The provident are of- ten criticized, while the extravagant are praised; but he who laughs last laughs best. THE ORACLE. TIED UP IN DEBATE ere . Nearly everybody who has given ser- ious thought to the possibility of establish- ing permanent. peace in the world under- stands the necessity of having an effective international police force. General Joseph T. McNarney, Ameri- can representative to the United Nations,’ declares that “ there just isn’t going to be an international security force” until cer- tain basic differences between Russia and the Western nations can be solved. The General says that the United States inSlsts that each country Should furnish armed forces according to its abil- ity but that the Russians insist that each power should make available equal forces. This, he declares “would be a fraud on the smaller nations” and prevent the na- tions that are able and willing to supply the units needed from mhaking the interna- tional security foree highly mobile and able to function, i i: * In addition, the Russians and the Western powers are in disagreement as to the right of the international force to use bases and to fly actoss the territory of United Nations members and also upon the location of the forces when they are not in use, -_ EVERYBODY AGAINST HIGH RRICES There exists a concerted movement, independent of polities, trade unions and big and small business groups, against high prices. Three Congressional investigations have been announced by Senator Taft, and Attorney General Clark has ordered an investigation of food, clothing and: hous- ing costs. He says that if he can convict any profiteers that he will demand that they be sent to jail and heavily fined under the anti-trust law. ; Business spokesmen are blaming ris- ing prices on high wages; shortage of ma- teriag and big demands. : sut the CIO apparently has no shame in offering the nonsensical reegmmenda- tion that Congress should reconvene and put price control in force again, neem ee ee The Florida State Advertising Gom- mission budget for newspaper and natfonal magazine advertising this year totals $250,- 000, The agency's advertising activities in 1946 produced 119,006 inquiries, consist- ing of coupons clipped from Florida ads. NOBODY CAN TELL R. L. Frost, in charge of the local Weather Bureau, was in The Citizen of- fice talking about hurricans. He remark- ed that no storm had yet been reported | Sis*¢, as a result of the squally winds in the vicin- ity of Key West. Then he added: “But nobody ean tell when a tropical disturbance is going to develop. Neither does he know definitely how such a storm forms, though there are many theories about the way hurricanes originate.” Mr. Frose was still talking about hur- ricanes when a telephone in The Citizen office rang. The calt was for him, and he was told an advisory about a hurricane had been received it his office since he left there to come to The Citizen’s office.” ‘That beats out what I was saying,” he remarked when he was told about the hurricane center that had been located 150 miles west-southwest of Key West. Seminole Indians, as The Citizen read- ers may reeall, said a few weeks ago that no hurricanes would oecur this season in this area. They based their conclusions on the heavy rainfall during July. A few days before they made their prediction, The Citizen had said editorially that no condition of immediately preced- ing weather, dry or rainy, unusually warm or unusually cold, in any. way affected the chances of a hurieane occurring or not occurring in any given season. Official Weather Bureau data were produced to show that hurricanes have oc- curred in this area during dry seasons and wet seasons and also when rainfall and temperature were normal. Past performances clearly proye that it is just as Mr. Frost remarked, “Nobody can tell when a tropical disturbance is go- ing to develop.” ‘Bankers usually agree that “easy” money is a bad thing’ for the people. THE PARK DEAL Attorney J. Tom Watson has sent The Citizen the following editorial from the Miami Beach Evening Sun to explain his side of the Everglades National Park dispute, and, in fairness to him, The Citi- zen hereby reproduces the editorial: Attorney, General J. Tom Watson greatly (clarified his stand on the Everglades park matter }in his talk Thursday before the Miami Beach Kiwanis club. He emphasized that he does not Oppose the establishment of the park, although he questions the wisdom of having “such a mohstrosity in such an inaceessible place.” . But he does oppose the yielding of the state’s oil and mineral rights to the federal government in exchange for the creation of the park. He terms the legislative act giving the trustees the the right to waive the oil rights is “a bad law” and question its validity. _ He took issue with persons who have insisted the state’s oil interests are protected, asserting they refer to a transfer back in 1944, and to the transaction made this year under the new law by which the government had accepted the terri- tory “free and clear of the reservation of oil. gas and mineral rights.” ; Value of the attorney general's argument lies in his conviction that the Everglades is a poten- tial oil area. He spoke of the large areas already under lease and under exploration by rich oil companies which do not spend money on experi- ments without good reason to believe oil is some- where around. Watson's fight may be futile, but if there is any possibility of oil in substantial quantities in Florida it SRould not be bargained away. Siife- ly the federal government would create the park tract. hes its merit without a looting clause in the con- Watson charges some of the state’s largest newspapers are misinforming the people on the issue. If this is true he is rendering a service by reaching the public with his own account of what has been done to our state by the interir de- partment. ——L.
