THE ORACLE. ee OUR LABOR LEADERS WISE William Green, president of the Amer- ican’ Federation of Labor, says that his or- ganization will continue its anti-Commun- * ‘ist fight. Th ¢ ~ 3 2 Mr. Green points out that the United .< States seeks to “restore the economy of “: Europe to a self-sustaining basis,” while . -Russia is trying “to starve Europe into “ revolution and thus extend the interna- » tional domain of Communism.” -~ This is about as clear and concise a ! statement of the issue in Europe as any we have read. The fact that labor organi- - zations and their leaders in this country . support the Marshall proposal to assist in my the economic rehabilitation of Europe - should make even conservative Americans understand the difference between free “, labor in this country and the radical union * organizations in other lands. The use of ” the right to strike is often adopted for po- os litical purposes in many European coun- tries and, ‘in unfortunate instances, agita- tors mislgad those who will suffer most through internal violence. Responsible American labor leaders are taking the lead in an all-out war upon Communism. It is to their credit because it is in the interest of this nation and the members of the unions they serve. rE ty ty { = WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN a vie While there may be no effective buy- cad ers’ strike against the high cost of living, = some economists warn business men that high priees may prevent consumers from "a buying all that is being produced. iat Taking note of this danger, George by Sule, an economist, points ont that prices = must be reduced to the extent that in. a creased productivity and profits permit, oa and that, in the process, a way. must be bai found to bring down the price. a Z 1947 will soon be over and you will 2 find out how many people were killed on ae our highways—we hope you will be here z, to find out, > - Key West could do many things if it fe had the money, but it could do more if 2 its people cooperated unselfishly for the +. + common good, —s Man boasts of his intelligence but he Ps doesn’t know ‘anything much, as yet. May- e be, in a few thousand years, the human eS race will be getting somewhere. Se « = BUTTING AGAINST STONE WALL ——-— Determination is one of man’s best qualities, but determination, like ambi- tion, another good. quality, can be carried too far. Ambition is really the spur of determi- nation, because, without ambition, life is a listless thing. We admire a man, who, seemingly defeated, raises himself by “his own bootstraps.” Key West has been afforded many in- stances of bull-headed determination. Be- fore the turn of the century, we heard of several Key Westers who ran for office at each election, despite the fact that every time they ran they were decisively defeat- ed. Since the turn of the century, we know of several other instances of that nature. It is unwise to beat your head against a stone wall. Sometimes we wake up to that fact, and sometimes we don’t. Recent- ly, we have not heard anything about At- torney General J, Tom Watson’s activity against the establishment of the Ever- | glades National Park, or a part of it. But of one thing we are sure, regardless of whether he discontinues his suit or presses it, the establishment of the park, with the federa] government and the state of Flor- ida solidly behind jt, is an accomplished fact. The President of the United States will go from here to Everglades City to dedicate the park on December 6, so it would seem that if Attorney General Wat- son continues to peg away against the project, he will be butting his head against a stone wall, something all of us are likely to do o¢easionaly. Meanwhile, John Pennekamp, who has been active in having the Everglades Na- tional Park established, says that, poten- tially, it may become the nation’s outstand- ing national park. The first fruit of a religious person- ality is an honest life. WILL RUSSIA QUIT U. N.? The United States recently won an- other victory over Soviet Russian opposi- tion when the General Assembly of the United Nations approved a proposal to set up an independent commission to super- vise procee@ings in Korea. The Russians, supported by their satel- lite group of nations, had already an- nounced that they would boycott the other proposals approved by the Assembly, that providing a commission to watch events in the Balkans and the one setting up a year-around Little Assembly. The likeli- hood is that the Soviet will boycott the Korean commission and probably prevent it from entering the Soviet military occu- pation one. Now that the General Assembly has proceeded to act in three important mat- ters without deferring decisions in def- erence to Soviet opposition, one may won- der what will happen next. If the pro- cess continues, with the General Assem- bly voting affirmatively and the Soviet announcing a boycott, it will be interest- ing to see how things work out. The probability exists that the Rus- sians, after being out-voted and somewhat out-generaled, will decide to quit the Unit- ed Nations altogether. This possibility is decried by many observers of international affairs, who feel sure that the Russians, despite bruskness and rudeness, are still anxious for the United Nations to be a going concern. Even smart men are amazed and tickled when they happen to guess right. “ENGINES HAVE MORE SENSE” Charles Franklin Kettering is consid- ered by some competent observers to be “the outstanding scientist in America to- day.” He recently told a group of research workers that he spent ten years experi- menting with Diesel engines, “which tech- nical experts still say can’t work because they are ‘theoretically’ unsound” but that, as usual, the theory was wrong and not the engines. The scientist-inventor is what is known asa “monkey-wrench researcher.” He admits that he often throws figures and mathematical formulas out of the window in favor of “setting up something and try- ing it out, since engines have more sense than people anyway.” This is interesting but should not mis- lead embroyonie scientists into the belief that technica] knowledge is not an asset to invention, White many great inventions have been developed accidently, the “ac- eidents* have usually occurred in the work of some expert who was laboring intelli- gently on the problem. iand immediately begins found THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Burglars Are Finicky About Housekeeping day's Citizen’ the opening of ihe | ‘ fo} BILLINGS, Mont. — (AP). — Burglars who stole a rifle, two pipes and a can of tobacco from Joe Wersal’s house took time to cook themselves a snack and cof- fee.

Should the | comraunity depart in a bedy, the ‘ales value of the land in ques- {tion would also depart. ‘ | Therefore, the Single Tax view is that values created by the presence of a community, should be taxable for the benefit of their creator. Conversely, that values creat- ed by labor, such as building a house, should not be confiscated by taxation for the benefit of the community which had noth- ing to do with building the | house, but that the community's jonly just source of revenue 1s |from the taxation of the values “which it, and it alone, creates.
