The average person knows what the first numerals stand for and newspaper men are familiar with that lat- ter. In either case it is a bad omen for the gobbler. Rumor is going the rounds that cer- tain radical and Communistic groups in and out of the government service are waging a vigorous fight to eliminate all advertising from magazines and news- papers, obviously to weaken the press and strengthen their propaganda of subver- sion. Germany and Russia, the Fascist and Communistic pack, have signed a non-ag- gression pact. Those who have read the agreement between the two nations care- fully may have noticed that it does not con- tain the usual escape clause providing for its denunciation in case one of the con- tracting parties should attack a third power. It may not be amiss for the President to eall a halt on party politics, if it doesn’t develop in the New Deal having a free rein that may eventually plunge us into war. We must be doubly vigilant against any Administration attempts to use the Euro- pean war as a smoke screen behind which te work divers schemes to force the issue and evolvement to our own undoing. “When we assumed the soldier we did not lay aside the citizen,” are words it is well to remember now, ENTERTAINMENT FOR VISITORS One of the most frequently heard criticisms of Key West is that there is | nothing here for visitors “to do”. By that | is meant that after visitors get here, make | a swift tour of the points of interest and take a quick look at the city, they are un- ; able to find suitable recreation. It is claimed by these critics that the majority of our visitors crave action. follow Miami’s example and cater to the race track and gambling fraternity and make this a real hot spot.

Make the city an interesting place, a mildly exciting place. Make it different. Emphasize hospitality, quiet conviviality and peaceful appreciation of this free sunshine and balmy air. FRENCH ARMY UNLIMBERS News from the French army indicates that the offensive against Germany’s Sieg- fried line is developing slowly, according to plan. It will take several weeks, lieve, to determine whether the French move against Germany is making such progress as to constitute a real threat to | Germany. The fortified zone that the Germans have erected on their western frontier is not to be marched through in parade formations. Many lives will be lost before it will be possible for the French to invade German soil behind the Siegfried forts. Of course, Germany depends upon the fortified zone to safeguard her territory from serious invasion. Fighting defensive- ly against the French, the Germans expect to construct new fortified areas when | necessary. It is questionable whether the i French army will be able to make ad- | vances with sufficient rapidity to prevent | the Germans from following the strategy outlined by their leaders. | | | | Judges and lawyers, all over the | United States, might pay some attention to | the statement of Charles A. Beardsley, ] president of the American Bar Association, the conservative representative of the bench and bar. Mr. Beardsley said the most pressing | task facing lawyers and judges today is to | halt the breeding of “termites” in the | temple of justice. “The American people | never were in greater need of an_ intel! | gent, well-trained, independent and fear- | Jess bench and bar.” | Most of the shortcomings in the ad- | ministration of justice, the speaker as- | serted, were the shortcomings of the law- | yers and judges. He suggested that it is | the job of the lawyers to protect the rights | of free people. There are any number of people who | will agree with the statements made by the — of the American Bar Associa- j tion.
