Piffman Doubts
Special Call

LOS ANGELES. Sept IA. (UP)-
Sen. Key Pittman, chairman of the
senate foreign relations committee.
said today he doubted "very much"
if his committee would be called
back to Washington in advance of
the special session of congress to
expedite action on United States
neutrality.
Only few minutes before it was
announced that President Roose-
velt had called the special session
for Sept. 81, Senator Pittman had
said he did not believe it would
be necessary to convene the for
eign affairs committee before the
special session because Il think it
will be a matter of only a week or
10 days"

BUCHAREST, Sept. IA. CUP)--
Rumania's eyes were turned today
with the keenest interest toward
avelopment of Turkeys policy.
The Turkish prime minister's
tatement that Turkey will contin-
be to maintain watchful neutrality
confirms an earlier broadcast from
BUCHAREST. The trip of foreign min
ster Sukru Saracjoglu to Moscow
Psso was forecast soon after con-
clusion of the Nazi-Soviet non

1t can be safely said that Tur-

Ankara's Oldest and closest ally

help the postwar Kemalist Tur-
key might not have come into ex-

interests in the southeast as the
CAarist government--to have free
access to the Mediterranean. Ever
since establishment of the Kemal-
ist regime Turkey has been Russias
loyal gatekeeper of the Dardanelles.
But if Turkey should enter a

Corn Referendum
Out This Year,
Wallace Declares

WASHINGTON, Sept. ID. CUP)--
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace announced today. that
there will be no referendum on
corn marketing quotas for this
years crop.
Wallace said total corn supply
of 1898 100000 bushels. including
an indicated carryover of 47o,OOO.-
600 bushels, is in prospect for 1899.
This Is short Of the 5000 900 900
bushel figure which would make
marketing quota referenda manda-
tory.
The current European situation"
also was cited by Wallace in an
nouncing that the indicated crop
of 1928 100000 bushels would not
require imposition of quotas.
The announcement said the prin-
cipal factors in keeping the sup
ply at Level which obviates neces-
sity of referendum this year are
increased participation in the agri-
cultural conservation program and
increased livestock production.
Wallace cautioned producer
against anticipating sharp increas-
es in foreign demand for livestock
products.
Export demand for pork and
lard, he said, apparently will be
much greater than last year but
there is little possibility of these
exports approaching the l92O-2e
levels.

STRONG LEADERSHIP NEEDED

Many civic. patriotic and commercial
organizations are considering ways and
means of raising money for municipal spon-
sorship of federal projects. The matter
was discussed at some length with mem
bers of the city council at a special meet
ing last Friday night. The representatives
Of the various groups agreed to lay the
facts before their respective organizations
for discussion and possible report at an
other meeting with councilmen Thursday
night.
The need for action at this time on
this proposition is apparent to all. Some
hundreds of men now employed ON various
WPA projects are soon to be laid off be-
cause of lack of sponsorship by the city of
new public works. Unless work is found
for these men they will be forced on the
relief rolls. The burden of their mainten-
ance would be heavy load for the city
and county to carry.
1t has been suggested that a sales tax
be levied here to provide sponsorship
funds; that the occupational licenses be
raised and that greater effort at tax col
lection be put forward. OF these sugges-
tions the one most likely to produce any
sizeable revenue without unduly burden
ing our business and commercial enter
prises is the collection of taxes now owed
the city Payment of taxes at this time
would serve two purposes-pro the
city with funds for ordinary operations and
provide the sinews for sponsoring WPA
projects 1t should become matter OF
duty for every taxpayer to do what he
can at this time to help this cause.
However, it does not seem that any
of the discussions now under way will bear
any fruit unless the sponsorship program
is organized and placed in the hands OF
an active, determined leadership. Haphaz-
ard talk about the need for street repairs,
sewer and water connections, mosquito
control work, construction of public beach
es and other projects will not get any
where.
Definite recommendations for specific
projects and program for raising the
money are called for. Then organization
and leadership that will get action must
be insured. The Citizen hopes these will
be Forthcoming at Thursdays meeting. If
they are not Key West will be up against
most serious situation that will react on
everyone, every man, woman and child,
every business and every activity in the
city.

EARN WHAT YOU WANT

Young people of Key West might
find the present good occasion to under
stand that the majority of those who have
anything in world that worships money
worked for what they acquired.
Too often, the youthful mind is inn
pressed with the easy accumulation of a
fortune by some exceptional figure that
looms in the public consciousness, little
realizing that such career is the great
exception among mass of hard workers
who got to the top by sheer diligence and
persistence, rather than through some
streak of luck or opportunity.
More and more there is abroad in the
world conviction that individuals who
do not earn what they have are not en-
titled to their possessions. The thought is
not so bad. If every youngster who begins
a business life in the next ten years gets
thoroughly imbued with the idea of giving
value for money or rewards received the
business world won't be worried as much
by the next period of depression and the
chances are that the people of the next
generation will find happier PROPOSE

If every school in the world, many
