table is loaded with barbecued
meat, sandwiches, chicken, pies,
cakes, preserves, salads, deviled
eggs, corn pone and coffee-all

Arrangements Perfected For
RooseveIt's Arrival In Key
West Tomorrow Over Highway
Chief Executive Of Nation
Is Expected To Reach
City Between Two And
Three O'clock

President Roosevelt to-
morrow will visit Key West
for the first time since he
became the nations chief
executive.
Probably because he has
been i'll and this is a vaca-
ton trip away from the busy
desk that grips him week
after week in the White
House, the President has re-
quested there be no formal
reception, no set appear
ances in public during his
stay in Key West, the city
he has helped so much by
his approval of various re-
lief projects.
Thanked by the keen
eyed secret service agents
who accompany him every
where he goes, the Presi-
dent limousine is scheduled
to reach the head of the is
land somewhere between 2
and 3 p. m. tomorrow. His
big car will come down the
northern branch of Roose-
welt boulevard, which was
named after him, past Bay
view Park, into Division
street, down Duval street to
Greene street and thence to
Key West Naval Station.
School children lined up at
Bayview Park and anyone in a
place of vantage along any streets
of his proposed route should be
able to, get a glimpse of the man
who wields more power in this
country than any other. He will
play no favorites when he flashes
his famous smile. It will be for
all. Nor will be spotlighted ex-
clusively for those whose for
tunes or political standing are
greater than the ordinary man.
Coming For Rest
He's coming here for a rest.
for relaxation and for the fishing
in these waters, was the remark
Of Col. Edward Startling, chief of
the White House secret service
detail when he arrived the other
day to complete safety arrange
ments for his chief. There will
be no speeches and no public ap-
pearances that will further ex-
haust him. He needs the rest and
relaxation.
Colonel Startling ought to
know. He has been guarding the
President since he took office and
has been either member of or
chief of the White House secret
service detail for some IS years.
His place usually is at the Presi-
dents side, but he has proven
himself such an expert at max
ing advance arrangements for the
/ President that he has drawn away
from his regular job whenever
the nations chief executive de-
cides to take trip anywhere.
Colonel Startling has gone over
every foot of the route the Presi-
dent will travel from the time ne
leaves his train Saturday morn
ing at Florida City until he
draws up at the cabana near the
submarine ways in the naval sta
ton. The blue-eyed secret serv-
ice chief is in complete charge of
arrangements. 1t was he who in
structed Capt. w. Curry Harris, of
Battery E, 265th Coast Artillery,

jor William v. Albury, of the

consider the problem, so far as the United
States can, on fair and reasonable
basis. But the dictators answer him
with sneer. Why? They refuse to
treat with Mr.. Hull because they know
that he means purchase and exchange,
not give-away. They know that if their
demands were ever definitely stated at
conference table they would be so great
and unreasonable that they could never
be attained peaceably. And most of all
they are more prepared to make threats
OF war than they are to make settlements
by negotiation. They do not fear war.
1t comes within the scope of their plans.
Their philosophy and their dangerous
internal situations are pressing them
toward this natural elimination of their
actions.
What then shall be said for the under
paid Fascist workers who are the inno-
cent victims of all this? If his standard
OF living is extremely low it is not be-
cause We refuse to trade by gangster
sive-away methods, but because most of
his earnings are seized by his rulers to
pay for ornaments. His desperate plight
will in no way be lessened by further
democratic surrender to blackmail. His
salvation lies only in overthrow of the
tyrants depressing him. This he is
valiantly trying to do, but his time has
not yet come. ECONOMIST.
