SUBSCRIPTION RATES A Hi rive was progressing satisfactorily. With the thought, however, that there may yet be a few in this city who -have ignored the provisions of the National | Alien-registration Act, headquarters has ' suggested that a review of the facts would ' be appropriate at this time. Key West’s percentage of aliens will run approximately two per cent higher than chat of the nation-at-large, according ; aPRCIAL NOTICE | to latest figures.

Some humans never develop that much horse sense. The Civil war in the United States was | 2 toy compared to the devastating holo- saust sweeping over Europe, yet General | | | Sherman said it was hell. What would he call what is going on over there today! The fruits of militarism have always seen tyranny and reaction in domestic af- | sxirs, wars of conquest, and the cultivation | of an exclusive, dominant military caste. Europe is forcing the United States into | that condition. Our culture had its foundation in | Greece, for that and other reasons the sym- | pathies of this country are for the Greeks | in herpresent struggle. The isles of Greece “where burning Sappho loved and sung” ! al8o faced the same problems—political, economic afd intellectual—that confront | us new. No solution in all those years, in this ever changing world. But before us | pass @ procession of poets, artists, sages, statesmen and soldiers who immortalized ancient Hellas and made the “. . .glory that was Greece.” | Since modern warfare is largely eco- | nomic, we are all to some extent in the service of the government for the duration, | nc matter in what private line of endeavor | we are engaged. As one nationally- known economist who is at the head of. a | financialservice told his readers in a post- | election tetter: “You’re in the Army! now....You_may not wear a uniform or} work a machine gun. But you’re in the Armynow.’’_ If there is ar iness man whotzhas an illusion to the contrary he wi! be sadly awakened when the tax collector com€s around. Rither Hollywood, California, or Mi- ami,;Florida, may be the new home of the Lagéon of Nations fountain, which sprayed fitéWorks, flame and water for the enter- | tainfhent of millions at the New York Wofjd’s Fair. Both of these communities | havé inquired about the possibility of. pur- chaging the structure. Not only Miamians | but Key Westers as well would like to have the Magic City become the site of the famous fountain—it would add im- measurably to the glamour of that city— and<from an advertising point of view | what helps Miami helps Key West. [Effective January 1; 1941, the. meat of Gogs is legalized for human con8imp- | tion-by Germany. So the Reich is literally | goittg to the dogs! Dr. Robert S. Harris, } Massachusetts Institute of Technology nutritional biochemist, commenting on Germany’s legalization of dog meat for human consumption, said canine meat has a fdbd value “quite the same as beef, but is very tough, gamey and hasn’t a very delicate flavor.” Evidently England's bloekade is effective when Germany is compelled to add to the shortage of her | | mediately in the case of any | us for any a change, on a form available at any post office. Postmasters should be notified im- bedridden alien so that he may take the necessary steps to register him at his place of con- finement. Confusion between registration for Selective Service and Alien Registration should be cleared up. All male aliens 21 to 36 were required to register for the draft, but this did not in any way relieve them of the necessity of registering as an alien. Service by an alien in the World War did not of itself win him citizenship, and | unless citizenship was achieved he must : still register as an alien. There are no fees of any kind con- nected with registration. Aliens should beware of racketeérs who promise to “fix things’’. The Pust Office Department and the Department of Justice are ready to answer any individual questions about registra- tioa. The alien may feel free to call on tance we can render. THE MEANING OF “30” While the symbol “30” has been used | for perhaps three-quariers of a century to | indicate “the end” by telegraphers and printers, its significance has been unknown to the public generally. Since the well-known radio news com- mentatcr, Paul Sullivan, has been using the | phrase “Good night—and 30". to end his nightly broadcast, many inquiries have been made by listeners meaning. Just why the symbol “30” was chosen for the purpose is not yet known, but it has been employed since the early days of tele- | graphy by operators to indicate that their transmission of messages was finished. Later on it was adopted by newspaper men to inform the printers that there would be no more copy for the day, or night. By extension, the term has been used to indicate death, and in publishers’ and printers’ trade journals it is often used as a heading for obituary notices. A‘so such phrases as “answered the call of 30” or “30 came to,” applied to a person, simply means that he died. WHENCE COMETH UNITY? The appeal for national unity, follow- ing the election, is a plea to the defeated groups, in every