FOR THE GOOD OF BOXING An interesting situation has developed in the professional boxing racket since Rocky Graziano won the middleweight championship from Tony Zale in Chicago. Graziano is ineligible to box in the State of New York because the Boxing Commission last February revoked his li- cense after hearing a charge that he failed to report a bribe offer of $100,000 in con- nection with a fight that was not held. This means that Graziano is eligible to fight in some states, although barred from the ring in his own state. The New York Commission is under considerable pressure to reconsider the Graziano case and revoke its suspension. The Commis- sion may take this step although winning a fight in Chicago does ot present evidence to offset that already received by the commission in connection with the bribery offer. It would be much better for boxing, if the racket is to continue, for other states to make their investigation into the charge onjwhich he New York Commission barred ‘the fighter. If the investigations support the conclusion of the New York Commission, Graziano should be barred everywhere, regardless of what fights he might win. THE GOOD OLD MERCHANT MARINE According to tradition, there were “ships that pass in the night.” Now our clairvoyant Maritime Commission has the American shipping industry sewed up tight. The Commission has possession of the largest merchant fleet on earth—and if that Commission is doing anything to re- store the power of American shipping, it wouid be interesting to learn some teason why there is so much discussion about fea- ture articles in magazines to the effect that large portions of the American fleet are being sacrificed to aid our Allies in re- building their fleets and pre-war tonnage. Statements that seem to have semi-official blessings, indicate that there have been sore spots in international relations con- cering shipping throughout the world. Collier's Weekly tells @ in a recent article that our ships are strung along our shores as “bare and gray as a row of ghost ships in a sea-haze.” Custom is often more binding than law; there are any number of individuals who violate laws with less compunction than they would offend custom. FEATHERED FRIENDS The Citizen commends the movement to organize a Key West Chapter of the National Association of Audubon Societies. Too many Key Westers regard a bird only as something to shoot at or trap to keep in a cage. In recent years the destruction of birds in Key West has not been as prevalent as it was half a century ago, Reason for that change has not been due to the change of heart of those residents, men as well as boys, who delight to killa -bird. The change has been brought about by the dis- placement of many wooded districts in Key West by houses and by the law pro- hibiting hunting in the city limits. But that law has not been strictly en- forced, as a result of which birds, prac- tically all of them songsters, have been shot. With an Audubon society functioning here, the shooting and trapping of birds locally will be stopped, because members of the society, ever on the lookout for vio- lations of the law, will insist on the law’s enforcement. 4 \ Despite insecticides, including DDT. crops in the United States would show losses of additional billions of dollars an- nually were it not for insect-eating birds. Frequently we have watched birds search- ing diligently among plants and trees for insects to devour them. Consider the chipchip, whose song is confined to chirping: in the course of a day he destroys hundreds of flies and other types of insects. And the tiny pewee, whose song, though low, is filled with 'melody, is a doughty insect killer. The Citizen greets the proposed chap- ter of the Audubon society and wishes it success in the protection of our feathered friends. it 9 Burdens, to which we all are heir, weigh heaviest upon people of small minds, and who are voluble in their petty complaints. FRENCH BUCK AID PLAN The effort to persuade European countries to get together oh a program which would make possible American as- sistance in economic reconstruction does not seem to be progressing very fast. While the Marshall idea could operate without the Soviet government and its satellites, it can hardly accomplish any- thing if the Western nations of Europe are unwilling to build the future on the ex- isting industrial structure. The American idea is that the key to European recovery, whether one likes it or not, is in the Ruhr, which has been the workshop of the Continent. The French Premiere, however, has served notice that France will not aecept this premise with- out major qualifications. The French de- mand is for new security and apparently the increase of industrial activity in the Ruhr is synonomous with Yearmament so far as Paris is concerned. Another difficulty that confronts the program comes from Russian propaganda which warns Europe that Washington is trying to buy the Western nations with dollars and that, even if the plan is accept- ed, the United States will not carry it out. This last assertion is giving Washing- ton some concern. There is no certainty that Congress will share the conviction of urgency in connection with assistance. Congressmen have exhibited an air of com- placeney in regard to world affairs and many of them show no disposition to use American financial strength to assist Eu- ropean nations. Honesty in thought, word and deed is the highest expression of the good and happy life. SPEAKING OF DEATHS The average American reads of the ancient gladitorial contests in the days when Rome was great and shudders at the brutality and blood lust involved. A dug up near Ostia, dates back to 118 A.D. and records the death of 4,941 gladiators in the seventeen days of fighting in the arenas of the Empire. Compared to the modern automobile, the gladiatorial combats don’t amount to much. Of course, there is a difference. The gladiators killed eac hother for the pleas- ure of the spectators, while the victims of automobiles are the result of negligence on the part of drivers, intent upon their own pleasure and the killings are incidental. However, the victims of an automobile accident are just as dead as the loser in a gladiatorial combat. | “court gazette” of Emperor Trojan, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Key West In AS TAKEN FROM FILES OP THE CITIZEN OF AUG. 7, 1937 yesterday afternoon on the steam- Wingate.
