In another six months the Philippine Islands will become independent, and on their own. But the United States is not going to give them up—and the Philippines not going to give us up. The popula- tion of the Philippines, at the time of taking the 1940 census, was 16,350,000 and the and area of the Islands was 114,830 square are miles. Reciprocal free trade relations have existed between the United States and the Philippines since 1909. Under the new relationship covering the forthcoming in- dependence of the Philippines free trade | continue for ten years. The most im- portant shipments of the Islands to our own has been sugar.. The Philippines are insisting that its sugar should be shipped without any tariff to the United indefinitely. All restrictions on the shipments of su- gar from Hawaii were removed by an or- der President Roosevelt in 1942. So Hawaii figures in our three-cornered sugar country by puzzle A lot of people keep right on asking why sugar production is not developed in the United States so as to take care of our own demands. Ah, there is the rub! A half dozen of our own Southern States have grown as fine a quality of sugarcane and sugarbeets as has ever béen produced in part of the world. ONLY AN ECONOMIC PROBLEM The plan of health insurance, propos- Truman, is not a scheme regardless of what President medicine, ed by to. socialize nu hear. It is unfortunate that some leaders of medical have seen fit to aunch their opposition to health insurance with the allegation that it means that the government is about to direct the practice of medicine. When disease hits a family there are two problems involved: (a) what doctor to cal] and what treatment is necessary and 2) where is the money coming from to meet the emergency expense. Health insurance attempts to meet the second problem, which is entirely an eco- nomic matter. It has no relation whatever ) the first problem. profession There is no law that compels minori- ties to respect the rights of majorities. The Citizen hopes that every reader ave a prosperous New Year and vice versa. . Military information: Controlled . in the next war, will make it un- necessary for bomber to fly over ny territory. i crews The recent Moscow meeting demon- trates once again, that the diplomats’ of the United States cannot compete Europe, especially the those of crafty They take advantage “Gopi F Molotov. of our honesty. Winston Churchill, member House of Commons, said yesterday: “The gener and companionship of the United States in eause of freedom will ever stand: forth a monument of human virtue and of fu- ture world hope.”” Today he said: “The abrupt termination of lend-lease by the United States is harsh and unbelievable.” ! nessman’s with, COMMUNITY INTERESTS eee Most of us do a great deal of moral- izing or sermoning or pledging ourselves to do this and not to do that when New Year’s Day rolls around. We have been in a similar mood, and today we tried to figure out, with the first week of the New Year almost passed, what of consequence we have done during that time. Frankly, it has been the same old grind, eating and sleeping and working and reading, interlarded with a little rec- reation. All of us could accomplish more, were we backed by unflinching determination, yet, many a time, when we think we have done nothing, we have done much. That feeling always has been true of man, regardless of how successful his life might have been. Dr. Samuel Johnson, who compiled the first English dictionary of any consequence, and who wrote volum- inously, remarked frequently that he had wasted most of his life, and often became remorseful because ha had not done far more than he had accomplished. Dr. Brougham, who, one author said, did the work of three ordinary men, also felt that he had left many things undone that he should have done. Brushing aside our personal accom- plishments, or lack of them, let us face this question: What are we going to do this year to promote the interests of Key West? We may ask other questions of. a similar nature: Are we going to be _concerned only in our selfish interests during this year, or are we going to give a part of our time to helping Key West?) We should realize that, in helping our community, we are also helping ourselves, because our own success depends in a great measure on the success of Key West as a whole, With the housing shortage so acute, home, ‘sweet home has more poignant sig- nificance to the homeless, and more com- forting solace to those enjoying its shelters. ee Sometimes a friend causes more havoc than an enemy; the friend’s candor inno- cently may do greater harm than the ene- my’s avowed ‘hatred. The poet Canning, in this matter, expressed himself thusly: “But of all plagues, good Heaven, thy wrath can send, save, save, oh save me from the candid friend!” When taking leave of Louis XIV, Marechal Villars ex- pressed the aphorism in this fashion: “De- fend me from my friends; I can defend myself from my enemies.” QUIT BLOWING IN YOUR MONEY Senator Alexander Wiley of Wiscon- sin writes one of the best letters to the newspapers of his state that goes from Washington, and in his New Year’s Letter he found time to rejoice that “the old or- der changes, giving place to the new.” Be- ing an optimist, he looks for better times in future days. The senator reports that “the. Ameri- people now have accumulated 170 billion dollars in savings, the greatest amount in history.” He warns people who have a nest egg to beware of swindler: and crooks out to steal it with every shady scheme conceivable. But he also tells his fellow members in Congress to stop their habit to “spend, spend, spend.” At the close of the year 1945 he paints a plain news picture of “what: cats. did Congress take, specifically during the fate- ful year of 1945?” And then he explains: It ratified the United Nations Charter, vot- ed funds for foreign relief, authoried world financial cooperation, reduced taxes, abol- ished war time, liberalized the G. I. Bill of Rights, authorized housing funds and navigation and foold control appropria- These are but a few of the hundreds of bills passed by Congress during the last 12 months. Among future issues that Congress will face when it opens its Second Session, Senator Wiley believes there must be a solution of how to curb the strike menace and protect the best interests of the public, of labor and of management. Whether or not to merge the Army and the Navy into one Cabinet Department and .to enact Peacetime conscription? How to cope with the still terrible housing shortage? What to do about revising our tax system? How to handle price and rationing controls? What about the proposed health and social security legislation? How to reorganie the government and strengthen Congress and the other branches to meet their heavy responsibilities? How to insure full justice for our returning servicemen? What to do about controlling and utilizing atomic energy? How to meet the farnier’s prob- lems, the laboring man’s, the small busi- and so on. . can tions. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN >” / Chapter 27 [Tuesday 9:05 a.m. to 5 p.m.] ENABLE rushed to the door and dashed across the foyer with Julia at his heels. Grace was standing by the cen- ter sofa, one hand on the back to support herself and the other pointed at the painting on the south wall. “I did it myself—” Her finger moved to the other two pictures which bore Robey’s signature. “And I did those too. They paid some attention to them when he exhibited them—-the lousu. They’re ro but I never got any credit. got money but it’s gone and I want my pictures. I want them and I'm going to take them, No one can stop me!” She started forward and would have climbed upon the banquette to reach the painting but Jerry grabbed her. “Don’t be like that, Grace. I'l! get it for you.” Then_he tossed angrily at Steinway. “You would have to bring up these damn pic- tures.” Julia -interrupted, “You can have them, Grace. I'll send them to vou.” “T’d like to buy the one with the dancers,” Virginie said hurriedly. “The background is overpowering but they look tremendously sig- nificant.” ‘Dhe wild, def.ant expression in the black eyes faded into the wo- man’s former sullen attitude with an.added element of supe 2 she» glanced from Julia. to Vi sinia. - Frank said, “If I'd ever thotight it over I would have known you did them, Grace. But yow were clever ‘about not letting any one find vut.” They all began talking nervous- ly and Julia turned to the Inspec- tor at her side. He was watching without ‘expression but his eyes were bright and darting sD They changed when they met hei He took her arm and guided “her into the foyer and ordered her to go to her room. “Don’t tell any one anything and keep your doors locked.

