The strictest neutrality this coun-
try could adopt would not save il
IF it were to the advantage of
Hitler to make war on us" Senator
Lucas, Democrat, of Illinois de-
clared today as he urged speedy
passage of the British-aid bill.
One of several supporters sched-
uled to take the floor in another
long Saturday session, Senator
Lucas said he was reluctant to take
up time because the legislation
should be speedily enacted if aid
to England is to become effective
in time to bulwark our own de-
fenses.''
IF Great Britain falls he said,
in a speech prepared for delivery
during the afternoon, Japan will
carve up the Orient while Hitler
enslaves Europe and Africa. Then
the victors will partition South
America and build air bases on the
very edge of the Panama Canal.
Zone Way of Security"
TO deny this prospect is to live
in fools paradise. To refuse the
one way of national security now
remaining open to us is to disregard
the grim truth and to wander. wool
gathering, with our heads in the
clouds"
Having denied that the bill is in
any sense a war measure. Senator
Lucas said I'VE who support this bill
are the real guardians of the peace.
We are the realistic, hard-boiled
avoiders of war"
Two weeks of steady debate
reached fever heat late yesterday
when half dozen Democratic sup
porters of the bill clashed with
Senator Wheeler. Democrat, of
Montana. as he made the most
sweeping attack ct levelled at the
measure.
At one point Chairman George of
the Foreign Relations Committee
accused Senator Wheeler of filibust-
ering. The charge came after Sena-
tor Wheeler had asserted the ST.
300,000,000 limit on amount of exist
ing equipment that could be sent
abroad is meaningless because the
President could place any value he
desired on ships or other articles
loaned or leased.
Statement DiSnufed
'I deny that" Senator George in
terrupted, leaping to his feet.
For several minutes both Senators,
seated only few desks apart, were
talking at once, until Senator
Wheeler finally shouted, Il have the
floor"
yes" Senator George retorted.
"and you've had it almost two
weeks.
T'll have it for two more weeks II
I want it," the Montanan came
back, and then Senator George OBJ

both sides indicated they expected
a final vote by today. But as the
second week came to an end there
was no certainty passage could be
achieved next week, with 30 amend
ments to be disposed of. Admins
tration leaders to date have made
no effort to curb debate. but start
ing Monday they may ask the SEN
ate to meet an hour earlier than
noon.
Back Home Opposition Sought.
AS one after another of the op-
ponents spoke at length this week,
there have been growing indica-
tions they hope to cut down the big
majority for the bill by stirring op-
position back home. Starting late
Thursday, however, the advocates
OF the bill decided to reply to this
wave of opposition oratory.
Answering those who claim "ev-
erything will be peaceful" in this
country no matter who wins. and

ASTROLOGY A FRAUD

OUR WOODEN BRIDGES

Sheriff SaWyers warning, carried in
The Citizen this week, against use of
wooden bridges of Overseas Highway by
fishermen, is a reasonable request which
need not cause Inconvenience to LEGAL or
visiting anglers.
Both the state road patrol and the
sheliff's office have hesitated to interfere
with the anglers, but they were forced to
take action by the constant complaints OF
motorists against cleary illegal act.
In spite of the ban on the wooden
bridges fishermen who do not want to rent
boats can fish from docks both in Key West
and along the upper keys, and it appears
their use of c0rcrete spans in the system
VIII not be hampered.
The observation of Mr.. DAZZLE in a let
ter to The Citizen that there would be no
accidents if all the motorists remained
within the Is mile per hour speed limit
hardly is justified by the facts. Wooden
bridges in the system are so narrow that
automobiles buses and trucks have the
greatest difficulty in passing and a fisher
man easily could be crushed against the rail
by a car moving at five miles an hour.
F"om the standpoint of the motorists,
who, after ALL do outnumber she wooden
bridge fishermen, anglers on the bridges
constitute both a nuisance and hazard.
Their presence jams traffic and has caused
accidents both here and in other sections
when cars have sWerved out to avoid hitting
people standing at the rails.
A reasonable attitude would seem to
be for motorists to make every effort to
drive safely at all times and for the fisher
men to pick locations where their presence
will provide the least possible hazard.

FRANCE FINDS DEFEAT EXPENSIVE

The sloppy sentimentalists in this
country who constantly bemoan what they
call the "harsh terms" of the Treaty of
Versailles, often attempt to place respon-
siblity for present world difficulties upon
that Treaty.
These apOlOgists for Germany make
much of the Preparations payments which
Germany had to provide under the Treaty
Of Versailles.
It might be interesting to these Amer
leans to know that Germany, having de-
feated France last June, is demonstrating
the Naz technique of bleeding conquered
nation to the fullest extent
France is now being required to pay
four hundred million francs ($8,0O0,000-
every day for the maintenance of the Nazl
Army that occupies the country and wages
war against England from French soil In
addition, France has to pay for the upkeep
of two million French prisoners, still in the
Reich. where they are working for the bene-
fit of the NaZi government
The four hundred million francs which
France pays every day for the Nazi Army
are equivalent to twenty million Reich
marks day, or seven billion three hundred
million marks yearly. In addition, the
French are supporting the two million
prisoners of war still in Germany.
