Carefully preserved and in good re-

were fashioned simply and beautifully

modern times with the perfection of

who had lived in other sections of our
country and in Europe remarked that
she was fooled not so much by new
houses built to initiate old ones, but
by old ones so bright and shiny that
they looked like new ones. Except for
increasing beauty by hand-polishing
and seasoning of old wood, this holds
true for many antiques which have
been in constant use for more than

THE cables from Palestine in recent
months have been filled with news
Of continued discord between Jews
and Arabs; news which brings a num-
Der OF questions to the mind Of the
thoughtful reader. Can peace be
brought to Palestine? What are the
basic issues involved in the existing
impasse in the Holy Land? Which,
if either, is the aggrieved party? Have
any solutions for the problems been
offered? To the first question only
the future can give the final answer,
but on the others many have at least
expressed opinions.
These books and magazines and
other material on the same subject
are to be found at the Public Library,
in the central building at Eighth and
K street NV.
The philosophy Of Zionism which
impelled the Jews to seek to build a
national homeland in Palestine and
the difficulties which arose when men
and women attempted to translate a
dream into reality are ably treated
in the first section of Horace M. Kali
lens Frontiers of Hope" Ludwig
Lewisohn, in Israel" notable alike
for its Lyric finished prose" and its
thought provoking qualities, traces the
growth of the Zionist movement and
tells of the authors hopes for the
future of his people. The Land of
Promise" by Edmond' Fleg, depicts
the reactions to Palestine of a French
Jew torn between nostalgia for a
homeland Of his own and the lure Of
Western culture he has grown to
love.
This conflict between two sharply
contrasting civilizations is felt even
more deeply when the forces under
lying the Arab-Jewish dispute are
considered. The inability of the Arab
to understand the modern habits Of

A WORTHY PROJECT

As The Citizen has pointed out be-
fore, Key West within a very short time
is going to be confronted with a serious
housing problem. Not a problem Of supply
residents necessarily. for if that type of
demand is heavy enough new hotels and
apartments will be built for that purpose,
but problem of providing homes for our
own residents, particularly the very poor.
Hardly day passes that does not see
the passing of some old cottage, cabin or
tumbledown shack. These for years had
been occupied, giving shelter of a kind the
occupants could afford. Often they paid no
rent at all, but were permitted to live in the
shacks through the sufferance of the own
ers Now the owners see economic light
ahead and are razing the old structures to
enhance the attractiveness of their proper
ties or to make way for projected new
buildings.
What is becoming of the poor who oc-
cupied those old homes? In general, they
are doubling up with other poor families
in other old buildings. The housing of these
people is becoming an acute problem that
demands solution Some of our civic or
CARNATIONS are proposing to encourage a
loW-cost housing program financed by the
federal government. The proposal should
be pushed ahead with all speed. 49, -. Pr 81 q
Today the WPA is starting a project
which will gather data on the seitS,,s housee
Jag capacity to be used by, the Federal
Housing Administration and other agencies
in the consideration of building projects of
all kinds. Every, dwelling and business
structure will be studied The number of
families in each building, the condition of
the structure, the furniture and other
equipment. the water supply and other
facts will be noted by the surveyors.
When this survey, praiseworthy
project, is completed, it will be valuable
document. All the guesswork will be TAX
en- out of the housing problem. Where and
how it should be attacked will be imme-
diately apparent. 1t will enable proper
planning for the future so that all residents
may be adequately, properly and reason
ably sheltered.

RELIEF AND THE STATES

The unemployment situation in the
United States has grown worse in the past
six months, according to the President of
the United States. This means that de-
mands for relief will be greater in the
future. Some experts predict that the load
will grow steadily for the next three
months
The people of the United States seem
to he facing the problem of permanent re-
lief It is time for them to think and form
uIate definite policy toward relief. There
is much difference OF opinion but practic-
ally everyone admits that the needy should
have succor.
One subject Of debate is whether the
work of relief should be turned over to To-
cal. community and state governments.
This is advocated by many financial and
industrial leaders, including Oryil w.
Adams. president of the American Bank-
ers' Association, who declares that 4 sound
fiscal policy in Government "can never be
achieved until the major part of the relief
load is turned back to local communities.
Mr. Adams says, providing for the
worthy needy is legitimate function of
local and State governments and should
never have been centralized at political
Washington There are many persons
who will agree with this statement, in-
Guiding some Federal officials. who would
be glad to see the states and local com-
munities finance the relief needs of their
people. AT the same time, one should not
overlook the local and state officials who
beat the tomtoms at Washington when
ever there seems to be tendney to cut
dawn on the amount of Federal funds to be
spent for relief
We are frank to admit preference
for the handling Of relief By local and
state agencies. We think it would be fine
if each state could care Cor its own peo-
pie, Such process would relieve the
Federal Government Of heavy expense
and almost balance the budget.

CZECH cApITULATIoN

It is the fight these days against
Fascism on the one hand and
Communism on the other. These
factors shape themselves into the
existing conditions. 1t is the case
in Sudeten Czechoslovakia. The
powerful, outside force of Ger
man Fascism, which is the
strength. The condition is the poor
economic shape that Czech sec
ton is in. Opposing Fascist power
is Democratic power with touch
of Communism, as democracies,
allowing voice to all, involve.
This Czech power is not as strong
as the Fascist power, and it is al
most certain that its democracy
avails but little in the poor con-
ditiOns of their Sudeten section
Democracy may not be a strong
as the capitalism within itself at
times. Czechoslovakia is in a very
difficult position. Germany is not
yet ready for war. Meanwhile it
can poverize Czechoslovakia with
closing its trade routes up to that
country, and czechoslovakia will
be hurt badly What capitulation
this may bring is a question for
thought! II can bring concession
to which no foreign country
would object, since Czechoslo-
vakia would itself allow slicing of
its territory. The world would
object to war, on the other hand.

talism. Traces of this still re-
mains. The clothing market is
now glutted. What do clothing
manufacturers wish? They want
the government to buy their sell
fishly piled up surplus SO that
they can turn the wheels of in
dustry again. If they are DESTROYS,
indeed, of aiding the country's
ECONOMIC. balance, why not agree
to sell the surplus at manufactur-
ing cost. The government is hav-
ing a hard enough time now get
ting out of its own relief jams be-
sides curing the mistakes of CAPT.
talists. The reason for the manu-
featuring plea in this case is real
ly that it wishes the government
to buy the entire surplus at once
instead of in small lots. In reality,
it wishes the government to aid
its own greediness.
