Filled With Possibilities.

F1llcO WIN possibilities.
Ere this letter appears in print the
House will have taken action on the
neutrality bill which was reported
out by Congressman Sol Bloom, act
ing chairman of the Foreign Affairs
committee of the House. am not
an alarmist but I view the Bloom
bill as one of the most dangerous
pieces of legislation to be presented
to Congress in my time. Far better
no neutrality legislation at all than
the box of dynamite reported by Mr..
Bloom.
AS l read the measure the Presi-
dent would be empowered to pre-
scribe rules and regulations under
which traffic in war materials be-
tween this and belligerent countries
may be carried on in time of war;
In other words, he is made the sole
judge of what nation may buy NUM-
tons from us in time of war. Clearly,
the measure would confer upon the
President sole power to apply sane
tons and lay embargoes, the appli-
cation of which would undoubtedly
draw us into the next war. The two
parties in Congress are divided upon
the question.
Huge Sums for Farmers.
Last Thursday the House placed
its stamp of approval upon Senate
amendments to the agricultural ap-
preparation bill totaling $685., 100000
for parity payments and disposal of
surplus commodities. Of this large
sum $113, 100000 will be used for the
latter purpose, and not more than
25 percent may be spent on any one
commodity.
That sort of farm relief is neither

sioner. Perhaps if all public bonds
were taxed it might result in greatly
reducing waste and the number of
future bond issues. That certainly
would be worthwhile. At the rate
we are going now it will not be long
before the sheriff will catch up
with us.
Why the War Hysteria?
l note in a recent issue of the Du-
luth Herald an interview with S.
Valentine Saxby, executive secretary
of the Minnesota Arrowhead associa-
ton, on his return home from a six
weeks visit in the British Isles. Mr..
Saxby is quoted as saying, actually,
there is no war talk except here in
the United States, one finds on visit
to England and then returning to
American shores. Business conditions
are steadily improving and unemploy-
ment is dropping remarkably"
l am sure we would all like to
know why there is so much war talk
in this country and little or none over
in Europe. James Roosevelt, son of
the President, recently returned from
Europe, also said there was little or
no war talk over there. Why all
these war scares here? One day it is
Germany and the next day it is
Japan. The President asks Congress
to build thousands of planes, scores
of warships of all types, and to spend
hundreds of millions of dollars for
additional ornaments. Just what is
back of all of this?
Finnish Architect Honored.
Eliel Saarinen, the great Finnish
architect, was last week selected to
prepare the plans for the proposed
Smithsonian Gallery of Art, out of
more than 400 architects who en-
tered the competition. When the
new art gallery is completed Wash
-ington will become one of the great
art centers of the world.

Times To Get
7 Finally Succeeds
Accompanied By City Edi-
tor OF Chicago Tribune /;
; Now On Vacation; En-
JOY Key West Night Life

Westbrook Pegler. author of
. the nationally syndicated column,
Fair Enough, arrived in Key
West last night and is today
touring the city.
Mrs. Pegler is along, and Mr..
and Mrs. w. o. Maxwell of Will
mette, Illinois. MIR. Maxwell is
editor of Chicago Daily Tribune.
They are at the Hotel La Concha.
and paid a visit to The Citizen
this afternoon.
Mr.. Pegler, a former sports
writer, who graduated to a
columnist, and is known for his
acid comments on conditions in
this country which are not favor
able to progress, is making his
first visit to the city.
This is the fourth time I've
tried to get to Key West" MIR.
Pegler told The Citizen during
his visit here with Mr. Maxwell,
land I've finally made it. One
time we drove down as far as the
ferry at Matecumbe and found
that we had arrived too late"
MIR. Pegler and MIR. Maxwell
were particularly impressed with
the naval station and national
defense facilities here They be-
lieve that if these facilities were
put into active status the relief
problem here would best be taken
care of. Asked if he was going to
10 a column on Key West, Mr..
Pegler replied that ne would not,
as he had little else than surface
knowledge.
/. Mr.. Pegier is at present on his
vacation and will soon go back to
Miami and New York to begin
writing his famous columns again.
He is not writing on this vaca-
ton. ...-..
Asked if he were going to do
any fishing in Key Vests famed
waters, he replied that he did not
think so as he was 'crick'
fisherman and has done little
saltwater fishing.
Visiting at La Conga Club last
night Pegler and Maxwell found
couple of old vaudeville per-
formers they knew, Frank and
Teddy Sabini, and the evening
was one of merriment with songs
initiating their first enjoyment of
the Island City.

BROADCAST ON
KEY west OF
MUCH INTEREST
SENT OUT FROM GAINES
WILLIE; CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE RECEIVES TELE-
GRAM ON SUBJECT

That broadcast which went out
from Gainesville Saturday rel
alive to Key West seems to have
made a hit, judging by a tele-
gram received at the Chamber
of Commerce, from Llewellyn
Thomas. secretary of the Eustis
Chamber. It reads:
Heartiest congratulations on
your gripping and intriguing
radio message anent Key West.
Had | been a tourist. nothing
could have stopped me from fill
ing up the gas tank and coming
Immediately along that route
which you so enthusiastically
envisaged- Keep up the good
work"
Secretary Singleton said that
if the telegram had come from
some of his intimate acquaint-
ances he would not have thought
so much of it, but he said he has
had only the briefesf of business
correspondence with Secretary
Thomas, and we can thank Miss
Minnie Porter Harris for the OPP
portunity to go on the air.
The broadcast was sent out
from WRUF at Gainesville Sstur-
day afternoon. and was from the
