JOE PEARLMAN IS
BACK FROM TRIP

Joe Pearlman, who has been
away for the past three weeks on
his annual buying visit to the
northern and eastern markets,
reports a most satisfactory and
successful buying trip.
Mr.. Pearlman has made con-
facts with a number of exclusive
ready-to-wear concerns, and said
in an interview with The Citizen
that while not all of the items
have arrived, the store is already
presenting an assortment of la
dies and misses, as well as chill
dren's wearing apparel, gagged to
be second-to-none in quality in
the whole state, in the popular
price range.
A visit to the store will con-
vince the most fastidious dress
ers that they can obtain at Pearl
mans the very newest in street,
afternoon and evening dress, as
well as a varied assortment of
two and three-piece suits, coats
and strictly mannish tailored
suits, so popular at this time.
Suffice it to say that Key West
residents will hear more of the
late models at Pearlman's in the
advertisements to come this sea-
son. i,

PROPAGANDA SEEN AS PEACE
THREAT; BUT CAN BE BEAT

studies British authors: Shake
speare, Thackeray, Dickens. That
is just one example.
| Think First
Propaganda becomes especially
dangerous, says Miller, when
you don't know what to do about
it.
Probably the most important
thing to keep in mind, says he,
lis this:
Here is a very critical situa-
ton for all of us. What should
we do about it? Let's keep cool
and get at the basic facts and
then, with the objectivity of a
scientist, make our decisions in
the light of the facts.
Propaganda is opinion. When
you hear opinion, ask:
who expresses it?
why?
What are the motives of peo-
pie who influenced him?"
Americans have "a better
chance to get at the facts than
any other persons, says Miller,
because American newspaper re-
porting and editing is the best in
the world.
Many Americans were not in
fluenced by World War propa-
ganda until we got in. Even then
it was necessary to resort to the
draft to raise U. S. army. And
tremendous propaganda was ne
cessary to sell the draft. So it
was called "selective service.
EverYbody's Doing II
A recent Dies committee re-
port charged extensive and unre-
ported propaganda operations of
foreign powers in this nation.
The 10 countries from which
most of the propaganda comes,
the report said, are Great Brit
ain, Germany, Russia, Japan, Po-
land, France, Spain, China,
Italy and Holland.
Foreign propaganda is a con-
tinuous process. 1t doesn't take a
vacation between wars.
According to the Dies report,
every medium for the commune
cation of ideas is being employed
for purposes of moulding Ameri
can opinion in the selfish inter
ests of governments other than
our own. Large sums are being
spent in the attempts.

Propaganda Analysis here to find
out.
| The answer was that while
propaganda is dangerous, it is by
no means fatal. And America
can still decide its own destiny
if its keeps its head, insists on
facts, and refuses to be swept
away by emotions.
Clyde r. Miller, secretary and
director of the institute, explains
that propaganda consists of far
more than obvious advertising.
A speech by Adolf Hitler, for ex-
ample, is excellent propaganda
for Hitler-because it gives his
argument, and is carried through
out the world. The same is true
of speech by Premier Chamber

If you consider all opinion,
however it is expressed, as pro-
paganda, you will not be far
wrong.
British Were Best
In World War No. /, Great
Britain won the propaganda bat
tie here. Before and during the
war, her strategy was to empha-
size her interest in the war as
Identical with Americas. A prin-
cipal technique of her campaign
was to convert American leaders
and creators of public opinion to
the British point of view. To this
end. Britain sent many writers
and statesmen to America.

weren't as suave or as polite as
the British. They didn't under
stand us as well.
There's no reason to get an
CRY about this, says Miller. "Any
nation would do this if it could.
Britain, because of the common
bond with us of languages and
culture, can do it better than any
other nation. 'u1

cultural ties with Britain are,

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just Ten Years Ago Today AS Taken
From The Files Of The Citizen

Work of reloading sugar onto
the British Steamer Levenbridge,
which began at the Porter Dock
yesterday morning, is progressing
rapidly, and large force of men
is employed in the operations.
There were 1900 sacks placed
aboard the ship yesterday and in
all probability as many placed on
the ship today. There are 5000
sacks in the warehouse to be
loaded on the ship and it is ex-
pected that the work will be car
ried on for about one week long
er. At the conclusion of the re-
loading operations the ship will
proceed to ports in England,
where the cargo will be dis
charged.
Editorial Comment: Plans are
now being worked out for a mu-
nicipal airport in Key West and
definite announcement may be
expected soon. The Citizen has
been urging this movement edi-
torially for some time and is
pleased to note that something
definite is being done along this
line. A local airport available
for the public use is the greatest
need of Key West at the present
time and will be an absolute ne
ceSsity in the near future.
Six Cylinder and Joseph Al
bana are scheduled to meet in the
squared circle tomorrow night at
Newark, N. ]. News received
from Six Cylinder states that he
has been going strong in several
battles, which were put on in
that section. According to other
news received from Newark it is
stated that Pete Nebo is slated
for fight in Coral Gables and
it is said that he will accept the
proposal and that means that he
will be again in this section.

