BLOCS IN THE U.N.O. In the opening meetings of the United Nations’ General Assembly, the first work of importance was to name the members of various councils, commissions and com- mittees. . In the process of selecting members, observers note a tendency on the part of the Latin-American group to get together as a bloc, choose whom they wanted in a particular place and thus pre tically force the UNO to accept their nomination, re- gardless of the man or position involved. It has also been observed that the in- fant Arab League, consisting of Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, acts in concert, apparently for the pur- pose of excluding Turkey and Iran from positions of prominence. Apparently, the League has been encouraged by Russia, and the unwillingness of the United States and Great Britain to make an issue has faciliated the League’s succes We call attention to these matters, not in criticism of the UNO or in the be- lief that they threaten the success of the organization. The formation of blocs, in the early operation of the UNO, is prob- ably inevitable. As the organization gets to work, there is the prospect that these tactics, will disappear and that all nations will look upon issues fairly and vote as independent units. There is no reason for the people of this country to be worried by the action of the Latin-American and Arabic groups. Perhaps the cooperation of smaller na- tions is somewhat inevitable in view of the little influence that they possess when they act alone. Nevertheless, it would be a pity for the United Nations Organizatién to be- come a group of competing blocs, because such practices will inevitably prevent the development of policies based upon justice and reason. goMIGHTs4RUN OUT OF ARMY” It is not creditable to the Congress or the people of the United States that Gen- éral Eisenhower has to appeal for “calm judgment and sound discipline’ to re- place the hysteria that has been connected with demobilization of our fighting forces. The leader of our successful cam- paign in Europe says frankly that the al- ternative is for the Army to throw in the sponge on its principal mission, occupa- tional duties and the protection of billions of dollars worth of property still overseas. The Chief of Staff made a personal appeal to the Senators and Representa- tives to support the Army in its effort to meet the problem plaguing it wherever men are overseas. He frankly admitted that the War Department could not live up to the “hope” of General Marshall that all men with two years’ service would be discharged this spring and warned that if demobiliation was accelerated beyond present plans, the nation will literally ‘run out of Army.” - A nincompoop is aman, or woman, who has to have advice before deciding what is right. When in doubt keep your buccal cav- ity closed. Silence is still golden; don’t tarnish it with irresponsible utterances. The education of children suffers from a laek of cash and, at times, from the ignorance of those supposed to know. TOPPING $40,000 Business at a local post office, bank deposits and the payment of taxes are generally considered in determining busi- ness trends in a community, with the re- ceipts in stamp sales at the post office coming first. But, as regards Key West, there is another factor just as outstanding as pos- tal receipts in determing business condi- tions in our community, and that is the collection of tolls on our bridges. Let us consider that factor nection with business conditions in con- in Key West today and we will find tnat they are | practically as good now as at any time during the war. Last month, with the collection of tolls totaling $31,375.75, more than $7,000 in excess of the amount for the same month in 1944, indicated for the first time since the falling off of tolls, that business con- ditions were returning fast to their war | | status. Other recent months had shown gains but they were not as pronounced as in December just past. With four days more to go in this month, receipts have already exceeded the December totals. And bear in mind that January is not considered a really good month for the collection of tolls because for a week or so after New Year’s Day the traffic slows down. For instance, the best January, ex- cluding the present one, in collection of tolls was in 1941 when there was a nation- wide rush in preparing for the war the United States government felt sure was to come. That best January in the history of the Overseas Highway up to then show- ed a total collection of $31,694.41, and the receipts this month, with four days more to go, since Sunday; have exceeded that sum. B. M. Duncan, engineer for the Over- seas Highway, said he thought that the total collection of tolls this month will be between $38,000 and $40,000, which is a far cry from those months since the road was built when the total for a month fell below $20,000. A Up, up, up, go the tolls, and, wh February and March generally the béSt months on the highway, the $40,000 mark likely will be topped. It cost the government $3,650,000 monthly to run the, various bureaus in- cident to the war, and now that most of them have been eleminated altogether, or at least greatly reduced, these depart- ments of bureaus are still costing the tax- payer $3,215,000. How do you figure out that one? How about it, Secretary Vinson! COMMENDING SENATOR MORSE United States Senator Wayne L. Morse, of Oregon, says that he has little concern for his own political future unless “T can be reelected on my own ideas.” The Senator is now engaged in a fight to curtail the influence of “Conservative” Republicans and to t “Progressives” to gain control of his party. Whether one agrees with his views on political issues or not, every American should appreciate his willingness to fight for what he believes and to risk his politi- cal fygure on his ideas. The United States needs men in pub- liewffice who are ready to do this. In fact, we are inclined to believe that it is far more important to have congressmen pos- sessing intellectual honesty and _ political courage than to have members of particu- lar parties. Character and _ intelligence transcend political appelations and alone make possible the success of the American system of government. The exceptional individual builds a Practical idealism upon facts. The publisher of a newspaper pro- duces the kind of paper that the patron- age warrants; often somewhat better. LABEL DOES NOT CHANGE POISON The so-called St. Lawrence seaway, TVA, Bonneville, Grand Coulee, the Cen- tral Valley project in California, the San- tee-Cooper project in South Carolina, the proposed Missouri Valley Authority, and numerous others are all as socialistic as was the much publicized Dneiper dam in Russia which was part of one Russian “five-year plan”. Our Federal govern- ment’s tax-exempt power projects aré no different in prineiple or effect, from the standpoint of killing ‘private enterprise, than is the Russian system. The American people are just being fed communism un- def misleading labels. ‘THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Chapter 16 URK waited and Edith con- tinued to stare out across the lav-r. and wish she had not come, The gaunt shadows of the age-old trees swept across the grass as if with caressing fingers.

Whit was not any kinder to Barbara than he had been to Laura. After all these years, it was not to be expected that he would change. She felt a deep hopelessness about it. RS. MAXON came in, bring- ing a tray on which were two tall tinkling glasses. “Aren’t you going to join us?” Burk asked. “Y'm afraid I haven’t time now,” she answered. “I’m canning peas this morning, Miss Lacey. You'll excuse me if I hurry back.” Edith emptied her glass, set it down and rose to go. “I'm sorry if ’'ve kept you from your work,” she said. “It doesn’t matter.” And now he found himself floundering for words. “I—I—thank you for com- ing and—and for telling me about Barbara.” He hélped hér ‘tp on Nancy’s broad back and»Edith said good- bye, feeling,asifonlorn as she had ever felt ,in her, life.
