One thing is definite in the nomina- tion for the presidency of Wendell L. Will- kie by the Republican party, it had the foresight, the courage and the wisdom to name its best man. A propagandist mixes a little truth with his lying to throw you off your guard. Tropaganda is a fine art and its technique is very effective; so subtle that it is often not perceived until it is too late and the damage done. are characteristics of this malady that has baffled the medical world for effeetive t millions of dollars annually in trips to what THE KEY WEST CITIZEN PLOPIIC cures and has caused the victims to spend | few sections that are known to be free; from pollen. Key West is one of those spots, it has been proven, but it is one spot that hasn’t | been widely advertised as such. Hence, | very few victims of hay fever have sought | out the alleviating atmosphere that has no ragweed pollen mixed up in it here. And, ncw that we’re on the subject, it seems quite apparent that the theme of this edi- | torial from this point on is a development ef reasons why a campaign should be start- | ed to spread the good news about no hay , | fever to the nation-at-large. Even as the fame of Key West has gone forth all over the land as an up-and- | coming winter resort situated at the end | of one of the engineering marvels of the | age—even so could the same plan of pub- licity concerning our no hay fever status be broadcast nation-wide. And there, as many have pointed out, is one solution to the lack of summer business in our re- sort city. Hay fever strikes from August 15th on for another six weeks. Co-operation with the Chamber of Commerce in a definite campaign to ac- quaint the nation with our sea breezes con- taining no ragweed pollen seems advis- able. The Chamber should inaugurate the plan—The Citizen feels sure others who would benefit will fall in line. WHAT SHOULD THE U. S. DO? The unrest and warfare which besets the world create problems for the people who live in countries which have not, as yet, become involved in the conflict. The people of the United States, for example, are still somewhat perplexed as to the right course for this nation to fol- low. Scme of them believe, undoubtedly sincerely, that by keeping aloof from the present difficulties, the American Resublic wil! keep the light of democracy ablaze and be better able to serve the world which will exist after peace arrives. Oth- ers, equally sincere, insist that it is the duty of this country to rush assistance to the New venture in retailing foods in cit- ies is being tried out in Ardmore, Pa., sub- urb of Philadelphia. Refrigerated ttmeks going through residential streets aret livering frozen foods direct to kitcherts! They carry a stock of meats, vegetables and fruits, all frozen thereby insuring ab-. solute freshness. So far ten trucks aré-bé- ing kept busy in this one community and twenty-three more have been ordered, all especially-built, with dry ice used as the ; refrigerant.—Capper’s Weekly. The old| hucksters will soon have to make way for this modern innovation. Wagon Lit car, Voiture No. 2419-D, which corresponds to our Pullman sleeper and dining car, has been again the scene of in historical event. Twenty-two years ago the representatives of beaten Germany as- democracies in the battle against the dic- tators. From the standpoint of national safe- ty, it may be somewhat difficult to de- “termine exactly which course is the wiser. “}%o stand aside while the other nations of the world fight for the supremacy of their way of life in the hope that, whatever hap- yPensywe'gan play a part.in the world, is to sible enemies, the United States will assert the rights that it now declines to assert un- der more favorable conditions. It is given to the peoples of the re- public to determine the course of their na- tion. It is incumbent upon the citizens of the United States topass judgment upon the conflict now underway in order to de- termine whether vital interests which af- stake. If our analysis of the situation leads us to conelude that eternal principles sembled in this railroad dining car in the | of right are being determined by the ar- forest of Compiegne, France, to receive the Allies’ peace terms. A few days ago the representatives of defeated Franee assem- bled in the same car in the same place to reeeive Hitler’s peace terms. This ear was sa Paris museum and will now be remov- to Berlin, where it is to serve as an ap- peasement to the German people who felt that the peace conditions of the Allies at the close of the World War I was the “deepest shame of all time”. In the time to come, undoubtedly, the French people will do their utmost to get back this his- torical trophy, even if it takes another seore of years. An act of just retribution to the ideology of peace would be if France and Germany met on neutral ground and. de-j bitrament of the sword, then there can be little hesitation on the part of this. country in taking its stand. In dispatching ‘aid 'to the Allies in-the form of equipment ard supplies, the Unit- ed States undoubtedly takes a step cleser to the war. This might as well be admit- ted. Let us hope that the measure of.our for the use of soldiers to defend this coun- , try, the Western Hemisphere, or our rights as a nation anywhere in the world. The chance that there may be a de- mand for soldiers to take the field in the defense of the United States is a-risk that every nation must*take in its life and ene which cannot be avoided by shrinking frem stroyed this trophy of hate.
