We read, this morning, of how
a huge sum, $7,5OO,O00,o0O, is to
be spent by England for defense
against lowering war. When we
think of how much good such a
sum might accomplish for man.
kind, in education, in the treat
|ent and study of disease and for
the encouragement of peace, we
must al feel sorry. War is both
costly and futile. How can we
contend against it?
Perhaps there IS no place in
the world less warlike than Key
West. Here. on a small island, is
to be found spirit of amity and
peace. How wonderful it would
be if this spirit could infect the
great empires arming for war!
Why should Key West keep S.
lent? Though a minute locality,
like the mustard seed, it might
produce vastly. Let us muse to-
gether how a little city ike Key
West, lacking in great wealth,
might help to show the world a
way to peace. How much inter-
est would be aroused towards
peace if everybody in Key West
wrote at least one letter to the
Prime Minister of Great Britain
and to the Premier of France,
urging peace in the name of the
Master and of civilization?
Who would expect such monu-
mental mission to spring from a
stone, rejected of the builders a
rock in the ocean? Yet all the
great cities of our country are TOP
feeble to launch the attack, fol-
getting David slew Goliath.
1t would be a miracle if such
an appeal could stem, in one small
iota, the vast tide. Yet it is sur
pris:ng how "the wind bloweth
where it listeth" and now small
movements are but the Goals Of
vast, woodworking benefits.
From your Place in the sun might
be spread the germ of future
peace.

PEOPLES FORUM
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
VANISHING AMERIcANIsM

Editor. The Citizen:
Has Americanism vanished or
become unpopular in Key West7
It appears so, and / ask the ques-
ton in the hope of being en-
lightened by some one better in
formed than myself. In the past
three years. or since we became
alphabetically categorical | have
noticed that our national holidays
and anniversaries are allowed to
pass unobserved. The echo of q
national salute may rise above
the exhaust Of a motor, but SEX
dom. No effort is put forth to
arouse patriotism or to inculeate
American ideals in our citizens.
My indignation is well aroused at
this. It appears to me that to
acknowledge American patriotism
is to acknowledge an inferior com
pick. Why so?
How does it happen when near
ly the entire population of this
island is accepting a livelihood
provided by our government, and
partaking of that glorious heritage.
passed to us by our forefathers
who fought and bled to give it to
us, that we make no effort to
keep alive the spirit that prompt
ed them to fight and bleed and
die that we might have the best
country on earth. Are we simply
ingrates?
Monday was Washington's
Birthday and it passed as any
other day. Several merchants dis
played American flags, other than
this sign of patriotism one would
not have known it was one OF our
great national anniversaries.
Schools, excepting the Catholic
schools that close annually on
Washington's Birthday, were
open; projects financed by gov
eminent funds went on as usual.
protest this lack of American
patriotism even though / be the
only one on the island to protest.
and if / be "a lone voice in the
Wilderness" for it's high time
some one raised a protest. 1t is
leading us away from the true
American spirit and each day we
are sacrificing some of our heri-
tage. Snug complacency never
got anyone anywhere, and never
has it given US outstanding
patriots.
There are public entertain
ments to entertain our people,
but the Constitution of the United
States finds no place on assembly
programs, and my friends, it needs
to be read and understood by
every man, woman and child in
this country surrounded as we are
by every "ism" other than good
American PATRIOTISM. We need
everything that will make more
and better Americans, and we
need to assert our rights as Amer
lean citizens and see that our ma
tional holidays are properly OBJ
served and we need to get back
to our old fashioned observance
Of those days to keep the spirit of
1776 alive. Let WPA stand for
WE'RE PATRIOTIC AMERI-
CANS, if it stands for anything,

There is sign out on Stock Is
land to the effect that it is two
miles to such and such a hostelry,
We checked it in and found that
it is three and one-half miles from
the sign to North Beach. We are
hoping that the hostelry doesn't
use the same rule in their rates.
Reflections: Those boys that
stand at semi-attention on Duval
street at night are wasting good
talent that could be used for mod
cling statues. Those built up
spaces on the water on two of the
Keys are becoming known as
cooling places for afternoon driv,
ers. More of them would not be
amiss. The bridge from Geigers
Key to Saddle lunches Key is
Just one mile long. The second
longest completely wooden bridge
in Florida. The longest wooden
bridge crosses the St. Johns River
from Green Cove Springs and is
two and three-quarter miles long.
There is nothing that surpasses
the warmth of woman's love.
but the heat Of her temper. And
nothing hath the curiosity of a
woman warned.
