LIONS CLUBS
HAVE ENDORSED
RADIO PROGRAM
FIRST OF SERIES TO BE
STARTED TOMORROW AFT
ERNOoN BEGINNING at
O'CLOCK

The Key West Lions Club an
nounces a Radio Program en-
dorSed by Lions international to
be aired by the Division of In
formation, Department of the In
terror over the Columbia Broad
casting System (WQAM MiamD
starting this Saturday afternoon
at S o'clock. The program is en-
titled What Price America,
and is a history of the use and
misuse of our natural resources
and the necessity for citizens to
conserve these public assets. The
program will continue for tWen-
ty five weeks.
Quoting from prospectus on
the series, it found that the fol-
lowing story will be told:
"By the art of the dramatist
we escape time and live again
with the first settlers; we go
with the pioneer to the west; we
watch men wrench from the
earth its treasures of minerals;
forests and fertility. We observe
the creation of a new nation and
the spendthrift use of these
riches. We thrill to the birth of
three million square miles of
farms, a thousand towns and
cities. We are brought face to
face with a threat of national
emergency as a result of this pro-
fligate use and growth. We look
to the future, and the planning
which will assure the preserva-
ton of our heritage.
1T is our obligation as citizens
to take a new attitude toward
these natural resources and have
a better understanding of the
problem involved in carrying out
a national plan of wise and pro-
per conservation"

The National Capital appears
to regard Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt as the most outstanding
First Lady" in our country's his
tory.
The Three New Court Justices
Professor Felix Frankfurter
came to Washington and entirely
satisfied sharpeyed officials and
pesSimistic news men. The pop
ulation of the Capital was ready
to accept him as the ninth JUS

inent and attracts but little at
tention. Stanley Reid wears the
robe of office and maintains the
high dignity of his position.
Better Service On Capitol Hill
Everybody e m d good
natured when Congress convened
right after the holidays. Stuff a
man with turkey and he's sure
ITO be amiable. In former times
the legislators didn't get together
until March and by that time
they were grumpy and grouchy.
During the last week or two
the fighting has become more
noticeable on Capitol Hill.
The dissensions in the Demo
cratic party and the independent
positions taken by members of all
parties and factions indicate that
the people between the devil
and the deep blue sea" are apt to
be real beneficiaries of the No
vember elections, and elections.
You most likely remember all
about the returns that stiffened
the courage of legislators repre-
senting all parties, and put them
wise to the fact that the voters
expect better service from their
servants on Capitol Hill.

