The Senate Committee, headed
by Senator Nye, which has been
conducting a widespread inquiry
into the part played by munitions
makers, bankers and other profit
able interests in putting the Unit
ed States in the World War,
seems destined to end its career.
The furious controversy precipi-
tated by Senator Nye, who charg-
ed that Woodrow Wilson falsified
the record in saying that he had
no knowledge Of the secret trea-
ties of Allied nations, has result
ed in determined attitude on
the part of many senators to
withhold further appropriations
to the committee.

While confidential files of the
State Department were mention
ed by the senator from North Da-

his charge rests upon statements

Missouri, who attempted to de-

did not accuse the war president

Senator Glass, who was Secre-
tary of the Treasury under VIII
son, delivered a particularly bit
ing attack on those who accused
the war president. Boiled down,
the essence of the Nye charge is
that Wilson, shortly after our en-
try into the war, was advised of
the treaties under which the AL
lied powers agreed to divide up
the territorial spoils of the war.
President Wilson. before a COM
mittee Of congressman. stated that
the first information he had of
these treaties was when he went

PEOPLES FORUM


that plants do not die from the
effects of their spray, when evil
dences to the ignorant layman be-
lie the statement on every hand.
Is it that they gradually come to
adopt the tactics of the insect
world: "G;ve and take no quar-
ter"
When one considers this, he
wonders if, after all, there is an
insect here that might be. disas-
trous to Florida's citrus groves if
it got out Of the city, and wheth-
er it may not already be wide
spread owe: the state. Can one
believe such statements out of the
mouths of those who have con-
stantly told us that their spray
ing operations have not caused
plant damage in Key West? Again,
the word of these Learned wiz
ards" must be accepted; for who
of us poor ignorant laymen can
contradict
There are two more questions
that enter my mind. Do these doc
tors of science know of a formula
/. that will kill undesirable insect
life and at the same time preserve
plant life? Or, is it possible that
such men of science do not know
such a formula?
cannot bring myself to be-
lieve that they do not know of a
proper answer. l have sufficient
respect for their technical know
ledge that I feel that they do
know of satisfactory formula.
Now, why do they not use
proper formula? The answer, in.
my opinion, and the opinion of
many others here and elsewhere,
is that they wish to destroy GER
tain fruit trees in Key West. The
destruction of roses, ANNALS, vege-
tables. etc, is incidental. The
reason, again, in my opinion, is
that they wish to remove such
trees forever that are hosts to GER
tain insects. "Give and take no
quarter" Even if humans suffer
abjectly.
Better by far that everyone in
Key West should dig up every liv-
ng plant; better that Key West
should be a barren rock, devoid of
all foliage-and then say to the
Wizards sof the Insect World:

A VOICE OF COMPLAINT

Editor, The Citizen:
May | state, in the beginning,

with the unpleasant responsibility
of enforcing a the State Plant
Boards edicts here, in no wise re-
sponsible for the .morass of pub
lie i'll feeling in which it finds It
self. When the Legislature in
Psychological to the Plant Board,
authority to hold its own legisla-
tive meetings from time to time,
the issue was drawn. + ~
The most amusing aspect of the
spraying operation, to many Key
Westers is that, with about three
years of spraying here with va
rious kinds of spray, there has
never been a plant or tree killed
by the spray used.
Of course, one would realize
that the master etOmolog.s SITS and
plant specialists in Gainesville
know what is best to kill both in
sect and plant life, and everyone
appreciates that they would not
use a spray that would damage
useful plant life.
At least, having used a spray
that did damage to plant life, one
would not expect them to admit
that their knowledge of plants,
after all, was so limited that they
would use a spray that would kill
plants and trees, also.
Trees and plants in healthy con-
dition in Key West, prior to spray
ing, suddenly started to wilt and
die when sprayed. Most of our
citizens agree on this. When the
spraying stopped temporarily, the
trees and plants which had been
able to hold on started to take on
new life; only to die back again
when spraying was renewed.
The various answers of the
plant wizards in Gainesville are
amusing. 1t seems that if a rose
bush be accidently sprayed on one
part, and that part die, the bush
had cancer" If the bush be
sprayed entirely and die, it was
planted too deep" If a hog
plum or peach tree die, it was old
and about to die anyhow. Although
prior to spraying, these infirmi-
ties had never been noticed.
Never, no, never, on admission
by them that the medicine pre-
scribed and administered under
their direction might by any
chance have caused the wholesale
plant and tree deaths in Key West
these past few years.
Look at the testimony, sworn to
by these plant wizards; before
their God, in our courts! On this
testimony our lawyers argue and
our judges, not botanists them
selves and not versed in the ways
of the insect world, must decidel

Safety Zones Not Secure
For Waiting Pedestrians

To the Editor OF The star:
I read in the columns OF your respected
paper the account of the death Of one Of
our citizens. The most regretable fact
is that his death was the result of being
struck by an auto while he was standing
in a safety zone, presumably waiting for
q street car.
OF course, you have witnessed many
instances where men, women and also
children are standing in these so-called
safety zones waiting for q street car in
the day and. worse still. at night. Stand
ing there in q sort Of fretful manner,
staring at the coming autos. autos
that dart by on both sides. What q
strange spectacle to behold in this ad-
vanced age in which we are existing,
1t may be supposed that the flood of
events is too great for any one to single
out this alarming condition and advocate
Its abolishment. Yes, people will have
to continue to hasten across our streets
and stand there in the very middle at
the mercy of the multitude of drivers
without knowing which of them is safe.
Irrespective Of what the circumstances
may be, there is nothing that can miti-
gate the great injustice that is imposed
upon the people who are obliged to
tolerate such condition as part Of their
daily travel in this Capital City.

his war of conquest against Ethiopia,
violated both the covenant OF the
League of Nations and the Kellogg pact.
Now comes decrepit Austria and, on the
pretext that the NaN menace demands
it, re-establishes conscription under con-
ditions which presently will provide an
army Of roundly 100000 trained men.
Hungary plans to follow her former
partner of the dual monarchy in thus
abrogating the military clauses Of the
treaty OF st. German.
Austria's rearmament, which began
this week with the calling of eight thou
sand 2l-year-old men to the colors for
compulsory service, is not of itself de-
signed to upset the military equilibrium
on the Continent. It is important mainly
because Vienna's action is postulated on
the theory that the Hitler wolf is at the
door. The plan has the full support OF
Mussolini and Is taken in the teeth OF
warnings that the Little Entente states.
which possess vast areas Of former
Austrian Hungarian territory, are OPP
posed to letting Austria increase the
army of 10000 to which she was re-
stricted at st. Germain. Despite grow
ing Italo-German intimacy, II Duce still
frowns at the specter Of a Nazif1ed
Austria and a powerful Germany at the
Brenner Pass.
In the event Of too severe protests. the
schuschnigg government proposes to
submit its rearmament case to an inter-
national tribunal. When previously such
a recourse was taken regarding Austria's
affairs-projected tariff union with Ger
many-a World Court decision was ad-
verse. Whatever betides. treaty breaking
apparently has become a worldwide
habit and a more or less routine affair.
President Roosevelt once said that the
sanctity of treaties is the corner stone"
of international relations. The old block
has been pretty we'll jolted out OF its
foundations in our day and generation.
