STEP BY STEP

The democratic countries of Europe
face the necessity of a final decision,
whether they are going to war, if neces-
sary, to prevent the autOcratic militaristic
countries from running rOugh-shOd over
Europe
The seriousness of the present situa-
ton fully justifies the position of those
who for many years urged that collective
action should have been taken to prevent
aggression in the past. Step by step the
dictators have accomplished their pur-
poses in the face of the natural hesitation
of peaee-loVing countries to risk war. -
In 1881, Japan violated its treaty
agreements and took Manchuria from
China. The United States vainly attempt
ed to form group of nations to uphold
the sanctity of treaties, but neither Britain
nor France would cooperate.
In 1888, Hitler surprised the world by
Germany's withdrawal from the League
of Nations
In 1884, Hitler shocked the world by
his famous blood purge" in which he
killed many men who had been his close
allies and friends to obtain unchallenged
mastery
In 1885, Hitler announced a defiance
of the Treaty of Versailles by proelaiming
Germany's intention to rearm.
In 1885, Italy, like Japan, violated its
treaties and the League covenant by cold
blOodedly invading Ethiopia and proceed
ing To conquer that nation.
In 1886, Hitler again violated the
Versailles Treaty when he marched his
soldiers into the Rhineland and reOccupied
it.
About a month ago Hitler summoned
the Austrian Chancellor Schuschnigg to
conference and under threat of invasion Sc
cured participation of Nazis in the Aus
trian Government; more recently, he
marched his soldiers into Austria and has
since annexed that nation to the German
Reich.
If the democratic, peace-lOving ma
TORS of the world could have united at
any time during this process to protect the
sanctity of treaties or the rights of weak
nations, the progressive steps by which the
world has been brought to the brink of
war would not have been taken.

SOME APPROVE TAXES

The payment of taxes is seldom re-
lished by citizens anywhere and the aver
age business man has an imbedded anti
pathy to sharing his profits with the gov
eminent
We can easily understand this feeling
The necessity for taxes, however, is created
by increasing activity of governmental
units, including Federal, State and local
agencies. The people generally, and bust
ness men themselves, continually seek the
use of government funds to finance speei-
fic projects. The process is apt to con-
tinue
Whether public funds are "squander-
ed, or not. usually depends upon the at
titude of the individual towards particular
undertakings. For example, the vast
amounts appropriated for relief is severely
criticised by some of those who pay taxes
but not by those who receive the aid of the
government
The same observation applies to
money paid to veterans. To the farmers and
even to that used to assist business itself.
The veterans, the farmers and the bene-
ficiaries of other largeSSes are for them
and those who do not share in the distri-
button are usually against them.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1938-03-21
LOCAL INITIATIVE NECESSARY

The permanent and profitable de-
velopment of any community, including
Key West. depends upon the spirit of its
citizens and their utilization of local re
sources of money. materials and intelli-
gence.
Contrary to much present day thought
our development does not depend upon the
amount of State money spent in our vici-
nifty or the amount of Federak cash that
can be sucked in. These funds may provide
a squirt but if their acceptance involves
surrender of local spirit the final plight Of
the municipality viii be worse than before
the money arrived
We are not saying that we should
foregO all advantages that come from out
side sources We suggest, however. that,
very often, the time and energy expended
in seeking outside aid could effect sub
stantial development Moreover. city or
town grows through the initiative and
ability of It's people and no temporary ad-
vintage Is worth sacrificing these attri-
butes.

more than $50, 600, 900 In the last
three years During that period
not far from the sum Of S1IO. 600,
600 worth of goods have passed
through this port bound for the
foreign markets In the same time
all the rest Of the state put to-
gethey has shipped TO foreign
countries only a little over S75.-
O0O, 600 worth. Key Vests exact
total for the period, excluding
July Of last year, for which fig
uTes are not available, is S107.-
1911 The total of the remain
ing sections Of the state cOmbin-
ed is S76. 29O,09l. This gives this
city an excess over the rest of the
state of Sd. sos. 026- 1t also shows
that Key Vests figures for the
past three years exports have
been exactly 61-5 percent Of the
total for the nine ports of Florida
combined. The reports are all

3 G.NSO.-Historic st. Andrews,
cradle of golfdom and the strictest
club in the world, gasped today
when Johnny Fischer, of Cincin-

for a win on the twenty-first green.
His ball Tipped the cup and he
knocked it in without waiting for
his opponents to play.
Bentley, without appealing to
the referee, winked at the rules
and conceded a half in 4.
