The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1934-12-11

T. T. Thompson, a resident of
Key West, who has been in Miami
for several weeks, is confident a
boom on the Florida Keys is inn
ulinent. With Walter w. Thomp-
son, another well known Key
Wester now making his home in
Miami, he owns a piece of land
containing 145 acres at Key Largo
and of this land 40 acres were re-
Gently subdivided and placed on
sale. There is increased activity
everywhere on the keys, Mr..
Thompson says, and residents in
the Key Largo section are on the
lookout for the big boom. Inquir-
les received in Key West by real
tors bear out the statements of
Mr.. Thompson. relative to the APP
preaching boom.

In seeking new deal for her de-

Italy's New Deal.

After spicy pep talk by Premier

his revolutionary law, whereby Fascist
Italy becomes cooperative" state. II,
as expected, the Chamber Of Deputies
acts promptly, the law will be rushed
through in time to permit Italy's new
deal to begin functioning late this
month.
Under the cooperative project, law
making, price-fixing and competitions
regulating powers will be given to thir-
teen corporations or guilds representing
industries, trades and professions, and
working through National Council and
the premier While the new system
will abolish parliament for all practical
purposes, it will not curtail the dicta-
torial powers of II Duce. He will con-
tinue to boss the show in Italy, using
the vocational guilds for his purposes,
instead of q national legislature, whose
authority under Fascism was already
reduced to the vanishing point.
Signor Mussolini contends that the
cooperative system will bring discipline
to all sections of Italy's economic life
and that 1t will be just as necessary
after the present crisis ends ''as it Is IN
the midst of it." That assertion smacks
of President Rooseyelt's recent declara-

War on the Bootleggers.

Commissioner Hazen has at least one
advantage that some of his predecessors
in office have lacked in planning re-
newed activity on bootleggers and other
law evaders. For the campaign to wipe
out bootlegging and all that bootleg
ging denotes In the way Of law evasion
Is now recognized as q component and
necessary part Of new plans for con-
trolling the liquor trafnc. If the boot
logger and the strong underworld in
dustries Of which he is a part are not
eliminated. new plans for liquor con-
troll will have failed in one of their
chief objectives.
Experience has taught the necessity
of constant and close cooperation be-
tween the police and the courts in any
war on crime Where that cooperation
exists the chances for success are i'm
mediately improved. In the past there
has been convenient resort to buck
passing from police to the courts, and
from the courts back to the police, In
failure to arrest and punish law viola
tors. The conference between Com
missioner Hazen, who has direct juris-
diction over the police. and the newly
appointed United States attorney, Leslie
c. Garnett, is a satisfactory beginning
of what many good citizens hope will
turn out to be determined effort
against the crime identified with the
illegal liquor traffic. Mr.. Hazen does
not promise spectacular and colorful
raids, which is a good thing. The pub
lie is interested only in results, and they
will be hopefully awaited.

The Uses of Popularity.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Those who reflect on the perversities
of popularity might we'll give some
thought to the way in which the Rus
slams are crediting Litvinoff with bring
ing about the resumption of diplomatic
relations with the United States. Ac-
cording to the dispatches from Lenin-
grad the negotiations with America are
listed as the high mark of Soviet
achievement in foreign affairs for 1888
and every public mention of Litvinoffs
name evokes prolonged and enthusiastic
cheering.
Mr.. Litvinof is one of the most skill
full negotiators. No one who is mlnd,
full of his numerous achievements would
wish to detract an iota from his justi-
fiably high reputation. But the idea
that he had anything to do with Amer
ican recognition of his government is
simply funny. We in America know
that Russia was recognized not because
of Litvinoff'S perSuaslveneSS, but rather
because Franklin D. Roosevelt was cour-
ageouS enough to disregard one of the
senselcss tabooS which have governed
our domestic politics these many years
Litvinoff came over to receive the evt-
dences Of recognition and ne conducted
himself with commendable suavity
while here. But he made no contribu-
ton to the solution Of the problem Of
Russian recognition. which, so far as We
are concerned, has been a domestic
question from the very first.
Yet he Is credited at home with
bringing America into line and his repu-
tation is raised still higher by virtue OF
this supposed achievement. It Is a
strange commentary on the nature of
popularity. The stranger because it oc-

Liberal" Spenders.

Two billion dollars more. if not q
larger sum, is to be demanded for the
construction of public works by a group
Of liberals in the Senate. Added to
the more than three billion dollars al
ready appropriated for the public works
program, this proposed new allotment
of funds for such work would bring
the total up to over $4,000, 900 ,Oo0
The group Of liberals in the Senate
will never be accused Of failing to be
liberal spenders of the public monies.
President Roosevelt has in his budget
message to Congress urged that the
items Of appropriation be kept within
the budget estimates of expenditure
The President has explained that even
keeping within these budget figures the
public debt may reach the huge total of
s3l.S34, 100000 during the year 1895.
If the plans Of the liberals" are fol-
lowed, then the public debt will be in
creased still further The President
has indicated that he will ask for
50 900, ,0O0.00 for extraordinary ex-
penses under the recovery program. and
that Of this sum s5o0,o0o00o will go
for public works, largely to continue
those projects for which funds have
already been allocated. He has warned
Congress that halt must be called and
a return made to the you 60
plan OF running the financial end of
the Government. 1t is quite clear that
there will be no return to such a policy
if the ideas Of the liberal spenders-
and there are lot of them in Congress
over and above the so-called liberals
are carried out
Perhaps the liberals" have sensed
that there is prospect Of the Govern
ment's reducing its public debt through
the impounding of all the gold in the
country and the devaluation of the dol
lar. If the Government takes over the
entire four billion and half dollars OF
gold, and cuts the gold content of the
dollar in half as has been suggested. 1t
may reduce its public debt by four bill
lions and 4 half, measured in the new
dollars. Here is chance for the Gov
ernment to spend more money instead
Of merely paying its debts.
Should commodity prices and cost Of
labor rise with the devaluation Of the
dollar, however, the appropriations for
the Government activities, particularly
public works. must rise in dollars. Be
fore the Government takes on new
projects costing billions of dollars under
present conditions it should carefully
consider what it will have to spend to
carry out these projects under a revised
and devalued dollar with all the cost
perhaps doubled.
The President has very wisely de-
termined there must be halt to spend
ing by the Government in excess OF
Government receipts. No Treasury, no
public credit, can stand such strain
indefinitely. Members of the House
have acquiesced in the Presidents de-
mand that the salaries of the Govern
ment workers be not restored to their
full basic pay, and that cut of ten
per cent be continued after July next.
This means saving to the Government
of approximately 100000 900. 1t would
be strange indeed if the Congress
should now pile up an additional public
debt amounting to $4,000 ,000 900 over
and above the Presidents estimates,
unless the Government workers are to
pay the whole sum for the window
dressing Of the Roosevelt economy
program.

SHOOTING STARS.

The Volunteer.
Thought I heard q robin bird
Singing out so gay.
OF course my heart with hope wa
stirred
About the blossoming May.
And thus a snowflake fluttered down,
A cloud hung in the sky
A sparrow clad in modest brown
Kept chirping "by and by!"
Sometimes when gorgeous beauty waits
Afar, and songs are few,
When Springtime halts beyond the
gates.
When Winter threats anew.
Still there will come some volunteer
To ease the somber plan.
Who like the sparrow tells Of cheer.
And does the best he can.
