PACE TWO by : AS YESTERDAY Clem C. Price, president of the Key West Chamber of Commerce, announced, through The Citizen, that the Key West lighthouse will be reopened to the pub- lic. He also notes that the lighthouse was constructed fe eo eee £00: years. ago. THE ee Pe ae a long time tbat int The Associated t, if a resident o: ey fvely entitled to use Woe ; se tion of all news ¢ etree West in that day, were his paper and aise the local news alive today, he would not maintain that his boyhood days appeared to be only a short time ago. In a remin- iseent mood, he would re- call happenings in the days of his youth that seemed to PE i RATES 06 | past. That attitude would be in keeping with what the Bible says: “A thousand years, when they are past ot will chareea for at the rate of 10 gents @ line Notices for whish'auretgue churches from ie es os iniltg dissaatet” oP palt Tatas int Bing rs rt wit not D c : feations, Confirmation of that truth may be obtained from any to those among them who as it is always referred to, that wiped out almost all ‘the business houses in Key West 60 years ago.

Watchfully, E ORACLE.’ ON’S BIRTHDAY: ': ly of the people.of the n States will celebrate Degéember 28 a: e-anniver- _the birth of Wood- ilson, the twenty- eig President of this country. ¥ . Wilson, after a‘ dis- ting@ished career‘as an ‘edu- eatoy, entered’ politics in NewsJersey, becoming Gov- ernor. and was subsequently | eleeted President when! there«was a split in the Re-| publican Party in 1912. While his administration was marked by progressive reforms on the domestic front, it will-go down in his- tory in connection with the first World War. As the! timd came to write the trea-| ty of. peace, the American President attended the con- ferehee in Paris and fought vigorously to have the treaty contain the Covenant of the League of , Nations, with vovisiong, which, he hoped, Would atoid another war. There is no need, upon thimeceasion, tg.go into the bitter fight that the League proposal precipitated in the United States. Sufficient to say that the United States did not accept the League, despite the prophecy of the President that unless it functioned effectively, an- other World War would be inevitable. RUSSIA’S “FRIENDLY” ADVICE TO IRAN The franian Government has advised the United Na- tions Security Council that its decision to send troops into Azerbaijan Province, where a pro-Soviet party is in control, has been follow- ed by a “friendly admoni- tion” from the Soviet Am- bassador that the move might result in “disturb- ances” ip the province and on the border with Russia, The situation in Iran was discussed by the Security| Council early this year and it was reported that Soviet troops had been withdrawn, Apparently, the interest of Russia in the province con tinues, but it is difficult to understand why the Govern- ment of. Iran cannot send troops into the province to keep order and to prevent, about your past life, it will appear to you woefully short. . “I have lived only a day,” | said ; a’, 72;year-old philos- opher, quoted by James Bos- ell,:‘thecause every day s beewthe same.” ‘ Everybedy has diversifi- cations in‘his life, and that condition. applied also to the - philokopher, but what he said about the sameness of life is true nonetheless, You are @ young man? When you become an old jmaan,.veur. youth will be to yoy.as of yesterday. Religion is not the prerog- ative of the ignorant. The author who sees noth- ing but.dirt in humanity is as big a fool as the writer who sees nothing but good- ness. FOR A DURABLE PEACE “We can now proceed to lay the foundation of a dur- able peace,” declared Brit- ish Foreign Secretary Ern- est Bevin, as he left this country for London after attending the conference of Foreign Ministers and the nieetings of the United Na- tions. His optimism, based up- on the results of the par- leys, was reflected by Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Mo- lotov who said the resulis were as “satisfactory” to the Soviet as to the “other delegations” and predicted]: similar success for the meet- | { ing of the foreign ministers in Moscow in the Spring when an effort will be made to get through with ihe framing of the peace treaty for Germany. The statements are en- couraging but the fact of the international situation, at the present time, is that! the peace of he world de- pends almost entirely upon the decision of the Soviet government as to whether it wishes to cooperate with other nations or not. So far} as we can judge, and we na-j| turally view matters from the standpoint of this na- tion, the western democra-| ca cies have made every rea- son able concession to the Soviet in the hope of dispel!l- ing the suspicion that seems | { to permeate Russian think- ing upon international ques: tions, 4 revolutionary faction from ¢atablishing an autonomous government, “i THE KEY WEST CITIZEN @ 'For Lawyer Confab JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dee 27.
