Dear President Truman: Goodbye, Happy Landing, and Au Revoir. THE ORACLE. BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS The continued sale of Christmas Seals means the waging of incessant warfare against the terrible scourge of tuberculosis. © Every buyer-of these seals in: Monroe county: is making a definite coutribution to a great cause. Some of the money that sis given locally may mean the saving of -human lives in this community. At this time of the year, when every- body is looking forward to the happy sea- son of the year, it should be easy to make a purchase that is so convenient and use- ful. If you have not already bought your ‘ Christmas Seals for 1947, buy them today. The work of the organization that pro- motes the sales of Christmas Heals and bonds throughout the United States is made possible by the men and women who conduct the sales campaign and those who carry out the routine, but important, bat- tle against the disease that has threatened man for many years. You can give material expression of your appreciation of their efforts by mak- ing a purchase of-Christmas Seals or bonds at Christifids time, with the knowledge that you are participating in a worthy campaign. SHOULD TRUMAN MEET STALIN? Mr. Henry A. Wallace plugs the sug- gestion so often made that President Tru- man and Premier Stalin meet personally in an effort to settle differences between the United States and Russia. The idea that there is anything to be gained by a personal conference seems to be strongly supported in some sections but it is difficult to see how such a thing could produce results unless there is evidence that Soviet officials have reached a will- ingness to compromise and adjust differ- ences. i The belief that a personal meeting will clear up differences “as if by, magic,” is hard to down, but there is no reason to “place any faith in it. The effort to ‘get something for noth- ing explains many of the poverty-stricken _ people you see, A REALTOR is a person who volun- tarily subscribes to a rigid code of ethics established by the National Association of Real Estate Boards, but in Spanish a “REAL TOR” (note the space) is a “real bull.” And that reminds us that some. real- tors are good at shooting the bull, though they never destroy the bovine. KEEP IT SOUND When we go from the old to the new, whether individuality or collectively, it re- quires time, as a rule, to adapt ourselves to the innovation. ‘Thus it has been with the commission- manager form of government in Key West, which had been advocated by the Citi- zen for 25 years, and came into being as a’result of The Citizen’s recurrent drive for its adoption. Frankly, during the first two years the change was in effect, The Citizen some- times felt that the switch from the. coun- cilmanic to the commission-manager form had been in vain. But things are different now. We have what may be characterized as a businessman’s commission, which is alive to everything that may promote the interésts of Key West and_ has its col- lective feet firmly planted against any- thing that may economically harm the community. Several instances of the latter nature have come up before the commission, which could not be swayed from its de- cision. The Citizen believes that the people of Key West may feel confident that, during the life of the present commission, the in- terests of the. city as a corporative subdi- vision, will be conserved with an insistence that is similar to the attitude of a business ‘concern. The commission is alive to the fact that the money in the city’s treasury is the peo- ple’s money, paid to the city in various ways for its maintenance and operation. Any expenditures that do not conform to that rule have no chance, The Citizen be- lieves, of being made. The city has a large surplus, and as long as it has a surplus, large or small, its financial position will be sound. In planning: for the future, especially your own, never count too much on what somebody else is to do for you. PROFITS ARE SHRINKING Those who still believe that people in. the food business are getting rich out of current high retail prices should have at- tended a recent conference in New York where grocery manufacturers, wholesal- ers and retailers discussed the facts of life. Sales of high-priced items, it was al- most universally reported, were slipping. This meant that profit margins were de- clining all along the line—there is very little “fat” for anyone in inexpensive staples. As one retailer put it, “Our profit margin is so damn little now it’s still nar- rowing.” And a representative of the Na- tional Association of Food Chains said that the systems he represented were op- erating on a narrower profit margin than ever before. The consumer naturally looks at price inflation almost solely in the light of what it is doing to his budget and_ his living standards. He knows that a bag of gro- ceries costs more than twice as much as it did before the war, and he becomes sus- picious that manufacturers and stores are profiting heavily at his expense. The truth is that inflation hurts everyone. Every- body engaged in food business, from the farmer who grows it to the retailer who sells it to you, is being squeezed by high- er labor costs, higher supply costs, higher taxes—higher everything. And _there’s nothing they can do about it. Remember that next time you shop. Gripe at infla- tion—but don’t blame it on your shop- keeper or the processors or any other group. It’s not their fault. Communists and Fascists never profess to tolerate opposition, Their attitude al- ways is “obey and all will be well with you. Anyone who disobeys will be relent- lessly suppressed.” RUSSIAN ROULETTE Russian roulette, in case you do not know, is an interesting gamble with death. The player takes a revolver, removes all the bullets except one, puts the gun to his temple and pulls the trigger. Tf luck works well the gambler lives. If fate loafs on the job the lone bullet ex- plodes and the victim falls to the floor. In a few instances he recovers; in most he dies. In Washington last month a grocer gave his friends a demonstration of Mus- covite courage. The pistol fired and he was rushed to the hospital. After a few weeks he recovered from the effect of the slug in his noodle. We can’t recommend this experiment. A man silly enough to make the test de- serves a bullet in the brain.
