This is what the Russians eall practically everybody who does not ac- cept-the Communist idea.of a new world. Ti{s ‘an opinion , frequently expressed by headline hunters in the United States, in- cluding many leaders of religious organi- rations, ~ There is no reason to blink at the faet that the nation is spending billions for p¥eparedness because of “the belief that thére.might be a war. If this belief does HOt obtain in offieial circles, there is no éxguse Whatever for the expenditure of ¥,000,000,000 on our Army, Navy j~nd AirForces, 7 ‘Fhe people of the United States might as-well understood now, as wellas later, that,international peace is delicately bal- aneed.; The Russians possess tremendous power'in Europe and are showing strik- ing su ss inthe spread of Communist in other regions. Whether the of Russia are ready to gamble on War is a speculative question to which no one can give a certain answer. Zi Facing this uncertainty, the United States finds itself practically the only pt the world, financially able to lppild up the “Strength necessary to pre- ba tigs Russians from taking over the «arth. Under the» circumstances, it is the wart of wisdom for this country to be tBoroughly prepared for any war that T®iy hegin. It should not be necessary, in nnecfion with this enterprise, to pay VErbal tribute to the peace-mongers. s Let's face.the facts and admit that the IQrited States is~ arming itself dn a tre- ngendous scale for the sole and exelusive yarpose of being ready to fight a war if the tussians begin it. To do anything else, uader the circumstances, would stamp us aba nation of simpletons. ANOTHER “ALL-TIME PEAK" teeneen The American steel industry is always getting the raps in Washington because it deesn't seem to give a whoop whether or nt it plays ball with Uncle Sam. The ober day big steel flashed a big adver- tigement that “America’s Steel Capacity R¥aches All-Time Peak... and Still Ris- ing.” Question: -Why should the steel f@ks give notice through an advertise- nent that everything is milk and horgy wit h them? +4 .

It is hard for one in this area to sense a full realization of the hills of snow and the below-zero cold in Nezraska, the Dakotas, Montana and several other states. That disparity ih\ temperature, gives one a good idea of the .vastness. of the United States. One part’ of it sti¢ks its fingers into the cold blasts coming from the Arctic, and Key West, at the southern- most end, is only 24.8 degrees above the equator. : But Key West climate stands out as exceptionally warm more so when chilling northers blow down the east coast of South Florida. Under those conditions, Key West is always warmer, sometimes from 15 to 20 degrees more than Miami. _ This winter, however, has been so un- usually warm, many Key Westérs have been heard to remark they would ap- preciate having a few “nipping northers” before cold weather comes to an end for this year. That wish probably will be real- ized before the winter is over. Sometimes, as late as. the middle of March, northers occur in’ South Florida. + Beeause of Key West’s being farther South than any other city in the. country, many tourists who come here think we must have extremely warm weather in the summer. One such visitor recently went through The Citizen’s files to ‘learn the kind of weather we have when the so-call- ed “dog days” come to pass. He was agree- ably surprised to learn that it is cooler in Key West in summer than in many other parts of the United States. In the 78-year history of the local Weather Bureau, the highest summer temperature has been slightly more than 94, with a normal tem- perature ranging in the ‘80s. There is not much sense to the theory that those who commit heinous crimes are the victims of society and deserve special treatment at public expense. ADVENTURE—THAT’S SCOUTING Did you know that citizenship-train- ing can be an adventure? Take time out during Boy Scout Week, which marks the 39th’ Birthday of the. Boy Scouts of America, to observe in action the theme, “Adventure-That’s Scouting!” and see its far-reaching effects. Community service projects, emergency service training, safety, education, and conservation practices—all of these chal- lenging activities are undertaken by the Boy Scouts of America. Institutions which sponsor Boy Scout Troops have found many advantages in giving their boys Scouting opportunities. It enables them to add a program of youth- centered character and citizenship, under the general auspices and atmosphere of the institution. This tends to strengthen the loyalties of youth toward the institu- tion, because Scouting has been willing to lose itself in the institution, and thus be- come part of the institution. All this brings benefits for the whole community, and stimulating satisfaction for our boys. “Adventure—that’s> Scouting” is a phrase—with meaning—for all of us! Time and a half in pay should follow time and a half in work interest. TRUMAN SPENDS, CONGRESS TAXES President Truman, in his recent ap- peals to Congress for a developing pro- gram, is in the honeymoon period, propos- ing many things that will benefit indi- viduals and, naturally, practically every proposal meets with the enthusiastic ap- proval of those who expect to receive the benefits. A little bit later, the White House will come to the necessity of securing the funds to pay for the program outlined. This task will be presented to Congress and the Congressmen will have to find sources of revenue, which mean, in - the long run, increased taxation. This part of the program will not be so popular. In brief, the President promises and it will be up to Congress to pay the bill. In the long runy the process will enhance the popularity of the President and de- tract from the popularity of the tax- levying Congressmen. In other words, the President plays the role of Santa Claus to the eager beneficiaries and Congress will be in the role of collector of bills. It isa system that cannot lose for the President and can hardly win for Congress, ; “a 4 city in the United States.
