WELCOME, DENTAL SOCIETY!

Key West today and tomorrow is
host to approximately 100 members of the
East Coast Dental society and their wives
and families Along with the official
greetings of the city presented by Mayor
Willard M. Albury this morning are now
extended the openhand of friendship and
the hospitality of the citizens Of Key West.
We hope your stay with us will be pleas
ant one and that you come again ard again.
This city over the years has been
noted for its fine rosts and hOstesses
Strangers from every section of the world,
from every walk of life have been well
coined and entertained in our homes and
have gone away singing the praises of our
people. We feel sure the members of the
dental society and their families will find
the entertainment, the hospitality and the
fellowship offered by our local dentists
and medical men all that they have been
led to expect
Some strangers visiting Key West Of
ten pick up some wrong impressions of our
city. Let it be explained that we are in
the process of transition from the most ter
rible depression that ever struck any Amer
lean city to a new prosperity that lies
ahead of us. Our citizens have been very
poor. They could barely scrape together
enough for the ordinary necessities of life
during the last several years let alone rails
ing money to paint and repair their homes.
While the exteriors of their homes may
need painting and repairing the interiors
are generally adequately and beautifully
furnished with pieces that have been hand
ed down from generation to generation.
Their gardens and their yards are bursting
with beautiful Towering trees and shrubs,
with every imaginable exotic type of trop-
zeal flora. A tour of our highways and by
ways, rot in swiftly moving cars, but afoot
or on bicycle, is well worth while, and we
recommend the idea to our dental friends.
However, it is not the exterior of the
home or its furnishings that is the import
ant thing. 1t is the interior of the hearts of
our people. They have suffered and strug-
gled for many years and have come up
with smiling faces and their hearts are
filled with hope again ard they want the
whole world to know that Key West is still
a fine city in which to live.

KrDNAp TRUTHS

There are a few things which
have been established again now
that the body of five and one-half
year-old Cash is found and one of
the principals involved confessed;
% Kidnapers will not take
the chance of delivering their vic
tim alive, partly through the dan
ger of approaching within the
vigilance of federal officers, part
ly because they do not wish to be
identified by kidnapped victims.
~ Bodies of victims are
usually found near the scene of
the crime, because transport to
any great distance may lead to
quick detection. Both the Lind
bergh and Cash children's bodies
were found near the residence
from which they were kidnapped.
so There will probably again
be a great deal of mystery as to
the identity of others involved in
the crime, as was the case in the
Lindbergh affair.
(4) That immediate notifica-
ton of the police will not bring
results. Because parents deal
with a ruthless, criminal type. II
still remains a question that if J.
B. Cash, ST., had worked alone to
contact the kidnapers, with pos
sibly close friend or relative to
think soberly for him, the child
might have been saved. Though
justice would have been defeated.
90 That justice in this kid
mapping case, as in many others,
will be fulfilled probably only to
an incomplete extent, with no
confession of the actual murder
obtainable.

There il much talk now about the en-
aetment of law forbidding the payment of
ransom in kidnapping cases. This column
doubts If ii could be made to work, even if
it were declared constitutional. After the
government takes what it can from your
earnings in taxes. it cannot very well tell
you what to do with the remainder in any

the law and clandestiRely cooperate with
the kidnapers in desperate effort to re-
gain their child--another law to be flouted.
Parental love is stronger than any law of

Captain r. w. McNeely, COM
mandant of the Seventh Naval
District will leave this evening
for Jacksonville where he will be
met by Captain ]. R. Peterson,
and Lieutenant Paul Cooney, who
left Saturday evening and start
ed on an inspection tour of ma
val activities of Florida. From
Jacksonville they will go to ST.
Augustine to inspect the naval
radio station there. At Orlando
they will inspect the communi-
cation service station, which is
conceded to be the most extern
sive and modern division of the
naval reserve. Captain McNeely
says it is one of the best in the
United States, and has been
taken as a model by the navy
department. It is a credit to the
navy and the State of Florida.
The naval radio station at Jupi-
ter, conceded to be the best on
the East Coast, is to be included
in the trip. Inspection of the
navy reserves at Miami will
complete the tour.

AccREss czEcHs

AGGnEoS CZECf1S
Heavy blows have been rained
on the Czechoslovakian govern
mental body. With the new or
der for increased mobilization
from compulsory two to three
year military service, German
aggression began in earnest from
the Sudeten section of Czechoslo-
vakia yesterday. Recently Hen
lein's press statement that his ter
ritory would resort to armed re-
volt if necessary brought sharp
sub rosa" rebuke from Berlin.
The time was not ripe for such
statement. But telling blows are
now being delivered. Prague
newspapers said that only So per-
hcent of the Czech army are
Czech, that the rest would be
doubtful fighters in case of war.
sThe press also accused the gbv-
ernment of getting its new mill
tary orders from Moscow, and
dweIt on the increased taxation
which would result from the pro-
gram. concluding with the state
ment that Germany's army could
easily conquer the country. The
attitude toward German annexa-
ton is very definitely taken there.
This column, however, does not
believe that Germany viii take
all of Czechoslovakia without
armed rebellion. But ii may take
a portion of the country which
belonged to it before the World
War.
