Lord Halifax, retiring British Am- beseador to the United States, arrived in this country in March, 1941, when his country was under sore pressure and served well re cause of British-American amity. During his five years as Ambassador he visited every state in the Union and now pays tribute to the kindness with which he was received. Once a news boy on the train pinned « “MacArthur for President” on his lapel, which was somewhat embarrassing to an Ambassador but he did not remove it for fear of hurting the boy's feelings. He ad- mits, however that whenever anyone ap- proached he “took evasive action with his handkerchief The British statesman considers 1941 the year of decision in the war, pointing out that on March 11, “Congress passed Lend-lease unparallelied act of large- hearted imagination from one nation to enother” and that in July Hitler “with teful fe aunched his attack on Rus- Declaring that no two countries had ever fought a war with “so complete a | nity of military, industrial and political effort” the British Envoy expressed con- dence that the two nations will continue thelr cooperation in the years of peace. He expresses the view that neither the Japanese, or Hitler, or Mussolini, would have dared aggression if they had known that the combined strength of the United States the British Commonwealth would used block their evil am- bitions and be to BATTLE GOES ON IN BOOKS The books that are beginning to ap- pear about the war will produce a number f violent controversies and it is well for the reader to understand that no one man mows the truth about everything that happened, even in one campaign. For example, Ralph Ingersoll, a form- er Majer and newspaper writer, comes to at in “Top Secrets”, in which he bitterly sessile Field Marshall Montgomery, uses Cherechill as interference and relegates Generals Marshall and Eisnehower to a second place, putting his hero, General Omar Bradley, in the top spot. We do not doubt the sincerity of Mr. Ingersoll in what he writes, but it strikes we that it is somewhat remarkable that he has the temerity to suggest that he alone mews what occurred during the eventful faye of the American offensives. He inti- aes that General Bradley won the vic- tories, often without General LEisen- hower's knowledge and tells of various eidents, which, in his opinions, indicate hat too much attention was paid to the sh and that too many supplies were en them It is all right to read the Ingersoll ume, if you have the time, but if you » se under the impression that you are eceiving theabsolute low-down on every- . then you are not only wasting your e but you are confusing your intellect. . =A lt tie By A friend in deeds is a friend indeed. ee eee A collector is a man whom few care » see, but many ask to call again REDUCED TO A MINIMUM City Judge Enrique Esquinaldo, Jr., wielded two hammers and hit both nails on the head when he said that the chief reasons for juvenile delinquency are bale- ful home environment and lack of whole- some recreation. | Improper training in the home was placed at the read of the list by Judge Esquinaldo, lax, and, due to that laxity, he-told of cases that had come to his attention of mothers who were active in trying to stop juvenile delinquency, while in their very homes the children were permitted to do as they pleased. Imagine in the old days, he declared, of girls under 18 going out alone at night and staying out till midnight or later, go- ing to night clubs, in some instances, with men of only a few hours’ acquaintance; imagine boys in their early teens staying out as long as they pleased at night, and, on returning home, were rebuked mildly or not rebuked at all. “Tell me what his homelife is, and I’ll tell you what kind of boy he is.” That is a true saying, with some ex- ceptions, of course. We have known of boys and girls with good home environ- ment who have gone astray, and have known of boys and girls whose home en- vironment was poor, and who grew up to be good men and women, But the exceptions make the rule more glaring. Any day you may hear a remark to the effect that a boy is what he is because he has had no proper home training. 3 As to recreation, Judge Esquinaldo stressed the point that children have ex- cess energy.that must be used up in some way. If they are not provided with whole- some recreation they will resort frequently to unlawful acts in using up that excess energy. Thus, it is commendable that clubs are being organized among Key West boys in the Police Athletic League, and that the Key West Recreation department has provided a camp for boys in Poinciana. Give boys nad girls proper home life and a place to expend their surplus vital- ity, and juvenile delinquency will be re- duced to a minimum. Marriage may be, and often is,-only curiosity. | Somebody says that the world is be- ing led by the poet; so that is our trouble! “Through these portals walk the finest people of the world.” A Flagler street sign in Miami before a construction pro- ject. Yes, and some of the worst crooks imaginable. JUDGES DECIDE THE LAW Senator Styles Bridges, of