Ken- ney, commanding our Strate- vie Air Forces, says that the United States will be the No. 1 priority on the list of | “offensives” of the next ag- | gressor. He also predicted that the nation would have no breathing space for in-| dustrial expansion to pro-j duce a war machine to de- , feat the aggressor. | While many military ex- | perts do not agree with General Kenney that the at- tack will come across the North Polar spaces, there is no reason to suspect his sin- Ss cerity and certainly h concerned over the possibil- | ity that piloted and pilot- less aircraft, radio controll- ed missiles and rockets— all loaded with atomic bombs, incendiaries, bac- ; terial weapons and whatev- | er the destructive agency the enemy has been able to develop—can inflict a casul- ty list of millions in “the first twenty-four hour: It is y for pacifists to| snort derisively, ‘‘brass-hat,” not for the is American citizen to and it average accept without r rve the staggering immer y of the threat foreseen by the air- minded General. Neverthe- less, because of its possibil- ity, the nation should take no risk. It is the business of statesmanship to be for what might easy wise prepared happen. pes sere teria | SAFETY IN THE AIR | Publicity recently given to accidents on the airlines | of the United States and| elsewhere in the world has created the impression that | flying more dangerous! than ever before. | This is a mistaken impres- sion. The safety record for 1946, according to W. Av-| evell Harriman, Secretary of | Commerce, was forty per} cent better than that for) 1945. Peace ideal but it is} never to be purchased by ab-| ject surrender of funda- mental Hight is The truest tribute to the | dead is not to praise them, but to practice the prir ciples for which their lives were outstanding, ‘out an | American dollars, | tion, POOR MILLIONAIRE Your bond is as good as the American dollar behind it. That was the theme of a sermon The Citizen preach- ed throughout the war in advising Key Westers to buy United States bonds. Today the American dol- lar is standard throughout the world, and, if the pur- chased bonds and still have them, you can convert them into that dollar at any time you wish, And how dees the dellar stand among the monetary units of the world? Exehange rates favor the dollar in every instance. And what has been its chief reason in maintaining its high value throughout the e world? Because the leaders in the United States fought consistently against infla- tion. At times it appeared it was a losing battle, but the fight was _ intensified, and, as long ago as six months, Washington issued assurances that we were coming out of the trend to- ward inflation. We may sense a feeling of pride that, had we been clutched by inflation, the dollar would not have fallen to so low a level as has the Chinese dollar, an Associat- ed Press story about which was published in The Citi- zen on Tuesday. But nobody can foretell what inflation will lead to in any eountry. Had paper money been is- sued as recklessly in the United States as it was in Germany after the first World War, or as it is being issued in China at the pres- ent time, its depreciation | would have wrecked eco- |nomie conditions in this country as it wrecked them | in Germany and is wrecking | them in China. Many a_ millionaire in | China today is barely eking With 60; existence. were you in China, you could buy more than one million dol-} lars of Chinese $1,050,000, money, or but if that was ‘all the money you had, you would be a poor millionaire. iverybody has his trou- bles, but only quitters ad- vertise their difficulties. ‘THE PHILADELPHIA RECORD’ HAS FOLDED The Philadelphia Record has folded up. It was one of the great newspapers of the country, but it met a tragic death. J. David Stern was top-man of the Record. The American Newspaper Guild j began a strike against the Record, November 7 of. last | finally the year, and shers of the pub-| Record ac- | knowledged that they were beaten—so they sold the | publication and all its rights | turning | “down the river,” over its good will and sub scription lists to its competi-| tors. That threw out of em- ployment the wreckers— 600 members of the Guild and 800 other employes. That brings strikes “right home” for all publishers of newspapers throughout the United States, inasmuch as this is one of the most tragic events that has occurred in their industry. Excitable men and women continue attempts to destroy so-called “capitalism.” That is a mess on our doorsteps. Charity is as good for the giver as it is for those who need a a helping hand.

Ornamental shrubs, palms, and flowering plants, furnished by the children from each elass ‘in the Division Street ‘School, have’ been set out by the youngsters themselves. Mrs. Louise Evans, Junior Red Cross teacher-spgn- | sor, organized the work. - Flower beds around the large trees on the grounds were given special attention, as well as areas close to the building itself. Seeds, cuttings, and young plants were obtained from the children’s. par- ents or from friends. Each class plot. At Douglas School, under the supervision of St. Elmo Greaux, principal, Junior Red Cross mem- | bers brought coconut palms, Australian pines, and crotons, Boys from the 10th, 11th and 12th grades made the plantings, €rotons were set in hedges. Mrs. Fernando Camus, chair- man of the Junior Red Cross, Key West Chapter, American Red Cross, in commenting on the project, pointed out that the beautification work is typical of the organization’s program of eombining learning with con- structive civic activity at an early age. It is planned to ex- pand the planting project to oth- er schools, she said. The original El Dorado was a fabulous land of gold and silver which 16th century Spaniards be- | lieved existed somewhere in the} Andes highlands.
