In fact, the commonplace pttitede of our people toward the as- tounding death toll of the automobile is one of the mysteries of modern life, ~fPhere was a day when the regulation of speed was considered vital to the safety Of the highways. Nevertheless, the lawful fate.of speed has somewhat increased through the past decade, but with the improvement of highways and the de- yelopment of better automobiles, the Heath rate has not inereased proportion- wtely to higher speeds. The Citizen has urged that officials tonduct a more thorough examination inte fatalities connected With automobile eccidents. Many of them are avoidable end would not occur if the drivers of all ears knew that punishment awaited care- leseneis. It is a matter of regret that “un- pvoidable accident” is taken as somewhat } Metter of course when a motor vehicle peufis out the life of a person.

Likewise, there is he freedom of speech if those who ad. Vooate what we consider un-American principles are stifled in expression and prohibited from talking. The way to prove the Virtue of free speech and to establish its virtue is to practice free speech, There is no other = et reformers want some work ta do the job of eliminatin, the business world. r . THE KEY WEST CITIZEN "RUSSIA FROWNS ON CHINESE REDS | THE GROWING LOAD —_—— > Two months ago, when the Commun- ists were driving on Nanking, The Citizen remarked that the Chinese, regardless of their political designations, were for them- selves, first last and all the time, and add- ed it was doubtful if. the Reds of China would affiliate with the Russian Reds. Yesterday an Associated Press dis- patch #ai@ that the Russians had closed their consulate in Shanghai and had issued: the following announeemnt: ae “A new regime which our govern- ment does not officially recognize has come to Shanghai; we are not remaining open.” at ‘ - The'reason for that. action ‘was im- mediately understandable by the AP cor- | ~ respond, who explaineds’ “The Chinese-Russian treaty of 1945 gives Russia special rights in Port Arthur, Dairen and in the management of the Manehurian railways.” It was due to that treaty that the Rus- sian ambassador, who had been in Nan- king, left that city for Canton with Na- tionalist government . officials when the Reds were about to take possession of Nanking. The Rusians_realize that, with the Nationalist government swept out of existence, the treaty giving them those concessions will become null and void. The communist regime in Shanghai, which Rustia does not recognize, is con- eerned wholly.in getting a tighter and tighter grip on China. It is doubtful if com- munist soldiers in China are familiar even in a rudimentary degree with the doctrine of communism. They are fighting because they have been’ promised land for agricul- tural purposes and are not interested in the type of government under which they serve,.so long as they can. keep the land alletted to them. The United States should have known a long time ago that it could not Americanize the Chinese, and Russia apparently is aware it can not Russianize them. . afore TAH gel fate oa Holloway, if “Pl rs. ray, ‘m i going to be any trouble—” and hurry uj “Nonsense!
