HITLER COULDN'T DO BETTER An incident is taking place in Puerto Rico which should be brought to the atten- tion of every American citizen. As an island territory of the United States, it is being used as a guinea pig for social experiments at the hands of socialist politicians working under cover of emergency granted by the people of this country to their government for the efficient prosecu- tion of the war. should make a fair minded observer see red. The war is being fought to preserve and reestablish the principles of represen- tative government and_ individual rights. But the same officials who pay lip service to these war aims have proceeded to ape | Hitler in Puerto Rico, As the New York Times recently pointed out, at the instance of Ameriéan government officials the Leg- islature of Puerto Rico in the last two ses sions has?“(1) provided for governmen ownership of more than half the island's sugar lands; (2) turned all of the sugar mills into public utilities, subject to regu- lations of the Public Service Commission; (3) authorized the government to purchase } and operate all forms of communication; (4) provided for government ownership of all means of transportation; (5) created # government bank in’ which all insular revenues may be deposited; and (6) author- ized the formation of a development com- | through which the government may engage in any form of private business,” People of Puerto Rico have futilely op- posed the destruction of private ownership. American courts have condemned it, point- ing out that the emergency powers of goy- | ernment were never intended for such ap- plication. But the process, continues. Puerto Rico is fast becoming a saciahized state un- der the jurisdiction of thé United States. What irony! Is this a preview of “the brave new world” we may expect to see in expand- ed furm in this country and other countries | which this nation is erate? now helping to lib- ee Pay-as-you-go, or not, your income tax | return, with March 15. remittance, must go forward Advertising may have to be limited ‘itled to use | also the war powers | It is an abuse of power that | i TIME TO FATTEN POCKETBOOKS Now that the harvest is on, it would bé well for those Key Westers, who have for- ' gotten entinely the depressing thoughts hard times engender, and can not, (here- | fore, visualize the future, based on past | performances, to visit the upper Florida i Keys 2nd note the business conditiens there.

It is easy to find: Tavernier has no defense | projects to employ its | thousands of | earned there in peacetime have been cut | down to a dribble by the exigencies of war. Conditions are slightly better at Mara- thon, but that village, too, has had its peace- time activity slowed up so much by the war business has been strapped down practical- | ly to the essentials of living. Only Key West, in all of Monroe coun- | ty, thrives.as it.has never thrived before. | Money, because of high wages, is plentiful. | Everybody ‘is earning if he wishes to earn. | There 2re-a few loafers in the community, but they are being rooted out. And what is happening to thousands of men and women, too, in Key West, who | are now.earning more than they have ever | earned before? What percentage of them | is systematically saving money? It is very small, judging from the stories The Citizen has heard. Fix your price on practically anything, and you wi'l imme- diately find a Key Wester to buy it. Gone is that careful bargaining, gone is that in- sistance to get value received for the money spent. i The prices charged are of no conse- quence, because money is of no conse- quence. Yet careful buying in times of pros- | perity is just as essential as it is in times of peace. So only those Key Westers who realize j the value of money now as they did in nor- fattened pocketbooks. Not many patriots have to proclaim the fact. Victory Gardens may become the main source of something to eat. Most men lose their sense of proportion them a smile. Children require so little to be happy that adults could well afford to make more of them happier. We hope every citizen of Key West will make a contribution to the Red Cross campaign, designed to finance assistance to. the fighting forces of the nation. HELPING THE RED CROSS SERVE The American Red Cross asks the peo- ple of this nation for $125,000,000 to be | sed in the interests of its sons now engaged | in battle. | amount to some citizens, it is actually only \ two-thirds as much as was subscribed by the / public in response to a similar request in | 1918. The Red Cross appears in the distin- guished role of one seeking nothing for it- | self; all that it wants is the funds with | which to render great service to those who | fight for our existence as a free people. | The people of Key West will have the privilege of making their contribution to | the amount required to finance the ex- panded work of the Red Cross which, we | | should understand, is a quasi-governmental | organization, primarily organied for war- | time service. The $125,000,000 does not include the | vast cantribution of time and talent that ‘s | being made by millions of patriotic men and , women, performing as volunteers in war service under the direction of trained Red Cross officials, i lieve, will anxiously seek the privilege of | participating in the splendid work of the great organization of mercy.
