ORACLE. : —_— * 4 LARGEST OMRELATION ; ; From don: igomes the claim of a Stnday newspa- per, The News of the World, to a circulation of 8,112,383, which seems td’ be something of a record. At the same time, the British press has been under fire from various critics, who haVe tsought an -ipvesti-! gation of its finances, con- trol, management and own- ership. é The influence. of, the press} is tremendous and it is im-; portant for all the facts wbout the financing, control, management and ownership of every publication to be public property. In the Unit- ed States, this is approached hy the statement of, circula- tion, which the newspapers have to make in connection with their Second Class mailing permit. it should not be presum- ed,“ however, that the re- quirements of the Post Of- fice Department in this country are enough to reveal the control of all publica- tions. There are ways to avoid revealing the connec- tion of interests and persons and this has been done. Thesfact of the matter is that the publication of a modern daily, in many cities of large size, requires con- siderable capital. Moreover, possession of what amounts to almost exclusive fran- chises make it difficult to inaugurate a successful daily. While some criticism has been directed against the press and press associations of the United States, the fact-remains that, by and large, newspapers of this country are fairly independ- | ent. There are exceptions, of course. Some newspapers reflect special interests and others peculiar idiosyncra-} cies of their owners. When these affiliations and predi- lections are known, the pub- lie ig, amply. protected. lolerance is a state of mu- tgat ‘concessions. Freedom, to some people, means the right to <eea | aia trespass. the Republican leaders com- exclus- | ‘Republican leaders. | Key Westers told The Citi- AROUSED It was noticeable that not vot Key West In a single topnotcher among’ mented on the suggestion, | mace by a Democratic sena- tor, that Truman resign as president. We can merely guess] what was the actuating mo- tive behind the silence of the} veral: zen their opinion was that the Republicans might have thought there was a catch in} the suggestion, as it came from a Democratic source.’ But The Citizen believes that the reason for the sil- ence was because the Re- publicans considered the suggestion ridiculous. Tt was the twenty-seventh time a similar condition had, occurred during off-year congressional elections. The) victors, in every instance,' shouted from the housetops about the things they were} going to do when they as-, sumed their duties in the congress. How well do we recall the hullabaloo the Democrats: raised in 1912 when they returned to power in Wash: ington after 16 years of Re- publican rule! crats were power-hungry politicians, after 16 years as’ | a minerity party in congress, and the. Republicans are, power-hungry now, follow- party in congress. Many of the things the Democrats said they were | going to do in 1912, when | Woodrow Wilson was elect- | ed president over Taft and Theodore Roosevelt, were never done, and many of the | things the Republicans say {now they are going to do | will not be done. | However, The Citizen | trusts they will succeed ‘in | cutting down the huge ex- penditures of the federal government, with a result- ant:, redugtion:,..in taxes. Sinee: ‘the Deimocrats, assumed offseefifij March of 1938,+ the: : mal govern-: ment.) has i throwing taxpayers” ‘1 iy to the four ‘winds!4t ids been nuz- zling deeper’ ind deeper in- to miitters that are essential- ly the concern of the states, andyin adherring to that’ | practi fice, it has whittled down state rights to.a mini-' mum of what they, were. By | giving the states additional, | billions of dollars, the fed- eral? goverhnient “has been steadily increasing its pow- er in the internal affairs of. \ the states. Besides, as Sena- tor Byrd ‘of’ Virginia» has. pointed out frequently, the government has been con-: | stantly continuing the ac- quisition of more and more land in the states, thereby depriving the their subdivisions of many millions of dollars that, oth- erwise, would have been paid in taxes. Those are the conditions. that aroused an overwhelm- ing majority of the people on Tuesday to vote against Democrats. Tired people have an amazing energy for “having fun.” Political changes produce utopias but they may help. Baseball players, after being released by one team, often set the league afire, by playing with an- other. WHO IS FRIGHTENED? Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt says that there is no reason | “frightened” by Russia, be- cause we are the strongest | nation in the world. ' While there may be a few Americans “frightened” by Russia, we think that the lady misunderstands the concern o fthe American} people. It is not necessary to be frightened to prefer to | avoid another destructive war. The United States was the strongest nation in the world when Hitler and his Axis al- lies went on the rampage. not prevent our becoming involved in the war and it did not save the lives of our fighting men. \ The Derno-|. ing 16 years as a minority| states and} i rarely for the United States to be}> The fact of our strength did} Zé; (Bnew America) jie Adams, sine | Starts Tonight Days Gone By’ Sian dk cea 9 tines | Pig af por < i ;} Firs assem!

Mrs. William R. Warren, chair- man of the citizens advisory com- mittee of the community welfare fund, said yesterday contribu~- tions are now being made more rapidly. Chief Deputy Sheriff Bernard ‘Waite said today that he had ob- tained the names of three boys ‘believed to be members of a gang that has been committing’ depredations in the Havana- American and Santaella cigar factories. Funeral services for Mrs. Mary Watlington Johnson, 90, who died at 1:30 o’clock yesterday morn- ing in her home at 820 Division’ » street, will be held tomorrow af- ternoon in St. Paul's Church.
