THE ORACLE ITALY AND SPAIN OUT Apparently, most of the details of the North Atlantie Defense Pact been agreed upon by the nations di- inviting Italy ato the security association. To elude Italy would extend the responsibilities of the Atlantic group. Much the same question arises in con- nection With recent discussions as to Spain. While the Spaniards come within the scope of an Atlantic power, one doubts that inclusion of Spain would add to the over-all strength of the North Atlantic group. The present regime in Spain is definitely anti-democratic, according to American stanards, and there is nothing in recent history to indicate that the mili- , fey power of Spain is of consequence. ‘The argument advanced by some mili- tary experts for the inclusion of Spain and ttaly relates almost exclusively to the POhebility of acquiring valuable bases for military operations. The argument is that { we do not acquire the bases, the next "remy of the nation might use them. Ob- viensly, this is true, but. until the Span- jards and Italians are strong enough to protect their own soil and thus assure thé’ vafety of the bases, they will be open to the firet belligerent which has the power to take them. Moreover, in the case of both countries, there is little liklihood that they will join hands with the Com- unless revolution overtakes the now in power. STATISTICAL * ‘welere are some economic statistics that yewean interpret for yourself: There were 3,200,000 unemployed in Pebruary, which was the highest number of people out of work since the war. During the same month, there were 57,168,000 persons at work, which was the highest total employment ‘for ‘the | month of February on record. The explanation seems to be in the greatly increased number of people at work and “seeking work.” Incidentally, of those out of work, 1,803,916 were getting jobless benefits at the end of February. Go-getters, as a rule, are often care- less about what and how they get it. ee Advertising is good sales insurance, but it takes an alert, wide-awake merchant to vealize this, | elimate, the temperature af 7:30 o'clock Saturday 4 the températiire at 7:30 Saturday was 47. the temperature he has had this March to | eneed here in March of last year.

Eastern Standatd Time, occurs the vernal equinox, which ushers in Spring-and gives us the equinox, when day and night will be equal throughout the world. The four seasons of the year occur be- cause:the earth’s axis is tilted away from a perpendicular to the orbit tothe earth’s orbit. °. : Only.on the day of the vernal equinox and. the autumnal equinox does the axis of the earth stand at right angles to the direction of the sun. In June, it is tilted more than twenty-three degrees toward the sun and in December, it tilts the same way fromthe sun. This variation from the perpendicular accounts for the dif- ferent lenght of time the sun shines on the hemispheres. _. In Summer, the sun gives the hemis- phere more heat than can be radiated during the night.In Winter, the process is reversed. While the Spring equinox marks the astronomical beginning of Spring, it would not be safe for the people of the North to presume that cold weather is over. In some sections of the country the latter part of March brings some of the harshest features | *“’ of Winter, but at other times and places, the weather is genial and Spring-like, as in Key West.

We all remember when Senators of the United States were elected by the Legislatures of their States. A newspaper poll that has just been completed shows thata majority in the new Congress.are in favor of scrapping the Blectoral College. And so, it seems quite certain that Congress will agree onan amendment to the Constitutio. to cut out the “college.” Hasten the day. Key West,was 64.
