TAT KEEP ATOMIC SECRET UNTIL— Declaring that the offer of the United States to give up the atomic bomb, a new and tremendously power- ful weapon, is, ‘‘an act un- paralielied in history,” Dr. Herbert V. Evatt, Australian “Minister of External Af- fairs,:says that insistence by this country of a control system is justified, not only by the interests of the Unit- ed States >itself, but of all peaee-loving nations. We call attention to this observation of the outstand- ing statesman of Australia beeause there is a tendency on the part of some scient- ists to say no peace will last unless the United States im- mediately releases the full secrets of the atomic bomb. To give away this secret, without establishing before- hand a control system, would be an.act of stupidity. Until the nations of the world are willing to get to- wether and formulate an ef- fective control system, ade- guarantee the safety of all nations, the United States is completely justified in retaining, as long as it can, the secret of the atomic bomb. TRUMAN GIVES REASONS In giying his approval ta the- bill. providing a credit of $3,750,000,000 to Great (Britain, President Truman called the financial agree- ment “a major step in carry- ing out our program for re- vivying and expanding inter- national trade.” The Chief Executive said that the loan served our “immediate and long-range interests by helping to re- store world trade,” “or to remove the danger of rival and -antagonistic economic blees” and) while based on _“considérations of broad MieiGinterest,” helped to solve the problem which “Britain faces as the direct consequence of having de- voted her human, spiritual and material resources so fully to the common cause.” If these conelusions of the President are correct, and we think they are, his statements provide every American with adequate reasons for giving their ap- proval to the action of Con- gress in providing the unpre- ro ht, loan, Drive carefully — you may meet a dope. The danger in ignorance is that so many people have it without the least suspect- ing it. When you find an individ- ual who knows everything, give him no advice and, above all else, take none. — llya Bhrenburg, the Rus- sian journalist, recently a visitor in the United States, says Americans gesticulate legs than with their hands.

West. will.get an air- port entry either ‘at the county’s Boca Chica base or at Meacham Field, ac- cording to a statement given The Citizen by customs men. With no railroad ‘operat- ing to and from Key West, air travel will increase in portance in Key West. ‘We have a magnificent highway, connecting us with the mainland, but we need plane service also, and the more extensive the service the better it will be for our city. vana, and to the northeast, Miami, and each is less than an hour’s travel by plane away. As for Havana, 90 miles distance, Key Westers, who have made the trip there by air, have informed that it was much like stepping into the plane and stépping out again, so quick- ly/ were the trips made. Py The county will get back {from the federal ~ govern- ment a 1,000-acre air field on Boca Chiea, which, size for size, will compare favor- ably with any other flying field in the country. It was a lueky stroke of business in the city’s acquiring the Boca Chica base. The land cost taxpayers of the county’ $40,- 000, plus interest ‘on the bonds that were issued to buy. the field, Interest and. principal on the bonds were paid promptly, and for the $40,000 the people of the county will get back a field estimated to be worth more than $2,000,000. Besides, while the coun- ty’s part of the Boca Chica base is used for commercial purposes, the Navy will con- tinue to operate its part of the field, comprising more than 1,000 acres, which the government purchased. We have facilities for fly- ing; let’s get aviation com- panies to usé the facilities. Common sense is a gift from nature;, too many do not have this gift. NO CONNECTION. An Associated Press dis- patch says that in view of the loan to Great Britain, the question now is how much money this nation may be expected to loan to other foreign nations and whether Congress will pro- vide the funds. The fact that the United States sees fit to extend eredit to Great Britain does not, in itself entitle any other nation to expect a loan from this country. Each na- tion should stand on its own merits and, if the interest of the United States sug- gests that a loan is advis- able, the credit should be given. Of course, the Russians have asked for a loan of $1, 000,000,000. In connection with the economy of the post-war world, this should be considered. ‘Tt “‘wotth@' be very foolish; however, to make a loan solely because the nation made, a. loan; to Great Britain: Regardless of what you hear, or read, the human race is improving through- out the world. GOODS AND SAVINGS The value of all produced in the goods United ter of 1946, exceeded $46,- 000,000,000, according to the Department of Com- merce, which says this is a gain of $4,000,000,000 over the first quarter. By comparison, when war production was in full swing in 1945, goods were being produced at a rate of about $52,000,000,000 a quarter. Tt appears that indivyid- uals, however, are not sav- ing anywhere as much money as they did in 1945. During the first six months of this year, net savings of individuals amounted to only half as much. For the first six months of this year, individuals have been saving at an annual rate of $19,- 000,000,000. While this may nat be as much as the ex- perts expected, one might remark that it is not hay.

Eisner. To start at the beginning I became acquainted with Eisner only after his ap- pointment. He was investigated by a private citizen who wired the New York Police Department for his record, and it proved to be A-l. He lately has been ac- ventor, builder of ironclad Moni- Seience “for protection . cused of not possessing the quali- ties of a good leader, of being soft, ete, but if necessary this S0vermments the world over, @ than 2 million Americans moved man can also be very tough. His kindly, just man, born in Sweden.' outside of country since’ Pearl disposition is naturally kind and jolly, so no doubt this has been the reason for judgment. He has made mistakes, plenty of them, but who has not. Suppose you had decided to make your home in a new town, and was offered Confederate guerilla chief, born meat,: but lived on new cheese, | the position of Police Chief. Do you honestly think you could, have done ‘much’ better, in the’ same time, under existing condi- ' tions? I doubt it. | The men under him and the people areund him were strange. ! He was given advice from politi- | ciaps and others of how best to run-the department, and at the same time endeavoring to give the people better police protec- | tion, (I note in last night’s Citizen , a burglar being apprehended in: Bayview Park. Can you remem- ber before of a policeman being im that area?) Eisner was too kind for his own good as we learned when six of his men struck him in the back with affidavits. | He has definitely made im-! provement in the department, this we must admit .The neatness of his men compared favorably with any in the state, and in my, epinion were superior to Miami officers. Courtesy to visitors was constantly drilled into. the men. This has paid off, as I have heard} total strangers express themselves ; as. tothe polite. officers. we-have, Eisner, had, many plans for, the coming winter, season, regarding informations for visitors, and acts | of courtesy. He was to do his part in selling Key West to the tourists. He is a great lover of children, and has done much to} promote their welfare. His out- standing asset was his honesty, a priceless quality for a policeman. T know of no one who can truth- | fully say he was dishonest. Since! resigning I’ve come in contact! with several bar-keepers and al-} leged gamblers, They all tell the || same story: “He never bothered | me, I like the man”, which meant | he never collected or had any} private collectors. I don’t think | we should condemn him for being kind and generous, aithough this Fand even so they may. turn | Most -of us have expected too to develop the trust of a friend, against you in a moment's notice. much of the new government, but I feel sure he could have ironed out «the department in a i year. Let us take stock of our-! selves as a success, the length of time.it has taken, before we see fit to condemn; others. : Anniversaries et t 1763—James Kent, famed New York. jurist and legal commenta- tor, author of the classic “Com- mentaries. on American Law,” born in Putnam Co., Conn.