State, as well as in the | nation at large, to accept the verdict of the ballot box. There is need for Americans to for- get the bitter words and the animosities stirred in election wrangles: We must realize that men, in the effort to win elec- tions, often exercise a peculiar license in : viewing with alarm and pointing with pride. Naturally, the victors are satisfied with the results. They are the winners, anxious for cooperation and unity. It will be necessary for the losers to practice patriotism in defeat in order that the concerning the ! INVESTIGATING THE SPIES DIES COMMITTEE ACTIVE |CONGRESS CONTINUES WATCHING PRICES Early next summer, the battle- ship North Carolina, first of sev- enteen dreadnaughts now build- ing or contracted for by the Navy. Both battleships will be compieted several months ahead of schedule on account of the speed-up program in thé Navy Yards where they are being con- structed. It is also reported that the battleship Soutn Dakota, Indi- ana, Masschusetts and Alabama, sister ships of the North Caroli- na and Washington, will be launched late in 1941 or early in 1942. Each of these ships will be 35,000-ton displacement, have {nine 16-inch guns, three to a tur- ret, and be able to fire a broad- side of 20,000 pounds for twenty miles. They will have the latest word in anti-aircraft equipment, pro- tection from enemy torpedoes, fire control and manoevure abil- ity. Just the same, they will not compare with the 45,000-ton bat- tleship which will follow them into the water. We have not been able to check |up on assertions that when the North Carolina and Washington join the Fleet, they will make | the United States the greatest ‘battle line in the world. When the European War started; the | European and American navies were on an approximate parity. The British started battleship qonstruction befpre fhe United States, but they still maitain ‘silence about five new 35,000- ton battléships, laid down in |1937 and launched last year. It has been reported that the new ships have joined the British Fleet. | If this is true, the British have | nineteen batleships in serviee to our fifteen. and it will be seen | that the acquisition of two new ships will not give up a superior- ity over Great Britain. There has been considerable discussion as to the vulnerability |of the battleship to te dirplatie is taken to indicate that the dif- ficulties existing between the United States and Mexico have been sm ed out and that Mexico may follow the lead of Canada by signing a joint agree- jment with the United States in connection with defense. | Reports that an agreement has ‘been reached in principle, includ- ing the improvement of eight Mexican ports, five to have air- base facilities, have not been confirmed but such a develop- ment would) be no great sur- | prise. | In view of present world con- ditions and the uncertainties in ,connection with the future, it is considered important to effect friendly relations with the na- tions of this hemisphere, es- jpecially those between the United States and the Panama Genal. | The House Committee investi- gating Un-American Activities, commonly referred to as the Dies Committee, is vigorously seeking to disclose the activity of Ger- many, Italian and Japanese agents in this country. Incidentally, the part that Russia plays in this work is not being overlooked. It-is safe to sav that Congress will appropriate any reasonable amount to enable the Dies Com- mittee to continue its investiga- tions. Already, Secretary of State Hull has said that the State De- ;partment has no objections to Public hearings in connection with the “propaganda of German consuls and agents”. It will be interesting to await the full disclosure of the Com- Mittee which has been at work |for some years. Naturally, in every country there is some sub- versive activity. An investiga- tion like that being conducted by the House committee is certain ‘to put a damper upon the meth- | ods of foreign agents. Frankly, we have no idea what | jeviderice the committee has to, | Prove concerted action between | the agents of totalitarian powers. It is reasonable to presume, how- | éver, if view of present world! |conditions, that some co-operation \uridoubtedly exists between the | | agents of the totalitarian nations.

Today’s Horoscope Today gives a patient, content- ed, happy, arid self-possessed na- ture. The life may be unevent- ful but probably happy in the domestic ties, even though the life may be devoted to an unam- bitious calling or a reward long deferred. It is far from a use- less life, though it may be a simple one, or perhaps not given its due meed till too late.

There is little fear, it seems, in the money situation, but the demand, created bv defense contracts, may produce some scarcity in certain lines, resulting in higher prices. While no hard and fast rule can be laid down, economists seem to believe that precipitate price increases “should avoided; _ if possible. . “Fiere | are various. methods by which the Govern- ment coujd ex e some influ- erice upon “the “prite stracture, but. for the present at least, nothing is contemplated.
