tiOnal and international Problems Insep-
arabic From Local Welfare

President Roosevelt's speech on
world affairs, in which he castigat-
ed relationships and proposed a
virtual quarantine of bellicose
powers, is perhaps the most i'm
portant international event OF
many months. It was greeted with
almost unanimous praise in
this country, by papers of
all political affiliations. 1t
charted definite course which
this government is apparently pre-
pared to follow. It was direct,
aggressive and, for the head of a
government, extremely daring In
the view of the experts, it is be-
believed certain that the British
and possibly the French foreign
offices were consulted before the
speech was made, and that the
plan of action laid down by the
President is approved by the three
great democracies of the world.
Mr.. Roosevelt's suggestion is as
simple as it is revolutionary. In
effect. he said that it might be
necessary to place a towering
commercial wall around the ma
tons which are responsible for
today's war scares and war pros
poets. Peaceful nations would re.
fuse to export to those countries.
and they would not import from
them. Little by little. as supplies
on hand dwindled, the belligerent
powers worid find themselves
lacking in the raw and finished
materials which are essential to
life both in peace and in war.
Thus, faced with want and priva-
ton, they would find it impos-
sible to pursue their dreams Of
conquest.
The President did not mention
any country by name. But II was
obvious that he was referring to
three powers: japan, Italy, Ger

Relative To Delinquent

Especial to The Citizen,

JACKSONVILLE, Oct. TO-
''The final results of the DeIin-
quent Tax Act, recently upheld
By the Supreme Court will con-
vince both the taxpayer and the
tax Ievying officials of Florida
that our present system of taxing
property Is both inequitabIe and
unenforeible, and must, in justice
10 all concerned, be completely re-
vissd'. according to a statement
released here today by C. p.
Welding, president of the Florida
Tax Revision League.
Mr.. Wedding predicts that
'those who viii get their back
taxes virtually cancelled under
this Act viii not start paying the
excessive property tax levies again
next year, but win permit their
property to become tax delin-
Quent again and wait for another
tax adjustment or cancellation"
"0n the other hand., said Mr..
Wedding, the property owners
who have been paying their taxes
IN the past realize that they have
been made a sucker and will join
the tax delinquent group antici-
pating a future adjustment at a
aaafi frnction Of the original
levy.
These developments viii, / be-
iieve, demonstrate to the tax
ievyifg authorities the fallacv of
our present inequitable methods
Of taxing property and bring for
ciDly 70 their attention the neces-
slty Of a complete revision Of our

posed By the league, which viii

jet to a just and equitable tax.

TRAINING FOR
BOY SCOUT WORK
Contributed

When a boy is given a thorough
training in discipline and service to
his fellow men, when he is taught
self help and self denial, when he
is accustomed to amuse himself in
doing something useful, when that
same boy goes through period of
constant endeavor to better himself
physically and morally and to en-
Joy the companionsf1ip and whole
some association Of other boys, then
we say he is bound to become a good
citizen and be an asset to his COM
munity when he takes his place
amongst the men of his home town.
These few words in my estimation
describe truthfully and without un-
due boasting what we are doing for
the boys of Nogales in training
them in Boy Scout work. And in
laying emphasis in this fact we al
so feel that we have place IN the
affection of our fellow citizens and
do not feel ashamed in asking for
the help and cooperation OF the
community at large in carrying on
what we think is a worth while work
and a movement that cannot help
but result in building better citizen
ship for the future.
