BLOODY BAIT Writing in Plain Talk, Alexander Kerensky, Chief ‘of the Russian Second Provisional Government which was over- thrown by the 1917 revolution, gave this warning to America: “Today Commun- ists everywhere are trying to seize power by—posing as ‘defenders of democracy’, organizing their blows against liberty un- der the banners of liberty... . “The Russian people cannot be blam- ed for falling into the Bolshevik trap for, at that time, the world had had no exper- ience with modern totalitarian techniques, But there is no such excuse for millions of workers, farmers and intellectuals in the democratic West who are offered the bait today.” The greatest barrier to the Commun- ist dream ‘of world domination is the Unit- ed States with its free government, its free enterprise, economy, its free press, and all its other institutions that protect and guar- antee the liberties of the people. Those institutions are under continual attack, and the campaign to destroy them takes many forms. As an example, the socialization and regimentation of industry is a primary plank in the totalitarian program—be- cause free competitive industry is a corn- erstone of free, representative government. The continual demand, by self-styled “Iib- eral” and “democratic” groups that such industries as power, coal, the railroads and the rest be nationalized in the interest of the masses of the American people, is strictly in accord with the aims of dicta- torship. SLICE FOR A LOAF If we gave you a loaf of bread today, and, years later, when we needed bread, you gave us a slice, surely you would, in return for our kindness, be giving us little enough. That is an exact picture of the sites | of the Army Barracks and the First and | Second Mattello Towers. The original proprietors of the Island of Key West deeded to the United States | Army, free of charge, the sites of the Army Barracks and the First and Second Mar- tello Towers and much of the land at Fort Taylor. though the fort itself was built on | a sandspit, which belonged to the federal government. Those gifts were made to the Army in 1833, °35 and ’87, and now, more than a centuty later, Key West is in need of the | site of the First or West Martello Tower. For the government to give thai site to the county to build a beach, it is as re- turning a slice for a loaf of bread. County commissioners, in dealing with | the War Assets Administration to obtain | \ }the West Martello site should point out to the WAA that the site, as well as other land in Key West, was given to the govy- | |ernment for the. use of the Army, and, therefore, the government should not charge the county anything in returning the site to the people of Key West who have voted a bond issue to construct a beach there. The Citien believes that if this mat- ter is brought to the attention of the WAA, through our representatives in Washing- ton, the county will not be charged for this slice of the loaf that was given to the government more than a century ago. Now that Congress has adjourned, | the optimists will imagine that politics are adjourned. HISTORY OFFERS NO EXAMPLES Knud Kristensen, Premier of Den- mark, says that mutual confidence has not | yet been established and that it is import- ant to tie individuals from different coun- tries together “with bands that can hold the strain even if inter-state relations should become alarming.” So far, the record of history reveals no sueh band has been formulated although the very approach to such an internation- al obligation has come about through the | relationship established between labor or- ganiations of different countries. Something akin to an international band of unions seems to tie Communists io- | gether throughout the world There was a suspicion, once upon a time, that the Social- | ists of the world would disregard national- | ism and stick together to prevent war. However, the outbreak of war in Europe | dissipated this idea. The Danish Premier was thinking, perhaps, in terms of religious ties but the record of the world shows that they have | hitherto stopped at national! lines. In the |“ there | recent war, especially in Europe, were Protestants and Catholics fighting on both sides. people did loyalty. Tt has been the same since the advent of strong nations and strong national senti- ment. The only exception relates to the re- not transcend their national ligious wars that blotted civilization some | centuries ago. The law may be peculiar but it has nothing whatever on the people who go }j to law THE RIGHT TO READ The American people, according to an estimate, spent one and two-thirds billions of dollars for reading matter in 1946—for It took the world bloody centuries to \Newspapers, books and magazines. free itself from the rule of tyrants—and from super-states whose principles werei identical with the dictatorships of the pre- sent. But in only a few years mich of the world has gone back into the abyss of slav- ery and oppression. We in America are the great custodians of human liberty, and the leaders of its forces. That is the one thing which, in these tragic times, no American should ever forget. “They say” is no defense to lying. Women shoppers know that the best is the cheapest in the end-—but there's no end. Members of different politieal par- ties seldom see things in the same light and for the same reason, This indicates that the people of the United States are voracious readers but the important thing to remember is that each individual had the privilege of select- | ing what he, or she chose to read. This is somewhat different from the situation pre- vailing in Russia, where the Government selects the stuff that the people read. It is different from what went on in Germany when Hitler took charge of the reading of the German people and set up the peculiar | mentality that supported Nazism. The impertani thing for every citizen of Monroe County to remember is that no- body has the right to censor reading in the United States. This is a precious heritage be free people. no, American permit t any authority (cramp or control what Americans can read. | The religious unity of these | It is the architect of intel- } leetual progress and moral greatness.
