The gentlemen agree that manage- ment must be free “from unnecessary gov- eremental interference or burdensome re- strictions” and that labor should be free rom legislative enactments which would interfere with or discourage” the right to of Commerce gonize and to engage in collective bar- sinin gw While we think the announcement is tep in the right direction, which may sig- fy @ new cooperation between manage- edt and labor, the average American will do well to remember that the general wel- of people is not necessarily de- loped by a scheme. which takes care of menagement and labor We point this out without intending particular criticism the general issued by the three gentlemen. iare ve vny of tatement ht is an obvious fact. for example, that labor » got together on a code en- Let us suppose and agricultu rely satistactory to laborers and farmer Obviously, the United States includes indi- « hose interest are not identical, ith vith labor or with agriculture.

You have read that’ story about the and probably it occurred to you, as it did to us, that a good many individual Ameri- | cans have more money than was found in the cache. c First reports said that the amount o/ gold tetaled $100,000,000, but latest ac- counts said that it had not yet been deter- mined what the sum was, It may be a little butter, as Hitler declared on sundry occa- sions, and now, after a long day’s hunting, | is eating crow. ii What has happened to Germany in | investing in guns, is happening now to man: | Key Westers who have, ard still are, in-' vesting in “guns”, that is, by amplification, ‘in something that is not essential to their ' wellbeing. For instance, The Citizen has de- claimed several times about local men and some women cashing their war bonds as soon as they are cashable. The line, for these super-patriots, still forms at the right at the local bank, and the line sometimes out to the sidewalk. 4 Some: { those persons probably need q eir bonds into cash to meet ex- | penises; but it is hard for us or anybody else ay W, in these lush times, when every- is able to earn money may do so, ‘ssary for so many Key Westers to {cash their bonds. The percentage of those | who really need the money should be ex- ceedingly small. | However, the wild spending continues | among many Key Westers who are earning more now than they ever did before, and repeatedly, broke a short time after the war is over, and they will not have anybody to blame but themselves. It would seem that all of us would be anxious to be financially independent, but such is not thewase. Too many are content to take what are virtual hand-outs from members of their families or from their friends. There is no disgrace in being helped by anybody when you have been a victim of circumstances, which is something that may ogcur to any of us, but it is a double disgrace, when we are put in a position to guard against the uncertainty of the future, and fail to take that precaution, as hun- dreds of Key Westers are doing now. Are you .investing your money in “guns”? a ¢ People are divided into two classes: personal appearance and those who fail to pay enough attention to their p. a. NEGRO VOTING The question of economic and political justice for zroes is so involved in emo- tions, tradition and custom that the mere discussion of .it is difficult. But Florida | political leaders were bestirred into such recent days as has, pot occurred in a long fime. For, closeltfoHoWing ‘the Pensacola circuit court decision ordering the regis- ttar to record two negroes as Democrats, milar suits popped up in Palm Beach and Puval counties. Naturally the negroes will win there, too. Then the long-smoldering fight to gain equal teacher pay for regroes flamed up again despite the fact the cleverly de- vised “merit” rating system had been part- ly sustained in Dade, had stymied litig tion in Pinellas. But it was up again in Manatee, the Broward suit against closing negro schools during the truck harvesting ason appeared headed for a decision. to decide what to do in the April legisla- ture about Democratic primaries. Tom Watson, who recently declared eventual negro voting “inevitable” nonetheless ap- pointed the smartest committee, 22 news- | Paper editors, legislators, business well scattered geographically.
