THE INNOCENT SUFFERER We call attention to an article, re- cently published in the Woman's Home Companion, dealing with the problems that confront the unwed mother and the difficulties that inevitably face her child in life. The magazine calls attention to the fact that every yeat about 100,000 chil- publish many stories these days about large profits farmers are making in selling their crops. Throughout. Florida, sinte March, excepting for Monroe county, farmers and grovemen have been reaping larger profits than ever before. And yet there was a tiie. whén Mon- roe county planters earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in the course of a year, chiefly from tomato and pineapple crops. As the Florida Keys are frost-free, Monrbde farmers, as a fule, got the benefits of marketing their crops earlier than else- where in the state. Those days, when re- turns from farm and grove products were largé in Monroe, began to decline as the oldtimers died out shortly before or after the turn of the century. . Why did they earn much money in farming while earnings are practically hon-existent today? The soil is there and the climate is as genial now as it was then: | Why, then, does Monroe stand alone in } Florida’s 67 counties as a non-producer of foodstuffs, except in small quantities? The answer may be found in one word ~-work. The oldtimers were not afraid of work. They were from-sun-to-sun workers, as farmers are generally throughout the United States. Sometimes they had poor seasons and sometimes good, but in the long run they were able to make their farms and groves profitable. The early market, when profits are large, awaits the man who is not afraid of work in developing truck gardens’ or, farms on the Florida Keys. Whén he plants in the early fall, he need not enter- tain any fears of frosts, and, with suffi- cient rainfall, he may be confident of earn- ing more than what is called a “good liv- ing.” WILL TO WORK Newspapers and some magazines What happens when aggression on the part of the majorities meets head-on with aggression on the part of the minorities? “HEALTHY” AND “DESPERATE” The British Labor government reports that it has accumulated a revenue surplus in hard cash of 234,000,000 pounds since the start of the fiscal year on April 1. Hugh Dalton, Chancellor of the Ex- chequer; however, emphasized the striking contrast between this healthy internal po- sition and the desperately bad external balance, with the dollar-loan running out and exports running at least 450,000,000 pounds behind imports.

Stassen, former Governor of Minnesota and aspirant for the Republican nomination for the presidency, doés not believe that there will be a change in Rus- sian policy until Russian leaders are con- vinced that our economic system “can continue to function with high production and high standards of living” and that the predominant party “cannot success- fully infiltrate and dominate or sabotage this country for any other one of the ma- jor powers of the world.” There is reason to believe that the con- clusion of Governor Stassen are in line with the facts. As long as the Communist leaders of the Kremlin believe that the American economic system is about to collapse, in | line with the boom-bust theory and ‘that Communists can take over other large areas of the world, the Tulers of Russia will persist in their pres- ent uncompromising and non-cooperative attitude.