Associated Press Feature Write
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-I
history is any gauge, there ar
three big barriers to American
neutrality in another great war
Here they are, straight from ex
perts who themselves profess NJ
bias:
/. Our very efforts TO
maintain neutrality dragged
us into the World War and
the War of 1912. our only
two struggles with European
nations since l776.
2. The profits of trade in
wartime are important TO
American capital. especially
when 100000 of our citi-
Gems are unemployed. and
it's not natural TO abandon
our stake in world trade at a
time when the financial 60
ing is best.
3. Americans wear their
hearts on their sleeves. and
will find il difficult. as they
have in the recent past. TO
stand by unmoved when
modern bombers rain death
on old-world cities.
From the early days of the re.
public We have stood upon the
principle of the freedom of the
seas, and tried to maintain ira,
ditiOnal air of neutrality. It's {
good trick, if you can do it, but
we haven't always been able tc
do it.
Looking For Profits
Take the War of 1912 against
the British-in which We really
were taking sides with Napoleon
and France against the rest OF
Europe.
Long before that war started
our President, Thomas Jefferson
had developed some pretty forth.
right ideas about European wars
When the British and the French
started fighting, he wrote to his
old friend. Alexander Donald:
Since the war is decreed by
fate, we have only to pray that
the soldiers eat a great deal'.
That was one way of saying
that he hoped American trade
would profit from Europe's bad
fortune. And he, with the tradi-
tionally neutral European states
insisted on the rights of neutrals
TO carry on heir ocean borne
business.
Here's the way modern-day
Philip c. Jessup, Columbia uni
versity's expert on international
law. views that situation:
Theoretically, the neutrals
position was that they should be
let alone. to continue their nor
NAL commerce. Practically, their
demand soon became that they
should be free to carry on their
immensely more profitable trade
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-09-12
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN DIFFICULT
FOR u. S. TO KEEP NEUTRAL

which was created by the high
prices of belligerent markets anc
the high freights for ocean ship
ping.
And So. War
Therein lay our trouble. British
warships seized American mer
and cargoes. Rather than make
war out of that, jefferson had
congress clamp on an embargo
prohibiting American vessels
from sailing to foreign ports.
Within year our foreign
trade thinned to a trickle, one.
sixth its normal volume. New
England wanted to secede. Bust
ness went from bad to worse. Al
last the embargo was modified
but the ill feeling between Great
Britain and the United States
mounted, and the War of 1912
was the result.
1t was very much the same
story when we entered the World
War. It's the usual way a neu-
trail gets tangled up in a war.
By the time German subma-
rines had sunk $4,000 tons of our
shipping and killed nearly SO
Americans, we were ripe for an
ger over the Lusitania disaster,
and a declaration of war.
In 1885, we first began to try
to shape up law to keep us neu-
trail in the event of war. BY
1887, we had adopted the age-old
principle of Jefferson-the en-
barge to keep American vessels
out of war trade in event the
President declared war exist
ent. That, of course, means
dropping our rights as neutrals to
free seas.
Trouble Galore
The history of neutrality has
been full of contradictions like
that. 1t leads to all sorts of COM
plications-arguments over con-
traband. privateering, retalia-
tions. Nations at war have even
fought for the trade of their enc
mics.
Great Britain, in the World
War, for instance, prevented
American shippers from sending
hogbacks to Sweden on the
grounds that the glycerin in them
found its way to Germany. Yet
Great Britain, herself, sent hog
backs to Sweden, and profited
from the trade.
These are the facts about
neutrality distilled from our
$50 years of experience as a
nation. We usually let our
sense of right and wrong
lead us into struggle. or else
we insist on our right to use
the worlds highways.
Belligerents don't always like
that. They seem to be more inter-
ested in winning than they are in
the rights of neutrals.

DIAMONDS IN METEOR
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON - According to
the Smithsonian Institution.
black diamonds have been found
in a meteor which struck in Ari-
iona thousands of years ago. Re-
covery of the diamonds is not
practical, however, because the
cost of cutting them out would
be greater than their value.
