CONGRATULATIONS. STONE CHURCH

Setting an example of permanenee in
this highly impermanent world, members
of the First Methodist tStone) church this
week are celebrating the ninety-seventh
anniversary of their church's founding
Throughout the week, ministers from
other cities will bring special messages to
the congregation and 2 representative of
the Ministerial Alliance viii bring the con-
CALCULATIONS of the city's other churches
Linking the present congregation withCthe
past, two of the ehurch's most aged mem
bers, themselves. unborn at the time of the
institutions founding. attended a special
service Sunday night.
Members of the church. as well as
other Key Westers, might consider this
week just what life was like on this island
when the first little group of citizens de-
cided to form a new group for spiritual bet
terment.
Less than % years before, John w.
SimOnton of Mobile, Ala, had bought the
entire island from the Spaniard Juan Pablo
Salas for $4,000 Only Is years before in
1881, the first cigar factory in the United
States had been established here and ~
years before, the territorial council had re-
placed the town charter with an incor-
porated city charter.
Consider some. of the things we think
Of now as old. but which actually came dur
ing The life of the Stone church.
Construction of Fort Taylor did not be-
gin until year after the church had been
founded and work started on Fort Jefferson
and the Marine hospital two years later.
East and West Martello Towers, landmarks
now, were not constructed until II years
later and the first Cuban migration did not
come until % years later
Leaders of Stone church now are faced
with problems their forefathers never
imagined when the institution was organ
led but history of 81 years should lend
them some strength to carry on.

U. s. SHOULD WATCH HITLER

The word comes from Washington that
the President is convinced that Hitler will
not declare war upon the United States, re-
CARELESS of what we do in regards to the
war in Europe.
This conclusion, we think, is sound for
the present. The future may produce a
different situation, however, and the rea-
soning will not be valid.
Hitler is apt to treat the United States
exactly like he treated Russia. AS long as
it suits his purpose he will 'lay low" and
say nothing. At the opportune time, if it
comes, he will launch sudden, unexpected
attack.
It may be safely assumed that the
United States has already earned the UNI
dying hatred of the Nazi Fuehrer. Back
of the desperate gamble in attacking Soviet
Russia may be the spectre of American sup
plies. tipping the scales of armament in
favor of Great Britain.
If Hitler succeeds in whipping Russia,
to the point that the Red army ceases to be
an effective fighting force, We suspect that
the next German offensive will be against
the British Isles and that, if this succeeds,
the second will be against the United
States.
It will be just as well for the people of
the United States to prepare their defenses
against the worst that can happen This
will be combination of Germany. Italy and
japan. with the possible assistance OF
Franco in Spain. The aim vii be the con-
quest of the Western Hemisphere and the
division of the rich territorial and monetary
spoils that these continents offer.

ALMOST AN ISoLATIoNIST

Mahatma Ghandi. Indian leader,
wants peace without victory AMI urges
the United States, before giving unlimited
assistance to Great Britain, to inquire
about the future of India, and other colonial
possessions. .,tssnzsr,.. -,t.t ITO,
The Mahatma has the makings Of an
ideal isolationist He is not worried, ap-
parently, about the fate of Belgians, Nor
wegians, Poles, Czechs, Greeks and other
peoples of Europe.
Like some people in the United States
the Indian Nationalist likes to pick at the
British lion, now engaged in a desperate
struggle with gang of predatory bandits,
but has nothing whatever to say about the
international cutthroats that threaten to
make permanent wrongs that are much
greater than anything that the British have
done in India, and elsewhere.

A TOWN BY THE SEA

Night jasmine, incense of high
wizardy,
Drifts through the darkness, IN
visible to my eyes;
Somewhere barbaric music loud
" thrills and cries,
And stabs with pain the nights
sweet mystery.
And the seas soft white waves
come creeping in to me
Like beautiful thoughts from the
crowded years
with their laughter and prayers
and lonely tears
And fill my remembering heart
with memory.
And I try 10 forget ali over
again.
But still remember a tale l have
read or known
A tristful tale of heavy hearts
and pain:
OF two who lived and thought
they lOved-and one
Who broke the others heart, IN

Long. long ago. in 4 town by

slovakia What is the explanation
of the Nazi efforts to promote rev.
olutions in various Latin-American
republics?
Does anybody suppose that if
Hitler completes his conquest of
the whole Eastern continent, he
will have no resentment for our
country's having made his cam
paigns harder and longer? Is it
at all likely that he will not seek
toll of us for the damages done by
American built planes to his Ger
man cities, and the losses of his
army because of American built
guns and tanks?
These things, and possible even
Qualities involved constitute the
reason for our supreme concern
with the Russo-German battles
around Leningrad, Moscow and the
Ukraine.
That is why. despite our antipa-
thy to Communism, we are glad
that Russia is holding back the
march of the conqueror, and that
is why we not only wish her we'll
in the enterprise, but are bound,
for our own sakes, to make her re-
sistance to the onrush of the Nazis
as effective as possible. The guns
fired on the Russian front may
save us from having to do our own
shooting later.

