If rulers were compelled to depend on | voluntary enlistment there would be no dictators. Compulsory enlistment or con- scription to raise 'arge armies in peace times proves that it is the essence of dic- tatorships. W Renee an individual is ucus in promis- the use of the first personal pro- -loun you can be sure that you are in the presenee of much conceit. Some evade nis coneeit by referring to themselves in the. third person, but the scent is just as offensive.

Recruiting records have been broken week week all the country without any determined effort being made to ac- celerate enlistment. The rate of recruit- ing today for the Army alone is about 20,- 000 a month, and the Navy and the Marine Corps, despite expansion, have long wait- I ts.

ABOUT OUR STREETS! The Citizen started something when it began those series of interviews and ar- ticles on the condition of the streets in Key West. So much so, that the topic is num- ber one on most discussion lists city-wide, to reports relayed to this office. Exz that way’js the cause of civic betterment often advanced in any city. A newspaper Serves to crystalize public sen- timent behind a movement, and in this in- stance, Key Westers are certainly rallying arcund the banner of “Fix Our Streets”. During the course of release of the articles, practically all phases of the sub- ject have been mentioned—all, we find, except one, and that is—how are the streets of the city going to be adequately repaired without funds in the municipali- coffers? There, of course, according ties’ is the crux to the whele problem—and a situation that so very clearly brings home the need for a New Deal in Key West in regard to financ- ing. It’s a pretty safe bet that many of those that now complain about condition of the ei streets fall in the delinquent tax-payers’ classification. But, no matter. All residents have a legitimate right to squawk about the especially when it affects the and, as pointed out yesterday, welfare of the city rd of Public Works, charged with responsibility of keeping the streets in re- pair, will probably have to adopt tem- porary measures, at least for the time be- ing, to remedy the situation. nomi GANDHI AND OUR PACIFISTS Mohandas K. Gandhi recently sug- gested to the British government that it | was a mistake to attempt to meet Hitler | with force, that this would be doing the same as Hitler and lead to greater evil. We have some eminent Americans who are of the same mind as the Indian They would not prepare this country for its defense because, to do so, would require that we give up some of our liberties, or, in other words, use some of the methods of Hitler. There is a vast difference between the exists in which paved the way for Hitler’s absolu- tism, and the voluntry surrender of liberty in order to organize for defense. The peo- ple of democratic countries will not lose their freedom by subjecting themselves to discipline that enables them to withstand | annical attack. The British government, answering Brother Gandhi, declared that non-violent resistance could not be considered because it, in common with the whole Empire, “is tirmly resolved to prosecute the war to a victorious conclusion.” Similarly, the American government, under either party, may well advise paci- fists in this country that the freedom to ac- cept compulsion voluntarily and the will to ield temporary liberty in order to thwart foreign aggression, mean no impairment of the rights of democratie people. FREEDOM HAS ITS PRICE The people of the: United States, in our opinion, are very foolish if they be- lieve that American ideals of freedom and | liberty can be preserved without some con- tribution from us. It may not be the blood of our soldiers and sailors but it must be, at least, the assistance that we can render ther democracies. They need our help to pines the dangers around them and they need tance in caring for their people, the innocent victims of ‘eruel ag- gression. The roll-call of nations that have sat on the sidelines, watching other nations expire, in the belief that the cup might pass them by, includes Poland and Ru- mar who stood idly by while Czech- oslovakia was dismenibered; Norway and Sweden who were neutral while Russia ad- vanced into Finland; Belgium and the Netherlands, who preserved-a scrupulous neutrality until Herr Hitler decided the | time was ripe for plunder. The United States, today, idles on this ; side of the Atlantic, with many people convinced that this nation ean avoid paying | the price that free men must: pay for their liberty. We hesitate to give effective and decisive assistance to nations that stand for the things we stand for and fight for the way of life that we espouse. Like séme of the smaller nations of Europe, we may find out one day, that it does net pay a nation to shrink from the eall of duty or to shirk the responsibilities that accompany Germany, | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN "THE MIRAGE" INDUSTRY To Bund A B4éTtiesuie !
