What has become of the people who used to advocate the beautification of every part of Key West? It seems almost unthinkable that mil- lions of men, women and children in Eu- rope should be destroyed to the voracious and unsatiable one single individual. Yet that i today while civilized nations lessly look on the horror. satisfy maw of must help- If kings can’t do wrong, Victor Em- manuel did not tell a falsehood when he proclaimed, “While I am head of the House of Savoy, Italy will not take up arms against France.” Maybe he had his fingers crossed or momentarily forgot the exi ence of one Mussolini. Regardless he has proved he is not little in stature only. There have been rumors tt ferson nickle has been called in by the United States, but the Treasury depart- ment has emphatically denied that such is the case. The coin_is still in circulation and is worth five cents. Of course, if the Jefferson nickles were retired from cir- culation, those in existence would be worth much more and highly prized matics, t the Jef- by numis- Doris Duke Cromwell, the American tcbacco heiress, has offered to take 1,500 refugee children and spend $250,000 .a year for their support. The money she inherited was made in America and Am- erican children just as destitute as those of Europe should be the beneficiaries of her ‘charities, but there is no thrill nor glamour in commonplace charity. If 2 Key West family should adopt an orphaned child for imstance it would cause no stir, but if a child refugee from Europe were brought here taken into ove of our homes the act would be talked about, read about and ex- tolled as an outstanding sacrifice in child welfare. Who are mere deserving of charity, our own starving children or those of other countries? taking place | ! KEY WEST IS ABUILDING! Proof that our city is awakening to a building boom of no small proportiens was provided on the occasion of an inspection trip throughout the island last weekend— a t to various sites on which new struc- tures are abuiiding and a gathering of re- ports on socn- arted residences and apertment build Ample proof is offered too in the ris.

In view of the boom now quite evi- dent, it is highly probable that the short- | age of room for our winter tourists next not be anywhere near as acute | yas feared awhile back. Navy fami- ad been observed, had taken prac- ll of the available homes and 1ents this summer, and, it was gen- reed, that if considerable building wasn’t completed before the end of the hurricane season, there would be a serious building shértage come next winter. Numerous new apartment buildings under construction and a veritable colony of rew homes, both in the city proper and at the head of the island, will go far to- s offsetting the supply of vacant quar- y families. And this all will mean a period of municipal and t vy during the next winter like hausted by na e prosperity on unequalled here during any riod of the last decade. More than that, it should point the for still further development in- vestors gain first-hand information on pos- ibilities here. The Citizen sees with those who look for an era of health, expansion in our city—an expansion that will put on increased speed with the advent of fresh water, a new highway and the strict en- fercement of a zoning law now on the | books of the city. Awaiting those stimulants, and in the meantime, Key West is abuilding. That condition augurs well for the future. as EUROPE FACES FAMINE Europe is faced with a serious food shortage this coming winter, according to E. Harner, an American press corre- spondent, who sees a greatly reduced pro- duction of crops in practically all countries. Aside from the destruction of grow- ing crops in war areas, several other im- portant factors are present to add to the threat of famine. Millions were withdrawn | from farms during the spring for military service, and bad wether and floods ham- pered farm operations in several countries. It is estimated that the European grain crop this Year will be less than two-thirds of ncrmal requirements. Harvests of captured nations are like- ly to be seized in large part by Germany, even if masses of the conquered countries must live miserably or starve. Practically all European nations except France have to import grain even in peace time. now have no money with which to | buy foreign foodstuffs, even if means were available to transport supplies from over- seas. While Hitler will doubtless rob the conquered courtries to supply food for Germany, the desperation of hungry mil- lions in those countries may cause him seri- ous trouble. England can obtain food from her dominions and from the Americans so long as she commands the seas. As in the last World War, food may be a most important factor in deciding the final outcome of the present struggle. TEACHING GERMANS TO HATE Polish prisoners are being used exten- sively in Germany for farm work and the Nazi government takes unusual steps to prevent the development of friendships be- tween the prisoners and those for whom they work. Two.copies of a book, “Death in Po- land,” are being. sent to every community in the district of Quedlinburg, where citi- zens have become too friendly with the prisoners. The book recounts in detail al- leged horrors that Germans suffered in Poland and a reading of the book is ex- pected to inculeate hate against the Polish prisoners. The Schwarze Korps, organ of the Elite Guards, declares that citizens in the area are beginning to treat the Peles as equals, even shaking hands with them. It adds that any one who reads the book will Harold Weight dust covered car, its engine knocking, limped into Twenty Nine Palms, California, with its oc- cupants the victims of a freak auto- mobile accident that nearly ended in disaster.

SIMS, Special Washington Correspondent of The Citizen AGAINST THIRD TERM WILLKIE WELCOMES SUPPORT DEMOCRATS DISCOUNT IT MEETING AT HAVANA HULL OUTLINES PLAN U.S. WILL PAY FOR GAINS Following the nomination of President Roosevelt for a third term, there have been a number of declarations by Democrats in support of Wendell Willkie and the Republican Party on the giound of opposition to a third term. It is too early to gauge accurately the strength of the tendency which, so far at least, seems to be pronounced among the Demcorats who have been fighting the President for years. Whether the movement will spread to include more than the anti-New Deal faction is the in- teresting political question now. Prompt action was taken by Mr. Willkie to take advantage of ihe disaffection among the Dem- ocrats. The Republican nominee named four adversaries of the President as a committee to or- ganize a national independent me nent to support his cam- paign. The organizing quartet includes Lewis W. Douglas, presi- ,dent of the Mutual Life Insur- ance Company and former di- rector of the budget; John W. Hanes, former under-Secretary of the Treasury; Allen Valentine, | president of the University of Ro- chester; and Mrs. Roberta Camp- ibell Lawson, of Tulsa; Okla, president of the General Federa- tioin of Women’s Clubs. Mr. Willkie reports a flood of telegrams and a growing resent- ment within the Democratic par- ty and among independent voters pgainst the third term candidacy. He will leave the details of the independent erganization of anti- New Deal Democrats to the com- mittee, but it may be taken for granted that when he delivers his acceptance speech at Elwood, Indiana, the afternoon af Sat- urday, August 17th, the Repub- lican nominee will ‘make some appeal to the dissatisfied Deme- crats. Democratic leaders profess ne concern over the reaction of the country to the third term nom- imation, declaring thatthe declara- tions against Mr. Reosevelt come from Democrats who have bitter- strike on their part has been an- ticipated. The conference of the foreign ministers of the twenty-one American Republics, which got underway at Havana last week, is generally considered to be the ‘most important in the long his- tory of Pan-Americanism. Natur- ally, the United States, with one-half of the population and a little more than the area, must take the lead and assume the major burden of any political, military or economic de- fenses which may be set up against the totalitarian threats. | Unfortunately, the Latin-Amer- ‘ican Republics realize that they are dealing with an Administra- tion facing a hard political con-« test and will be somewhat re- luctant to enter into hard and fast engagements with a govern- ment which may be defeated in the Fall. Secretary of State Cordell Hull outlined the program of this country to deal with the -prob- lems arising from the European war. He advocated a “collective trusteeship” by the twenty-one Republics over European posses- sions in the New World, strong- ly condemned subversive activi- ties in this hemisphere by Euro- pean countries, recommended “decisive remedial action” and 1.
