Only | the veterans of the last world war realize the awful horrors of war, know the full meaning of peace, experienced the empty fruits of victory. Having gone through one bloody holo- caust and come out sadly disillusioned, the veterans this year are going to emphasize | on Armistice Day the importance of keep- ing this nation neutral in the present European tug-of-war by demanding na- tional defenses that would make any bel- | ligerent hesitate before attacking the United States. All of our citizens will con- eur in this policy, and may very well adopt some of the principles from the preamble of The American Legion. These are: THE KEY WEST CITIZEN YEAH!

That’s about right. No one in Washington concerned himself about our inactive navy yard and submarine basin until war threatened and preparedness became the watchword.

For the benefit of any citizen of Key West who may be tempted to speculate in “war commodities”, this writer would like to point out that some experts now believe that it mey be possible for the British and French to get along without excessive buy- | ing in the United States. Until it is estab- lished that this is not the case, it might be just as well for our speculators to follow the example of the armies—maintaining | themselves in readiness but carefully're- fraining from an overt act. John C. Calhoun said that the very | essence of a free government consists in | considering offices as public trusts, be- | stowed for the good of the country, and | not for the benefit of any individual or any party. Some pubic officials go so far as to use their office to vent personal spleen on | those who did not think it in the public in- terest to support them, and the very fact that these public officials showed them-! selves so contemptible proves the voter’s | 5th, the people of the United States “To maintain law and order. “To foster and perpetuate a 100 Per Cent Americanism. “To inculeate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation, “To combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses. ‘ “To make the right the might. “To promote peace ard good will on earth. “To safeguard and transmit to pos- terity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy.” The enforcement of such principles is important at this time. War's hysteria may grasp this nation by the throat at any time. The promotion of “peace and good will on earth’ was never so important. Seemingly the best way to promote peace and good will, the world being what it is, is to demand peace and good will. The only demand that is worth the paper it is written on is that backed up by foree— the force of public opinion and_ strong defenses, The Armistice Day parade will in- clude units of the army, the navy, the marine corps, the national guard, the coast guard ard the veterans of previous wars. They will march for. the promotion of peace. They will hear the principles of peace annunciated at appropriate monies to be held in Bayview Park. All our citizens should be on hand to salute the national colors and the men sworn to defend them and to lend their support to the principle of peace the Am- erican Legion so clearly sets forth in the preamble to its constitution. master of HIGHWAYS FOR 1960 Some years ago, wher: highway con- struction began on a large scale, there was the general idea that after a period of major construction, the nation would have the highways that it required and that the expense of additional construction would be limited. Experience has shown however, that this is not to be the case. The number of automobiles has increased and the demand | for improved highways is more widespread than‘ever. In fact, Paul V. Huffman, president of the Studebaker Corporation, says that an cutlay of $50,000,000,000 for the construction of highways and _ streets will be necessary by 1960 to acommodate the 40,000,000 motor cars and trucks that will be used at that time. According to our arithmetic, this | means $2,000,000,000 a year for new highway construction. This is quite a sum. those taxpayers whe have the idea that the future will bring them reduced levies.

DARNALL Former Editor of The Citizen Captain Bonney Ridley, 89- year-old North Carolina moun- taineer, admits he is slipping a bit.