Times Should Get Better
The present system Of cmer-
gency relief was established in
1888 to cure the Emergency
and bring the country back to
normal. The nation was assured
that there would be no further
need to appropriate for recovery
after a year or two. No one
thought that within a few short
years public relief would be look
e1 upon as permanent. If they
had thought so it would not have
been tagged emergency"
Expenses Of relieving the poor
and unfortunate must be care
fully handled, because it is we'll
known that there are lots of
temptations that result in a
waste of this class of precious
funds.
Events in the Senate and
House since the first of the year
indicate clearly that the legisla
f. bodies are fully convinced
t'.j there is an extravagant and
needless waste of money, and
that under improved methods of
administration that actual costs
should be less. The Government
has recently issued statistics that
showed substantial gains in en-
ployment.
There seems to be common
sense in the statement of a Demo-
cratic Senator that I'VE should
proceed on the theory that things
are getting better, not worse"
Government relief will continue.
That's why plans have been laid
before Congress to coordinate
many of the Federal groups, such
as WPA, PWA, CCC and NYA in
a new Public Works Department
with new Cabinet Member at
the head
The National Income
The President and the Secre-
tary of the Treasury are on the
defensive regarding spending and
pump-priming, They say that
their way is the right way to
boost the national income to 80
billion dollars a year and that by
reaching that goal the recessions
and depressions of frequent in
Permission would all be stopped
and that would turn America in
to a land of employed workmen,
good business and prosperity.
In 1888 the total accountable
income received in the United
States was $44,000,000,000 and
this increased to more than $751;
000,000,000 in 1887, and dropped
somewhat in 1898.
The costs of preparations for
the war next SPRING, costs of
old age pensions and the national
health plan, and a flock of other
costly plans would leave the Gov
ernment budgets still far in the
red. Taxation would automatic
ally increase and become more
burdonsome than If IS today. The
Administration skips most of that
phase of the question:
Senator Byrd takes the Admin
istration apartg and shows that
the Government and the country
are going deeper and deeper in
the hole, and that it will have to
turn over a new leaf if it expects
to get out He and many mem
bers of both branches of Con-
gress are fighting for economy.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81
The other day a couple Of Am
erican newspaper correspondents
made their customary call on the
official press chief in Mexico
City. They inquired about Wash
ington reports that the Mexican
Government was trying to sell
German equipment, obtained in
exchange for confiscated oil, to
other Latin-American nations.
The reporters were Frank L..
Kluckhohn representing the New
York Times and William Lander
of the United Press.
Instead of receiving the infor-
nation they asked for, Mr..
Kluckhohn was seized and
brought before a Mexican Gov
crnment official and ordered to
leave Mexico within "a hours.
The United Press correspondent
was informed that the outside
world lis not interested in oil
deals with Germany" and the
United Press Association was
fined 5000 pesos. Other CORE
spondentS who have been writing
about the new political and eco
nomic ties between Mexico and
Germany have been reprimanded.
Correspondent Kluckhohn has
written the news from Mexico
for two years during which time
it.. has turned largely upon the
confiscation of American-oWned
farm lands and the seizure with
out compensation of foreign
owned oil fields. These matters
have been of great concern to our
Government. He had recently
discovered and printed the fact
that the Mexican Government
had made a 25 million dollar
deal, by which it was to exchange
confiScated oil for German mer-
chandiSe.
But when the correspondents
uncovered the scheme for a more
extensive deal between Germany
and Mexico and the Mexican
Government tried to hide the
facts.
Under this contemplated ar
rangement there would be no re-
Strictions on the amount of oil
shipments to Germany because
Mexico would not be limited by
its own ability to absorb the
goods received from Germany, as
payment. The American report
, ers were on the trail of a huge
international scandal, and if it is
carried through it will make
Mexico the sales agent of Ger
many throughout Latin-Amer-
lean countries.
Naturally, this would democrat
ize trade and economic condi-
tons between the United States
and Latin-America, and throw
| thousands of American workmen
out of employment throughout
the United States.
/ Of course such piratical prac-
tees as are used by Mexico will
undermine the spirit of the Lima
Conference, and defeat the re-
building of healthy economic con-
ditions between the American
Republics, including our own.
American newspapermen COW
cred themselves with glory in
making this sensational discov-
ery-fraught even with war dan
gers. The Times man explains
that he is serving as a warning
to other correspondents of the
attempt to cut off impartial news
at its source"
| In a leading editorial The New
York Times praises the accuracy
of all of Mr.. Kluckhohn's report
/ ing. The Times is sorry to lose
a good reporter in Mexico City
says the editorial and adds that
lit believes that its own loss Is
/ less serious than the loss of con
fidence and of respect which the
Mexican Government incurs
when, after cenSoring its owr
press into a state of helplessness

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER

A recent bulletin of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
carries word of the newspaper ad-
vertising. views of rSafeway Stores,
Inc, a large Western food chain.
These views could be proftably eni-
ulated by industry and commerce in
general. -
In brief. the Safeway company be-
lieves that newspapers of regular
publication, large, and small, per-
form an important public service,
and that advertising revenue is :es-
sential to keeping the price charged
the subscriber, low enough to bring
the paper within, financial reach of
every possible family. T-
The company believes that when
the so-called tree circulation news
paper attempts to lure advertisers,
using lower rate as bait, "it is s'Athe
beginning of vicious. circle-first,
depicting the established publica-
tion: next, through bankruptcy, de-
priving the community Of such news
service; encouraging the free distri-
button paper into becoming paid
circulation and news distributing
publication. followed by additional
free circulation papers and thus
completing the cycle"
Finally, the 9afeway company in
structs its division managers to
avoid using handbills and free dis
tribution papers except when abso-
lutely necessary. and then to use
the job shops of local regular news
papers where possible.
Here is a logical and progressive
policy. The local newspaper fills
vital place in the American scene. |
1t is more than a business-it is a
record of the times in which we live. |
Through news and comment II |
brings to its readers knowledge OF
what is going on at home-as we'll |
as what is going on in the far flung |
capitals of the world. Measured by !
the rigid yardstick of dollars-and- |
cents alone. the newspaper advertis-
er gets his full moneys worth-and
at the same time makes possible the |
existence of an irreplaceable insti-
tuition.
