DICTATORSHIP IN DEFAULT There is a possibility that this nation may go totalitarian by default. And if that happens, we will see “the beginning of a cycle of tyranny and impoverishment such 1 | COUNCIL ON RIGHT TRACK ers have said that the city council is justi- fied in taking that course because of the | running over them. But the councilmen know | how our streets are being torn up, and they, acted promptly on that knowledge. Of course, streets must be torn up in making certain types of improvements, but the streets, af- ter having been torn up, should be replac-. ed, in a reasonable length of time, in at least as good a condition as they had been in be- fore trenches were dug. The councilmen put their finger on the right spot when they accused the company that owns the ditchdigger that is tearing up Key West streets to lay water mains or laterals. The company was doing much as it pleased, first, because it was not under bond, and, secondly, because the Key West Board of Public Works had been pushed aside and not permitted to require the com- pany to put streets back into good condi- tion. In any other city a repaving crew fol- lows a ditchdigging crew when streets are | torn up to make improvements. After pipes are laid, the repaving crew.starts its work, and, in a few days at the longest, streets are again in good condition. But what has hap- | pened in Key West? The trenches were were lined, and are still lined, either with ruts or bumps. Some roads have remained in that state for more than six weeks. The Citizen is confident that that condition would not have been permitted in any otn- er city in this country. But back to the buses. Everybody should know that narrow tires wear out a as other nations have experienced when the individual was superseded by the State.” That is the warning of Eric John- | fore the wide ones can begin their tearing.) | son, president of the United States Cham- ber of Commerce. The danger of America going tctali- tarian arises from the illusion that govern- | cient excuse to cause the city to try to go 5 ment is lessed with an inexhaustible sup- ply of wisdom and cash, which can be drawn on freely without any strings attach- ed to freedom. It:is’a dangerous illusion, a warped conception of democracy, the result of which has been 4 staggering growth of bureaucracy, debt, and political domina- tion of private effort. It must be erased be- fore the future can be approached with confidence. Our republic became great because it has alwafs been a land of individual enter- prise. Its people grew strong because they were free and self reliant. A man who had au good idea and.was willing to work to put it into effect, received encouragement and veward, providing he could actually give people something they needed and wanted. Thus industry was built. Hard work by in- dividuals keeps it going. Our bountiful na- tural resources—the oil, coal and metals so vital to vietory—would still be buried in the ground but for the individuals who were afraid to take risks and.back up those risks with a lot of sweat. The people of mafty nations are ‘count- ing on this country..The men and women cf America are literally the last hope for a better civilization. It is inconceivable that, with the tradition ae atness which is theirs, they will seek to s6lve their problems by following the same tawdry path of gov- ernment. idolatry that Has destroyed civili- zation in a large partwkthe world. ATTU OCCUPIED Japanese -resistance upon Attu has | | ceased and the United States is in undis- | puted possession of the island that puts our bombers_closer than ever to Japan. The usual crop.of,..gloomy remarks | comes from our expert ijitary writers who point out that we could have of American lives if we had occupied the is- land some months-ages It might be pointéd”out that we could have saved the entire experience of war if we had“maintained a larger navy, a better army anda more powerful air force. In fact we couldthave saved fives, no doubt, if we had taken the bit in our'teeth ten years ago and blasted the Japs off their little islands. Victory Gardens are vaded—by bugs, sects, now being in- beetles and_ similar in- Pantelleria, Lampedusa—Sicily next. Beyond Sicily lies Italy. President Roose- velt hasinformed the Italian people that if they kick ouf the traitor Mussolini, their land will not be devastated nor invaded. By this time the Italians should have learn- saved the loss | street quicker than do wide tires. A rut must be opened large enough by narrow tires be- up process. However, let us admit that the buses are wearing away our streets. Is that suffi- back on its solemn pledge? The city and the Key West Transit Company have entered into a properly e ecuted contract, and a thousand laws or so- called laws passed by the legislature can not impair the obligations set forth in that contract. Finally, the council is on the right track up of our streets, In case of doubt you should make the tion. Despite the alarms from Australia, thrust against the island, and a few days ago Prime Minister Curtin declared that all fear of Alustralia being invaded by the Japs has disappeared. SPAIN LAMENTS BOMBING Spanish newspapers now ¢éntend that the belligerents should agree to cease aerial bombardments, taking the position that such methods of waging war are not to be countenanced, The objections of the Spanish newspa- pers come at a late date. They had no croco- dile tears to shed when the German Luft- | waffe was dropping death and destruction | upon Great Britain. They had no lamenta- tions when Poland, the Lowlands and France felt the weight of Nazi explosives. United Nations will pay attention to the hy- pocritical suggestion that emanates from Spain, where the government is in sym- | pathy with the Axis powers, which con- | tributed the armed forces that made Fran- | co’s revolution a success. = The British, it is clear, haye tn © of easing the aerial bombardment, that beginning to pay big dividendseSiz.A thony Eden, Foreign Secretary, has made it clear that the British will bomb Germany and Italy relentlessly. Air Marshal Sir Arthur Harris, chief of the RAF bomber command, explicitly | warns Germany that “what she had had in | the past will be chicken feed compared to what she is going to get,” and adds that | “the same applies to Italy.” Britain's memory is long, says Harris, i He declares that Germany knows her air | power will never catch up with the.
