Sir: We agree with you that there is freedom of speech in Russia. A Russian can say anything he wishés—ONCE. THE ORACLE. NEW LABOR LAW GAINS APPROVAL Union labor bosses were riding high- horses at the end of 1946, and there was always a strike somewhere in the United States. Congress acceptéd the challenge and worked out a new labor law. Labor bosse&were.so defiant that the Courts were called off to. defend law and order. The coal miners suffered well-deserved judicial spankings. John L. Lewis never let up until “his eats were pinned back.” He and other bosses missed the support of FDR, who always selectéa@ new boards, mediators—and puppets, and kept watch over them until they won: all the strikes for the strikers. The less temperamental Truman “sat tight” and agreed to let Con- gress “do something about: it.” But when the only sane labor legislation since the passage of the Wagner Act was passed up to the President he caved-in and sput- tered and threatened—but now they are beginning td behave. A few weeks have passed. Employers and employes are getting along much bet- ter and there is evéry prospect that rules of reason—colléctive bargaining and con- ciliation will “eome back” in time. The wage levels are not likely to go higher. Price levels are apparently being set to a level with wages. Those fevels will be permanent in all kinds of large and small businesses. A dollar bill will never be worth 100 cents again, And taxes that big and little people and business institutions ‘“used-to- pay" will never come again. It will be $10 to the $1 of old-times. GETS SALARY IN JAIL Here’s one that will confirm thé aver- age citizen in his conviction that the law is a peculiar thing: The Mayor of Boston is serving a jail sentence and, in his absence, a “temporary mayor” is carrying out the duties of the office. Nevertheless, the corporation coun- sel has ruled that the Mayor is entitled to his $20,000-a-year salary even while in jail. You have to have the goods to be “good.” | Even an average politiciah Can téll you what will happen at thé polls in 1948. We want no war with Russia, bat an- less Ruasia wants no war with us, we will have war. BEWARE OF LEAN YEARS What Comptroller Charles Gay, at a luncheon of the West Palm Beach Junior Chamber of Commerce, said about the state’s finances, applies aptly to the buig-" ing balances now held by the city of Key West and the county of Monroe, He point- ed out: “The state Has plenty of money right now but thé législatufe two years hence likely will find an empty treasury” unless action is taken now to fotestall that apparent eventuality. “We all should think about this now,” he added, “and not wait till the next legislature meets.” Had Comptroller Gay been speaking to city and coutity cdminissioners his ad- viée cowld not have beeri mote timely to them than what it was in speaking about the state’s finances. City and county, so far as their treas- uries avé concemed, aré “in clover” now, but the “clover” is béing used ‘up rapidly. Recently, The Citizen published a story about the city’s total of its receipts, and the county is splurging in cutting down its surplus. How- ever, city commissioners should bear in mind that the county gets money from the outside, particularly racetrack and gasoline tax funds, in addition to general taxation, while the city has to depend solely on what it gets from taxpaying resi- dents ; This saying goes back to Bible-writing time: in the fat years prepare for the lean years, but that good advice has not been adhered to either in the city or the cotn- ty. As a correspondent declared in The Citizen a few days ago, the city has the largest payroll in its history, and seemingly forever is trying to find new ways in which to spend money. Beware of the lean years, gentlemen! Like fat years, they will be back again. At her wedding a bride wears white, a@ symbol of happiness, but it should not be forgotten that the groom wears black. That’s also a symbol of something or other. U. §. STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP Under the terms of the Fulbright Act, passed a year ago, the State Department will initiaté a program of sending Amer- i¢an students to twenty-two countries for study: under scholarships financed by the sale of some war-surplus material over- seas. Altogether, a fund of $137,950, 000 is available for a twenty-year period. It will also finance transportation of some for- eign students to institutions of learning in this country. Some 12,000 applications have already been received from Americans who wish to study abroad and 5,000 of them are entitled to veterans’ preference under the law. It is interesting to note the assignment of funds to the twenty-two nations that will benefit from the educational ex- changes. Not more than $1,000,000 can be Spent in ahy one country in any one year, with $20,000,000 the top limit for any one Nation. This amount is assigned to Italy, the United Kingdom and China. The next highest sum, $8,000,000, is assigned to Greece and Poland; $7,000,000 is assigned to the Netherlands Indies; $6,006,000 to Czecho-Slovakia; and $5,000,000 to Aus- tralia, Finland, France, Hungary and the Netherlands. Smaller amounts are avail- able for Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Iran, New Zealand, Turkey and Burma. In accordance with the Act, the Pres- ident has named a ten-member board to select the American students who will re- ceive assistance offered under the meas- ure. Despite the vearning for knowledge we know of no movement on the part of pupils to persuade authorities to open school eartier than usual. THERE IS NO BLINKING Secretary of State Marshall is a straight shooter and hits the mark ofténer than any other man if this Administration. | Here is something worth “blinking.” Mar- shall. told the Governors’ Conference: ‘There is no blinking at the fact that this country now stands at a turning point in its relations to its traditional friends among the nations of the Old World.” Russia has split the world in two. Cer- tainly, the United States can’t continue its great éffort to “save the world,” unless the world helps to save itself. We saved those old buddies of ours by | winning two wars for them. So, they had best help win the peace. they come and go, and | } } | i Key West In Days Gone By AS_ TAKEN .FROM FILES OF THE CITIZEN OF JULY 31, 1937 The Weather S Key West and Vicinity: Mod- erate ‘tb frésh southeasterly winds, becoming strong in rain- squalls.
