Ell CRITIC DE YARA-1s4I

Key Westers-both those of Cuban
extraction and those of other blood-today
waited to welcome the ENJOYS of the Cuban
government expected here aboard a gum
boat for the annual celebration of ''El Critic
de Yara''
Tomorrow, while world war RACES
in conquered Europe, in Africa, in Russia.
in China, on the sealanes of the Atlantic
and in the skies over most of The world,
Cubans and Americans in Key West will
honor the dead ihthe long Struggle bfer,
Cuban independence. - 8aA bss
II is difficult to eonceivef<of time
when that commemoration ofcuba's war
to be free was more deeply significant than
it is now.
Freedom, when the cry for it arose at
Yara in 1868, was something to be fought
for, to die for against the overwhelming
vdds Of an armed aggressive and arrogant
Spain. The Cuban liberators whose bodies
lie in the Key West cemetery did fight and
did die
But freedom changed in the years that
followed Cuba was free. The United
States had been free for many years, and
the thing the Cuban liberators and the
patriots of the 13 colonies had fought for
was cheaper thing in the hands of the
descendants to whom they passed it.:
Freedoms was IKE airA4vaIGa5h. tb be
sure, but thing possessed in the aefessary
quantities by al men - slsss II
Then freedom changed again.
For freedom, as the Cuban leaders and
Key Westers celebrate lei Critic de Yara"
tomorrow is not like air, is not thing pos
segsed in the necessary quantities, or in any
quantity at all, by the majority of the peo-
pie on earth That is the spirit in which the
two islands of Key West and Cuba tomor-
row will stop to remember the band of men
who cried for Cuban independence in 1868
America, after the years when the
Latin American cry of dollar diplomacy"
was fully justified, is ready now to share in
the community of interest necessary for the
defense of freedom in this hemisphere
Between Key West, Cuba and the men
whose bodies lie in this city's cemetery,
that community of interest already exists

NEW INCOME TAXPAYERS

The new tax act brings in an additional
2,275,000 new taxpayers who have small
incomes but have never been taxed before
by the government. The new law includes
all single persons with incomes above $3.50
and married people with incomes above ST.
500 and all of these viii pay, taxes to the
government to the amount of which is ex-
pected to yield 81, f44, Geo; eee fer 4sevr-4le-

What a lot of bowling and kicking
there is going to be next March. The vote
by which this tax bill was passed in Con-
gress cannot be charged to the Republican

pretty sight
If to your plants no care YOU
give,
My little dears. they will no
live;
And if they do, they'll grow
quite wild;
And so it IS with every child
Her bringing up requires much
care.
Parents and teachers do thei1
share:
And she herself must do her bit
This daily toll must mean much
grit
Your virtues call for watering
aid,
Grating Of new ones must be
made,
And you must trim the withered
leaf
OF useless Iads. and, 10 be brief,
Dive off the bugs Of naughtiness
Like anger. sloth and haughti-
ness
ri powder white your roses red,
And on the white ones red dust
shed.
'OooOl Please sop thisl'' you
shout in fright.
oh do not daub the roses
white,
You'll spoil their looks with any
paint.
SO too don't PASS for what you
amt
By seeing fairer with the aid
Of pOwdering what Nature made.
Your faces, dears, are nice
enough
Without the aid of powder-puff.
That little girl is beautiful,
Who TO her God IS dutiful
And she smells sweet whose soul
IS clean;
Within it Gods bright face IS
seen
Your pretty rose-trees. how I
love them:
I ike my rose-buds. you. above

You're restless: must end, I
guess

Yet the Negro, who in time of war

somewhat
expressive
By Harold Holifield


. About the Booker T. Wash
ington play center in Spokane.
Rumors have reached this office
to the effect that this center main
tains recreational facilities solely
for the benefit and use of Negro
children. In other words, it is dis
criminatory and against any mix
ing of the races.
In the Spokane paper was cut
and a story about the center which
stated that the center was the
first of its kind in the state.
If it is so that it is solely for
Negroes, Somewhat ex hopes that
it will be the last of its kind in the
state.
There is no reason for and no
gain to be made by having ex-
clusively Negro recreational
grounds.
That sort of thing is a function
of the South.
That sort of thing should re-
main in the South.
AS said before, these reports are
rumors, mere whisperings, but
rumors converging from different
sources are generally grounded on
fact.
1t is hoped however that they
are untrue.
II they are not, it is hoped that
they will become untrue.

JUST TO
REMIND YOU
By e. I. r.
Continued from Page One)


An emperor of ancient times,
after winning a great battle, said
this: "One more such victory, and
1 will be ruined" His losses of men
and material had been so great
that victory left his people weary,
exhausted, and low in morale.
Some think that may be Hitler's
fate even if he finally subdues
Russia. At conservative estimate
he has lost, in killed and wounded,
1000, 900 men, and they are the
cream of the Reichswehr. In the
meantime, his main opponent, the
English, are suffering almost no
casualties and are growing strong
er fast.
WHEN is HITLER COMING
TO THE u. S. A? When Uncle
Sam gives him passport and not
until then. Should Hitler win Eu-
rope, he may be in a position to
cripple us by destroying our for
eign trade, thus increasing unem-
ployment, lowering our standard
of living-a fertile field for Com
munism, the end of our Wanted
democracy.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness are the three freedoms
of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, given us in the horse and
buggy days. President Roocevelt
gives us four modern freedoms
Freedom of speech, freedom of
worship, freedom from want and
freedom from aggression. He later
said the only thing the people have
to fear is fear itself Our only fear
is the loss of our liberties and the
fear of God.
