We suggest that anyone who is tactless and despised and is not quali- fied mentally and physi- cally as well as morally, should not aspire to pub- lie office and save his and his friends’ (if he has any) money and public in- dignation. THE ORACLE. ee When aeyirsl sh aieistines of | the House of Lords attacked the record of the Soviet Un- ion, alleging that interna- tional agreements had been violated, Lord Pakenham, | Undersecretary of the War| Office, replied for the gov-} peace without the friendship of Russia.” The correctness of the gentieman’s statement can! hardly be questioned. The}| people of the Western na-| tions understand that world|t peace, in the future, depends} absolutely upon the develop- | ment of successful relations with the Soviet Union. They ave also thoroughly persuad-| ed that this is an impossible task unless the Russians are willing to make a definite contribution to peace. Faced with the question of Russia and knowing that the Soviet has the power of determining whether there is war or peace, one wonders| how far the Western na-} tions should go in the effort! of winning the friendship| and confidence of the Rus- sians. In addition, the peo- ples of the freedom-pract ing nations must also deter- mine how far it is safe to go! in the way of disarmament! without complete confidence inthe future attitude and action of the Soviet Union. pee ua SAE The world’s most impor- tant product: true and good; men and women. | ph a A, ea This is a good time in which not to get into debt;! you can buy more later. | The exceptional reader | does not judge an article by| whether it agrees with him.

The Citizen has heard a }good many Key Westers |complain about some radio ‘station announcers talking about the President’s “soak- jing up Florida sunshine,” ‘and, seemingly, deliberately avoiding the mentioning of Key West’s name. But those incidents were | exceptions. Key West had to be mentioned most of the time, and all newspaper datelines had this city’s name. All the millions of | newspaper readers through- out the world knew where! atomic age there should be so the President was “soaking | | up the sunshine.” None of the writers or an- nouncers have explained how the President or any- “soak” up sunshine. It is one of those terms that frequently make of the country, and, with the tendency among men to follow the herd, is repeated by almost srybody without giving a its sig- nificance. ‘ The President basked in it has} tanned and bronzed Key; Westers without basking in| it. But that presidential pub- licity—-what will be its ef- fect on Key West? The}; Citizen believes that the coming winter season will be better than this one, which has been the best in) the history of Key West.| The problem now confront- ing us is to provide suffi- cient accommodations for the tourists who will wish As to President Truman, The Citiben believes, judg- ing by what he has said, that he is “sold” on Key) West. He will be back in June, circumstances permit-|‘ ting his coming. There were ancient civili-| zations in this hemisphere} despite the idea that the first | gleam of intelligence came over with Columbus. CUBA GETS THE BREAKS The published statement |that sugar from Cuba has} | saved the people of the Unit- | ed States $361,000,000 less} than the cost of domestic sugar produced on our own} soil, seems to be an explana- | tion that doesn’t explain. Nobody needs to be told| that the rationing of sugar; plus fiddling with coupons, has been one of, the most annoying “small stuff” of wartime years. Cuban sugar is hooked_up with American capital— and they have grabbed the United States market for the past 40 years. Of course everybody feels friendly to Cuba, but why turn over backwards and freeze out such sugar pro- ducing states as Louisiana, beet industry? It would be very pleasant to agree with the statement ballahooing Cuba but the If world control is a bad let the Russians have it. HOT AND Ci COLD Two months ago the newspaper polls showed | Truman “going down.’ Now, Truman is “up” on an equal with Republicans, in the opinion of the pollsters. The most unpopular poli- ticians are the remnants of the New Deal.

Painted on the closed door appears the following notice: * “If you wish a complete din- ner, do not stop here. Visit the beautiful Rainboow Room in the La Concha Hotel.” At night the sign is illuminated. During the war, this same coffee shop offered $50.00 a week and meals for a dishwasher.

LANGUAGES Editor, The Citizen: It is bizarre indeed that in the many, many languages. These linguistic differences are a perpetual source of misunder- standing among the people of the world. We must face the fact that this basic problem is impeding the progress of civilization. ed Nations meet they are great- ly handicapped unless they have interpreters. These interpreters bridge the medieval gaps among the delegates and make their meetings sensible and successful. Many attempts have been made in the past to create a uni- versal language. However, the first realistic step was taken at the San Francisco Conference | where Anglo-American, French, Russian, Spanish and Chinese/ were designated by the dele- gates as the official languages of the United Nations. Would the fifty delegates have been will-| ing to have gone a few steps fur- ther? | Some people say that people will not change their language | habits.
