LLL ET, a CONFIDENCE NOW What we need is confidence... Confidence in ourselves, in our dem- crag. Dur way of doing things made us the most-powerful nation in the world war; it can make us pre-eminent, also, in peace. We must carry that truth in our hearts end in our heads—we must act upon it, as indi@jduals, and express it. One group that is doing so now consists of ogy manufacturers. They have confidence in America and its future—and they are ing it with their cold cash. w have their plans laid right now, te a Department of Commerce . for a nine-billion-doilar expansion im the next 12 months. w are confident that, with govern- making available the materials and manflWeY necessary, they can solve ' jon problems and prepare * m production and employment. ‘heir faith in their ability rests on the rected of their proved performance in sup- plying eur troops and our Allies with the malGriabfor victory in war.

They are © tietoric tradition. And though preponder- ent American sentiment favors the open and pulilic threshing out of differences, as ex- em@fified at San Francisco, sccrecy is the claiie atmosphere in which international twogbles have been settied and deals made. ~ There is something to be said for closed doar meetings. They probably permit more freédem and candor of discussion, and less surrounding m mitments But there is certainty one thing to be vaid against them. They haven't prevented the-vecurrence of wars. tt i» hard to believe compromise that the world could have fared any worse throughout his- terg if diplomacy had been conducted through “open covenants openly arrived at.” And it seems to us that if this govern: ment would use its strength and good of- flees to persuade the heads of other people’s gevertments to let the people know how thei fates were being decided, things might congeivably be better The world has iittle to lose through fewer Yaltas, Potsdams, and more San Franciacos, 644 MILES IN 62 MINUTES Some idea of future ‘speeds in aerial travel comes with the news that an Army B-80 Lockheed Shooting Star fighter plane reeiintly covered the 544 air miles between Dayton, Ohio, and New York in one hour and two minutes. The jet-propelled fighter was “cruis- ing” according to its pilot, Col, William H. Council, 33-year-old veteran of Guadal- canal and other Pacific action. The economists are divided into two “NO FUNDS AVAILABLE” Monroe County commissioners should be commended for the action they took Tuesday night regarding a letter and a telegram, asking for a contribution of $150 of the taxpayers money for a half-page advertisement in a weekly paper published in some other part of the state. We want to give Key West all the advertising possible in out-of-town periodi- cals, but that advertising should be placed in mediums that we feel confident will re- sult in more tourists coming to this city. _ When the time comes that the county commissioners have any money to sperd to advertise Key West and the remainder of Monroe county, let the advertisements be placed in newspapers in New York, Chi- cago, Philadelphia and other large cities early in the season, and then, after tens of thousands of tourists have come to Florida, advertise in Miami dailies, so that visitors in that city will learn about our attractions and will visit Key West before returning to their homes. But advertising, in the nature of a gift or a subsidy, that is, to help the publisher of any newspaper not of general circulation, is a waste of taxpayers’ money. Twelve years or so ago, a local mer- chant said to an advertising man for a local newspaper published at that time, “I'll take an ad. just to help you out”, and the adver- tising man repiied: “You won’t do any such thing. If you don’t think the ad. will help you, then we don’t want you to give it to us. This is not | a charity proposition; it is strictly a business proposition.” “Helping-out” advertisements are bad enough for a business man, who is spending his own money, but far worse for a city or a county, because such advertisements are paid for by taxpayers. “No funds available.” We commend the county commissioners for making that reply.

DOCTORS POINT THE WAY The American medica] profession has announced a 14-point program for expand- ing medical service based on extension of voluntary health insurance plans under lo- cal controls, ! * American medicine is fighting social- ized medicine as a matter of principle, for it makes little difference to the fine doctors of our country whether or not our medical facilities become state controlled with everyone subjected to a compulsory tax for their support. The doctors who objected to being regimented by the state, could quit. Doctors know that under socialized medicine in European countries, service to the public has not advanced as it has in the United States where amibition, enterprise and opportunity in medicine have car- ried its accomplishments beyond those ob- tained under any other system. First rumblings of what state medicine would mean to all the people have been heard in recent complaints about treatment and practices in the veterans’ hospitals here at home. Such hospitals are not moved by the incentive to excel that governs indepen- dent medicine. The veterans’ hospitals fall under political’ control, an@ the ‘inevitable jealousies and prejudices that abound in bureaucratic organizations, creep in. They offer a good example of the pitfalls the public would encounter if our medical sys- tem were socialized and fell under political control. The fight to keep American medicine free in order to assure the extension of qualified public health and _ preventive medical service, is something the people should not make light of. Their future and not that of the doctors is at stake. Nearly every columnist and commen- tator «dmits that he had scored a number of news scoops. A FUTURE MYTH “There is no definite proof that Hitler is dead,” declares Colonel-General Alex- ander Gorbatov, Russian chairman of the Allied Command in Berlin. This will again cause comment and speculation throughout the world as to the fate of the former Fuhrer. Whether Hitler died in Berlin or fled to unknown areas will pester historians unless the question is solved in the meantime. Moreover, there will arise legends in many countries to the effect that a mysterious in- dividual arrived, lived a while and died and elaiees: (a) those who expect inflation and | that the unidentified stranger was no other (b), those who expect deflation, than Adolf Hitler. .