I have to know that.” She lifted her face beseechingly. “Lord. no! CGnly Moore could have saved himself. Go through this way now, please.” She passed through Robey’s suite and locked the doors of her bedroom as the Inspector had warned her. NSPECTOR VENABLE had}; given her a feeling of confi- dence by his belief in her inno- cence. She had not realized how much she had been affected by the suspicions of the others—even Jerry had leaped to the conclu-| sion that she was guilty. She pulled the covers of the bed back and got in. Grace was the one who had painted the pictures. That fitted with other things. Robey had beer. only an actor— on stage and off. She had sensed that but she had not understood how much depended upon the quality of his acting. He would have been laughed off the stage if he had not played his The strangest thing in the whole situation was that he should be the victim instead of the mur- r-|derer because he had fed on them a She dropped restlessly into un- consciousness that grew deeper with the hours until Cook came banging on the door and dragged her_back. “You’re wanted to the phone, ma’am.” She stumbled to the door and jet Cook in with the phone in her hand. “Hello,” phone. “It’s Jerry, honey.

She walked aimlessly through the rooms open- ing doors and looking into closets. She stood in the salon and tried to imagine where each person had’ been when she entered the room after Robey had fellen. Suddenly the cold thought struck her that if she were to help tonight she should tell them about the certi- ficate. But should she? Wouldn’t that hinder the Inspector? She could not solve that for herself and de- cident to call him. Venable listened to her with scarcely a word. “Will it matter: if I tell them pele the paper?” she asked at ast. He hesitated a long time before he answered. “If you do, you'll be bait,” he said. “But I could be there to take care of you.” Then he burst out, “No, for God’s sake don’t.” She hung up gently and he didn’t call back and she knew that he realized as she did that the decision must be hers. To be continued SPIRITUAL FOOD By J. W. R. BIBLE INFORMATION This column Saturday published a number of Bible facts a reader so kindly assembled from a scrap- book and sent in to “Spiritual| Food.” They proved to be so in- teresting and caused such favor- able comment, the writer has done a little researching of his own and found the following ad- ditional Biblical facts to pass on} to readers for their edification: Terms Used For Holy Books The word “Bible”, which means book in Greek, does not appear in the text of the Holy Scriptures. The terms used to designate the! collection of Holy Books known to us as the “Bible” include: The Holy Scriptures, The Word of Truth, The Scriptures, The Word,! The Law and the Prophets, and’ the Old and New Testaments. The Law, the Prophets.and the’ Writings are the terms Jews gave to the Old Testament. The King James Bible, which! is commonly used now, was be-| gun in 1607 and published in 1611.) This English translation of the} Holy Scriptures was known as the! “Authorized Version.” A revision| of the Authorized Version (but! not a new translation) was begun} in 1611 and published in 1881. Chapters And Verses The idea of dividing the Holy, Scriptures into chapters was con- ceived by Cardinal Hugo de Sanc-| to Caro in 1250. i A printer of Paris, while mak-! ing a horseback journey from’ Lyons to Paris in 1550, arranged’ the chapters in verses. | There are 1,189 chapters in the} Bible, 929 in the Old Testament) and 260 in the New Testament. | The 117th Psalm is the middle chapter of the Bible, the 29th chapter of Job is the middle of the Old Testament and the 13th) chapter of Romans is the middle} of the New Testament. The 117th Psalm is not only the) middle chapter of the Bible but} is also ‘the shortest. It contains only two verses of 33 words and} 133 letters. The longest chapter in the} Bible, the 119th Psalm, is sep-| arated from the shortest by just! one chapter. The longest chapter) consists of 178 verses divided into} 23 sections of eight verses each. Including the titles of the sec- tions, some of which are the let- ters of the Hebrew alphabet, there are 2,445 words and 10,146! letters in the 119th Psalm. j There is one chapter of the Bible that does not end with a period. It is the 21st chapter of Acts. There are no paragraphs in the chapter. ‘The 19th chapter of John, which: , is the 1,016th chapter of the Bible, contains 1,016 words in the Re-' vised Version. The shortest verse in the Old’ Tetsament is I Chron. 1:25.
