When the German Consul. in Manila asked Commissioner Sayre to ban the motion picture “Nurse Edith Cavell,” citing the fact that the Netherlands had done so, Mr. Sayre refused, say- ing: “Holland happens to be looking dowm the barrel of a German gun, but the Philippines are not.” The A.

EVERGLADES PARK—NOW (Tampa Tribune) It seems to us that Governor Cone of has his nerve with him to expect the votes south Florida after what he had done to d the Everglades National park project. «He »has held up legislative appropriations for, the specifiq purpose of bringing the projéct to thé point where the federal government will‘fake'it ‘over, and he has never, so far as we can, rovalk intimated) at any time ‘that he was evencsympashetic (toyadie idea. ¥ Now he is running for senator, and repeating the old line about being a senator “for all Flor- ida.” South Florida, however, may feel that the proof of the pudding is in the eating. It may not be too late yet for the governor to do something about it, and perhaps gain himself needed south Florida votes. The Tampa Times suggests, and we agree, that he should make up for lost time by energetically pushing the park in the months that remain to him. The federal “overnment is already impatient at the delay; the people of Florida have a similar attitude; so what j Eas he got to lose? as struck. by. a disastrous tor- nado a few days ago after a fea- ture article about its efficient fire fighters appeared in the At-' lanta Journal. | Marriner. s.
