CARL ACKERMAN, Dean, School of Journalism, Columbia Uniyersity. MONOGRAPHS To The American Legion Everywhere: Baseball is the great American classic, in the opinion of this writer, and the American Legion de- serves a general vote of thanks for what it is doing to stimulate the game among the ngsters of the nation. The bene- fits derived are imponderable. THE ORACLE. ONE WAY TO WA The will to peace, declares Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson, is not suffi- cient to prevent war but, on the contrary, unless supported by ready military re- sources, may invite attack. Mr. Patterson says that the people of this country should not close their eyes to the fact that the world is ruled by force, with great nations regarding war as a legitimate weapon of national expansion. He points out that, in view of this attitude, the weak have no rights which the strong regard, In connection with this statement by the Secretary of War, we should under- stand that the United States is, undoubt- edly; the wealthiest area in the world. Consequently, if any nation goes into war withathe aggressive design of getting some- thing from military efforts, the United States is the outstanding target for at- tacky GOQD ADVICE TO LABOR “The working people of this nation are hot reyolutionists,” declares Daniel J. Tobih, president of the Internationa] Brotherhood of Teamsters, in advising la- bor unions to “scrupulously obey” the Taft-Hartley labor act. Mr. Tobin makes it perfectly plain that labor, in general, resents the law but he points out that those who talk about a gen; eral. strike are playing “into the hands of the communists.” He adds that nothing would please the communists of Russia more than confusion or defiance of the laws of the country. This is good advice to members of lg- bor unions throughout the country. They should not hesitate to follow the adyice of Mr. Tobin, “to meen their heads and yse theiy brains.” _———_.. The Fourth of July will be a sie holi- day; with a hundred or so Americans dying in avoidable accidents. eee “STICKTOITIVENESS” “Sticktoitiveness” is something that never has been practiced consistently in City Hall. Oldtime Key Westers are well aware that the present city commission, or-some of its members, are not the only ones in the city’s history who have issued one or- der today and changed it tomorrow. That has been going on ever since Key West has been Key West. But the city commission has been given timely warning about changing of the zoning law. One day we are told thet a gertain area is given this or that alphabet- ical classification, and the next day the restriction is changed. As was pointed out at a meeting of {he Be | sognjesion on Tuesday, persens disposed to construct homes have no unbreakable asurance that the zoning law will be modi- fied so that a shack may be built or myved in beside a house that cost $10,000 or more. However, changes are not confined to zoning laws. A street is made a one-way street, friends or relatives possess the ear of a commissioner to make a change. and the street is either made a two-wi thoroughfare, or the direction of the traf- fic is changed for a block or more, or parking is permitted on both sides of the street. Fleming street, for instance, has un- dergone a variety of changes, and jt is really surprising that only one change has been made since Duval became a one-way street. It runs both ways now from Di- vision to the beach, which is not objection- able, but if suffieient pressure is brought to bear on the commission, it would not be surprising if the two-way order would be extended to Olivia, or Petronia, or Angela street. It would be wise for officials to styff their ears, when they conscientiously feel they have a good law, to suggestions from relatives, friends or anybody else to weaken the provisions of the law. That is particularly true of zoning regulations. Consider well before they are made, but, once adopted, they should be adherred to as an assurance to a builder that he won’t. find his well-built home in company with a shack. The American policy at present is to react on Russian action, Most of us are easily persuaded to ac- cept the advice of those who te] us to do what we want to do. PREDICTS GOOD BUSINESS “Good business” in the latter part of this year is predicted by Gordon K. Creigh- ton, assistant general manager of the Na- tional Retail Drygoods Assaciation. He be- lieves that economic laws are now working with the merchant and for the consumer and that people will not haye to take goods that they do not want. The gentleman is talking, of course, about apparel in the main. He predicts that, during the coming Fall season, ev- erybody will be able to get the materials they want, in the qualities they want, in the colors most becoming to them and in | their own sizes. This will be something of a change from conditions that have endured for the past few years. lt is pleasant to contem- Plate the prospective stocks of merchan- dise, so ample for consumer needs and all that we have to be sure about is that the consumer wijl continue to have the money to purchase what he wants. President Truman, like the Russians, ig enamored of the veto. The rogd to war may be long or short but it moves in a definite direction. TRAGEDY AVERTED oa aoa One of the tragedies connected with children has been the unfortunate soffoca- tion of little tots who, in a game of hide- and-seek, crawl into an old ice box and in- advertently lock themselves in. We have read numerous stories telling of the upfortunate death of children’ under these circumstances. Despite the frantic search of parents ang friends, the young- “ have not been discovered yptil too a A happier ending to such an aecident regently occurred in Albany, New York, where a four-year-old, hiding from friends in @ game, was shyt up in an ice box for eighteen hoyrs but was discovered in time to recover from cuts and bruises suf- fered in attempts to free himself.
