LOOSE MONETARY POWERS

Dispatches from Mexico City state that
the Cabinet of the new President Camacho
is unable to agree concerning measures to
improve the economic relations between
the United States and Mexico.
Several weeks ago the news filtered
across the border that Mexico was expect
ing to pull down a cash loan of so million
dollars through arrangements endorsed by
the United States Government. News in the
past few days indicates that Mexico now
wants a loan two or three times that size.
Other Latin nations are taking advantage
of the war and defense situations to press
the United States Government for similar
relief.
It is pointed out that the policy of the
United States Government in buying gold,
and silver offered by Mexico and other
foreign countries is being continued, despite
the fact that these loose monetary practices
are constantly increasing the dangers OF
credit initiation, and up-setting the efforts
of our Federal Reserve System to check the
growth of huge piles of excess reserves.
Mexico has received millions of dollars
of profits through its sales OF silver 10 the
United States Government. The evident
purpose of continuing to buy this silver has
been explained as plan of the United
States Government to help out Mexico by
being generous.
The activities of German agents IN
Mexico City appear to be Influencing OPP
position to the new President of that Re-
public. That condition should not be
ignored. The Camacho Administration has
indicated hopes of improving its relations
with the Washington Government, but 1t
seems to be unable to do so, because OF inter-
nal troubles. If the Washington Govern
ment should call moratoripm l,on buying
Mexican silver the chiselers at Mexico City
might consider plans of hesitation for the
crimes of Mexico against United States cltl-
zens. Then the prospects Cor solidarity IN
the Western Hemisphere would be likely
to improve.

WHY WORRY ABOUT LIVES?

vestiqation nearly always. says was an
unavoidable accident" We do not re-
member an "avoidable" accident in our
county for years!
This is a condition which Should be
corrected. but who is to do IT. Should
parties in car crash be expected to pros
ecute those in the other vehicle should
prosecuting attorneys, highway patrolmen
or police Officers bestir themselves when
accidents occur and see who is the party
guilty of blame?
If every automobile wreck was rlgldiy
investigated. with the blame assigned to
the guilty party. with prompt revocation Of
driving licenses. there would be fewer ae-
cidentS and more lives saved. However,
why should we worry about lives m a coun-
try that has 1873, 900 900 people?

BUNDLES TO BRITAIN

Addition of Bundles to Britain to the
war relief activities already going on in Key
West gives every citizen the opportunity to
co something toward relieving the misery
OF the innocent civilian populations of
great part Of Europe.
Refugees of every conquered coun-
try on the continent are huddled to-
gether in England, many of them homeless
and most of them without proper lPthllffg'1
Anything that can give them warmth @svlle7
Their it is sweaters, n1ittens, caps, chndfen s
garments or wool socks will be gratefully
accepted and quickly shipped abroad.
Mrs. Mary Barker, who is handling the
Bundles to Britain campaign in Key
West, is probably right when she says most
Kew Westers are wearing about all the wool
clothes they own, but there must be con-
siderable quantity of warm things which
have been outprown or discarded and tuck
ed away.
The campaign here is just getting UNI
derway. although it has been functionlng IN
other parts of the country since the start OF
the war Mrs. Barker is donating her serV-
ices to the program and it has every reason
to deserve success.
No one expects Key West, to dig up a
flood Of warm clothes sucheas New England
towns have been contributing. People
don't use many of them here.
But every bit helps.

TAG DEADLINE
ENDS FRIDAY
TAX COLLECTOR LOOKS FOR
BIG RUSH TO SECURE
LICENSES

Half the motorists in Monroe
county probably, will have their
automobile licenses today, but
with a deadline set for midnight
Friday, County Tax Collector Joe
c. McMahon's office is expecting
a wild rush from the other half.
Governor SpesSard L. Holland
two weeks ago extended the dead
line for new auto licenses from
January Is to the end of the
month and although he has the
legal authority to issue two time
extensions, he is not expected to
do so.
New licenses up to noon today
had totalled 900 and were expect
ed to go over 1000 before the Of
flee closes. Last year, the coun-
ty office sold 2,025 tags and it is
believed there has been some in
crease since that time.
Sheriff Berlin Sawyer, COM
menting on the slow sale of l94l
licenses, said after midnight Fri
day motorists with the old Ii
censes would be arrested. fined
81 and costs, which would amount
to from S25 to $40, and ordered
to buy a new tag. a

Perhaps under Governor Holland the
