triotism of Americans of Jewish
extraction.
1t is a high example to others
in this country who, having no
such restraint, form their Sympa-
thies, indignation or opinion, plead
everything from contributions
from the United States Treasury
to military or naval action. Any
such thing urged through Govern
ment action is an attempt to force
other people who may not agree
with them to do, and pay, and sac
rifice, and perhaps die, for some
thing which these OpiniOnated peO-
pie are unwilling to do individually
but are quite prepared to make
their cOuntrymen do collectively.
It has always seemed to me that
there is an excellent alternative
for them. If they want to fight,
there are many foreign legions
where they can do so. If they
want to pay, they can also do that
to their hearts content. In neither
case will they involve their coun-
try.
Now, Jewish people are not alien
to us. They are of the race which
gave us our religiOn-nOt only the
Old Testament but the mother of
our Lord Jesus Christ. They gave
us all the pillars of our faith and
when say "Our faith" 1 say "Our
civiliZatiOn"-the Ten Command
mentS, the Golden Rule and the
Sermon on the MOunt-the funda-
mentals of democracy, decency,
fairness and charity throughout
the human race. Men and women
of their people also gave the world
some of its most profound philO-
sOphy, its highest art, its most
beautiful music and poetry, a ba-
sis of its laws and more than its
share of the advance in science
alike in industry and in the heal
ing arts of medicine and surgery.
No, they are not alien to us. In
that and in many other senses
they are our own.

tempt and indignation as make it
hard to refrain from crying havoc
and urging flaming national ac-
ton.
Yet this, no responsible Ameri-
can who is aware of all the forces
working in this detestable COM
pick, can do. This country has been
and still remains the only safe
refuge on the globe for the victims
of such insensate prejudice and
cruelty. It is better not merely
for our 1SO.OOO, 900 people but for
the whole world that we keep it
so and not risk the last best hope
on earth by entangling it in the
complex double crossing, deceitful
maze of either European diplomacy
or European war. It is better for
us and it is necessary for us to
draw closer to each other in one
compact front and so perfect the
defenses of this hemisphere that
we can keep this peStilence of the
Old World out of it-cOme what
may.
That is easy to say but it is hard
to take, especially by those who
are tied by bonds of blood, race or
religion to unfortunates dear to
tnem who are caught in that terri
BILE trap. The impulse is strong,
human and understandable to urge
national aggressive action for the
sake of the particular kindred
which is ours. This is supposed to
be our weakness. We come from
so many diverse peoples that it is
sometimes said that we are neces-
sarily a nation of divided loyaltieS.
1t is not true. We proved in the
World War that it is not true. We
are proving it again today and this
time no group among us is prov
ing it in a test more poignant than
that of Americans of Jewish ORR
gin, whether of our pre-RevOlu-
tiOnary stOck-Of whom we have

For never in the whole long
bloody history of the persecution
of the Jews has anything been seen
to approximate this determination

have imposed in every country,

IF A CANDIDATE DIES

In view of the age Of some of the
prospective nominees, the question of what
would happen if a candidate for President
should die between the time of his nominal
ton and election day arises. The answer
is that the national committee of the can
didates party is authorized to fill the
vacancy, or it may call the national con-
vention for that purpose.
If a candidate for vice-president
should die under the same circumstances a
similar procedure would be followed.
This actually happened in 1912, when
Vice-President James S. Sherman was a
candidate for reelection with President
Taft Sherman died or October 80, only a
few days before the election, and the Re-
publican national committee named Nicho-
las Murray Butler to take his place.
Taft and Butler carried only two
states, Vermont and Utah, on account of
the split in the Republican party caused by
the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt on
the Progressive ("Bul1 Moose'') ticket, and
Wilson was elected.
If President-elect should die be-
fore inauguration day, the Vice-President-
elect would become President. But if both
should die before Inauguration day, Con-
gress would determine the method of Sc
lecting new President.
If both President and Vice-President
should die after Inauguration, the Secre-
tary of State would become President.

REMEMBERING THE MAINE

Forty-two years ago this week the
cable stretching from Key West to Cuba
carried the startling announcement that
the United States Battleship Maine had
blown up in Havana harbor. Key West
became the focus of national and inter-
national attention. Later many of the
Maine dead were buried in what is known
as the Maine plot in Key West cemetery
On Thursday, Feb Is, those heroic
dead will be remembered On Feb. Is,
1898, they were killed or injured so seri-
ously that they died. That their death was
not in vain is attested by the declaration of
war on Spain by the United States. This
conflict lead to the liberation of Cuba from
Spanish rule. Today many of the de-
scendents of the Cuban patriots who
fought for freedom are among the citizens
of Key West
Ir arranging for memorial services at
the Maine plot on Thursday, B. H. McCalla
Camp 5, United Spanish War Veterans,
this year has outlined fine program in
which the general public should be deeply
interested There will be a parade
throughout the city at 80 p. M, with the
services at the cemetery scheduled to get
under way at p. m.
Among the speakers will be Capt.
Arthur S. Carpenter U. S. NJ, senior Of
ficer of the naval forces afloat in this area,
and Capt P L. CosgrOve, Jr., retired, who
commanded the Lighthouse Tender Man
grove when it entered Havana harbor
after the explosion and carried some of the
dead Id wounded back to Key West.
Memorial services to the Maine dead
take on a new significance this year. The
navy is again component part of Key
West life. 1t was at the time of the Maine
disaster. This time the navy is charged
with the duty of maintaining the neu-
trality of the United States in the Euro
pean disturbances. Anything might hap
pen to one of the naval vessels now oper-
ating out of Key West, just as the ex-
plosion that sank the Maine happened
when it was not expected
In remembering the Maine, the citi-
zens of Key West will also remember the
men of the nations defense forces who are
now on national emergency duty in this
area.

It is said that state officials are puZ-
zied that there is no particular eagerness
by spectators to buy land acquired by the
Murphy Act of sainted memory. Owners
who lost their lands through error, care
ll@sness or oversight will be given full con-
liberation by the /. l. Board which has
3c5h0rity to deed back to the owners the
property of which they have been dis
possessed under those circumstances. The
failure of the previous city council to Muir
phyize the properties which the city of
KEY West had acquired or owned will now
cost the taxpayers considerably more than
il that matter had been attended to in the
first place, but undoubtedly the l. l. Board
will give the city break and permit re-
possession at no great cost. It recently
agreed to accept bid of 500 from Port
Tampa for 1000 lots needed for the army
base, Economist Fuller states in his Flor
ida financial news letter. He also states
the case of a family which had continuous
~ lived and owned farm in North Flor
ida for more than 100 years to have found
that the state had acquired title be-
cause of one years taxes of less than
$1,000. To have retained this property
under the circumstances as stated, the
Board would have been guilty of con-
fscation, which is a polite word for rob-
ber.' But the |. /. Board is not function
ing tat way.

HITLER PROMISES WAR

hcr Hitler promises Great Britain
and France the war they have asked for
He still poses as a seeker of peace.
This pose is repeated after the recent rev.
citation of the outrages in Poland and
Czechoslovakia, where thousands of help
less people have been impressed into labor
service and number are reported to have
been slain.
Hitlers public attitudes seem so I'M
reasonable on the basis of his brutality to
other peoples that one must accept the
conclusion that nobody counts in his think
ing except Germans, or that he is hope
less lunatic. In either event, he is a dan
gerous man to be running at large with a
war machine as formidable as that of Ger
mary.
