Edward J._Flynn v named as new Democratic Chairman, Frank C. Walker the new Postmaster General. Democratic As a presidential candidate in 1932, Mr. Roosevelt deplored the multiplicity of bureaus and commissions, and pledged himself to reduce both the size and the cost of the Federal structure. When he en- tered the White House on Mareh 4, 1933, he found 563,487 helpers on the Federal staff. Now he has 1,011.066—about a 100 per cent increase. Yet he believes himself indispensable. Unmindful of announcements that marriage would not necessarily exempt them from ccnscr’ tien thousands of young men all ever the United States, but es- pecially in and around the New York area where the foreign population is greatest, are rushing to the license bureaus with their intended mates to be married in the hepe of avoiding the draft. Probably many 2 benedict is taking a mate under these circumstances whom he would not have taker otherwis Inquisitive Uncle Sam in making his selections for his army may dis- regard these marriages of convenience and the young husbands may find themselves “yoked” and drafted to boot. and | recent retirement from public life | | Farley’s shoes were | “TJ, John Doe, a citizen of the United | States, do hereby acknowledge to have | veluntarily enlisted this 10th day of Sep- tember, 1940, as a member of the KEY WEST GUARD to serve only in Monroe County for the duration of the present national emergency, unless sooner dis- charged by preper authority, including specifically a call to aetive service with | the armed forces of the United States. | KEY WEST GUARD | | } | bear true faith and THE KEY WEST CITIZEN He’s Been at it for Seventy Years “And I do solemnly swear that I will Fe allegiance to the, United States of America and that I will | abide by all lawful rules and regulations of | the Key West Guard, being conscious that | | my example will be effective in maintain- | ing civilian morale in Key West. I further ‘ promise to do all in ray power to maintain order in Key West when called upen to do so by competent civilian or military au- thority and to enterfere with life, liberty | and the pursuit of happiness of other in- | dividuals in Key West orly by order such authority.” Thirty more patriotic citizens of this | city signed the above “Oath of Allegiance” j at the second meeting of the Key West | Guard this week, bringing the total mem- | bership up to 91. And that, as all will agree, definitely places Key West on the of | patriotic map of the United States in a big way. When business men of a city will de- | vote several hours each week to such en- deavor as will be pushed by this home- | guardian group, the cause of Democracy, | it seems to us, is not at all in danger of | collapse. Barred otherwise from military | service, these men will augment all s organizations of the nation by caving for | many local problems, thereby releasing the | military for more important jobs. The Citizen doffs its hat to the Key West Guard. May it speedily effect full batallion strength and cause a_ general warning to be issued, thereby, to all sub- versive interests that may have eyes on our city, to stay out! JAPAN BARS FOREIGN CHURCHES Government has de- creed that no foreigner may occupy any executive pcsition in Japanese churches and that the churches may not accept fi- | nancial help from abroad. j As a result of this measure, nearly 700 American missionaries in the Japanese Empire will eventually return to the United States. For eighty years they have served the Japanese people, raising mil- lions of dollars for religious, educational, medical and philanthropic enterprises. | When the American missionaries re- | turn to this country, they will leave behind them in Japan many splendid monuments to Christianity, including hospitals, col- leges, schools, orphanages and settlements. The institutions will be turned over -to Japanese who have been trained to ad- minister them. While there may be many Americans tc criticize the Japanese course, we freely admit the right of the Japanese Govern- | ment to take this action. Im fact, we are | inelined to believe that the authorities at | Tokyo have acted correctly and in the best interests of Japanese and religious in- | terests. There is no reason, so far as we can see, to suspect that the crder means | the death of Christianity in Japan. We do not know how the missionaries affected and the churches concerned will react to the expulsion of foreigners from controlling positions in religious organiza- tions in Japan. It is quite likely that they will make a great fuss about the matter. Naturally, the missionaries will be dis- turbed about discontinuing work upon which they have set their hearts and the churches may denounce the Japanese Gov- ernment as an enemy of religion, but, in view of the fact that the new law will re- , quire all religions, Christian, Buddist and Shintc, to conform to the national struc- ture, there would seem to be no reason to agitate a “holy” war. The Japanes IN TIME OF PEACE There are people in the United States who think that Hitler will attack the United States if he wins his war against Great Britain. | There are other people who do believe this. Nobody knows who is right. Con- sequently, the only thing for the United States to do is to be prepared for either course of action adopted by Herr Hitler. This means arming the nation, train- ing soldiers and making every preparstion for complete defense. To do otherwise | would be extremely foolish. not ‘EW men in American industry can boast the service record of 83- year-old George Metzger, pictured above, who has been working for the same company for 70 years. Metzger, foreman in the blacksmith shop of Henry Disston & Sons, Inc., pioneer Philadelphia saw-makers, started work for that firm when he was 13 years old and has been at it ever since. Recently he was awarded a service pin set with diamonds symbolizing his great record when the Disston company observed the 100th anniversary of its founding. Many other Disston employees boast long records. There are six employees who have worked with the company for 60 years, while 49 have worked for 50 years. In all, more than a quarter of all Disston employees have been with the company for 20 years or more. Another interesting fact is that seven three-generation groups of grandfather, father and grandson are employed in the plant. Employees of the com- pany were singled out for honors at the 100th anniversary ceremonies. U. S. WEATHER — BUREAU REPORT ervation taken at 7:30 a. m., 75th Mer.
