This ideal OF what he wants to

Hence the only really worthwhile
histories OF the world are those
histories which deal with the UNI

actually made our world what it is.
The curious part of this ar

makes the history Of the human

tell where the lightning may
strike and that those ideals
which shape the destiny Of man
may originate In the most unex-

An Indian palace win give us a
prince who for thousands OF years
will persuade his followers to de-
vote themselves exclusively to
silent meditations. A poverty

desert will contribute a camel

domination will create spiritual
and worldly empire reaching from
the Pyrenees to the frontiers Of
China.

is JAPAN WAITING TO MOVE?

Now that Russia and Japan have
between Manchukuo and Mongolia, it APP
pears that the Japanese will have freer
hand in deveoping their ventures south
ward in East Asia and in the South Pacific.
The Japanese military campaign
against China is continuing with special
emphasis upon the bombing of important
Chinese centers. 1t begins to appear that
the Japanese, in the future, will depend
more upon the airplane than upon the foot
soldiers to complete the conquest of the
Chinese under Chang Kai-Shek.
The intentions of the Japanese Gov
ernmcnt toward the areas in the South Pa
cific will become evident as further de-
velopments occur in Europe. The surren-
der of the French military forces does not
give Japan an entirely free hand, but the
subjugation of England by Germany
would remove the last remaining barrier
to an aggressive Japanese policy in the
Far East.
Of course, the battle fleet of the Unit
ed States is in Pacific waters where it ex-
ercises some influence upon Japanese ac-
tons. 1t will continue to do this until
Germany and Italy create threat against
the United States in the Atlantic Ocean.
If this occurs, the United States will prob
ably require the presence of the fleet clos
er to the continent and its withdrawal
from the Pacific will encourage japanese
aggression.

A COURAGEOUS STANDi

For over seven months the city coun-
ell, advertised in advance as the business
mans council, has been struggling with
the affairs of our city. Some progress has
been noted and reported upon. By and
large, though, it almost seems that the task
to perform is TOO much for even the ma
jority of conscientious councilmen, apply
ing themselves, as they do, to the problems
of the city many hours of each day.
Financial condition of the city is in a
bed way-note the slim paydays recently
Bills owed are piling up at fast clip and
the same old motions are made-"pay
when funds are available. Hope for the
future, naturally, lies in the ability to
evolve some plan to collect delinquent tax
es to such an extent that the city's books
may be brought to credit balance. ITO
pia? Yes-but not an impossibility.
Of interest, however, in affairs of the
council, is the apparent drift from har-
moniOus relations between several mem
bers of the council. The city applauded
proof was on hand ola sympathetic under
standing on the part of all councilmen-
and it was generally understood that no
personalities would be emphasized in mat
tiers affecting the city welfare.
LCokers-on at council meetings of late,
however, have been distressed to note
many Instances that point out an alarming
situation. Many votes on vital subjects, too
often receive the same split. The same
councilmen appear to be bearing the brunt
of attacks on progressive policy, and many
times the division of votes appears to be
based on no other reason than a uniting
with other members against sponsors of
certain measures. Thoughtful considera-
ton of projects and votes in favor, or
against, appear not to be cast on basis OF
what is good for the city,, but because
certain councilmen are for or against the
measure.
Such a case was the recent vote cast
on the approval, on first reading, of an
ordinance that will bring modernization of
the liquor license control matters in the
city. All councilmen, whether they actu-
ally expressed it, or not, were aware of the
fact that the old ordinances were anti
quated and responsible for much confu-
sion The new ordinance had received a
thorough study by the proper committee,
and conformed, of absolute necessity, to
the state laws on the matter.
Came the vote. Four in favor-three
against. The same courageous stand in
favor of the right way to govern the city.
Many times, much too many times, has
the vote stood that way. A narrow margin
in favor of progressive legislation. It has
happend so many times that it becomes
increasingly evident that other than con-
scientious motives govern the minority.
Narrow margin, or not, it is comfort
ing to know that majority of the coun-
cilmen fight en- for better city. 1t would
be pleasing, however, to witness unan-
imous vote on more important measures in
the future.

The Murphy Act was a blessing to
the tax-dodgers, but have they repented?
Not so it may be noticed. The delinquent
tax list which will be printed in The Citi-
zen shortly will be one of the largest ever
published, yet everybody (ncluding the
tax-dodgers) must admit that times in Key
West have been better the past year than
lor many year before.

This Is revealed today by the

2. A majority Is opposed to

per cent of those who do want to
see more help given would be
willing to send our army navy, or
