THE ORACLE. | PUERTO RICANS FLOOD NEW YORK The metropolitan city of New York faces a problem in the steady flow of Puerto Ricans, who are arriving at the rate of 2,000 a month to increase the osti- mated 600,000 already in New York. Some of the migrants come in regu- lar planes at $150 per trip and others use special planes which bring them over more than 1,000 miles of water for anywhere between $25 and $100, Additional num- bers arrive by steamer. New York officials report that many of the migrants seek assistance from the welfare department almost immediately after arrival and that the relief rolls grow daily. Charges are also made that the migrants continue on relief when they re- turn to Puerto Rico, their cheeks being mailed to them by those with whom they made their homes. An additional complication arises from the fact that most of the migrants speak only Spanish, that inspectors are un- able to distinguish them and that other Puerto Ricans gpeak up in behalf of the migrants, “explaining anything that comes up.” 4 Politically, the Puerto Ricans register by the hundreds. “Little Spain” is in the Congressional District of Vito Marcanton- io, and he benefits by the extra registra- tion, The law requires certain residential qualifications but the New York Times re- ports that “every Puerto Rican who wants to register is able to give proof through witnesses, other Puerto Ricans, that the law has been complied with.” We hold nothing against the natives of Puerto Rico and, in fact, do not blame them for seeking to escape the starvation- level economy of their island home. If they can make a plane trip to the United States and find employment, that is té their advantage, Nevertheless, is ig extremely doubtful whether it is to the benefit of the United States, as a nation, to permit a large segment of the Puerto Rican population to transfer itself into this country, MORE THAN 4 BILLION Federal tax collections for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1947, were one and a half billion dollars below the pre- vious fiseal year, Receipts from several sources increasad but the drop was due almost entirely to thé repealed excess profit tax. This was down by more than four billion dollars, which will give the publie a fair idea of what the repeal of the tax was worth to corporations. 4 | belie REDUCING TAXES When two persons are anxious to do you the same favor, you may be sure that one or the other or both will do it for you. Further, while nobody can predict the future with certainty, as a rule, you may predict that the next congress will lower ineorme taxes, and your prediction will turn out to be true. Republiean leaders in congress tried twice, during the last session, to have the taxes reduced, and twice their sponsored bill was vetoed. But, with the 1948 political race in the offing, you may be sure that the Republi- cans will attempt again, in the next con- gress, to put through an income tax re- duction bill, and you may be sure also that the Truman administration will have a similar bill for the relief of taxpayers. Paper, with molasses on it, catches flies; a tax-reduction law catches votes. On the city commission we have two com- missioners, Louis Carbonell and Hunter Harden, who have been trying to do the taxpayers of Key West a “favor” but they have been unable to accomplish their aim. That cireumstance puts it squarely up to the voters of Key West to elect a third man to the commission who favors the re- duction of taxes. If the voters succeed in attaining that end, Key West tax- payers, like income-tax payers through- out the country, may be sure that local taxes will be reduced. How will it be done? By cutting down expenditures, as congress cut down fed- eral expenditures in the last session to pave the way for the reduction of income taxes. The pruning knife has many “dry branches and twigs” on which to work in the top heavy expenditures by the city. In the midst of present prices this is a favorable time to go on a reducing diet. RED ARMY THE LARGEST General Jacob L. Devers, Chief of the Army Ground Forces, reminds Americans that the Russians have an army larger than those of all other nations combined. This is a fact which should be remem- bered whenever the people of this country consider the state of affairs between Rus- sia and the United States. It should tend to prevent opposition to the maintenance of an American army of around 1,000,000 men. It might even convince some people that universal military training is apt to be a persuasion for peace. We would not have anybody believe that we think the Russian Army of 3,000,- 000 men will be used against the United States. Certainly, there is no immediate prospects of such a development. More- over, we have it on the excellent assurance of high-placed gentlemen in the United States that the Russians will not fight us unless we attack them. These assurances, however trustworthy, are not sufficient to warrant the United States in neglecting its armed defe Those people who never think are the suckers who are born every miuute. NOT RESPONSIBLE There are many Americans who believe that the Government support given to agri- cultural commodities is responsible for the prices at which these commodities now sell. It is interesting to note, in connection with cotton that the support price of the Goverment for the 1947 crop averages 27.94 cents a pound. The growers are re- ceiving 35.88 on the market, as of July 15. Obviously, if the market price is eight |——— cents above the guaranteed price, no one can blame the government support of grow- er prices for the price ef cotton. This is true of other farm commodities. Few people are able to understand the worries of other people. CHINA ACCUSES INDONESIANS Heres an item that interests us: “From Nanking, China, the Vice-Minis- ter of Foreign Affairs charges that the In- donesian Army in Java has committed re- peated acts of arson and violence upon Chinese nationals and that the acts con- stitute an offense ‘against international law and humanity.” We have seen only one small reference in the newspapers to the accusations made by the Chinese official but if they are true, the action of the Indonesian Army seems to the Asiatics live as brothers. the off-repeated statement that all { THE KEY WEST CITIZEN eri eter ere etirt ikke | | Radio Programs — | | AMER R TARE KORE REMREM SS | { Daytime Summary .
