WHAT HAPPENS TO NEUTRALs

It will take fifteen years to rebuild
Rotterdam, which was bombed by German
aviators just about the time the Neither
lands government capitulated.
Undefended from the air the great
seaport offered a perfect target to low
flying German planes, which flew over the
open city in mass formation.
Observers say that it will take 10000
workmen and 1900 freight cars the next
six months to clean up the ruins. Some
$50 streets. $4,000 houses and several hun
dred stores and office buildings will have
to be cleared away.
We call attention to this matter be-
cause it illustrates what happens to neu-
trail nations that happen to get in the way
of Adolf Hitler's machine The people of
the Netherlands were neutral; they almost
fell over backward in their effort to con-
vince the Germans that they were nice,
peaceable neutrals.

BUSY DAYS AHEAD!<

Summer came to end here, as it did
all over the nation, last weekend, and Key
West will now figuratively roll up its col
lective sleeves for some good, hard ticks
at existing problems prior to the opening
of what has been prophesied as the busies;
winter season this city has seen in many
: year.
Not without considerable in the way
of accomplishments has the summer Sea
son come to an end. All in all, there was
surprising lack 81 dOldrums ir the civic
with most bodies keeping up regular
schedules of stated meetings, with a few
extra ones thrown in for good measure.
Staying with the projects that came
up for consideration during the summer
months will serve the various agencies in
good stead during the busy Fall months
just starting. Many of the projects are
well started by reason of this unslackened
activity during the three months of sum-
mer-and it will be all the easier to con-
tinue the same, progressive pace forward
as cooler weather approaches.
But two months remain until the time
when Key West will begin to feel the pres
sure of tourist demands for our facilities of
all kinds Additional naval personnel is
scheduled to be with us during the coming
winter months, so it behOOveS all of us
who, at all times, want to present the Is
lard City in as orderly and efficient a
manner as possible, to get on our toes now
and finish up some of the jobs that have
been left over from last season.
A good start or repairing the streets
has been made. Particularly is the naval
contractor to be congratulated for the very
fine job of filling in the water lire excava-
ton all along Eaton street. The Board of
Public Works has started on some of the
other Streets-but hundreds of holes re-
main yet to be filled. 1t is most desirable
that our streets be in good repair to start
the season off on good footing.
Housing facilities will be better than
last year-but, in this department The
Citizen feels there is going to be trouble.
Demand it now appears, will far exceed
the supply of rooms end apartments.
In many other ways, we can all busy
ourselves to prepare for the big season
ahead Let there be no shirking of respOn-
sibilities in the several tasks set before us.

NEWSPAPERS AGAINST ROOSEVELT

Two-thilds of the nations daily news
papers support the candidacy of Wendell
L. Willkie, according to survey made by
Editor and Publisher. a newspaper maya
zine
Of 1883 daily newspapers in the
country, 1880 recorded their political
position Of these, 6S3 were for Wlllkle,
2O8 for Roosevelt and 139 for neither.
The survey disclosed that the proper
ton of returns was best from States in
which preference for Mr.. Willkie pre-
dominated and where there was something
of an even division. It was weakest from
States that additionally favor Democratic
candidates.
Interesting also are the figures for
1886. when $50 newspapers were for
Roosevelt and 523 for LandOn, ard 1892,
when 399 were for Roosevelt and 537 for
Hoover.

A speech written by som.

A speech written by some one else
than the speaker has not the ring of sim
cerity as the one written and delivered by
the same person. At the same time it is
impossible TO remember all the ghost
writers have written, and that is one rea-
son why President Roosevelt has so often
cOntradicted himself. Raymond MOley,
once a brain-truster, disclosed that he
wrote part of the 1882 speech of accept
ance and that Mr. Roosevelt had not even
seen the speech until he arrived IN Chi
cago. How can a person be properly i'm
pressed with what others have written for
him. Though a good orator certainly can
awe an audience composed of average in
tellieence. Undoubtedly Mr.. Roosevelt
would gladly have unsaid many OF the
thoughts of his ghost writers had he taken
the time to digest the statements.

Few j. ). Prisoners
Receiving CIemency
Commit New Crimes
Only 81 Out Of l,555
Freed by Roosevelt
CIussed as Recidivists

Federal prisoners who have re-
ceived clemency from President
Roosevelt have, in all but fraction
of the cases, justified this consid-
Grafton. A report issued today
showed that only 81 out of 1855
beneficiaries, or $50 per cent, had
subsequent criminal records.
The report, compiled by the Justice
Department and issued from the
White House, covered the first six
years and three months of Mr..
Roosevelt's administration. 1t dis
closed that the largest percentage
of later law infractions was among
the 219 whose original sentences
were wholly or partly communted.
OF these, 80 got into trouble later.
Two Turned Over to States.
Two, however, had their Federal
sentences commuted "for the ex-
press purpose of turning over the
prisoners to the State authorities"
for punishment on charges of mur-
der committed prior to incarceration
on Federal charges. Four more in
volved aliens whose sentences were
shortened to expedite their de-
portation"
The report said since the par
doning power was exercised in these
six instances to serve the interests
of the community rather than to
extend mercy, they should de de-
Quoted from the recidivism study.
This would reduce the grand total
of those involved in subsequent in
fractions to 81, or $40 per cent, and
cut down the communication group
down to 26 and it's rate of recidivism
to 11.87 per cent.
"a Given Full PardOns.
OF the 1855 clemency recipients,
"a were pranted full and uncondi-
tional pardons. of the latter, only
two were re-arrested, and then only
for intoXication and disorderly con-
duct. These two had been pardoned
because they were convicted of theft
from the Red Cross, an offense not
made criminal by Federal law.
Out of 985 prisoners receiving
pardons to restore civil rights, 80
violated the law afterward. Many
of these infractions were of a minor
nature" the report stated.
There were 267 remissions of
fines in the 1855 total In this group,
