the poles. geographically as well
as otherwise, went to the poles to-
day in primary contests. The re-
suits are important to President
Roosevelt and the New Deal.
In both South Carolina and

has risked his political prestige by
taking sides in Democratic family

THE HIGHWAY TOLL

As the last quarter of the year wends
its way, one might take out enough time
from other worries and tribulations to
think for moment of the continuing
casualties on public highways.
The enormous death toll exacted by
modern vehicles seems to be entirely an
warranted and is largely due to the care
lessness of drivers and the laxness of police
officers in rigidly enforcing speed laws
and motor car requirements.
1t has been suggested time and again
that every automobile accident be vigor-
ously investigated and that the blame be
attached to the culpable driver. Subse-
Qaent accidents. even of minor nature.
which would tend to show an unfit opera
tor of motor vehicles should be followed
BY Punishment from the highways.

SOUTH AMERICAN PEACE

Ending a century-old dispute between
Bolivia and Paraguay over border re-
gion known as the Gran Chaco, an agree
ment was signed by representatives of the
two nations last week, whereby the award
Of an arbitration commission was ac-
copied.
The Gran Chaco contains about 100,-
900 square miles, or approximately the
area of Colorado, but is not of great value,
being for the most part a swampy Jungle.
Yet the struggle over it has been one of
the most bitter in South American history.
It is estimated that in the latest war for its
possession, which began in 1882, more
than 100000 lives have been lost.
After many fruitless attempts to settle
the dispute, treaty was finally signed,
agreeingItoi accept the findings of boun-
Diary conqpmiss sElG eQppQSegdlr Of the presi-
aeeRts ofIthe IIpitiA tstes. Argentine,
Brazil, Chile, Peru and Uruguay, or repre-
sentatives appointed by them.
The commissions award, which has
just been formally accepted by Bolivia and
Paraguay, gives about two-thirds of the
disputed area to Paraguay, and leaves
Bolivia without desired outlet to the sea
by way of the Paraguay river. Although
disappointed over the award, Bolivia ac-
copied it with good grace, and the Bolivian
representative declared that his country
now extends the hand of friendship to
Paraguay"

HERE ARE SOME IFS"

There is no general agreement,
so far as we are aware, by the
population that the United States
should declare war upon Japan if
that nation snatches the Philip
pines before we turn them loose.
Who knows whether the people
of the United States have deter
mined to fight to prevent Italy
and Germany from instigating a
revolt" in some South American
country in order to take over ter
ritory in that continent? Would
we, as a people, fight for Hawaii,
Alaska and Guam? Would we
fight to retain the right to trade
with other nations if a fascist bloc
controlled the seas and asserted
the same right in regard to world
trade that Japan is, in fact, as
sorting in China?

SUGGESTIONS FOR BUILDERS

some years ago Tne Key west Al
ministration put out a lite booklet about
the city AT the back of the booklet adj
ministration officials, pointing out that the
rehabilitation of Key West involved ex-
penditure of public funds, asked for criti-
cisms and suggestions from the public. Re-
plies have been received from every quar-
ter of the world and have been coming in
a steady stream for several years. Just
the other day one was received from a
man residing in Augusta, Ga. He said:
"Do not allow any modern type of
building to be erected. Garry out the old
building design. Keep out things that
would make it look like Miami. Keep Key
West different"
There is food for considerable thought
in that suggestion. Key West is different.
Globe circlers and travellers attest this
fact. Many of the latest additions to our
new directory of citizens prove it. They
declare that Key West possesses charm
and an individuality that made it irresist-
ably attractive to them, so they decided to
settle here.
What are the factors that make this
city different from all others? Certainly
one of them is architecture The careful
observer will note homes designed by ar
chitects land builders who were influenced
bgShe English, the West Indian, the South
seEnE Colonial and the New England Colonial
types of structures. The general design of
our an old building2i9a1 uHoa of these varia-
,tions, There are balconies and suffered
windows. They offered access to every
transient breeze, protected against the
tropical sun and intermittent storms. Some
interiors are ceiled with wooden panels,
many of the homes have beautifully dec
Grated cornices of wood or iron.
No competent architect or builder can
deny the distinctive beauty of our old
homes and buildings. Every prospective
builder should think twice before deciding
against adaptation of the Key West type
of architecture. Any architect will tell
you it is possible to employ the distinctive
features of the Key West type in the de-
sign of exteriors while providing for every
good modern Improvement in the interiors
The Citizen believes one way to keep
Key West different is to retain the Key
West influence in the future design and
construction of new homes and buildings.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE?

There have been assumptions
from time to time, such as the
belief that popular opinion sup
ports the Monroe Doctrine, even
to the defense of territory any
where in this hemisphere from
attack of European and Asiatic
powers. So far as we know, how
ever, there has been no direct
expression of the will of the peo-
pie on this lone policy. Certain
~, there has been nothing like a
popular accetance of the burden
Of armament that such policy
entails in the face of present
world conditions. In fact. there
is hardly a general understanding
of the necessity for ornaments
even in the face of a conviction
that we should uphold the Mon
roe Doctrine.

WILL AMERICA FIGHT?

Naturally, the impression exists
in many foreign countries that
the people of the United States
are 50 anxious for peace that they
will not fight under any circum-
stances, short of an actual inva-
sion of the continental area of
this country. 1t is, no doubt, as
sumed in some quarters that the
demand for peace is so strong in
America that nothing short of a
violent assault upon our homes
and our persons will arouse the
people of the United States to a
fighting pitch.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1938-10-18

1t is assumed everywhere that
we, as people, will fight to do
fend our country. 1t is by no
means fixed in the minds of for
eign observers whether we will
go to war to defend outlying pos
sessions, to defend South Amer
lea from European or Asiatic at
tack, or to protest our just rights
in connection with commerce
anywhere in the world. It is
doubtful, in foreign circles,
whether the people of the United
States will fight, in the future, to
uphold treaty to which we are
parties but which is violated by
some other signatory power.

happen to any American citizen who would
have the temerity to distribute leaflets

is that this is a free country while Ger

FIGHT? FOR WHAT?

It is very dangerous thing to
demand rights unless they are
recognized or the party asserting
them is confident that they can
be upheld. In the present condi-
ton of world affairs, it seems,
the only worthwhile argument in
a dispute involving certain ma
tions, is the willingness and abil-
ity of a nation to use force to pro-
tect itself and its vital interests.
