THE ORACLE. UNCLE SAM DOUBLES HIS FIST Secretary of State Marshall led the at- tack against Communistic Russia and its satellites at the very beginning of the meetings of the General Assembly of the United; Nations, and hey arraigned the Soviet/Union’ for its course which he, charged was blocking the peace and sta- bility jot the World and which must be stopped before it could wreck the United Nations. He asked the General Assembly to take drastic action to end Soviet “ob- structionism.” The Russians came back and spread all the filth and dirt that they could col- lect, going even so far as to cal] a mem- ber of the American delegation a “war- monger,” . There is no question but what a crisis has been reached at Flushing Meadows where fifty-five member Nations are bat- tling with questions that are unparalleled in diplomatic. affairs. The entire American press has lined up in support of the proposals agreed up- on by the United States and more than fifty ‘Nations, with only a few Communis- tie satellites supporting Russia, While all may not be going well with the United Nations, it is neverthelesss clear that action will be taken to deny the power of veto which Russia has used to tie up the United Nations for two years. The top organization will rid itself of these frothy obstructions, precipitated by the Russians, and transfer the wind- jammers to a minor committee. In short, hopgs are brightening for the success of the. Marshall Plan, General Marshall has, himself, carried the fight to the Russians, and before many moons the United Nations will have ithe Commies licked out of their boots. That’s because we are 100 per cent right, and the Soviets 101 per cent wrong. -TWO WAYS TO LOSE LIBERTY ee, The people of every democratic coun- |* try should understand that they can lose their liberties not only to a communist regime but to a fascist regime as well, Let’s not get too much off the beam, in regard to communism, that we overlook the other possibility. The best safeguard for the liberties of free men is for them to understand what takes place in the world and in their own country. Certainly, it will benefit the people of a nation very little if they be- come so afraid of communism that they accept the fascist yoke. PUBLIC TRUST Tt is illegal for city~ “commissioners to | give the city’smoney to any private enter- prise. Such action not only violates a vision in the city charter but also a state law, City Attorney Lester informed. the commissioners at their meeting last Tues day night. One has ‘not enough sagen and toes. | to sum up all the times The Citizen has said for many years that neither city cdm- missioners nor county commissioners have the right to give sway to: private enter- prise the taxpaying money entrusted to their care. Too many of, us have been wont to Bay, 'Oh, it’s the city’s money, or the county’s money, so what's the difference!” A dozen exelamation «points should follow that statement, and yet there are only a few discerning residents who for- ever keep in mind the fact that taxpapers’ money, paid either to the city, county, state or nation, is a-public trust. Besides, the allocation of any specific amount by the city for e private concern is a subsidy, however much commissioners try to explain that it comes out of the ad- vertising or any. other fund. When the county commissioners’ had an advertising fund, they did not earmark it for any par- ticular individual or concern. Had they done that, the state. comptroller would have been emphatic ‘in telling them it was illegal. . An advertising fund by any political subdivision is neither set-up nor paid out | in any specified amounts at specified times or dates, To do that throws the fund into the*class of a subsidy, and the city can not legally subsidize any private enter. prise. We repeat that taxpayers’ money is a public trust that should be spent for the operation and maintenance of the city. ° A gentleman is one who keeps his promises made to those who cannot en-° force them, ON A NATIONAL BASIS The Interstate Commerce Commission has authorized the Railway Express Com- pany to increase its rates, having been satisfied that the company, owned and operated by the railroads, needs the ad- ditional revenue, It is interesting to note that the Com-' mission also directed the company to study | the results of the charges authorized and to work out a formula for a single natien- wide scale of express charges, which now differ in the East,,South and West. It is pointed out that the Express Com- pany divides the country into three zones, The Commission, under its approved for- mula. Jumps the East and South into a single zone with uniform rates. This leaves the nation divided into two zones, East and West of the Mississippi River. ————-_ + -———————r Drive carefully, brother, and you will not be in the lead of a' slow procession. MEETING THE CHALLENGE Loans and gifts can help in getting: convalescent nations on their feet, or in keeping them on our side in the global tug-of-war. But much more essential is the stabil- ity and the continued progress of our en- terprise system which makes these loans | possible. _ How has America been meeting this | challenge? Our government joined the babel of | tongues over Europe. It shouted the battle. | cry of freedom. But you can’t preach the gospet of the United States system, and at the same time block that system itself in such super-critical fields as labor peace and taxation, You can’t do both, and make headway, We are jealous of truth, officially, but complacent toward it personally. DENOUNCING THE U. S. er There is something ludicrous in the bit- ter charges hurled against the United States by Bulgaria, Rumania® and AL bania. It is apparent, of course, that the lit- tle nations are following the bidding of Moscow which is outdoing -all of them. ‘Whether the Soviet propaganda cam- ‘paign is having any appreciable effect up- on the peoples of the world remains to be seen. Certainly, the United States needs to offer the fullest information about Amer- ican plans to all people in order to coun- teract the propaganda, NEW. STERLING _ . SILVER PATTERN Introduetion. of a “new sterling silver pattern by) the Interna- tional Silver Company, is an- Mmouneed elsewhere in. today’s }? Citizen by Robert Pollock, of Pollock's, Quality Jewelers, ‘at 514 ‘Duval ‘street. “The new pattern is called ‘Northern . Lights',” | stated Mr. Pollock, “and is in the striking Danish..tradition. It is the first new sterling pattern to be intro- duced by the International Sil- ver Company in the past five “This pattern represents years of research and. study by the firm's. design Separtmgnt at Meriden, Conn. “It isa massive pattern with deep and exquisite carving that is carried out on the back as well as the front of each piece. And in the fork the carving of the handle is repeated at the base of the shaft.” ‘This pattern, as well as all oth. er active sterling patterns of the International Silver Company, ate on display at Pollock's, ality: Jewelers, exclusively in Key West. “BEST YEARS OF ° OUR LIVES” AT MONROE THEATRE Drama and comedy are skill- fully. blended to make the new dramatic production, “The Best Years‘of Our Lives,” an out- standing motion. picture, now showing at the Monroe Theatre.
