GOOD NEWS IN THE NEWS

Following period during which moth
expansion news appeared in the columns
of The Citizen-things were somewhat at
a standstill-yesterday's spread of news on
page one came as return to form. We're
off again on another spree of pleasant
anticipation for bright future. And that
Is good news-anyway one looks at it.
Navy plans for future expansion, of
course, come first. There is ample proof
in the Key West picture to believe that our
base will become che of the most i'm
portant in the southeast area of our nation.
Additional appropriations moved into first
line position in Congress indicate period
CT unsurpassed activity for Key West dur
ing the coming few months.
But that, by no means, is ALL Take
that story of building permits issued for
July and agree with us that private con-
structlOn expansion IS in a healthy condi-
ton, with trend definitely pointing up
ward. Postal receipts, too, keep up their
last pace of increase.
Possibly rating top position over all
the stories concerning a bright future for
our city was the one in which it was an
nounced that joint meeting of the State
Road Department and the Overseas Bridge
Commission would be held later this
me- nth. The meeting will be held here and
there are definite assurances which point
20 action coming when these two bodies
meet that, as one official state-"will
mean much to Key West.
Add them all up and you have a COM
posite picture of prosperity-plus for Key
West. Good news in the news is again the
order of the day and we are looking for
ward with keen anticipation to the oppor-
tunity to spread still more of the glad
tidings

is BUSINESS BIGGER THAN
GOVERNMENT?

''Tnis nation can only be ready" for
the dangers that lie ahead, says Colby NJ
Chester, ''if business genius and govern
ment enlist in patriotic service
So far, so good! Mr.. Chester then
says, Business is ready for great sacrifice,
but at the same time business warns: No
monkey business, no profiteering, no graft,
no tricky stuff, no politics in our mobiliza-
ton for the defense of our free system of
life
The same warning can be justly given
to business by government, acting as the
elected agent of the people. There have
been, and there are, business leaders guilty
CT monkey business, profiteering, graft,
tricky stuff and politics, and decidedly
more to the point, when the government
has attempted to correct these evils of
business, good business men have de-
nounced the government for interference"
with business.
There are so-called industrial, finan-
cial and business leaders in this nation to-
day who have the idea that business is
superior to government. that government
must rule with the consent of business
leaders and that any reform, opposed by
business, is radical, revolutionary and
red.
The fact is that when business gets
too big, CIR thinks it is too big, for govern
mental regulation and control in the in
terests of the entire people, then it is time
for somebody to put business in its proper
place.

you could call it that to make
the government departments let
ter-writing conscious has gained
such impetus that the poor man
is sort of quadruple-drafted for a
third term. In other words, the
various federal agencies have
discovered that there are few
things more important than say
ing it right when you say it in
print something that we writ
ing Johnnies have told them a
long time ago. Often, there is no
more than an adjective between
libel suit and friendly relations
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-08-02

The heroes of the war for American
independence receive much praise from
their descendants but, just the same, if
they happened to arrive in Key West today
from their celestial homes, they would
have hard time getting on cordial terms
with their proud antagonists.
Democracy is a word, much used by
our best people, but, actually, many of
them have nothing but contempt for the
average man. We have, in our midst, just
like every other American town and city,
q number of what might be called sue
cessful business men, who are thoroughly
convinced that what the nation needs is
their leadership.
The man or woman, who is against the
rule of the majority of the people, is not a
democrat, regardless of what he says. These
self-appointed advocates CT their own SUI
periority are the traitors of democracy in
times of peace and, if disaster ever strikes
the United States, they will be the traitors
of war time.

a standard portable television

by ce-axial cable with a 12-inch

The good neighbOr' policy of the
United States is not an abstract theology
but concrete proposition. We propose to
lend Latin-American countries the sum of
$500.000,000 to carry forward our pro-
gram of economic solidarity in the Western
Hemisphere. Time will tell whether the
movement was right. The friendly loan of
money to a person often results in the loss
