A British sailor has been fined $8 by * London magistrate for climbing the 185- foot column supporting the statue of Lord Neleon on ‘Trafalgar Square. Me explained to the court that he had # life ambition to shake hands with the temous Admiral. Nevertheless, the judge Timed him $8, but a middle-aged man paid ~_ the fine, saying, with some traces of envy, ‘the: the sailor had done something he had always wanted to do.

Nevertheless, the Tormer sailor wanted to do it and he went This brings to mind the inhibited of many persons. Most of us go life, carefully fondling . some but rarely being willing to take the of attempting to make it come true. ‘The probability is that if more of us would follow the example of Henry Taylor, the British sailor, we would enjoy life more send probably become more efficient as in- dividuals, The best medical treatment is rest and relaxation, and costs so little. Further- more ne enormous doctor's bills to pay, 8 in 80 many cases. _ Senato: a Calif ‘ornia, says that letters receiv: im “are running without crippling amendments” and Price Administrator Paul Porter expresses con- fidence that the public will give wide- spread support to continued strong price This remains to be seen. Certainly, there has been a mobilization of the forces against price, controls, including various groups and interests which believe that greater profits can be had if restrictions are removed. There is a tendency to forget that, after the first World War, serious infla- tion occurred after the end of hostilities. There was no adequate price control then. Now, the nation faces the danger of stead- ily imereasing prices and it is dangerous, in our opinion, to end the effort to keep prices in line through adequate controls. If prices move upward the demand will arise for increased wages to meet the higher cost of living and, after wages are upped, manufacturers will begin again the process of seeuring higher prices. If there is no OPA there will be no limit and the spiral will end, we fear, in a disastrous slump, precipitating another economic debacle. : There are millions of Americans who have money saved. Its buying power de- pends entirely upon the level of: prices. Moreover, the level of prices depends, in part, upon the wisdom with which this immense reserve of buying power is used. If it is the cause of a wild scramble to buy, withovt regard to prices, then it will speed the inflationary process. ? The public can apply its own price control by buying slowly and wisely. Russia is taking advantage of our sincerity, or would you call it stupidity? There still are millions living who have Fascist or Nazi ideas. At the recent elections in Germany, Swastika emblems appeared at election booths and at several the words “For a Greater Germany” ap- peared on the walls. } Fritz Kuhn, the leader of the Nazi Bund in the United States, who was de- ported to Germany and has now been re- leased by the American authorities there, wants to come back to the good old U. S. A. because, as he says, there are no oppor- tunities in his native, land...He deserved deportation and he should remain de- Rorted. FOOD NEEDED NOW The action of President Truman in requesting former President - Herbert Hoover to hurry home, after advising newspaper men that the world food crisis is ‘worse than it has been painted,” indi- cates that the officials of UNRRA have had a more accurate estimate of the world situation than that possessed by officials in this country, including Mr. Hoover prior to his trip abroad. The President wants Mr. Hoover home to present “forcibly and dramatic- ally” the Euroepan food picture. Evident- ly, the threat of starvation in the next 90 days has persuaded our official leaders that the United States must! do more to provide food for the suffering men, women and children abroad. Unfortunately, the appeal to the peo- ple of this country has been somewhat obscured by the conflicting attitudes of UNRRA, which demanded immediate and drastic action to secure food, and our own officials, including Mr. Hoover, who in- sisted that rationing was unnecessary. We have no way of securing the evidence upon which to determine the issue be- tween the two groups but we have not hesitated to suggest that the Government take the action necessary to secure food for relief shipments. While it may be necessary for some of us to do without a little food, there is no danger that any of us will be hurt. We are unable to report the attitude of the various church organizations in the United States but there has been very little publicity to indicate that the relig- ious leaders of the nation have been great- ly concerned with the plight of millions of starving people. This conclusion may be erroneous because it is possible that many preachers have called the matter to the attention of their congregations without any publicity. Nevertheless, if there are responsible religious leaders who have failed to urge the members of their con- gregations to support the effort to feed helpless and innocent people, we hope that they will do so immediately, 20 to 25 to 1 in favor of continuing OPA | Tn the centre of the table, were placed. two chairs. more elevated mistress of the family.

NESTOR RECIO. Key West, Flia., April 29, 1946. HITS CLEANUP DRIVE Editor, The Citizen: I have read with much interest what you said regarding the prob- lem of cleaning up our property. and making Key West a city we all will be proud of, also am in} accord with what you say with! regards to operating with the city | forces to accomplish this desired effect. I wonder if I would be out of; order if I should say or ask you to tequest the city to co-operate | with the property owners? It is rather unusual to me to see some people clean up, their places and before the grass.and weeds wilt, the city has_a truck running. all over their lot gathering up the piles of rubbish they have made. I for one took it upon myself to inquire of the city last year if-I should start to clean up my place would they haul off the rubbish. This they assured me they would do. I went ahead and cleaned up and piled the trash and rub- bish as close to the ¢idewalk as possible and to this date not a blade of grass or any part of the rubbish have they moved and that has keen since last year. The attitude the city has taken makes me feel like, “Oh, what’s the use.” TI fail to get any co- operation. Very respectfully, G. S. JONES. Key.
