Such an act would evoke # more sting- ing adjective than-“icy.”’ Likely you would characterize it as base ingratitude. And yet, Key Westers, in expressing» what should be their appreciation for the Toaf of bread that the Red Cross gave them last Year, offer a slice in return, +.) Before going into details we should bear in mind that the American’ operates only on what the Ame ple give it, It depends on them te. the funds to help them in times of stress, as occufred in Key West” last year when’ a hurricane in September « and another in early Oetober skirted this city on the east- erly side. As a résult of those disasters, the Red Cross spent in Key West $44,569.69. In eluded in the expenditure of that amount were building and repair of homes and other houses, household furnishings, medi- eal care and nursing, « direct help to 160 families and the replacement of fishing hoats. Replacing the boats was the highest item, entailing an expenditure of $29, 877.46. Twenty-six hoats and eight dingeys and skiffs were purchased for local com- mercial fishermen, and other boats were repaired. B Home service cases in Key West handled by the local chapter of the Red Cross numbered 1,362, so that the total amount spent in Key West in 1948 by the Red Cross amounted to $56,096.08. The Red Cross does not fix its quota of collections ina community on the amount of money spent in relief in that community for the preceding year or any other year. Despite the fact that the Red Cross spent in Key West more than $56,000 last year. all it asked for this year was $10,000. A drive for funds was conducted here but only $6,412 was raised, leaving Key West $3,588 under the quota. Let us not return a slice for a loaf of bread; let us have sufficient personal pride in our community to give the $3,588 that is needed to fill out the quota. Key West Chapter of the American Red Cross will renew its drive on Saturday. If you wish to give to help raise the quota, telephone the Red Cross, 286, from 9 in the morning till 4 in the afternoon on Satur- day, and a worker will call at your home or place of business to receive your contri- bution. Let it not be said of us that we gave a slice for a loaf. 10 erate une. et el from which derived are ee epee forum end bi Lh eit hed alia “batts Por @ newspaper to be influential ond free 1 must be profitable, and in order t be profitable it must be pro- serewsive, and if it ix to be progressive it must have financial support, When city ond county officials curtail its income, for whatever reason, the paper and the ‘Th® proposals to broaden the Social “Heeurity program, so as to include some “a the groupe of workers not now covered, wet to be gaining a little ground.

REALISM IN PAKISTAN The Dominion of Pakistan, one of the constituent state of the partition of India, seems to be taking a realistic view of con- ditions in the various sections where con- ditions of the population vary widely. While the policy of Pakistan is to de- velop democratic processes, the State's ministry publicly recognizes that this must be done by gradual processes geared to the varying degrees of advancement. It is pointed out, for example. that while democracy is on the way in states that are ready for it, some of the desert and mountain areas are so backward political- ly that only despotic personal rule can prevent anarchy. This is somewhat differ- ent from what is going on in India where the Congress Party has obliterated almost all the Indian states from the political map.
