A STUDY OF YOUTH

Harvard University, it is announced,
will undertake longtime study OF the
forces that have produced normal young
men," The idea, it seems, is to study Sc
ected students who will voluntarily investi-
gate heredity, constitution, family life,
school life and other elements pertaining
to the makeup of the individual.
This is not bad idea. 1t would be
profitable for all of us to know more
about the many factors that enter into our
composite being. BY knowing more of the
past we might be able to erect safeguards
against certain dangers in the future.
AS it is there is tendency on all sides
to criticize youth when, if the truth were
known, the criticism ought to be directed
against the elders and the ancestors of the
individual.
DIR. Nicholas Murray Butler, of Column
bia University, expresses the idea when he
says that the family, the church and the
school have weakened during the past
fifty years in their influence upon youth
and that, instead of making the youth of
the land the butt of our criticism we should
direct some of it as the elders.

Economic HghLights

The opening of the Eighth In
ternational Conference of Ameri-
can States at Lima, on December
8, marked the latest and perhaps
the most determined effort yet
made to preserve the peace of all
the Americas-and to establish
system of diplomatic fortifica-
tons against what this govern
ment regards as menacing activi-.
ties of foreign governments which
covet the trade and even the land
of the Republics to. the South.
Significant indeeds was,s the
speech. of Assistant Secretary of
State Berle on NovembeE 20,
when he said to the Americas:
eve are no longer two vast is
lands but part of an integrated
civilization. 1t is a significant
fact that never has there been so
large an area of peace maintain
ed for SO long period of time in
modern history. We are prepar-
ed to defend this position-and
to defend it on any line which
may seem necessary. Today's
Latin-American problems, from
our point of view, are much more
serious and difficult than when
President Hoover made his sue
cessful goodwill tour ten years
ago-or even when President
Roosevelt made similar tour in
1886. For generations we have
been Latin Americas ''big broth
err. No other pdwkr has been a
factor there to any significant
extent. But now Germany, Italy
and Japan are all, making strong
bids for Latin American favor
and we must outbid them if the
Monroe Doctrine is not to be-
come a dead letter, and much of
South Americas vast markets
closed to the products of our
farms and factories.
1t is an important fact that the
delegation appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to represent us at
the Conference was as non-po-
litical as could be asked. 1t was
headed, of course, by Secretary
Hull-passionate advocate of
peace and stimulated trade
among nations. 1t included a
priest who is an authority on
Latin American affairs, a college
professor whose speciality is in
ternational law, executives of
the CLIO and the AT OIL, a num-
Der of State Department experts,
and ALI M. Landon, who carried
the COPS presidential hopes in

AN INDIVIDUAL PROBLEM

Efforts to create an effective mos
quito control system in Key West and
Monroe county is not alone a problem for
public officials to undertake. There must
be the closest and heartiest kind of CO.
operation from the citizens of this area.
About all public officials, with the
funds available, can do is tell the general
public what should be done to keep the
pests within bounds. Every public-spirited
citizen must do his part to keep his own
cistern free of mosquitoes and to clear up
empty tin cans and other receptacles on his
lot to prevent them breeding in stagnant
water.
1t is interesting to note that since the
beginning of the present drive against the
mosquito workmen and inspectors en-
ployed by the city and the WPA have
placed 939 larvae-eating minnows in els
terms and other mosquito breeding places.
Approximately 200 inspections have been
completed and considerable number of
breeding places have been discovered.
These have been treated in various ways,
while workmen were destroying several
hundred cans in which the pests breed.
These are important steps, but must
soon be followed up or the effect will have
been lost. In cisterns where oil has been
placed to form covering to prevent breed
ing of mosquitoes, householders should be
time to time. The cost is small because a
very small quantity of oil will do the trick.
1t will be impossible for the few inspectors
now employed to cover the same ground
again and again if any progress is to be
made in bringing about effective control
Property owners and householders should
take up the fight where the inspectors
leave off,
Aside from the personal relief mos
quito control will give our citizens, it
should be remembered that many winter
visitors and tourists come from sections
where sthere are no mosquitoes and there
fore are not tolerant in their attitude to-
ward the pests Some folks are made
actually ill by the bite of mosquito
everyone is annoyed and bothered by it.
If Key West cannot control the mos
quito she might as we'll go out of business
as a tourist and resort center. Hundreds
of our property owners are preparing their
properties in various ways to handle the
trade and service demands of large
tourist influx each season. They should
be vitality concerned in Kidding the city of
a pest that drives tourists away as surely
as water puts out fire.

1886. Mr.. Landon's appointment,
it is believed, indicates an effort
of the President to unite the two
major parties so far as our for
eign policy is concerned. And
there seems to be an excellent
chance of that succeeding-anti-
New Deal spokesman and news
papers which are almost-100 per-
cent opposed to this Administra-
TONS domestic policies usually
endorse its foreign policies.
No one expects any great i'm
mediate results to follow this
conference. There will be many
| flowery speeches and formal ges-
lures of good will, for public con-
sumption. The real work will be
carried on largely behind the
scenes. Vast problems must be
discussed. For, as Newsweek
says, the conference must deal
with more than strictly american
affairs. War in Spain and China,
Nazi, Fascist and Japanese eco
nomic penetration and political
propaganda in South and Central
America had combined to build
up an atmosphere for this con-
ference which brought it back to
Bolivar's original conception of a
meeting to discuss the high in
terests of peace and war with
the rest of the world.
And in the meantime, Ameri-
can prestige Wanes as German,
Italian and Japanese dollars and
immigrants flow into the Latin
republics. The dictators extend
the hand of friendship and the
promises of trade and prosperity.
Already in, some of them strong
Nazi and Fascist trends have ap-
! peared. RumorS go the rounds
of secret air and naval bases so
situated as to make possible an
attack on the Canal Zone-and
while most experts regard these
rumors as being greatly exagger-
ated, they also realize that where
there is so much smoke there is
likely to be some fire.
The groundwork is now being
laid to restore Americas prestige.
What must be done in the future
no one knoWs-our course of ac-
ton must be fluid and elastic, if
it is to meet changing circum-
stances beyond our control. And
the basic issue involves much
more than tradeAit is Democracy
versus Fascism in that vast area
which lies beyond our territorial
borders.
