C. | Dear Harry: Key Westers rejoice and feel hon- ‘ored in knowing you personally desig- nated Key West as the location for the Little White House, and because “you like it here.” THE ORACLE. THE EFFORT MUST BE MADE Before the Marshall Plan was formu- Gated for European nations, the Russians, .pecording to Mr. Dean Acheson, former nder-Secretary of State, were confident «that within four years the’ sick countries “of Western Europe would’ fall into their ~laps like rotten apples. ~ . The “Russian hysteria’ about the Plan “he considers the finest compliment that "could be paid to the program. Moreover, he argues, while there is “no guarantee of ~success,” it can be said that “there is a <omplete guarantee of failure if we do not “make the effort.” “» Mr. Acheson was discussing the $22,- “000,000,000 in aid requested by the six- «teen participating countries for the next four years. He does not think that the amount is more than is “essential for re- seovery” or more than we can furnish ‘without injury to our own resources and economy.” DRUNKENNESS NO EXCUSE In a criminal court in the State of ‘Massachusetts, a defendant recently re- "ceived a capital sentence after being con- ~victed of slaying a seven-year-old child. z The defense included testimany that _the defendant had been drinking heavily and had no recollection of the crime. This, “it was pointed out by the judge, consti- ftuted no defense to a crime because & -drunkenness cannot be converted into a ‘shield to protect one from punishment for “a serious crime. Voluntary intoxication,” “continued Judge Abraham E. Pinanski, is never an Ctrime.” It is well to call attention to this as- *,pect of legal responsibility. If criminals, upon being apprehended, could go into “court and excuse their conduct because of drunkenness, the way would be opened “for many of them to escape the conse- “quences of their folly. ene enema The man or woman who ‘can’t spell , Should not use a typewriter. excuse or palliation for There are so-called nations that be- | “lieve the United States is ready to pour - out cash upon application, and when the “United States does make the loan it will find out to its sorrow, but too late, that the | money was forwarded on a conveyance | * that will never come back. A “BRACER” Temperatures ranged between 70 and 80 during the time President Truman was in Key West. Skies were clear and the temperature was at 78 when he left here to return to Washington. President Truman, at no time during his visits to Key West, has been nipped by chilly weather, but if he is when he re- turns, he may feel sure it is the warmest temperature in the United States. A norther now and then is relished by practically all Key Westers. This season many of them have been yearning for cool- er weather. It puts zip in you, makes your step springy, following month after month of shirt-sleeve temperatures. Had President Truman come to Key West 10 years ago, he would have felt that zip, because the mercury fell to 48, which was comparatively warm, for up on the mainland of Florida Jack Frost cavorted. “Typical Truman weather,” we have heard it remarked during the Truman visits in Key West. “Better weather could not have been ordered from Sears, Roe- buck,” was another remark. But Key Westers need not entertain the least mis- giving about our climate when the White House announces the President is coming to Key West. He always will find it pleas- ant, so far as temperature is concerned, any time he comes here. : That nip in the air was commented on in a letter the late William Jennings Bryan wrote The Citizen in 1928. He said that continued daily warmth enervated him, and that he welcomed chilly weather once in awhile. He referred to it as a “bracer.” Nearly 1,000 persons will die on the nation’s highways between now and the not-so-happy Christmas for their surviving relatives, DWINDLING RESOURCES Another reason why the United States should take inventory of its own resources before committing itself to grand scale ex- ports is supplied by the search for addi- tional high grade iron ore deposits in this country. ‘ One of the greatest natural assets in America is the Mesabi iron range of Min- nesota. This is an ore deposit extending for 110 miles, so easy of access that the ore can e extracted with a steam shovel. Geologists say these easily available de- posits will be exhausted in 18 to 40 years. After that it will be necessary to mine ore by more expensive methods. A $77,000,- 000 experimental project is under way in Minnesota now. Without steel a nation would revert speedily to a primitive status. America be- came great through output of steel prod- ucts that nearly equalled that of the re- mainder of the world. Now those lush times are coming to an end. They will pass rapidly if remaining supplies are exported in prodigal manner. As Congress considers implementing gigantic relief plans by large exports of American stee] and iron goods, sober thought should be given to depletion of the nation’s iron resources during two world wars. The suggestion that Europe obtain dollars by sending raw materials which this country can use is especially applicable to shipments of iron ore. Signs in New York bars asking people to behave: “No intoxicating drinks sold to intoxicated people.” “Be good or be gone.” “Keep your temper, no one wants it.” COMMUNISTS LOSE GROUND The Communists have lost ground the last year, says William H. Newton, newspaper correspondent, who recently spent two months traveling aiong the perimenter of the Communist world. He says the Reds have lost their ground in every one of the nine nations he visited. As a result “the Russians are growing panicky,” their propaganda grows more hysterical, Communists resort more and more to violence and the party “becomes increasingly a symbol of ter- rorism and chaos.” Mr. Newton believes that the period just after the end of the war offered the greatest opportunity to the Communists who, by working their way into under- ground resistance movements, obtained political influence far, beyond their nu- merical strength. The trained observer does not believe that the Communists have an unbeatable formula, even in the nations of eastern Europe where they have failed to gain the friendship and trust of the people.
