Further, if he makes a statement, he should not entertain a mo- ment’s hesitancy in backing it up. Despite those self-evident facts, a good many persons express their thoughts and then, if the thoughts are written, are ashamed or afraid to sign them. Repeatedly, The Citizen has stated that it will not publish anonymous letters, and yet they continue to be received by the editors. In times of contention, such as are now prevailing unsigned letters received by The Citizen shows a decided increase. ‘ Thus, since Dave King| and Commissioner Sweeting resigned, letter after letter, with no signature, has been mailed to The Citizen. Most letters favor King and Sweeting and some are} against them, for or against, The Citizen, in no circumstance, will pub- lish_an anonymous letter.

S.| Navy in the Mediterranean is two cruisers and two de-j stroyers, but we believe that the “fleet’’ has been concen- trated-at Trieste. The rivalry of Yugoslav- ia and Italy over this port has resulted in an interna- tional tug-or-war that car- ries certain dangerous possi- bilities. The fact that Russia has backed the claim of Yugoslavia makes the problem more serious. Undoubtedly, the Yugoslav- ian forees in the area far outnumber those of the Unit- ed States, and Great Britain, which, it sems to us, make an explosive situation. The fact that the United States has dispatched cruis- ers into the harbor of Trieste is what the diplomats would call a “demonstration of strength,” It tends to em- phasize the interest of this country in the peaceable settlement of the Trieste question but, in our opinion, the «nation. should immed- iately dispatch additional warships:into the Mediteran- ean in order to let Russia know very clearly that we are interested in- any. at- tempt té’settle war questions in that area. Do you ever finish all of tomorrow's work tomorrow - trillion miles from the earth. | Just how the scientific} experts managed to pick up the light ray from Vega and transmit it through a photo- electric cell through -tele- phone wires and then to the huge globe is something that we do not understand. For that matter, who knows ex- actly how the scientists as- certained that Vega is twenty - eight light - years from the earth or that it is several times brighter than the sun? While we canot explain the technical details by which the scientist manages to discover the secrets of the tremendous universe, of which this earth is such an infinitesimal fragment, there is no reason to doubt the ac-| curacy of their information. By study, by test and by} experiment, the scientist re-| veals the full truth of na-| ture and nothing is to be| gained by deriding the truth, | even if it shatters some of our prejudices. The work of the scientists is not understood by many | Americans but, then, for} that matter, the work of some average American citi-} zen is not understood by) many scientists. An expert) astronomer, for example, might have difficulty in cul- tivating a field and produc- ing a crop, but he is too; smart to dispute the fact that farmers have the know- how and that harvests in-} evitably follow proper meth- ods and proper conditions. sfons of — views ‘of its read- editor renerves ti . items which or upwar- ‘The writers should be and write on one side Signature of the writers must my the letters amd will be pubfished on- lesa requested otherwixe. ti RO!
