To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir. Your editorial In recent
issue, entitled "wreeking Rssirie-
ton" will no doubt Ahd hearty re-
sponse on the part Of many good
hearted American men and women
who. although troubled over the fate OF
the suffering peoples IN the Near East
and willing 70 sacrifice what they can
on their behalf, yet feel that There
ara other and better ways OF caring
FOR these people than By Transporting
than 20 America" Yet from what
have seen Of the hneness and sincerity
Of most Americans and of their desire
70 be Of real seryIee 20 these IN
fortunats people believe that did they
know The facts they would not content
,s.mselves With extending charity
from a distance.
Speaking against any measure iAVor-
ing the admission Of more refugees
from the Near East. arguments are nd
yanesd IN your editorial showing that
while there Is misery and suffering IN
the Near East 80 is there In Poland
Germany. Italy and China, and tsa' II
the hara should be lifted for one
sroup there would be no reason Why
the same principle would not be used
for other suffering peoples. Nay I
venture to point out that the situation
IN tho Near East Is unprecedented ard
there is no parallel 20 any Of the eoun-
tries mentioned, not because the
troubles of the Near East have been
"nors spectacular than usual and have
been more widely reported" but be-
cause OF two fundamental differences.
FIRST, the peoples in Germany. Po'
land, Italy and China suffered from
general world disaster. The whole
world. 10 TO speak. had its share Of
suffering. and the Christian peoples In
the Near East, especially the Arme'
n,ans. had one Of the largest and Bit
tsrest shares. The native populations
Of the countries you have mentioned
vere not driven-the whole nation
from out Of their native soil. These
people from the Near East are not only
driven out Of their homet' homes
which have been destroyed many timea
and have been built again By their
marvellous endurance and industry; not
only are they driven out Of their native
land. where they lived before the
world had heard Of Turks, but they
are being driven to nowhere NOT
only are they a people without eOun-
try. but a people without an earth to
stand on.
Tho second difference in the situation
Of these Near Eastern peoples Is that
America has more particularly closed
her door, 20 these peoples than 70 any
Of the group OF suffering countries you
have mentioned. The restrictive law
allows Germany a yearly quots Of e7,-
so7; Italy, l2O67; Poland, 2i'o76.
Though no immigration from China is
allowed, that country has vast lands to
rive at least a government protection
to her own population. No matter what
the present suffering in Germany Italy
and Poland, It seems quite evident that
all Of these people, having splendid gov

Rugg-Snith

Married, in Wauchula, by the
county judge of Hardee county, Sat
urday night. 27th inst, Ernest II.
Smith of Punta Gorda, and Miss
Virginia Ruth Rugg of Estero. This
was a surprise wedding, for even the
closest friends of the couple had no
inkling that the marriage would Oc-
cur when it did. Mr.. Smith and his
bride-to-be, accompanied by the lat
ter's sister, Miss Celeste Rugg, and
Jesse 3. Lanier, quietly boarded the
nOrth-bound train, Saturday after
noon, telling their friends that they
were merely going on a little pleas
ure jaunt to Arcadia; and they did
so to Arcadia, but the county judge
there was out of town. The party
then engaged a car and went to Wau-
chula, where the ceremony was per
formed. The groom is one of the
most popular and capable young men
of this town, and a host of friends
congratulate him on his winning such
lovely bride. AS is well known,
he is valuable assistant to his
father, H. w. Smith, in conducting
the latter's extensive and varied
business enterprises. His bride is a
young lady of charming personality
and possesses all the qualifications of
model wife. While she is not gen
orally known here, due to the short
ness of her residence, she has many
warm friends both here and else
where who unite in wishing her a
long and very, very joyous life.

Editor Herald-Dear Sir: | wish to
toss my hat into the ring as a sup
porter of Ex-Governor Gilchrist, for
U. S. senator The ex-governor has
made good as a soldier, legislator
and governor. He is also neigh
Dor; and neighbor ought to support
neighbor.
/ am one of those who believe that
rotation in office is about as valuable
in politics as rotation in crops is
in agriculture.
| would like to see the ex-governor
get every vote cast in Charlotte coun-
ty Nothing encourages a public
official to make an uncompromising
fight for his people more than to
know that they stand solidly back
of him.
Give the ex-governor his six years
in the senate and if at the end of
the term he and Senator Trammell
wish to try again each will have to
stand upon his record.
| hold in high regard, Senator
Trammell, and appreciate the value
Of his work in the senate, but the

Master David Skipper entertained
about twenty-five of his m | !
friends, Friday afternoon, from 4:3O
to 500, the occasion being his third
birthday. The afternoon passed
pleasantly with various games.
Little Miss Frances Cooper won the
first prize in contest game, while
Howard Dreggors practically tied; so
a prize was provided for both. The
table was very attractive. A birth
day cake with three candles, sur
rounded by red hibiscus, formed the
center decoration. Ribbons were at
each guests plate, which, on being
pulled revealed charming little ia
vors. The refreshments were pink
and green ice cream and cake. Mas
ter David received many delightful
presents, and all his guests had a
happy tune and wlsa5', HIM many
happy birthdays.--Guest.
