+ Tax evasion and avoidance has been
practiced assiduouslyt by, many citizens sof
the United States; now after Registration
and CONSUMPTION becomes a law, evasion
and avoidance of those restrictions will be-
come commonplace. Like prohibition,
CONSUMPTION is undesirable, especially in
times of peace, but the war-mongers, who
have been proselytizihg for several years,
must have their wishes gratified at any
cost. For years this column has stated
emphatically that President Roosevelt was
manoeuvring this country into war and he
may succeed. CONSUMPTION is one step
further in that direction

Ernest Hemingway,

Ernest Hemingway the eminent
author and citizen of Key West, has de-
livered to Scribners, his publishers, the
final draft of his latest and longest novel,
which some critics who have seen parts of
i, describe as even better than Farewell
to Arms" Hemingway is quoted in an in
terview in New York as saying that he
worked on the book solid for seventeen
months, and that it has got to be good, as
his last job, ITO Have and Have Not, was
not so good, in which observation the
writer cOncurs and has in effect previously
80 expressed himself

No aspiring writer ever made
the grade without the encourage
ment of some successful writer.
Once helped by such a patron,
ever after they seem like a god
father, in whose successes you
take pride and somehow share.
That IS the way we feel about
Louis Adamic, author of MY
America.
Listening to Zone Mans Fam
ily'' on the radio Sunday night
certainly gave us a thrill when
two characters in the sketch dis
cussed Mr.. Adamic's book, MY
America, and told about his new
book to be published in the Fall.
/ Mr.. Adamic had a great idea
for obtaining material for his
new book, "A Nation of Nations,
getting ideas from everyone who
cared to express themselves on
the subject We, along with
hundreds of others, sent him our
ideas, so while our material may
not appear as we wrote it, we
will feel that somehow we are
summed up in the result
The method Mr.. Adamic chose
to inspire others to write their
ideas was to send them broad
side, list of provocative ques-
tions to be answered. Questions
were addressed to aliens or their
progeny, others to "old-stock"
/ Americans. He wanted answers
from RAeHs on such questions as,
! ''WhA x0iy and whence did peo-
pie of your. stock first come to
. Ameri |. ssiIow, does America
look nod o people Of your racial
or national, ,stock?", Would you
vote for a President for afthird
terms : Of dd-steck I Americans
he asked such questions as these:
What do you think or feel about
all these foreigners being here?",
when YOU think of foreigners
do YOU mean to include the i'm
migrants American-born chill
dren?"
/ In NV America" Mr.. Adamic
treated many other aspects of
American life besides the alien
problem. One section of the book
was on labor. its cultural and
/ psychological effects as well as
economical aspects We agreed
with MIR. Adamic that it is quite
necessary fo< a man TO take pride
in his work, even though it is a
Bedtime" job. and wrote to Mr..
Adamic first, thanking him for
making the subject SO clear.
We enclosed a sketch we had
writer, on the subject and Mr..
Adamic graciously encouraged us
to contintie WRITING. Right. then.

MIAMI STANDS BACK OF KEY WEST

We might as well admit that Miami's
ability to step into the lime-light has all
her other beautiful Florida sisters, includ-
ing Key West, biting their fingernails with
envy
As the Centurion said to ST. Paul of
his citizenship, that he had paid a good
round sum for it. Miami might we'll remark
to bel. sister cities that if they! would come
across With comparable fee for the pub
lie relations brotherhood they too could
exercise front page and rotogravure en-
Elements that would lure the heavy spend
ers past the dwellings of some very attrac
tive competitors for attention.
The above tribute to Miami's good
sense and enterprise is paid in good faith
and as a compliment to the most adept
grabber of, headlines within the scope of
the Monroe Doctrine. Only European
mass murder can beat Miami to the front
page, and all the money that Grover
Whalen is spending on the Worlds Fair
does not drown the siren song of our illus
trious neighbor.
But, nevertheless, and not withstand
ing, Miami does not happen to be the
nations front line of defense. That is just
another one of her all-embracing claims.
miami is we'll adapted to become a supply
depot for that advanced post, nearly 200
miles farther into the danger zone, Key
West. ..~.
Here is the Gibraltar .ofl the Carib-
bean. No enemy would bother our young
sister while Old Man Key West is in pos
session of his faculties and his shotgun.
Here, almost 200 miles nearer the Panama
Canal, guarding the Straits of Florida,
holding the key to the Gulf of Mexico and
all the water born commerce of the Mis-
sissippi Valley, the Old Rock waits and
watches, the far-flung Southern outpost of
the United States of America, diligently
cultivating the art Of the siesta in times
of peace, alert and vibrant with loyalty
when danger threatens its beloved home
land. a 80
No! We cheerfully concede almost
all of Miamis claims. Almost. We re-
joice in the fact that we can contribute
to the Magic City's prosperity by inviting
the world to visit Key West, feeling as
sured that Miami can take care of herself
as the visitors enter into and depart from
her enchanted environs on their way to the
Island City where the big guns lie like
sleeping mastiffs.
So, we might as we'll make virtue of
necessity and bid Miami welcome to all
the glory that she can think of and all the
publicity she can purchase with this ex-
ception; if she also desires the glory of
standing in the nations front line of de-
Tense, she will have to pick up and move
right on down the keys, getting closer and
closer to the all-important post of honor,
key by key, until at last, she has made her
home in Key West.
