We hope that the day will hevex.come that the government of thi€’céuntry cannot depend on the pa- triotism of the men who head our largest economie enterprises. Unfortunately those who take advantage of their official posi- tions have created a widespread suspicion . that most of them do so. To clearup the mist about the matter and to give some publicity to the unselfish and patriotic work of others are necessary to public confidence, There ig‘another side to the matter being discugsed. If every big business man who volunteers: to serve his country finds his mot! ahd actions suspected, the time will ie. that no one will volunteer ‘for a jgbh ¢ettain to bring unpleasant alle- sationg}#m@ unfounded suspicions. Never- theleae ethane men who offer to serve their gowntry should realize that the situa- tion hes-been produced, not by the people of this: country but through the chicanery and uf ical conduct of some big busi- ness men. in.the past. They should wel- come ‘ah investigation to expose those who are guilty and to protect those who are innocent. Mr. Celler gave no indication of facts showing wrongdoing but fears that there is a connection between “the diminishing stream of military procurement orders for small business” and the fact that en- terprises employing less than 500 people are not represented on industry advisory groups. He suspects that “small business is a casualty of war” and that “defense orders will serve the purpose of building up larger combinations to control such vital industries as aluminum, copper, tin and newsprint, among others.” restore & re Ope way to prolong life is te make your plans twenty years ahead.

Adell, commander of | the Key West Naval Base, should be com- | mended for his activity in the fight against | rats in Key West. But the extermination | of rats is a comparatively simple matter to | what it used to be. A poison has been dis- | covered that is a sure killer, so much so it | is sold with a guarantee to rid any house or locality within 15 days. ' The Citizen can’t recall the name of the poison, but Captain Adell can easily get full information about it by communi- cating with the Department of Agricul- | ture in Washington. It requires five days ‘for the poison, mixed with ground corn, to kill a rat that returns, night after night | till the final knockout, to eat the poison, which turns his blood stream almost into water. Tens of thousands of rats have been killed recently, chiefly in farming com- munities. Hundreds of reports have been | made of the complete extermination of | rats. | Key West has waged warfare against | rats on several other occasions, but in those | times, as is at present the case, the term “rodent” has been used as though only a THE KEY WEAT CITIZEN .

But a squirrel, beaver, porcupine, hare, or any other mammel that gnaws, is a rodent. That term is gen- eral; let us be:specific and say “rat,” which instantly stamps the mind with all the implications pertaining to that pest as a disease carrier and a destroyer of food- stuffs designed for human consumption. That destruction of foodstuffs ran to more than a billion dollars a year in the United States before the newest poison to kill | rats was discovered. Aside from the poison, the best way to fight against rats is to have a few cats in one’s yards. The last 21 years the writ- | tions and mankind itself to solve a stl : cur problems.

In the meantime, the population is rising at the rate of 2,200,000 a year. \ Nutritionists estimate that it takes two and a half acres of crop land to pro- |a vide a properly balanced diet for a single person and, therefore, the doctor says that the United States will arrive at a cri- tical point in the next fifteen or twenty years.
