should not be overlooked that without
the adherence of Burgos and Valencia
(the two Spanish factions, any deci-
sions on the question would fail to
lead to practical results.
All the more so when one remem-
bers the attitude of the representative
Of Valencia Cthe Spanish government, i,

in his speech at Geneva any possi-
bility Of evacuation Of volunteers en-

1t is the conviction of the Fascist
government that the adoption of pro-
cedures-even If only preliminary
outside the London Mon Interven-
tom Committee and its organs, would
in the present situation result not
only in not diminishing, but increas-
ing the possibility of misunderstand-
ing and complications and In retarding

OF general agreement, an agreement
which the Fascist government regards
as supremely necessary.
The Fascist government is, there
lore, OF the opinion that the question
OF non-intervention should continue to
be dealt with by the London Com
mittee.
The Fascist government has, finally,
the honor to state that it will not

FROM NAVY RACE
New Law Needed Before
America Could Vie With
Other Powers,
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A new law would be required before
the United States might enter a naval
construction race with the worlds
other great powers.
While Great Britain proclaims a
heet-eXpansion program matched "on
only rare occasions" in its history, the
United States is bound by its own in
dependent action-the Vinson- Tram
nell act Of 1934-to build its navy
only to the strength permitted by
noW-defunct naval treaties.
Great Britain had the largest fleet
IN the world at the start of this year.
1t totaled l,l89,708 tons, only 49,66O
tons under the London naval treaty
limits after both it and Japan invoked
the so-called ''escalator clauses" in
creasing treaty maXima
Anthony Eden, England's foreign
secretary. told the League of Nations
assembly recently his nations current
construction program totaled 100000
tons, excluding vessels launched since
January l, and the $4,000 tons Par
udmenI mas approved.
U. S. Fleet Called Fit.
The United States feet at the turn
OF the year totaled 1,077355 tons,
120238 tons shy of treaty limitations
Ships under construction or for which
appropria tons had been made on July
/, totaled 335,565 tons.
Charles Edison. Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, said after a recent in
spection trip of the departments Pa

He warned, however, that the
United States could not afford, "in
these days of worldwide strife" to
diminish its efforts to build the Navy
to full treaty limits.
A few days later, Secretary Swan
son announced reorganization OF
the feet to obtain a maximum battle
efficiency and greater striking force.
He said that on October l, all but
one Of the Navy's patrol plane squad

of the Navy -along tactical" rather
than administrative" lines would give
the scouting force greater range, mo-
bility and efficiency and at the same
time would increase the power of the
fighting arm of the service.
When the 1880 London naval treaty
expired last December 81, Great
Britain. the United States and Japan,
the signatories, were relieved of total
tonnage limitations for their fleets.
Great Britain, the United States and
France entered into a compact in
March, 1886, however. placing quail
tative" rather than "quantitative"
limits on their navies.
They agreed that each category of
vessel should not exceed a certain
size, but permitted construction of an
unlimited number of each type.
Thus, on January l, 1887, Japan
had no treaty obligations with other
major powers; Great Britain and
France could build any number of
ships of specified tonnages; the United
States also subscribed to this quail
tative" principle and. in addition,
had limited itself through the Vinson-
Trammell act to a tonnage which
England, Japan and this Nation orig
1nally approved.

HOW ABOUT FAMILY LIFE?

One Of the amazing truths that greet
students of modern life is the failure of
so many people. men, women and children,
TO take a personal interest in the develop
ment of a happy, safe and intelligent
family.
Men who are wizards in the business
world make miserable failures as husbands
and fathers. Mothers who are attractive
in looks and intelligent in activities also
fail dismally in making their homes dupli-
cate these attributes Children who amaze
strangers by their good qualities rarely
exhibit these same virtues within the
family circle.
Let US make plain that we are not
talking about dissolute, profligate or
worthless people, We are referring to the
people in communities who are considered
the backbone of local society and the pace
settlers of local affairs Nor do we intend
to assert that charming family life does not
exist in Key West; what we call attention
to is that too often it is not to be found in
the homes where one would expect to look
for utmost felicity.
There will be some people, who read
this, and realize that their family, as so
cial unit, is happy, harmonious. cooperative
and eminently successful by any standard.
These people are to be admired. Whether
they know it or not. they are somewhat
more fortunate than many others.
There will be other men and women
who will instantly admit to themselves
that their own home life and its develop
ment of admirable family traits is not as it
might have been. What is the answer
Boiled down, let's call it selfishness, and
think the problem out on this basis. The
solution of many family feud and the
end of many blood-battle will be the re-
suit.

