Like doves after the guns begin to fire in the open season for such game, Monroe candidates are cagy, for they are familiar with all the rackets, good and bad. In some cases they hand over the money to the racketeers on the theory that is the best way to keep from being called “cheap skates”. Others risk the ire of the racketeers and rightly tell them to jump in the ocean. But the majority spend a large part of the campaign dodging the medicine bettle boys. They go into hiding, and stay as far away from county courthouse as they can get as long as they can. | hard life! The Citizen believes the candidates should organize for their own protection.

ASSIST JAPAN? Admiral Yarnell, who commanded the U. S. Asiatic fleet up to a few weeks ago, in China would fail if we withheld all war ma- terials from the Japanese. | Notwithstanding the fact that Japan is violating a treaty to which this nation is | a party, guaranteeing the territorial in- | tegrity of China, and that Japanese policy in China is in flagrant disregard of Amer- ican rights in China, the United States continues to permit Japan to secure scrap iron and oil in this country. j Notwithstanding our abhorrence of the bombing of civilians by military planes, which has featured Japanese war- fare in China, and our reiterated denuncia- tion of aggression, the United States does nothing more than utter declarations af- firming our unwillingness to recognize ter- | ritorial gains by force. The overwhelming sympathy of the people of this country is with the;Chinése in the war going on in \the Far East. We should not base our foreign ‘policy upon sympathy but the course of Japanese ag- gression imperils our right to trade in Asia. While these rights may not be worth a war the position of Japan gives us an economic weapon of power that | would probably be decisive. Why is the weapon unused? That is a question which we are unable to an- swer. which, in the opinion of responsible offi- cials, dictate the present polity in the Far East. eer er Here Just Five, Ten ' It’s a} {has arrived. in Key West to teach There may be long-range interests | South |Key West to attend the patriotic ; of the Art Appreciation Group, \held last Thursday evening, was ‘an enjoyable and instructive af- ‘fair. he lecture, “Our Govern- ment In Art”, by Edward B.
