have lost her freedom, and the Polish is- sue would not have developed into the present war. “If” is a small word, often of ‘large consequences. and | shooting guns tell us of the inability of men | tims of their own | and follies, | with them in a fight for honor, truth and | cado growers: | operate both in marketing, grading and packing what his regardless of what army village, what general strategy? The answer to these questions em- zes the futility of warfare and the captures or displays to solve the problems of their world. Old hates, bitter enmities, present suspicions | and future fears combine to make beasts | of men. The elernenital rages take posses- sion of human beings, who become the vic- prejudices, ignorance Until human beings become more in- telligent, until they become more spirit- | ually-mirded, there is little prospect of peace upon the earth. The days of so- called peace will be but the preliminary period in which to prepare for new wars. In time, new “vital” issues will present7 new crises and the youth of the world will be led to the slaughter-house again. There is nothing to be gained by | name-calling, by emotional denunciation | of others, by flag-waving and breast-beat- | ing. Soldiers across the water are being killed; women and children are being blasted in their sleep; untold human _ be- | ings are foretasting the misery of months | to come. Human intelligence has failed to con- trol the emotions of men; human frailties have lured new victims to death and the earth and its people will suffer. | Men and women on both sides accept | their fate bravely. They play their parts with some degree of nobility, with a prayer | on their lips to the God they worship and the conviction in their hearts that He is justice! ADVICE TO FRUIT MEN (The Miami Herald) A vigorous self-examination is helpful at all | times to a business as well as an individual. The | lime and avocado growers of South Florida should not take amiss the advice of Carl Piowaty, man- ager of the Florida Avocado and Lime Growers Exchange, to give the industry a good house- cleaning as a starting point in any campaign to- ward wider markets. The fruit industry of Florida has from, internal troubles which have impeded and harassed every plan to expand markets and ef- fect adequate and timely distribution of products. It has been dinned time and again into fruit men’s ears what Piowaty told the lime and avo- “Growers and shippers must co- suffered of fruit. Bad fruit has been the downfall of the industry, marketing of inferior fruit and lack of juice content has made the housewife cease buy- ing the commodity.” But the lesson has yet to be learned. A campaign of education by the fruit men aimed primarily at “educating” the public at | home and abroad to use Florida fruits should also have a preparatory course for the industry itself in which those concerned would learn some very fundamental truths about themselves and making their business successful. It has been suggested that we might | have hot dogs for the new Thanksgiving | Day and turkey on the regular date. At the outbreak of the last great war the predictions freely made throughout the world at that time were that the war | could only last a short while, but it de-| veloped into a long war. This time gen- | eral prophecies are that the war will last a long time. Since the prophets are gen- erally wrong, it may be concluded that the -present war will be brief.
