ROYALTY'S VISIT

l..
@uaAt all places in Canada to be visited
by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth,
in May and June, elaborate preparations
are being made to have everything look
ing its best when they arrive, and every
Canadian who can reach point on their
lire of travel will be on hand to get
Glimpse of the royal pair.
The king and queen will arrive at
Quebec on the battleship Repulse on May
Is. and between that time and June Is,
when they are scheduled to board the war
ship again at Halifax, they will have visit
ed every province in the Dominion, besides
making side trip to Washington.
Except during. brief stays in Quebec,
Ottawa, Victoria and Washington, the
king and queen will sleep, On the royal
special train, which will be stopped at
night King Georgegwill make)a radio tad-
dress TO the British Empire and to the
world from Winnipeg, Manitoba, on May
"a. All principal events of the tour will
be broadcast by Canadian stations, and

works.
The visit of King George and Queen

advantages, they are thinking of
national self aggrandizement and
Of planting new colonies. There
fore it is difficult for them to
step into this field and so they
cannot be instrumental in pro-
mitigating International Peace.
Since the American govern
ment is not based on warlike
principles, it would become this
democracy to uphold information
al Peace and spread it through
out the world.
Over 70 years ago, Baha'u'llah,
The Founder of the Baha'i Faith,
whose birthday Baha'is all over
the world are celebrating this
month, spread broadcast this
zrcat movement for Universal
Peace. At that time the idea
was not in mems minds nor in
their conversation He invited
ell the peoples and nations to es-
tablish Universal Peace. All ma
tons were invited to participate
in a. Worlds Arbitral Court OF
Justice to be composed of the
representatives of every govern
nent in the world ana the dele
gates to be chosen and ratified by
the governments. If any. nation
or government should prove re-
bellious concerning any of the
decisions of the Court. it should
be forced into obedience through
the concerted action of all the
other nations.
1t was the earnest hope and
fervent desire of 'Abdu'I-Baha
that the instrumentality of the
American people would be such
as to enlarge the scope of this
great plan. This great cause OF
Universal Peace based upon the
oneness of the human race is the
only one that insures the happi-
ness of the entire world. 1t must
receive support from all peoples
and nations.

FOLLOWERS OF BAHIA 'U'LLAH LOOK TO
AMERICA TO EFFECT UNIVERSAL PEACE

America is destined to become
the world leader in the achieve
ment of Universal Peace. Such
is the belief of the followers of
Baha'u'llah, Universal Prophet
and Founder of the Baha'i Faith.
These and many more prophecies
were made by the Founders il
lustrious son, 'Abdull-Baha dur
ing his memorable visit to this
country in 1912.
In view of the increasing cris-
es in the world today, Abdul
Baha's statements deserve deep
consideration. In his message to
the American people, he further
clucidateS on the role of America
in the achievement of Interna-
tional Peace.
The United States has made ex-
traordinary progress, advancing
towards great destiny. Splen-
did material progress has been
made, now the American people
must consider spiritual virtues so
that the highest projections of
humanity may be reached. One
Of the greatest virtues is Univer-
sal Peace. Today humanity's
chef ailment is international
strife. .stt
The continent of America is
isolated so far as other countries
arc concerned; the government is
not thinking of making con-
quests. Their utmost desire is
this: that the continent be pro-
tected. They are engaged in the
amelioration of internal condi-
tions; they are not engaged in
warfare with any nation. There
fore, they have time and the
ability to raise the Standard OF
Universal Peace and to spread
the doctrine of the Oneness of
God. :"
International difficulties have
been the chief obstacle of other
peoples. Other nations are riv-
aling each other for commercial

THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH

eff that old rooster Of mine wants to
crow, he's going to crow and nobody
around here is going to stop him! AS
matter of fact, I'm thinking of raising
couple Of more roosters trained just to
crow!"
a. That the other day, was the comment
of a Key Wester when informed< that
neighbors were objecting the Growing of
his rooster beginning shortly after mid
night every morning. Two of the com
plainants against the ROSTERS early morn
ing serenades happened to be newcomers
to this community. They had bought lots
and built homes not far from the Key
Wester's chicken coop.
why should these people come in
here and tell us how to run this city," the
Key Wester asked of group of bystand-
ers. 1--WE got along all right before they
came and we'll get along all right without
any help from them now. That old rooster
Growing never bothered anyone before
they came and l hope he crows his head
off from now on
why donfyou sell your property to
some one Of the newcomers % a bystander
remarked.
CAS- soor as get my price I will, was
the reply. I've been offered $4,000 for
the place, but want 81, 900 before I close
a deal" j"
"a year ago you offered it to me for
$3,000-how Gomez"
"Well, land and property values have
gone up since then,'' was the answer of the
owner of the Growing rooster.
Investigation reveals that the Key
Wester had happened to build his home
in a section of the city appealing to out
side investors The very men who COM
planned about the rooster had built fine
new homes and property values of the
neighborhood had been enhanced by their
investment -''s'-*
In other words, if the newcomers had
not selected that section in which to build,
the value OF the property owned by the
owner of the rooster would not have been
amy higher than it was year ago. Only
relatively few of the new buildings that
have been erected in recent months or are
by old residents. The money is being fur
nished by outside investors or by public
agencies, such as FILA.
1t seems to The Citizen that our old
residents should not object very strongly
to the desire of new citizens for peace and
quiet. They came here and established
their homes fer peace and quiet. The

unbiased observer has repeatedly stated,
Key Vests greatest hope of continued
prosperity will come from the tourist and
the ''outsider' who makes this his winter
residence. No other tourist city in Flor
ida permits disturbances that annoy visi-
tors. It is up to our city officials to see
that Key West is as free of nocturnal noises
as humanity possible.

store and while Phillip engaged
the proprietor in conversation,
York reached into display WIN
dow, taking two watches.
When police arrived, the pair
started to run.
Officers gave chase, yelling to
several car repair men in the rail-
road yards to stop the thieves. Be-
fore police caught them they had
disposed of the watches under a
railroad car.
Phillips is a professional boxer
at Sioux City. York is a dope ad-
