ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN MONOGRAPH Dear Readers: Manana is a fine sounding Spanish word, often conveniently and frequently Lused in Cayo Hueso. THE ORACLE —~ THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS The new Mr. Truman speaks sharply about Russia and he says that he is bother- ed “that our great ally inthe North hasa system of morals that are not moral.“ In his-opinion “contracts are not sacred to the Soviet Government.” He reminds the peo- ple: “I made certain specific agreements at Potsdam, none of which has been kept. I am exceedingly sorry for that because the Russian people are a great people. If the Russian people had a choice in the Gov- ernment of Russia, Iam sure we would have no trouble.” The President shows how patient he is by adding: “I'll spend my time in the next four years to reach an understanding on the basis that peace is possible with all Nations. I know it can be d6tfe. The welfareof the people is the first issue.” That is true Americanism, with all political theories trimmed off. The Presi- dent will undoubtedly get what he is ask- ing for: “I am counting on the entire back- ing of the people of the United States to ‘persuade the Soviet Government that , Peace is all we want. We don’t want any ierritory: we don’t want to hurt anyone in thé World. All we want is peace.” Our people will approve of that posi- _tion of the President, SPECTACULAR BUT INEFFECTIVE _ Just before Christmas, in another State;a newspaper told the public about the plight of a family where the husband and wife were living in asingle room, while their children reposed in a children’s home. What happened? Eight landlords of- fered a flat within the family price range, an.express man offered to move the fur- niture free, other readers contributed money for furniture to fill the apartment, and stores and residen‘s vied with each other in giving the family their happiest Christmas in many years. While the citizens of Providence, Rhode Island, deserve credit for their res- nonse to a call in need, one cannot but wonder how many families happen to be in the same plight without getting the same publicity or the same effective results. Cer- ~tainly, somebody should have known of “the-disruption of the home because a “shower of donations reveals that some- -bedy was willing to take care of the situa- tion, s-eew While such spectacular incidents de- Deve attention, they represent but a frac- Slion of similar casesthat abound in the SWnited States.

President Truman wishes his ‘inauguration to be representative of the ‘common peo- ple,” and a Florida newspaper has crack- ed, “Wonder if he wishes to outdo Fuller Warren?” It is predicted that visitors in Wash- ington for the inauguration will total 750,- 000. Only in that respect will the presi- dential inauguration, aside from its world- wide interest of course, Tegeive more ,ac- claim, for three-quarter :of azmillion peo- ple, can drown out the- plaudits-of- 50,000. But for enthtisiasm arid? dowi-to:earth mingling with people, the Fuller ‘Warren: celebration in connection with his inaugu ration was as colorful as any other affair of that nature in the history of the nation. It is well to point out that The Citizen is not making any comparison between a governorship and a presidency, for one represents only one state and the other 48 states, unified under our form of govern- ment. The Citizen has in mind -only the comparative degree of the celebration at Tallahassee with that which will occur in Washington on a far larger scale. The volume of enthusiasm, person for person, would have to go far indeed to outdo what may be termed “democracy in action” that took place in Tallahassee last Tuesday. Members of the Key, West delegation, on returning home, declared that it exceeded any other affair of that kind they had ever witnessed. is We have heard: a good. many, Key Westers ask, “Who footed the bill for the eats and drinks?” Our guess is that many joyous Democrats “chipped in” to make it possible to say, “It’s on the house.” ' By J.

AIRLIFT FOOLS THE RUSSIANS The Anglo-American airlift, or “Op- eration Vittles,” as it is called in Berlin, is probobly the world’s most efficient air- cargo operation. It has reached the point where General Clay can permit extra de- liveries of coal to more than 2,000,000 citizens in the Western sectors. This was impossible, of course, if the airlift was not exceeding expectations. From Berlin comes the news that the airlift which costs the United States about $10,000,000 a month, is more than deliver- ing the more-than-4,000-tons of fobd and other supplies required. daily.’’ Present stockpiles of coal can last for forty-three days, of sugar for forty-three days, flour for forty-two days and meat for twenty- three days. The successful operation of the airlift is not altogether a flying job. Maintaining facilities, such as runways, takes many workers and thousands of individuals are busy collecting and transporting materials to the airfield for transport to Berlin. The Russians, no doubt, «are disap- pointed at the determination of the British and Americans to continue the airlift. While the cost has been somewhat high, the fact remains that it isless than more drastic, and possibly, dangerous opera- tions. The airlift has successfully thwarted the Russian effort to drive the Western allies out of Berlin. In addition, it has won considerable goodwill for the Western allies among the German people, travel by hear- f ing ‘lectures of; Joith L. Stod- dard. Taking tripyi he showed his stides to the .