New Hamp- shire, wants all future appointees to the Supreme Court to promise to refrain from political action and to refuse to lend their names to various movements of a public character. There is something to the suggestion of the Senator. There was a time when it was the general opinion in the United States that a man, appointed to the U. S. Supreme Court, would divorce himself from future political ambitions and devote himself to an effort to be utterly impartial in the consideration of judicial matters. While it is probably true that a majority of the members of the Court have made an earnest effort to attain this ideal, it cannot be denied that the personal, political and economic philosophies of the jurists are reflected in the decisions of the highest tribunal]. This was true in the days when conservatives wrote majority opin- ions and it is true today. While there is specific provision in law, giving the Supreme .Court the right to set aside an act of Congress as uncon- stitutional, the power was early assumed by the Court and has been exercised so long as to be generally accepted. The result is that the laws of Con- gress, just as the laws of various states, when seriously questioned, must pass the test of the jurists, who very often resort to the device of declaring laws unconstitu- tional because they are unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious. 3 Obviously, these words mean one thing to a man of one philosophy and an- other to an exponent of a different philos- ophy. Consequently, the validity of a law depends upon the personal predilections of a majority of the Court passing upon it. and nobody can _ conscien- tiously question that view. In most cases, as he pointed out, the environment is not what could be characterized as bad; it is Chapter 14 ‘RONT-DE-BOEUF made‘ sig- nal for the slaves to approach, own language. The Saracens pro- duced from their baskets a quan- tity of pL a pair of bellows, and a < of oil. While the on struck a light with a flint and steel, the other disposed the char- coal in the large rusty grate which we have already, mentioned, and exercised the bellows until the fuel came to a ted glow. “Seest thou, Isaac,” said Front- de-Boeuf, “on that warm couch thou shalt lie, stripped of thy clothes as if thou wert to rest on. a bed of down. Now, choose be- twixt such a scorching bed and the payment of a thousand pounds of silver; for, by the head ot my father, thou hast no other option.” “T will pay,” he said, “the thou- sand pounds of silyer. When and where must it be deiivered?” “Here,” replied Front-de-Beeuf, “here weighed it must be—weighed and told down on this very dtingeon floor.—Thinkest thou I will part with thee until thy ransom is se- cure?” “And what is to be my surety,” said the Jew, “that I shall,be at liberty after this ransom is paid?” “The word of a Norman noble,” answered Front-de-Beeuf; “the faith of a Norman nobleman, and spoke to them apart, in their}: it. must. be delivered—| thee, and meddle not with those of 5 gina, 3; ee iy “T am, then,” said Isaac, “orl; to be set at liberty, together with} mine, wo’ friend?” “Shall I twice recommend it,’ said Front-de-Boeuf, “to a son of Israel, to meddie with his own| concerns, and leave those of others’ alone?” “Let my daughter Rebecca go ork,” answered Isaae, “with your safe conduct, noble. knight, and so soon as man and horse can return, the treasure shall be told down on this very floor.” i ‘Thy daughter!” said Fr de-Beeuf, .as if -surprised,—“By héavens, Isaac, I would I had known of this.

He availed himself of |his enlargement to.throw himself on the pavement, and clasp the knees of Front-de-Boeuf. “Take all that b you have asked,” said he, “Sir Knight—take ten times more—reduce me to ruin and to beggary, if thou wil spare my daughter, deliver her in safety and honour!

The Jew groaned deeply.— “Grant me,” he said, “at least with my own liberty, that of the companions with whom I travel. They scorned me as a Jew, yet they pitied my desolation, and because they tarried to aid me by the way, a share of my evil hath come upon them; moreover, they may contribute in some sort to my _ransom.” “If thou meanest yonder Saxon churls,” said Front - de - Beuf, “their ransom will depend upon other terms than thine. Mind thine own concerns, Jew, I warn wish that his. only living child were laid beside her dead mother, in the tomb of our fathers?” “I would,”. said the Norman, somewhat relenting, “that I had known of this before.” “Think not so vilely of us, Jews though we bé,” said Isaac, eager to improve the moment of ap- parent sympathy; “the hunted fox, the tortured. wild-cat loves its young—the despised and perse- cuted race of Abraham love their children!” “Be it so,” said Front-de-Boeuf; “I will believe it in future, Isaac, for thy very sake—but it aids us not now, I cannot help what! has happened, or what: is to follow. Besides, why shouldst thou think evil is to come to the girl, even if she became Bois-Guilbert’s booty?” PEOPLE'S FORUM The Citizen’ welcomes expres- sions of the views mus/{ and entertainment.
