COST OF HAND IN
WAR is COMPUTED
League Cites Risks as Ad-
ministration Assumes
Big Role
BY w. A. HILDERRAND.

Washington, Nov. 13-Periodically
the question is posed whether, as {
matter OF dollars and cents, the Unit
ed States could afford to participate
IN another war, even assuming the
country could be propagandized some
day into a Waflike frame of mind
Another question relates to Wheth-
er it would be wise, if the country
manages to remain out of the conflict
now in progress in Europe, for the
Washington government to take {
hand in any effort that might be
made to establish just and lasting
peace, thereby removing the danger
perhaps, of another punitive Versail-
les treaty.
In answering tie question as tc
whether this country could afforC
another war, the National Economy
league today declared that ''While the
loss Of human life and liberties could
be the greatest price we would pay
in another war, the risk Of initiation
and ruinous taxation would probably
mean a lower standard of living for
generations to come.
Based on data compiled by the
leagues director, John c. Gebhart,
the study concerns itself with the
effect on our national credit, our
money and our tax burden which
would result from American parti-
cipation in another major war.
81 Billions.
From a review of what past wars
have cost us, it is pointed out that
the indirect and continuing costs are
far greater than the costs of the hos
tilities themselves While, for exam
pie, our participation in the actual
engagements Of the world war cost
us "a billion dollars, the total cost
to date has reached the staggering
sum Of 81 billion dollars It is not war
itself, therefore, but the aftermath
which is such a heavy drain on a
nations resources.
Meanwhile the Roosevelt admins
tration, following up its momentous
victory over the isolationists in Con-
gress, in the arms embargo repeal, is
fast preparing to assume large role
in the affairs of the world
For months, the administration has
been moving quietly in this direction,
and now that the "isolationist threat
is averted the opportunity to go a
head more rapidly has come.
In three great theaters Of world
politics, the United States has begun
expanding its influence and power.
These three theaters are:
l. Europe. President Roosevelt has
successfully championed change in
American foreign policy which per-
mits our munitions to flow to the
allies, has interceded with Russia on
behalf of Finland; has given encour-
agement to the Scandinavian coun-
tries; and is engaged in disputes
with soviet Premier Molotoff, with
whom he has exchanged accusations
of ''meddling" in internal affairs,

COUNTRY MAY HAVE

=, Los Angeles, Nov. 13.-(AP)-
This country may some day have
to look to the ocean for irrigation
water and food, in the opinion of
Or. Claude E. ZoBell, Scripps in
stltution Of oceanography scientist.
Some scientists claim that, acre

tive Of both plant and animal life
than the land, DR.. ZoBeI told a

In single year $4,000, 100000
worth Of these raw ocean products
We're harvested by total Of 12,0OO,-
600 men.
Much could be learned from
Japan, which gets nearly one-third
OF its total natural resources from
the sea. Some of these marine re-
sources, such as sardines, which are
canned for food or processed for
fertilizer, are being depleted from
waters within the very shadow of
our own coast and sold TO us.
Our own country has taken lit
tie advantage of the marine :,esour-
ces, has done little to protect them,
and virtually nothing to develop
them"

Mr.. Wilcox pointed out that the
Bowman Gray Foundation, Meth
odist group, has already contributed
sufficient money to pay for the con-
struction and the maintenance of
the medical school. The 100000
that is now being raised is wholly
to enlarge and modernize the hos
pital, SO that it can participate in
this project, and enable the Wake
Forest Medical School, which will
be moved to the hospital grounds, to
extend its course from two to a
complete iour years.
'The campaign committee urgent
ly expects local committees where
ever possible to complete their task
before November 20, SO that the
campaign can go over the top in
time, said Mr. Wilcox. 'By CORE
lating plans SO that the enlarged
hospital and the medical school can
be built at the same time, a great
saving can be made"

Panama took the longest step in de-
claring security zone", 300 miles
wide on the average off the shores
Of the Americas, in which sea war
fare by European belligerents' war
ships is barred.
1t is true that the new neutrality
acts provisions barring American
ships from combat areas, prohibit
ing them from carrying munitions to
belligerents, and keeping American
citizens off belligerents' ships and out
Of war zones, are strongly isOlationist
These provisions were included in
the neutrality bill in recognition of
isolationist sentiment in this country,
partly as a concession to the Borah-
Nye-La Follette-V andenberg isola-
ZIONIST bloc in Congress, and were
backed by that group.
But on the central issue of the arms

Contest In Asia.
2. Asia. There one Of the greatest
of all world contests is going on. The
outcome may determine whether
Japan, the United States, England
France and China reach a new poll
teal and economic settlement, or
whether Japan instead lines up with
Russia, Germany and a new puppet
government in China, in a totalitar-
ian alliance reaching from the At
lantic to the Pacific ocean.
Japan has been brought to the
parting Of the ways by Hitler's deal
with Russia.
The United States has taken a
hand in the Asiatic contest of nations
by serving notice on Japan of ter
mination, SIX months hence, of the
commercial treaty Of 1911 between
the two nations which is of vital i'm
portance to Japan; by prompting our
ambassador to Japan, Joseph c. Grew
at the psychological moment, to make
his vigorous Tokyo speech protest
ing Japanese infringement of Ameri-
can rights in China, and by leaving
the diplomatic door invitingly open
for new deal, politically and econo-
mically in the orient.

