HITLER'S SUNDAY HINT

NURNBERG, Sept. l2.-Chancel- Tor Adolf Hitler strongly hinted that the union of the Sudeten German region in Czechoslovakia to Greater Germany, alone can satisfy his de- mands.
 Addressing 100000 Storm Troop CTS and the Naz Party Congress OH Sunday, Hitler declared that new Germany stands before us. We have good fortune and love in it. To other Germans this is still denied, for the time being.

Fails to Answer Question World Awaits on His
 Intentions
 ISSUE UNSETTLED
Declares His Nation Only Standing Bly, for
 Rights of Sudetens
(By Associated Press)

Chancellor Adolf Hitler to- night demanded that Czecho- slovakia give 3,500,000 Sudeten
 Germans "their rights" but he did not indicate precisely what his intentions are wards
 CZechoslOvakia.
 Hitler talked passionately for 78 minutes as the climax to the Tenth Annual Nazi Party Con- gress.
 Hitler, however, left unans swered the question the world waited anxiously to hear him discuss will Germany use force to achieve her ambitions for Sudeten Germans?"
 Hitler made it clear only that Germany is standing by to see that the German minority in Czechoslovakia obtains the right of self determination"
 CHALLENGING REMARK
 Hitler promised and uncondition- ally in saying: T assure the democ- racies of the world that the fate of Sudetens is not a matter of indifference to us and if these harassed people feel they are with out their rights and need aid, they will get it from us."
 Hitler said challengingly: "The Almighty did not create three and one half million Sudeten Germans to deliver them over to a hated foreign regime. The Almighty did not create seven million Czechs to act as guardian of these Ger 
 Peaceful Solution
 As last possibility of a peaceful solution of a conflict with Czecho- slovakia, Hitler suggested self-de- for Sudetens in the Czech nation without explaining, however, what machinery should be invoked.
 Hitler's hatred for the Czechs, of whom he spoke in contemptuous terms, centered upon the person. ity of President Benes.
 "Benes invented lie. We mob- ilized our troops on May 21," he charged. s. Ak1

GIVE OUR BoATMEN A CHANCE

Owners of the Key West fleet of
charter boats have organized an association
for their mutual protection and for the pro-
tection OF the game fish which abound in
our waters. The fishing grounds all along
the Florida Keys and off Key West are
world-renowned and will do as much as
anything the next few years, as in the
past, to attract vacationists andbfWinter
residents.
The boat owners can do nnis9efi TO pre-
vert needless destruction of game fish.
They can be sure that after the parties they
guide have taken reasonable number of
sailfish, amberjack or tarpon, the others
caught, il uninjured after being brought
to boat, are released to provide other fish
ermen with sport and to propagate them
selves.
One of the other proposals advanced
by the boatmen's association is the passage
Of city ordinance providing for ar ex-
aiming board of guides and boat hand
lers. A requirement to obtaining a Key
West license would be residence here for
six months. 1t is argued this would keep out
the ily-by-night boatmen who have done
SO mucH TO cHedpeH the llSHiES dCIlVlIleS
around Miami and Miami Beach.
S 50 We can see no harm inssuch an ordi-
nance il the boatmen wh0'ilcbmpose the
.boaId, of examiners act wiselyaan reason
Ably 1t is certain that thee demand for
ehagterboats viii increase measurably next
falitiaEd winter and in the years to come.
1.-The examining board must make allow
ance for such an expansion and issue licen-
SEES in pace with the development. If this is
not done some of the charter boat business
will slip entirely away from Key West and
go elsewhere. That would hurt other Key
West businesses based on the tourist aEd
vacation trade.
On the whole our boat owners are
competent, level-headed businessmen and
the majority can be trusted properly to
handle the charter ship industry After all,
ships cannot be legislated off our waters
All that can be done is to curtail solicita-
ton of fishermen on land. Therefore, mod
Grafton should be the Watchword of the
charter boat owners.

MOTHER NATURE

Oft as / wander in memory,
Dream Of my childhood days,
! wonder l did not realize
More of Nature and her ways
Our best teacher is Mother
Nature
She instructs us only one
way.
Those of us who are trans
gressors
VIII live to rue it some day.
The animals, trees and flow
ers,
Vegetation of every kind
Acts and responds to Nature;
We humans seem to be blind.
For Nature will not be beaten
And man with his futile brain
Forgets that God is Nature
Only He can make it rain.
So as we destroy our forests,
Keep digging canals to drain,
We reap in the form of dust
storms
For Nature rules the game.

DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just 10 Years
Ago Today As Taken From
The Files OF The Citizen

Councils action in rejecting the
Meacham proposal to drill for
water here and going on record
as favoring a bond issue of $780,
900 to be spent in drilling a rnuni--
cipal well, is still the subject of
widespread comment today. Opin-
ions as to the wisdom of councils
action differ, widely. Many are
opposed to- such a bond issue.
They say the chanches are
against finding such water. If the
well is sunk at the city's expense
and no water is found, the city
will simply have lost whatever
the well will have cost. Too it is
shown that one well will not be
enough to determine whether
there is water here unless that
well strikes it. If one dry well was
sunk that should not prove that
another would not strike water.
Biologists admit the truth of this
contention. All those who have
considered the ACCESSIBILITY of
drilling here admit the truth of
this contention. Every person who
has considered the idea of sinking
well in Key West, were pre-
pared to sink at least two wells
before deciding that the case is
hopeless.

ETHEL ERNEST MURRELL



If you can stand a little seven
teenth century language, follow
while we quote again: Upon
this principle, of an union of hus-
band and wife, depend almost all
the legal rights, duties and dis
abilities, that either of them ac-
quire by the marriage. speak
not, at present of the rights of
property, but Of such as are
merely personal. For this reason
man cannot grant anything to
his wife or enter into covenant
with her, for the grant would be
to suppose her separate exist
ence, and to covenant with her
would be only to covenant with
himself; and therefore it is also
generally true that all compacts
made between husband and wife
when single are voided by the in
ter-marriage. A woman, indeed,
may be attorney for her husband,
for that implies no separation
from, but is rather a representa-
ton of, her lord. And a hus-
band may also bequeath any
thing to his wife by will, for that
cannot take effect till the cove
ture is determined by his death.
The husband is bound to provide
his wife with necessaries by law
as such as himself, and if she
contracts debts for them he is
obliged TO pay for them. Ibpt. for
anything besides necessaries he is
not chargeable". '..,,a., i

SNOW WHITE COMING
TO THE STEVENSON

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"
begins an engagement on Thursday
at the Stevenson Theatre. This is
the first Walt Disney animated film
produced in feature-length Techni-
color, which has been declared by
newspaper critics to be the season
biggest sensation. 1t is unique in
more ways than one, combining as it
does the pleasures and lure of fan
tasy with excellent drama and high
pressure comedy. The plot is deriv-
ed from the best known story in
Grimms' Book of folk tales, and this
factor alone will attract patrons. The
young folks will be impatient to see
their favorite Princess, Snow White
in all her loneliness on the screen,
alive, as they have often seen her in
imagination, as we'll as the wicked
Queen, the evil Witch, the funny Lit
tie Men, and all the other inhabitants
of the mystic folk country. The older
movie fans will be equally glad to re.
new their acquaintance with the fic.
ton friends of their childhood!
