FEAR OF GOVERNMENT

Whatever else may underlie our eco
nomic troubles, it can hardly be denied
that fear of government on the part OF
business men, both large and small, has
been a serious obstacle in the path of all
efforts to restore confidence in the future.
An almost endless parade of legisla-
ton and bureaucratic edicts, continually
changing the rules under which business
must operate, can not promote business and
industrial expansion, which is so necessary
to the creation of permanent jobs for the
unemployed.
Wasteful governmental spending
national, state and local-with its at
tendant excessive tax burden, is likewise
one of the most serious deterrents to ma
tional recovery.
In a letter to committees of Congress,
the Investment Bankers Association, which
is making determined efforts to promote a
larger flow of idle capital into business
channels, said, in part:
'The Federal government should bal
ance the budget. Both taxes and regula-
tions should be made as simple as possible.
Regulations should be changed infrequent-
ly, and only when absolutely necessary.
If business interests knew exactly what to
expect, that certainty in itself would help
restore confidence"
These seem to be practical common
sense suggestions. BY needing. them Con-
gress might Largely allay the fear of gov
eminent which has gripped the business
community so long.

THE LOWDOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE

I just been reading where the
airplane business is getting brisk,
and the factories, they !, are ex i.
pecting business to add up to
maybe around a billion. And it
was on the front page-and it
sounds great.
But what kinda stumps me, it
is how we pay any attention to
a trifling one billion. One bill
hon is chicken fede. Every day
in the week we can read about
bigger figures, like 3 or 4 billion
which the Govt. is goin' in the
hole-and we dop't blink an eye.
We crave. the new news. We
figure the pickup in airplanes, it
is the main thing, and we don't
bother about how it is offset and
diluted with deficits. It is kinda
like the rabbit sausage which my
old friend Henry in st. Paul used
to tell about.
This rabbit SAUSAGE" it was
quite popular. And a customer
inquired if it waa really 100 per
cent rabbit. And the butcher, he
says, well no, he says. not exact
ly-it has a little horse meat in

call it maybe somewhere around
50-50-one horse, and one rabbit.

A KEY WEST HOSPITAL?

More than year ago The Citizen be-
gan pointing out the Importance of a
municipal hospital. Since then very little
has been done to make this dream effec-
tive, although Key Vests economic out
look is Frightening day by day and the
prospect of a substantial population
growth is looming larger each passing
week
Of course everyone knows we have
Marine hospital. 1t is one of the finest
institutions of it's kind in the country On
the medical and surgical staff are men
whose reputation and skill are attested
even by private practitioners. However,
that hospital was established for spe-
cific purpose-the care and treatment of
seamen. 1t is now handling close to a
capacity number of patients, some of
whom are citizens admitted through Mon
roe county clinic or in emergencies requir-
ing immediate operations.
Two private physicians have small
hospitals. These are for those who can af-
ford them and are for patients of the
physicians owning them. They are not
public institutions, available to rich and
poor alike and open to the patients of
every practicing physician.
Key West and Monroe county un-
aided will be unable to finance the con-
struction Of new hospital OR stand the
burden CT maintenance and operation. Yet
a municipal hospital is a needed, neces-
sary institution here. How can it be OBJ
tanned?
The Citizen would like to suggest the
appointment of a joint committee repre-
senting the city, the county, the medical
profession and our civic organizations.
This committee might raise small oper-
ating fund with which to help promote
municipal hospital. Where can the money
be found?
National foundations interested in the
establishment of hospitals and other pub
lie institutions where they cannot be pro-
vided by the people of a community can be
contacted. Efforts in this connection were
never followed through in the past. The
foundations should be made fully aware
of the Key West need for an adequate
disqualification program.
Congress is considering national
disqualification program. The plan is to
provide hospitals where now there are
none The Citizen doubts if Key Vests
plight has ever been brought forcefully to
the attention of Florida's representatives
in Congress. This task can very well be-
ccme a duty to be assumed by the pro-
posed hospital committee.
These ideas are advanced in the hope
that some one or some group OF persons
can be interested in this project 1t is a
worthy one, for municipal hospital will
be an asset in the campaign to bring more
new citizens into this community.

Uncle Sam is finding it very difficult
to be a good neighbor to Mexico, who,
during the last 80 years has taken prop
erty CT American citizens valued at hun
dIeds of millions of dollars-property
which had been made productive by Am
erican initiative, industry and capital.
Mexico parties with the statement that the
property has been appropriated" but ex-
preparation means, taken over and paid
for, which has not been done. The State
department has consistently maintained
that the seizure of property without fair,
prompt and adequate compensation is not
appropriation but confiseation. A firmer
word is robbery" and that will go on un-

state road department for state roads in

what constitutes surplus? Some con-
