A reporter of The Citizen has been akiog some comparisons between prevail- ing Miami grocery prices and those of Key Weut, and finds them variable, some higher here and some lower there. In the cases where the prices are higher in Key West, the customer blames the grocer, the grocer Siames the wholesaler and the wholesaler blames the transportation companies.

MAY REVISE ARMY PLAN | There are some indications that the | United States will soon have to modify its | defense plans if this country is to supply | the necessary arms and equipment to the | nations now engaged in the war against | Nazi Germany. creation of an Army of around two million mendous amount of equipment, supplies | and materia] to properly equip such a force. | This means that a vast amount of war ma- | terial must be withheld from the | which are engaged in actual warfare. Facing the new situation, brought about by the attack upon Russia, the United | States must now consider the possibility of | curtailing its contemplated Army in order | to speed delivery of tanks, planes, guns and | equipment to Great Britain and Russia. | Obviously, the fact that Russia is now fight- | ing Hitler reduces the Hkelihood that this ' country will need, in the immediate future, an Army of two million men. Inasmuch as the United States has lit- tle idea, at this time, of sending any huge | army against Germany, it is wise to consider the possibility that the increased flow of munitions may serve the defense of this country better than the creation of a large army. By sending to Great Britain and Rus- sia the equipment an army of one million men would use, it might be possible to obviate the necessity of using American soldiers at all. This would be to our ad- vantage, of course. HONORS TREATY FOR 147 YEARS On November 11, 1794, during the second administration of George Washing- ton, the United States made a treaty with Six Nations of the Iroquois, in western New York State. Under this treaty the Indians, in con- sideration for their peace and friendship, were to receive annually “clothing, domes- } tie animals, implements of husbandry” in | the amount of $4,500. This year each member of the six na- tions will be given a few yards of calico, as the United States keeps faith with the treaty of George Washington’s administration for the 147th consecutive year. ae At a time when treaty-breaking is in vogue, it is refreshing te realize that the | United States does not consider a treaty as | a mere “scrap of paper.” | During the summer, the committee | ' has functioned quietly, but has had little | | another two months merchants here prob- | Our original plans contemplated the | SS | men.
