It is the privilege of every newspaper to adopt a style and adhere to it, but some- times the style may becomie an obsession. A Miami paper never uses “yesterday” in its stories: it employs the days of the week. A few days ago, in adhering to the style, the paper ran a story that read, “Loss of ap- proximately $8000 was estimated Monday as the result of a fire Sunday . . . ” This, at least, keeps the estiniate, if not the story, timely. HAPPIEST NEW YEAR ors Tener | With this, the last day of the year, your tendency is to become intrespective. | What have been your attainments | | during this year? Are you satisfied with | what you have accomplished? The answer | to the first question is spelled chiefly in i terms of money. Probably you have earned | more this year than during any other year fairly proportionate part of your earnings, | you are not better off than you would Rave ; been when your salary or wages were much | less than what they are now. Money‘earn- ed and spent is of no more avail than-water | that has gone over the dam. Of course, were the money spent judiciously, benefits have accrued from it, but how many of us have spent judiciously during the year 4s | compared with those who have wasted | their earnings? i Besides, in nine cases out of 10, when } aman squanders his money it goes for things | that tend to impair his health. 1 So much for attainments. How about | the satisfaction you sense over what you} have accomplished? You are not satisfied; | nobody is satsified with his accomplish- | ments. That is human nature, and had it | over what we do, we never would have'| come up out of the Stone Age. Man’s ambition spurs him on io strive!’ always to do better than he has already done. of smugness over his accomplishments, that | moment marks a halt to his progress, and from then on he retrogrades, assuming, of course, that he continues to be smug. So onward we go, impelled by dissat- isfaction over what we have done, and | sensing always a desire to do better, striving | always for the best. While we look forward to the New Year, let us hope that before those 365 days to 1944 have been swallowed up in the bot- tomless Past, the United Nations will have and ihe brutal Hun. That, indeed, will be a Happy New Year—the happiest New Year, to millions of us, ‘n the history of our country. COMBINED TO AVOID COMPETITION | Who remembers the furore, -in- 1934,’ wher the federal government cancelled do mestic air mail contracts? | Nine years ago the action taken by Postmaster General Farley was denounced as the “persecution” of business and the de- | spoiling of the air lines. Recently, however, the Court of claims | got to a decision, rejecting claims of the, United Air Lines Transportation Corpora- | tion and two subsidiaries for almost $3,000,- | 000. Mr. Farley was upheld on the ground | that evidence revealed a combination to prevent competitive bids. More amazing is the declaration of Judge J. Warren Madden, describing in | detail conferences in 1930 between air mail operators and Walter F. Brown, then Post- | master General. The jurist said: “Both} Brown and the conferees understood that | the purpose of resorting (to certain proces- i ses) would be to avoid competitive bid- ding.” Again, Judge Madden declared that the “agreement of the conferees” had “no other purpose than to give selected opera- } tors the emoluments of air-mail contracis without giving competitors, who might be willing to do the work for less, the oppor- tunity to bid.” The Citizen calls attention to this mat- ter because it is typical of business practices and ilfustrative of the attitude of the aver- age business man to what all proclaim ihe keystone of private initiative and the “Am- | erican way—free and unhampered compe- | tition in a field unfettered by governmental | regulations. TAKE YOUR CHOICE | The reader can take his choice of the following items: i Constantine Brown, writing, on De-! cember 16, from Washington, says that | “there appears to be little foundation to the | report that the Turks and the Russians have | ironed out all their difficulties.” On the same day, Albert N. Leman, writing from New York: “Phe Turks and | the Russians have worked out and within the next few days will sign a diplomatic ac- | cord which promises Soviet aid in case of an invasion and removes the suspicion that the Kremlin intends to steal the Dardaueltes| after the conflict.” | of your life, but if you have not saved a r not been for that feeling of dissatisfaction | ey crushed into impotency the perfidious Japs iB: | same in my of |.the follo; the aye THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Ue ‘herh ines ~ aviators: a Aen 1] by Kreb "wep trong err GUERRE £0 EXTRAORDINARY AIDE 70.