NATIONAL UNITY

When our isolationists hand out
figures about the breakdown OF
Uncles production of war material
they are giving comfort to the en-
envy. Hitler must welcome the
phoney information they give him.
The time has come to be either for
or against, your own Stars and
Stripes. Picking up every little
straw of gossip and broadcasting
it is doing our country no good.
Are the isolationists thinking more
of the 1912 elections than the de-
feat of Hitler? Or are they just
plain Hitlerites like Lindbergh?-

Now that repeated sinking of
cargo ships, either American own
ed or bound for our shores has
made it difficult 10 oppose the
Presidents program for stopping
this piracy, the IsOlatiOnists are
returning to their argument that
aiding Russia to withstand Hitler
is iniquitious.
They express their horror that
Free America should connive at
the Red Soviet's efforts. Il would
not subscribe to the doctrine that
you must be a Stalinite to be an
American" was one impaSsioned
declaration on the Senate floor
Nobody has suggested that we ac-
cept the Communist doctrines or
indorse the Red theory of econo-
mics and Government as part OF
our cooperation with Russia.
Though we are sending war ma
terials to help her stop Hitler we
have not abated our efforts to rid
this country of the nuisance of Red
propaganda. In fact, on the very
day of a special outburst of shock
at our extending aid to Russia the
jurist charged with making a re-
port on Harry Bridges recommend
ed the deportation of that individ-
ual because the examiner found
that he had been affiliated with the
Communist party.
The Soviet leader has assured
the world that his country is for
religious freedom. The Isolation
lists say this is only gesture to
encourage American aid. They in
sist that the Stain regime is as
Goddess as ever, and has not abat
ed, except as temporary expedl
ent it's hostility toward all rell
gions.
Suppose they are right what
has that to do with our helping
them stand off the Nazi conquest;
We are not working for Russia
but for ourselves, and while We
might wish that our temporary as
sociate had all the national virtue:
and no national vices-we woulC
very much rather have her-ever
as she is-with us than against u:
in the struggle of the democracle:
against the brigand powers.
The Economic Side of 1t
Our national policy is to preven
world enslavement by the Hitle
: war machine. The better figh
Russia and England can put up tn
better it is for the United State
of America. If Russia and Eng

can put Hitler out of business ou

Right now the chancellories

the democracies are doing their
utmost to keep Turkey on our side.
If they are successful, even if that
success is limited to preventing
the Ottoman country from being
either an ally of the Nazis, or hav-
ing her hide nailed to Hitler's barn
T door as another victim, it would
be a great victory, Yet our pos
sible association with her does
not mean that we are disposed to
! turn our Christian civilization into
a Mohammedan regime, or that our
helping her indicates approval of
all the principles of Islam.
So it is with Russia. We are
glad to have her blocking the Ger
mans, and it is only the simplest
element Of our national defense
to make that blocking effective.
The sincerity or hypocrisy of her
declarations of religious liberty
has nothing to do with the case.
Her communizing of commerce,
and industry we may deplore but
| that does not interfere with the
work of the guns and planes we
are sending her. We do not con
done her participation in Hitler
rape of Poland. Incidentally what
lis left of Poland is allied with Rus
sia in the resistance to the NaZi
advance now. In short we cannot
ltake into account either past his
tory or hated dogma, or individual
national interests, when we wei
come every vital addition to the
ranks of those who face the com
mon enemy.
The Pacific End of the Business
We know that across the Pacific
Japan is poised awaiting the out
come of the struggle 5000 miles
west of Nippon. She is divided
between her ambition to Hitlerize
Eastern Asia and Oceania, anC
her fear of the result if she chal
lenges the anti-Nazi forces in hel
part of the world. A German con
quest of Russia would launch ia
pans grandiose scheme of domina
ton of the Pacific and the ricf
islands on which this country il
dependent for indispensable mater
ial for defense. Given totalitarial
control of the VladivOstOk region
and it would make no differenc
. if Germany had it or if Japan tool
; it over for Hitler would pull tn
strings-our oriental commerc
would vanish. Either we Woul
have to war with Japan, backe
by the German strength, or at bes
we would be compelled forever t

ern ocean and elaborate fortifics
. tions for the defense of Hawa
and Alaska.