its fleet in the Pacific In the back
ground Of our diplomatic moves are
the Warships headquartered al

DIcTAToRs FACE ECONOMIC RUIN

The news from Europe, so far as we
have been able to Judge, indicates def
initely that the standard of living of the
peoples of Italy and Germany has been
gradually lowered under the rule of the
dictators, Mussolini and Hitler. ,Ilas
Recent dispatches emphasize the diff
ficulties that these regimes encounter in
their effort to live on their slender re-
sources and there is basis for the <sus-
picion that both nations are nearing the
end of their economic resources.
While Hitler is far ahead of Mussolini
in dedicating national activity to the pur-
poses of war, both dictators have expended
vital national resources to build up their
fighting forces. This has been done at the
expense of the standard of living of the
Italian and German people.
Having subordinated every national
activity to the perfection of war machine
and having secured the apparent endorse
ment of their peoples, the dictators face a
serious problem. They are finding it diff
ficult to maintain the pace they have set,
and the power of their ornaments is
diminished by the strengthened arma-
ments of other powers. The dictators are
unable to secure basic supplies by pur-
chases abroad because of their weakened
economic structure and they see their
fsr~l% 4
nations.
In this situation Hitler and Mussolini
must decide whether to lower the standard
of living of their peoples to new low and
continue their program of rearmament, in
the hope of surprising other nations and
thereby acquiring world control. IL they
continue the armament race, they will be
matched by other powers and their rel
alive position will not improve although
the economic condition of their people be-
come worse.
So what? Well, this: Hitler and Mus
solini today are probably better prepared
for war than they will be at any future
date. They may create larger armies and
construct larger navies but their adver-
saries are doing the same thing. Rel
atively, then, Hitler and Mussolini have
better chance to win war today than
they will have later. Consequently, this is
their hour and if they do not take the
gamble now the chances are that, in few
years, their extensive war machines will
be too great burden for their peoples to
support.
Consequently, we look for trouble in
Europe. If no war develops before the
fall of 1910, there will be a likely chance
that war has been averted for decade or
more.

WITH JUSTICE

We are apt to overlook real-life
drama while we read of tales of adven-
ture. The true story of chief of police
force who had served eleven months in a
penitentiary for embezzlement fifteen
years before he served as police officer,
makes good reading. This man, after
serving his prison sentence in one
state, went to another to live. Here he
won the respect of the citizens and even
tually became chief of the police depart
ment. AS such things go, one day the peo-
pie were made aware of the previous re-
cord of their chief. In many commune
ties this would have been the end of the
story. But this city forgot the past record
and remembered the present record of
service, honesty and integrity of their
chief. He was voted to continue in of
flee. There are many cases of men be-
ginning over again, of living a new life.
They often need our help. - = 80 :.

FIGHTING YELLOW FEVER

The International health division of
the Rockefeller Foundation has vaccinated
1,058,252 persons in Brazil with new
vaccine against yellow fever.
This undertaking is interesting be-
cause of the belief, few years ago. that
the determination of a mosquito-carrier
would wipe out the scourge.
However, about two years ago. the
Rockefeller Foundation investigators dis
covered, in the jungles of South America,
a mysterious and formerly unsupported
carrier of the disease, whose method of
transmission remains undetermined. Con-
sequently, the vaccination of the Brazilians
has been undertaken as a preventive
measure while research workers attempt TO
locate the new carrier.

The Files Of The Citizen

Key West had a $4,000 fire
this afternoon. Not a conflagra-
ton of buildings. but big bon
fire in which 1880 packages of
contraband booze went up in
smoke. Scene of the seething
flames was the incinerator plant
grounds out on the county road.
Deputy u. S. Marshal A. II. Nc
Innis was the fire bug" who ap-
piled the torch and brought
about the destruction of 10000
bottles and $50 demijohns of in
toxicating liquor, including fine
and expensive brands that at
bootleg prices would hvae sold
for $500 had it not fallen in
the hands of the customs officers.
A. G. Lund, chief inspector of the
customs bureau in Key West, was
on hand to see that none of the
precious stuff escaped during the
burning operations. Three big
automobile trucks, one of which
was hauled by a tractor, convey
ed the ertswhile valuable wet
goods from the customs storage
vaults in the federal building to
the scene of its destruction. Nc
1nnis invited newspaper men and
cameramen to be present to COW

event. The liquors had been
seized from time to time by local
customs men and had been stored
pending court orders for its de-
struction.

The PINEAPPLE INDUSTRY
in the Keys began around 1870.
when a large group of Key West
ers left for the Keys and began
farming, principally raising pine
apples. Farming was over an
area of over 100 miles from FL
liott's Key south of Miami to the
Matecumbes, halfway down the
Keys. The pineapple venture
proved to be success until 1905
when the Cuban farms, with
larger acreage and cheaper labor,
had made such inroads into the
Key field that most OF the crow
ers had decided to discontinue
their harvesting. However. there
are many truck farmers still on
the Keys. -. - =
An pineapples were of the red
variety ard of excellent quality.
There was a grade above the
average grown by the farmers
and a very high grade known as
the SugarIoaf and Porto Ricos,
some weighing as much as IL

were shipped to Key West mar
kets by schooner.