cANADA's BIRTHDAY

July will mark the 10th anniver-
sary of the Dominion of Canada under its
present form of government, and the
United States will felicitate her northern
neighbor on completing three score and
ten years of national unity.
That these two countries have lived So
long in peace. separated only by an
imaginary line 1000 miles long, without a.
fortification on either side. illustrates that
neighborliness even between great nations
is possible when both are animated by a
spirit of genuine friendliness and good
will
After the inter-colonial wars had end
ed in the cession of Canada to Great
Britain by France. considerable antagonism
between the French and English elements
of the population developed, resulting in
the separation of Upper and Lower Canada
in 1871. Discomfort still prevailed, how
ever. and after instructions in both they
were reunited in 1871, but with little bet
ter results.
1t was not until July 1. 1867. that
lasting union of the several provinces was
effected. under federal form of govern
ment which joined Ontario. Quebec Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick, the nation be-
ing thereafter known as the Dominion of
Canada. The Northwest Territories joined
the federation in 1870, since which time

WINGED that the solution of our social, eco

These people might be right if their
conception of education is broad enough to
include not only the acquisition of infor-
nation that passes for intelligence but also
the physical, social and cultural develop
ment of the boys and girls who will make
our next generation.
We purposely omit the ethical and
religious training that must be included in
any individual life because this should
come from the home and the church pri-
marily instead of the public school.

panying distress demands Increased
for more imitation and 50 more cur
rency was issued TO relieve the tenn
porary distress.
France went through the common
cycle. She started imitation. then at
tackled business then infated sons
more to relieve the distress. then
placed more severe regulation On
business and instituted progressively
more severe punitive measures until
people were sent to the guiilotine for
violating the price regulations. or for
boarding commodities. or for not pro-
ducing commodities which. could Be
produced only at loss.
We. In this country. went through
the same sequence Of events at the
time Of the American Revolution We
merely stopped short Of sending peo-
pie to the guillotine. Even as recently
as the World War We conducted drives
against so-called prodteers and rent
gatherers. and engaged in price-ix-
ing. After that experience. the Fed
eral government publishes q large
study in which il was recommended
that price-fixing and such govern
ment devices for combating rising
prices due TO inaationary forces Be
not repeated in the future.
Despite all these lessons, u seems
quite clear that our Federal govern
ment is at this moment attempting 70
fight the existing inf1ationary forces
By q variety of attacks on business
which have retarded business activity
and are leading 20 increasing uncer-
tainty and distress. None Of these de-
vices win remove the present infla-
ton The inflated purchasing power
OF which we hear so much is already
in existence. The problem IS 70 1iqui-
date It without loss
Restricting and hampering business
activity does not make il easier TO re-
tire this inflated purchasing power
il makes its liquidation more difficult
A large proportion Of the excessive
currency in circulation Is composed Of
bank deposits resting upon the gov
eminent debt Hampering business
and reducing prices win not reduce
imitation; il will make It increasingly
difficult to raise the taxes with which
to balance the Federal budget and 70
retire government securities and this
inflated purchasing power.
The way to curb imitation Is 70 at
tack 1t directly. Our government Is
not doing this. Il IS coercing business
and generating the distress which
probably wiz lead to even more in
hation-
.hor care of this netrspoper)
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-06-30

about such a situation is that people
are inclined to assume that such .
slowing up in rise in prices or in
business activity Is evidence that the
danger Of the forces of imitation has
passed This gives the public q false
sense Of security.
When government embarks upon
q policy Of currency imitation. as our
government did in 1888 and has per-
sisted in since. there arrives 3 time
when it becomes frightened lest the
inflationary forces lead 20 excuses IN
business expansion and TO prices that
cannot be sustained When a govern
ment becomes concerned over these
prospects, it almost invariably
launches out on . program designed
to restrict prices and to cut business
activity in certain respects.
It is common for such program TO
involve price-ixing. attacks on
monopolies on the theory that mon
opolists cause the high prices. attacks
on SO-ca!led profteers. and various
other forms of curbing or attacking
business enterprise and prices. In
short. the tendency is for the govern
ment TO attack everything except the
real causes Of the inHationary proce-
dure.
There are many instances OF this
sort Of governmental procedure For
example. when France issued her ia
nous asSignafs at the end of the eight
zenith century, prices rose and busi-
ness expanded Her government be-
came fearful and began to regulate
prices and business. Both sagged
