Roosevelt was greatly pleased with
the public reaction TO his stand.
The Secretary pointed out that

WHO'S SUPERsTTIoUs9

Are any prospective candidates for the
Presidency very superstitious? If so. and
If they will ponder the following bit of his
tory they may not choose to run in 1910.
1t is curious fact that, beginning with
1910. all Presidents elected at 20-year in
tervals have died in office. And the fate
full 20-year period recurs in 1910. Here is
the strange record:
William Henry Harrison, elected in
1910; Abraham Lincoln, elected in 1860 ;
James A. Garfield, elected in 1880 VIII
liam Mckinley, elected in 1900. and War
rem c. Harding, elected in 1929, all died
while holding the office of President.
Harrison. who was So at the time of
his Inauguration, died of pneumonia exact
" one month later. Lincoln was reelected
in 1864, but was assassinated in the month
following his second Inauguration. Gar
field was assassinated few months after
taking office. McKinley's election in 1000
was for a second term, of which he had
served little more than six months before
his assassination. Harding died suddenly
at San Francisco, after serving two years
and nearly five months.
Thus il will be seen that of the six
Presidents who have died in office. five
are included in the foregoing list The
other, Zachary Taylor. was elected in 1s4s
and died in 1850.

Talking quietly before the SEN
ate Finance Committee last week,
leading business men gave their
views on profit-sharing as the
most equitable and most bust
ness-like method of establishing
and guaranteeing continuity of
friendly relations bewteen en-
ployers and employees. They en-
phasized that profit-sharing was
for successful companies only be-
cause otherwise there would be
nothing to share. The idea seems
to be to give workers an inter-
est in the success of a business
because they will profit in what
it makes. Speakers emphasized
that the plan was not to take the
place of, nor reduce, high wages
and differed upon whether the
government should make tax con-
cessions in favor of profit-sharing
corporations.

Japs Independent

The japanese reply to the note
of the United States Government
protesting against japanese dis
elimination in China, reveals Of
ficially that the Asiatic empire
has determined to throw off all
restraints and proceed along its
chosen path in China. This means
that eventually China will be OPP
Grated for the benefit of the jap
anese, at the expense of other na=
tons, unless Gen. Chang Kai-
Shek can arrange different out

indicates that relations with the
United States depends upon the
willingness of this country to
change its historic position in re-
spect to Chinese affairs and rec
ognize the new order" in the

SONS OF THE LEGION

Around 81 years ago some 100000
men responded to the call to the Amer
lean colors in the World War. They were
rather young then and the word "Amer-
icanism' didn't mean much at the time
because. until they entered the service. no
agency bad been set up to explain all that
is involved in the term. The majority re-
turned to civilian life, found work and
wives and settled down in the belief they.
had actually saved the world for demo-
cracy.
Times have changed, just as the belt
lines of the former servicemen have
changed-for the worse. Democracy has
been kicked off the face of the earth, ex-
cept in few isolated spots in the world.
Dictators have sprung up, opportunists all
of them, Selling control of governments,
ruling with iron fists, spreading their evil
doctrines in a fear-ridden press, sucking
their young on bottled hate and training
boys in their teens in warlike activities.
The average World War veteran stands
aghast at the spectacle. He knows war
and has learned to hate it-he wants
peace and lots of it-and can't under.
stand why peoples elsewhere go around
with chips ON their shoulders looking for
trouble
Some of the foreign poison has seep-
ed into the United States. Realizing this,
the American Legion has adopted plat
form calling for strong national defenses,
for a counter-offensive against foreigners
seeking to undermine our system of gov
eminent and for the teaching of the prin-
ciples of Americanism to the young of
this free nation. One of the steps in that
program is organization of Sons of the
Legion. AS the name implies, it is group
ing of the sons of American Legion men,
bers into squadrons in every city in the
country.
Here in Key West Friday night of
ficers of Arthur Sawyer Post No. %, Am
erican Legion, Department of Florida, set
up machinery for organizing the sons of
Legion members in this section. Some of
the objects are athletics, junior baseball,
a boys drum and bugle corps, boys
band, drill team and a social club.
The primary object, however, of the
Sons of the Legion, is Americanism-th
ideal that protects the common man
against the lashings of a dictator, gives
the American people a free press and
freedom of speech under common law en-
acted by legislative bodies duly elected by
themselves Americanism not ony in
wolves political democracy but social
democracy that exists nowhere else on
earth-and these facts will be presented
by the American Legion to their children
that this nation shall not perish in the
totalitarian fires sweeping the world.
The Citizen believes this is one of the
most worthy objects in the American
Legion program-one that will keep this
country true democracy, hold down
senseless radicalism and develop the boys
of Key West into courageous, thinking
American citizens.

will remain throughout the re-
gatta of All Nations. II have
rented home here and win d.
rect publicity from this point,
said Mr.. Traynor in conversation
with The Citizen. And I am as
sured of the hearty cooperation
of the Chamber of Commerce
and the citizens in general in
the work of getting things ready
for the reception of the visitors
and their vessels. MIR. Traynor
said that because Of the unusual
distance of the main race, Key
West to Havana, he would get
ready at once and start laying
out the course next Monday. He
win then start laying out the 9TH
er courses for the other races.

The conference, which begins
early in December at Lima, Peru,
will mark an intensive effort by
the United States to set in mo-
ton a defense of the Western
Hemisphere that will include the
concerted action of all the TWEEN
ty-one republics, as well as Can
ada. While South American
countries can make no major con-
tribution to their defense against
a great world power at this time,
there is no reason why such a
condition shall be allowed to con-
.tinue. Until the conference gets
under way, on the 9th, there is no
way to forecast exactly what
course the deliberations will take.
1t is safe assumption, however,
that the United States will lend
its influence, and maybe some
cash, toward persuading other ma
tons of the West, and particular
ly in South America, to take rea-
listic steps for their own protec-
ton.
