The visitors are not to blame for driv- ing against traffic. They are used to’ driv- ing in cities where arrows--are pointed at corners of streets that are one-way streets. They see no such directions in Key West and naturally assume that Duval is a two- way street. Most of the cars going against traffic on Duval start at the bank corner, What an easy matter it would be to paint yellow arrows on Duval pointing northwest- wardly? Were that done, instead of having small signs on posts that drivers do not see, no longer would residents feel obli- gated to warn visitors who are violating traffie laws. Those persons in our midst who have come from other states are used to look- ing on streets for STOP and one-way signs. Why should Key West adopt a practice that is different from all other cities in the United States? A little yellow paint and a man or two could put the guiding signs where they could be seen easily. The greatest danger impending under the present system are to Key West pedestrians who are aware that Duval and a part of Fleming are one-way streets and, in crossing them, think it is unnecessary to look in the direction that is against traffic. One of these days an accident may be caused by that very condition. Key West is tourist minded, and we should do everything in our power to pro- vide conveniences for tourists. One of those things is to apprise them, in signs that they won’t overlook, of our traffic regulations. Too frequently we see drivers, in cars crawling along, who are uncertain whether or not they are on a through street. The reason why some people acquire so much money is that the man who knows how to make money attends to his business. own PROPAGANDA AND ASIATICS The Japanese, when they started their war of conquests, used “Asia for the Asiatics” asa propaganda weapon. and sought to line up the people of that great continent against the Western nations fighting Germany and Japan, At the time, the Chinese understood that what the Japanese really meant was “Asia for the Japanese” but some of the other Asiatic peoples did not catch on so readily. They have not had the same first- hand experience with the Japanese. Now, the cry is being revived in vari- ous sections of Asia, but the suspicion be- gins to spread that Moscow has an idea that the slogan should be “Asia for the Communists.” It will take the backward people of Asia some time, no doubt, to ascertain the correctness of this suspicion, but, in time, they will come to the real facts. There isno objection whatever to “Asia for the Asiatics,” but the people of the United States should, if this formula gets into general effect, follow a similar motto and work for the “United States for the people of the United States.” It appears that even a cold war costs money, and lots of it. RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA t one prominent news associa- At lez tion of the United States recently gave space to the claim, printed ina Russian newspaper, that some twenty-one years before the Wright brothers flew their first airplane, a Russian took to the air in a monoplane, powered by three steam engines, i While every individual is entitled to his judgment in the selection of néws, we doubt if the article was worth the space. If the newspapers of the United States.are ready to give their columns tothe publi- cation of the claims of the Russians, they will have to,leaye, out much interesting matter from the United States itself. We cannot imagine a redson for the average American’s giving time or thought to the claim of the Russians. Obviously, the average individual does not have the time | inclination or ability to check the Russians claims. These, if true, will be established by the experts and, if untrue, are unim- portant and uninteresting exeept as Com- munist propaganda, Soot THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Key West In. |Days- Gone a?

He...” : “What bunch?” Bierman cut in, “Just shut up, and listen!” I said. “Barone told it all to me in great detail, but I'll cut it down and give you just a rough idea for now. When the Nazis went thundering across Europe they looted every country high and dry. Ong of their specialties was diamonds. But all of the stones didn’t quite get back to Germany. Individual Nazi greed. The Un- derground boys knew about that. They had those lads pegged: And when the Nazis went thundering back across Europe a.sight faster, certain members of the Under- ground moved in quick. They went picking up, small hidden saches of diamonds like you'd pick up fallen apples. Oh, only a few did it, but those that did had a good thing for themselves.” I paused for breath, and Bier- man nodded slowly. René DeFoe was the leader of an Underground unit that in- cluded Cardeur, Parrish, Zara, Barone, Eurlich, and some others, To go sell their loot direct to mer- chants in Antwerp, and else- where, would be to ask for a rope around their necks. So they fig- ured out a plan. DeFoe and Ba- rone had connections here in the States. They could sell their loot here a little at a time, and it would evenfually find its way to the European markets. But how to get the diamonds from Europe here? They worked out_a very neat smuggling stunt. Each of them took a few cleverly hidden and came here for a visit, Be- i i hie AWA Fy, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29, 1949 named to you_nave made four trips since V-Day. DeFoe came here, though, and remained. The diamonds were delivered to him, and he worked the deals that brought the cash. DeFoe was smart. He loved them all dearly, but he didn’t trust/one of them. So he put ail the unsold diamonds in a safety deposit box under a name that only he knew. That onds for money. But it is not be the oa plan.” Pe “T tell you the something she saeke metre ea wa s not like to sit in yout think 5 00 eure chair, no!" And then she did it!

It had turned a sort of sickish yellow. “What parts did I have wrong?” I asked quietly. “Does it make the matter?” she said. “No, I guess not,” I said. “One thing, though. Was it your idea, or Cardeur’s?” “Tt was all mine, the idea,” she said, still holding that screwy bright smile. “I tell Maurice to search the rooms. I say to him I am sure he will find something. He does and he tells me. But we have not the keys. I tell Maurice that it is better for me, a lady, to go to the bank with the letter of identification from * Herbert Varney. Men, they do things for someone who is pretty. She makes their brains work bad. Maurice agrees that is best. I am sorry for aurice, but I am tired. I am bored. I suffer too much in the war.
