MONOGRAPH | THE ORACLE. $C ONLY ONE ISSUE : .Fuller Warren told The Citizen, when he was in Key West a few days ago, not to refer to him as a candidate for the Dem- ocratic nomination for governor of Flor- ida in next ‘May’s primary. He smiled, and The Citizen editors smiled understand- ingly. He thought it was a little too early to announce formally, and since then has referred to himself as an “interested spec- tator”, and has disclosed his stand on sev- eral issues of importance to the people of Florida. One of the issues is lower taxa- tion; indeed, he declared it is the most im- portant question before the people of Flor- ida today. And he is right. Tallahassee has been chin-deep in money for several years. De- spite that condition of the state treasury, not a single concrete movement has been made to reduce taxation. Instead state officials have been looking for ways to get more money from taxpayers. Flori- dians now pay scores of taxes that did not exist 20 years ago, in those days when the late Peter O. Knight used to point out proudly that the ‘people of Florida were not taxed for this and not taxed for that. But gradually since that time every this and that has been taxed, and a dozen other things have been added to the list of taxable articles. And when a tax is once imposed, it sticks, Warren, when he announces for gov- ernor, needs only to stress one issue—re-. duced taxation. The people of Florida are now taxed for everything, except, to use an old saying, air and sunshine. And they are weary of the mulitude of taxes. Any candidate who sincerely pledges himself to cut dewn bureau spending in Florida and thereby reduce taxation, will have a large following when the time comes to cast ballots. Only one issue lower taxation, Ss WONT USE ATOM 80MB General Jacob L. Devers, Commander of the Army Ground Forces, does not be- tieve thet the atom bomb will be used in future wars. He thinks that military lead- ers will avoid its use, just iike they have avoided the use of gas in recent struggles, : The General also expressed the opin- ion that the United States can avoid war if it has an army which can fly to fight and an Air Foree which can fly it. He thinks that would-be aggressors wil] be deterred - the “guarantee of sure, swift retribu- ion, Let us hope that th e is ¢ rect in both of his oa 4 CITIZEN Hotels and Apartments. | for the unity of the nation. INDIA’S INDEPENDENCE India’s teeming millions, estimated at July” hereafter. The day marked the end India. From now on the people of India are given an opportunity to shape their own destiny. While presenting the new flag of In- dia to the Constituent Assembly, Pandit have the honor to present to you, is not, I hope and trust, a flag of empire, a flag of imperialism, a tlag of domination-over anybody, but a symbol of freedom, not only for ourselves but to all people who }ma hope it will go far, not only where Indians dwell or our ambassadors and ministe | live, but across far seas where it may be ‘carried by Indian ships—it will bring a | message, I hope, of freedom to those peo- | ple. a message of comradeship, a message | that India wants to be friends with every ) country in the world and that India wants | | to help any people who may lack freedom”. Ending a debate in the Constituent | Assembly on the national flag resolution on July 22, Mrs. Sarojini Naidu, poetess It also stood The wheel in the national flag represented dharma cha- kra (the wheel of the iaw) of Asoka; it and honour of the nation. was a message of peace. the modern ideals of fellowship and broth- erhood and world cooperation. It also represented chakra of that illustrious lead- er Mahatma Gandhi.. eternal wheel of time that never hesitated or stopped. It represented the rising sun and the eternal emotions of the human heart. “Under this flag there is no difference between prince and peasant, between rich and poor and between man and woman. Therefore men and women of the newborn India, Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jains, Sikhs or Zoroastrians, you are one indivis- ible whole and one indivisible spirit.” Mrs. Naidu recalled how during her sojourns abroad she had felt the anguish of not having a flag for India. She was asked to speak at the peace celebration at New York after the Versailles treaty had been signed. Fourty-four nations had their flags fluttering there. “I looked at the flags of all these free nations and when I spoke it was with humility. I said: ‘I do not see in this great assembly of free | nations the flag of India—the most historic | flag in all the world. “On another occe tions of the world sent their Berlin for an international There w sion fourty-two na- ‘ | women to conference. s a flag parade of nations. Some of the Indian women present at the confer- ence tore up of their green, white and saffron coloured saris and stitched up a nationa] flag for the occasion. “Today”, Mrs. Naidu declared, “we retrieve our honour”. Raising her right Mrs. Naidu urged: “I bid you rise and salute this flag”. The trouble with most vacations is that they end in a rush to catch up on work that has been postponed. NOT FOR HIS OPINIONS Douglas Chandler was recently con- victed on a charge of treason and sente. ed to life imprisonment for broadcast 1g war. The court allowed Chandler to read a statement before sentence was imposed. The defendant, among other things, said: “I stand here convicted of the crime of having tried to convey to my fellow citizens my honest beliefs and opinions. I have been convicted because of those beliefs.” The statement, of course, is incorrect. If Mr. Chandler had given expression to his opinion in the United States, before the war with Germany began, he would not have been guilty of a crime. His con- viction was not based on his beliefs and opinions, but upon his activities in Berlin where he attempted to give aid and com- fort to the enemies of his country. The pur- pose of his broadcasts was to undermirxe |the war unity of the people of this coun- try. nee It is important for Americans to un- derstand that the right of an individual to entetain beliefs and opinions and to express them in normal times does ot cover a trait- jerous effort when the nation is at war. | one-fifth of the world’s population of two | | billion, were given their independence on | August 15, which will ve their “Fourth of | of two hundred years of British rule in ; Jawaharlal Nehru said “This flag that I | ee it and wherever it may go—and I | and political leader, in an impassioned | speech said the flag stood for the integrity | It represented | It represented the | Nazi propaganda from Berlin during the | - | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Radio Programs | URES SRESERSS SERRE REEDED NETWORK PROGRAMS Time Is eastern haretan standard, Forcen. jubtract one hour, for andard subtract ‘two Last mi Program changes can- not be includeds = sia FRIDAY, AUGUST 22 (For East.

Theatre. Ryan portrays a young officer in charge of the Coast Guard station on a wild, isolated coast. Engaged to a girl who runs a boat yard in the neighboring fishing village, never-the-less he forgets her when he mets the lovely wife of a blind artist and hears her complain of her hus- band's brutality. The husband has a different talé to tell. He tries to convince Ryan that his wife is interested only in acquiring his paintings, which would be of far more value after his death, and that several men mysteriously tried to kill him. In a brilliant climax, the wife is unmasked. Ryan com- pletely disillusioned and badly frightened, returns to his first love. LEGALS or THE In re the EMMA R. 4 Deceased.

Essential- | ly a vivid panorama of this coun. try’s colorful show business, i comes to life with tremerdous vigor when its pulsegeat is set to the rhythms of America’s be- | loved tunes. When Larry Parks, who plays Al Jolson, comes out on the stage of New York’s famous Winter Garden to make his Broadway debut, the screen is retelling one of show business’ most exciting incidents. The great moment that Larry Parks is reliving and the songs} that are associated with that mo- ment include the well remem- ‘bered offering of “Mammy” so it is with the rest 6f the tunes, each oi them has its dramatic asocia- tions, each of them tells a frag- ment of the story far more elo- alogue. Tin Pan Aley can come out and take a bow—its song itell a glorious story. “DROWNED” BOY HOME WASHINGTON. — When clothing of Edward B.
