We are not prepared to assert that | “there is no danger in the organization or : that its methods and aspirations have been in the best interest of the people of this | country. At the same time, we are frank te-assert that it is necessary for labor to have an effective organization if it is to | have a voice in the formation of political | principles. From time to time we have received some Of the “propaganda” of the Political Action Committee but the amount of “literature” that we receive from this Committee and other so-called liberal groups nowhere equals the mass of similar material that comes to us from business interests and organizations. The truth of the matter is that neither the capitalists nor the labor lead- ers speak for what might be called nation- alinterests and that each group seeks to “take care”, of the interest of its compon- efit members. Since politics seems to de- pend upon organization, the lesson for the people of the country to learn is that if there is no organiation to represent their interests they had better get busy and be- come organized. UNIQUE IN THE WORLD . The Allied Screening Commission, administered by the British Army in Greece and Crete, is making an effort to compensate those who suffered financial loss in connection with assisting the Allies during the war. The island of Crete was the scene of bitter and bloody fighting, which lasted long. after the Germans made their spec- tacular aerial descent. The Cretans did not hesitate to help the British forces, while the island was under enemy occu- pation. Thousands of both sexes and all ages were slaughtered by the Germans on ofie charge alone—that of having assisted British soldiers, sailors and air men to reach safety. In its effort to reimburse the mem- bers of the underground forces in Crete, | the Commission attempted to reward “| 329 persons. It reports that “2,264 refused to accept a single penny.” In many cases the offer of compensation was met with expressions of wounded pride. The reader should note that only | <ty-five persons out of 2,329 accepted | y Money from the British, although the | island of Crete was severely demaged, | with sections of towns and whole villages completely destroyed. No doubt the peo- ple, in many instances suffered from the lack of cash funds which makes their re- fusal to accept money from the British the more unusual. In fact, their action justifies the com- ment of British officers who say that it is | a record “possibly” unique in the world. This may not be of importance but is of interest: Since the first English colony | in Virginia, Americans have lived a longer | life under a king than under a president. However, we would not desire to £0 back to a kingdom merely for the sake of a few more years to live. i . ‘A TRUE EXPRESSION In no other calling in life are there so many surprises as occur in elections. Some- times it appears on the surface that this man will win, but when the ballots are counted his opponent is elected by what is called a comfortable majority. Aware of frequent upsets of that nature, it would be foolish to assume with any degree of certainty that any man in any given race will be the victor at’ the polls. Yet, as The Citizen said in an arti- cle Tuesday afternoon, its representa- tives, after a careful survey of the senti- ment throughout the city, felt confident that Bernie C. Papy would win in the first primary, and it was to him to whom The Citizen referred in its story. Another thing: we were present when a voter told Gerald Saunders three weeks ago he: would be the victor in the first primary. Mr. Saunders’ brow wrinkled, and half a minute passed before he said, *T hope so.” Almost every day after that, Mr. Saunders, evidently spurred on by that hope, remarked that he has visited this or that place, where he received encourag- ing news, but he, was always wise enough to remark, “I realize that either of my opponents may make the rounds and feel similarly after he has made them.” As to Mr. Papy, we had written the ‘Story about the indication he would win in the first primary, when one of Key West’s outstanding business men entered our office. We mentioned to him that it ap- peared Mr. Papy would be the victor in the first primary, and the business man replied: “That’s the way it looks to me.” The most enheartening thing about the election locally is that we know the | outcome is the true sentiment of the peo- ple of Monroe county. The re-registration, which resulted from a law sponsored by Mr. Papy in the last session of the legisla- ture, and the installation of the voting machines, the credit for which goes to the Monroe county commission, provided two factors that kept the ballot inviolate—a true expression of the sentiment of the people. Sugar coating is all right for children but adults are supposed to take medicine, and facts, straight. OIL FROM MUD A few years from now atomic-age techniques may make possible the conver- sion of sea-bottom mud into petroleum. This startling statement came from the American Chemical Society. It just goes to show how foolish it is to make grave predictions about American oil resources. Much of the oil that is being used today could not have been drawn from the earth a generation ago, when a petroleum famine was predicted in twenty-five years. But the scientists and the petroleum in- dustry have always succeeded in pushing the prognosticators out on a limb and saw- ing it off with technology. Eventually the prophets of exhaustion may give up. Scientists are developing the theory that crude oil is formed by the radioactive transformation of organic substances. They are duplicating in the laboratory the radioactive process that may explain how nature, over a period of ten million years, accomplishes the conversion of proto- plasm, proteins, fats, and other materials, into oil. The moral seems to be to make the fullest use of the resources available to us today, and tomorrow will take care of itself{—if we let the scientists and indus- try alone. A smart investor usually puts his money into an enterprise about which he { knows something. COST OF STRIKES TO WORKERS It is interesting to get from an author- itative source what strikes have cost the workers measured by the time it will take to make up the loss. The January issue of the Official Monthly Survey published | by the American Federation of Labor, points out that if workers earning $1 an hour are offered an increase of 12¢ by their employer, but go on strike and stay out for eight weeks in order to obtain an | a of 18c, they will lose $358 in pay | ight weeks of 40 hours at $1.12); and | ° | that the 6c increase obtained by the strike | | pe = knights, . end of the lists ‘ cisely opposite ‘to each other, the leader of each party beii centre of the foremost The marshals then wi from the lists, and of thunder, pronot -words—Laissez al trum: pets sounded—the spears of the champions were at once lowered | de- and iplaced in the res‘ the two foremost ranks of either party rushed upon each other in ‘ull gallop, and met in the middle of the lists with a shock, tl sound of which was heard at a mile’s distance, ae petuces of the en- counter were instan . for the dust raised by the tram |.

Both display great feats of gallantry. They re- peatedly endeavoured to single out each other, spurred mutual animosity. Such, however, was the crowd and_ confusion, that, during the earlier part of the conflict, their efforts to meet were unavailing. But when the field beca thin the Templar] and the Disinherited Knight at, length encountered -hand to hand, with all the fury that mortal ani- mosity, joined to riv of honour, could inspire. vy. the Disinherited Knight a champion in black armour, This knight had hitherto evinced very little interest in the event of} the fight, beating off with seem- ing ease those combatants who attacked him, but neither pursu- ing his advantages, nor himself assailing any one. > At once this knight seemed to throw aside his apathy, when he discovered the leader of his party, so hard bested; for, sett: spurs 'to his horse, he came to his as- sistance like a thunderbolt, ex- claiming, in a voice like a trum- pet-call, “Desdichado, to the res- cue!” With a blow that shattered his sword, he sent Front-de-Beeuf. san on the ground, then wrenching Athelstane’s battle- axe from his hand he stretched him senseless with a buffet on the crest.

John Howes said. g The schooner points to the north toward the section base and the captain said he will let the stern out with a spring line and with the booms and sails on the port side of the vessel. This will bring her off the dock, he said, along with the tide. He will tha: make a port tack and bring the sails on the starboard side and so sail up to a mooring in Man-of- War harbor. the Lady Rowena. i He tottered as they guided him.

(To be continued) The schooner has a leak, suf- fered during a northwester in the | Straits off Cuba, but has repaired itself by swelling. The ship needs caulking, Capt. Howes said. Eighty-two thousand dollars have been spent on the vessel, which has been used on sixday! cruises on the west coast of Flor- ida from St. Petersburg.
