The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1938-02-22

There is no reason to believe
that Mr.. Roosevelt is more mill
tariStic than when he took the
oath of office as President and
enuncisted his goodwill. policy.
Those who see him regularly &C
cept his word that no aggressive
intent is involved in the naval
and army plans now under con-
siderstiOn. Despite doubts ex-
pressed BY some public men. the
general belief is that there is no
arrangement with Great Britain
or any other country which can
Tighten the country's burden Of
defense. II IS admitted that while
officially at peace with al the
world. the relations of the United
States with Japan Germany and
Italy are not on the same plane
as with other nations. This IS not
because the United States has dis
eliminated against the totsIitzrisn
states but because the three az

ing scenes of the life on the Keys,
but principally in Key West.
Many familiar places and faces

the audience to give the picture
a hearty hand. Some of the scenes.
those of Mrs. Schneider and men,
bers of the family taken in De-
troit. were in natural color, rep
resenting intimate scenes of the
family and dear friends.
During an intermiSSion. Mr..
Schneider announced that his sole
idea was to indicate to the people
of Key West the interest he had
taken in the city and its people.
and then presented to the school
SIS to be used by the teachers in
the interest of the student body.
He concluded the evening by
giving away numerous prizes, and
then selecting two little girls and
two little boys. paired them off
and advised them that the next
scene was to be one from real
life, and that at the word they
were to kiss each other as their
mothers and fathers did. So sue
cessfuI were the children in their
portrayal of domestic felicity, as
between. their parents, that each
of the four were presented with
one dollar.

how easily the top section could
