In this connection, the Mr..
Keller said:
"ThiS cOmmitte is not trying
to select site for the memorial.
That is entirely up to the me-
mortal commission which we are
not attempting to criticize or in

to me that the AnacOStia site
would be a splendid location for
the memorial"
"HIGH COST" OPPOSED
The first witness today was Rep
resentative Henry C. Luckey CD
of Nebraska, who opposed the
Tidal Basin site because of the fact
that estimates show that the me-
mortal will cost more than the
100000 authorized by Congress.
He told the committee that in the
interests of the present economy
wave in Government expenditures,
the high cost" of the proposed
memorial would be inappropriate
at the present time.
When Mrs. Charles Edward
Russell, wife of the well-known
author, opposed the Tidal Basin
site on the grounds that it would

BUSINESS MIsREPREsENTED

So-called big business in the United
States has suffered considerably from the
Misrepresentation of callous minority
The better type of business executive has
some reason, the ruthless individualists
have been able to get by with anything to
the great detriment of honest and legiti-
mate enterprise. Every once in a while,
however, one runs across an utterance on
dicates that there may be better days
ahead
Recently, William A. Thompson, di-
rector of an advertising bureau, suggested
to business men that they educate the pub
lie. He suggested that business men tell
the people about the value of their serv-
ices and that they use intelligent methods
to eliminate public ignorance and popular
prejudice in order to make the country
safe for industry.
He urged business to make 'its case
clear and to organize the mighty force of
public opinion behind it, but, he points
out, I'VE cannot escape the fact that if
many business enterprises would plead
their causes to the public,s they must first
clean their own premises and come into
court with clean hands, $3.50 ~ ==s===
This is probably good advice, not
only for business, but for some of the pro-
LESSONS as we'll. Too often an entire in
dustry or profession carries the blame for
the practices of a small minority. In many
instances, ruthless competition breaks
down proper ethics and the whole indus
try or profession suffers from the mis-
deeds of few. This happens to be so be-
cause creditable and responsible leaders
of industries and professions permit
scamps and scallawags to do as they please
without making any definite effort to halt
their nefarious practices.

THE POSITION OF THE SOUTH
ATLANTA Constitution)

Democrats OF the South have given greater
allegiance to President Roosevelt than to any
president since Cleveland They hailed his broad
program of benefits for the submerged portion Of
the population because of the great humanitarian
principles it embodied. They agree intellectually
in the objective of social security for all and a
lairer division of the comforts OF life.
But they cannot, and should not, eondone aban-

NEUTRALITY DIFFICULT

The difficulties involved in any policy
of neutrality become apparent when one
contemplates the relative position of Japan
and China in regards to securing supplies
from the United States.
Force of circumstances, rather than
law, makes this country the economic ally
of Japan. The japanese buy large guam
titles of raw material here and some of it
is useful in warfare. Moreover, the Jap
anese have the ships to transport the
goods that they buy The Chinese, with
out shipping, and blockaded by the Jap
enese fleet, are almost cut off from access
to our market for anything at all.
If China possessed fleet to transport
the goods that it might buy and ports
through which they could be landed then
there would be something like equality.
Under present national policies of this
country the hope of the Chinese, to use
American ships for transporting goods, is
vain even though we recognize that the
Japanese are the aggressors and waging a
war of conquest in utter violation of inter
national law.

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From The Files OF The Citizen

The American Red Cross has
commenced its annual undertake
ing of preparing Christmas bags
for the thousands of American
soldiers, sailors and marines on
duty and in hospitals in foreign
lands. This year $4,000 of the
gift packages will be required and
the Key West chapters quota is
only 10, which are suggested in
the literature sent out by the Ma
tional Red Cross. Al dainty post
card is enclosed and a bright
Christmas label is attached to
each package. These enable the
receiver to send thanks to the
person preparing the package. Ten
Key West organizations have each
promised to furnish one of these
gift packages to Miss Emma f.
Lyon, local secretary of the Red
Cross, and have them ready to be
sent with the first consignment.
Red Cross gift kits will this year
go to the men who are in the
Philippines, China, Samoa, Guam,
Hawaii, Alaska, Canal Zone,
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Is
lands.
