Johnson, of Colo- rado, a pre-Pearl Harbor non- -intervention- ist, thinks that ‘“‘we are drifting tow: ard war with Russia with certainty and speed” because we are “trying to bluff Russia w ith conscription of but that the Russians know * empty pistol” and “their conte mpt must grow with each passing hour.” The Color: alo solomsays tt ‘teen age boys” says ‘we are waving an of us hat the Unit- ed States must show the world that it is,able and ready for defense against anyone and any kind of warfare. He observes that un- less we meant business we should have kept out of the United Nations Organization and decries an effort to limit the President’s power to enforce peace by the use of arms. He “no hope for humanity except through an organized world effort to stop war picked by force.” The senator thinks that we should seek friendship with Ru eared! y by the interchange of Russian and American stu- dents but that we should a up to the Soviet, saying: ‘Brother, you haven't thing on this earth that we covet oth your cooperation, friends hip and good will; but don’t make the fatal n ake ¢ pushing us around—we won't take it.” For a non-interventionist, moves over considerable ground when he suggests that “with vision and guts ‘and plenty of atomic bombs, planes and strategically located air bases, the United States can outlaw wars of ag- gression.” sees As a citizen, appreciative of the serv- ice of fighting men, have you stopped to think what Monroe County has done, or is doing, for ex-service men? Somebody suggests that the explosion of enough atomic bombs might ignite the explosive elements of the atmosphere and wipe out civilization. That one way it could happen and the most precipitate way, while our modern way to scuttle civ- ‘Tlization is more deliberate. | : : against the commi. | sure -ories in ajfew years.

Nobodsd knows, “closed corporation”, what the charge ioner will be, because, ce the inauguration of the commission- hey have voted unanimously on every question except a ‘minor instances, th refiected a matter of opinion. But those on the outside, who can not conceive of any-sound charge being made against any of the commissioners, surmise the reason for the move, assuming that it will be made, is because a few disgruntled gentry were unable to boss the commission- ers during the caucuses they held shortly after they were elected. And some of the disgruntled are wh eaming because they were unable to get | hich they had expected to get in it the elction turned out in favor of ndidates. the disgrunted few were not long learning that every one of the commis- had a mind and a conscience of his own and voted as his conscience prompted sione | him. The people of Key West, beyond any Gpéstion whatever, will refuse to have po- it eo 1 pulled over:their eyes in this or any otlyer matter.” Unléss good and suf- figient reason is set forth in the petition of recall, that their attempt at recall will be frustrated, if the movement goes as far as holding an election. “Because he would not give me a job” is purely resentment, not a reason for ex- ercising the privilege for recall under the provisions set forth in the charter. Time may be money but it takes in- telligent work to cash it. We know a man who is five summers behind on his vacation schedule. Many of the things thatyou sworry, about today will’ become pleasant. mem- 1 |, DEMOBILIZATION OR! - DISINTEGRATION? 3 There has been much criticism of the démobilization program. Part of the crit- icism springs from revulsion of freé-born mer itizens to militarism. Part de- rives from those who want to get members of their families home, and view any ob- struction, no matter how unavoidable, with belligerence. Part comes from the fact that some phases of demobilization actual- ly have been tripped up by confusion. Though it may surprise some, the Army is discharging more than 40,000 men aday. Both the Army and Navy are ahead schedule in demobilizing. The Army plans to release 54 per cent more men by Christmas than was thought possible a few weeks ago. In reality, demobilization is proceeding at a dangerously rapid pace. General Marshall, who ieves in releas- ing men at the fastest, le rate, warns that: ¢ widespread drisis of, the “American peoplé, demobilidation has become, in Affect, dis- integration, not only of the arfned forces t apparently of all conception of world responsibility and what it demands of us.” Admiral King has vehemently expressed a similar opinion. This is something to ponder. Moreover, in spite of the tumult of criticism, it should not be forgotten that military leadership, American style, red tape and all, can on occasion be very hu- man. There was the incident in San Fran- cisco a short time ago when Rear Admiral Wright, commandant of that district, act- ing on his own initiative, removed more than a hundred men eligible for discharge, of bu from a Japan-bound transport Minutes be-| | fore sailing time. Yes, there aze two sides to every story, even in the'case of demobilization. Have the Amefican people, forgetten Pearl Har- age stations, near. the Nprth/ bor; the*ldng uphill pull; from. there .to Midway, ‘to Okinawa, to Japan? Have they forgotten the Norniahdy invasion, the miseries of the whole long European cam- paign? Have they forgotten the miracles of military skill that lifted them out of the depths of despair to victory? Have they forgotten that this victory came just a few short months ago, and that the gen- erals and admirals have had to switch from invasion and attack to demobilization, in an incredibly short time? An injection of old-fashioned pa- triotism would be be a good thing for all of us. | outside of the little the disgruntled coterie may be | ‘+ Congregational THE KEY WEST CITIZEN By Ernestine Adams you can walk] airs to get| Chapter 10 [Sunday 11:04 a.m. to 12:25 p.m.]j S SOON as Virginia was gone} Julia sat up.

There she hailed a cab and di- rected the driver fo Jerry’ Sapart- ment on 78th: Street. . ‘She leaned back in thé cab, and tried to rest but fhere were so many things coursing through her |mind. ‘First she must find out | what Robey had been so desperately afraid he would tell. That was j the first thing that had come to mind when the Inspector said he must have facts, Also she wanted to know what Jerry meant by his reference to Robey’s double. Could Robey have had an understudy who could pass for him off the stage? It sounded like an old melodrama but everything that happened seemed unreal and theatrical. Suddenly she sat up in the cab. The woman in the red hat! She had forgotten her. What had she given Robey? That might be the clue to the whole mystery. But there was no way she could get in touch with her. She turned over several ideas and then hit upon one that seemed easiest. Directing the cabbie to drive to Sixth Avenue, she told him to stop at the first place where clas- he deat gotl sified ads could be taken. When he found a stationery store, Julia got out and told him to wait, She went injand had in- serted under perso) ‘If the woman who lost a ea street Saturday will answer this she will get her hat and a re- ward.” She had the ad keyed and told them she would call for re- plies. As she turned to leave she heard a tinkling sound. One of the clerks had taken an old light bulb | from the socket and laid it on a glass case. She stood motionless for an instant, then went on to the cab. She knew now where Robey had hidden the paper he got from the woman in the red hat. ‘ To be continued | Robert i.
