10 EURoPE's DEATH MARCH

When the survivors of Bataan'S death
march came out of their Japanese prison
camps. nothing was too good for them. The
emaciated skeletons who had been heroes
in defeat were the object of a nations care.
If they had needed our sacrifice to give
them food to rebuilt their strength, the
flood of red points would have buried the
Capitol.
But if those men had been cut off from
our aid and become dependent upon our
allies for their food, we would have eX-
pected them to get the best-well, any
way, as good as, allies lg rave, theiir own

- Faced with that responsibility, there
ought to be no question of talk. There
should not have to be as much talk as is
taken up by this editorial. There should
only be food and lots of it and fast

How To Win Friends
And Influence PEOPLE

More than anything else, / re-
greet seeing those visitors to our
city who come here each year oc-
casionally bind themselves into
organizations which take them
away from association and friend
ship with Key West people. Some
visitors here, as you know, be
lieve that their thought IS the
only thought worthwhile in the
city. Now, their fresh ideas are
mighty welcome and believe me
their thought has been like a
cool breeze at times but the
greatest mistake they make IS
to go off by themselves Key
Westers are certainly some Of the
friendliest people in this country
and as long as you do not attack
them they will cooperate exceed
ingly well. You can 60 a long
way stringing along with them,
you can stagger along little way
by yourselves. Look at your sue
cessful monkey West - leaders.
See how they have coOperated
with Key Westers?

BELGIUM AND LEND LEASE

Belgiuh1l and the United States have
just settled their lend-Rase account, and
it turns out hat Belgium gave, as reyerse
lend-lease. $50, 100000 more than she got
from us. 1.-The goods and services which
the Belgiums provided went directly to
United States troops =. The excess of re-
ciprocal aid is largely the result of the
very cooperative attitude of Belgium in I'M
stintingly furnishing from its own limited
resources whatever was requested by our
armed forces after liberation" the official
joint statement of the two governments
says.
Well, the important point is not, of
course that we made dollar profit out of
Belgian lend-lease. 1t is that the Belgian
people wrecked still further their already
wrecked economy to help our men. Bel
gian civilians went without enough food to
help our troops. The point also is that the
spirit of lend-lease does not calculate
sthnes- in dollars, florins, francs. rubles or
uennds, but in the measufe of common sac
sfiffiee for common cause.
- MIn Other countries the balance has
been the other way. We have given more
than we got-that is, in money terms. But
how do you set up these accounts? What
about the invisible items? At how many
dollars should we reckon the value of a
British family killed in the Battle of Brit
ain. or hundred Russians manned at Stall
ingrad? How do You translate human suf-
fering and courage into units of currency?
Do you try to do it at all. or do you give
it up and say that the invisible items make
all other calculations of no Importance?

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

We are glad to note that Superior
Court Judge has ruled that the Chicago
Board of Educators practice of releasing
pupils from school to attend religious edu-
cation classes lis in direct conformity rath-
er than in opposition to the Constitutions
Billof Rights.
Las we understand the scheme students
are permitted to attend the CHURCHES of
their choice for the purpose Of receiving
religious instruction. While it may be
possible that the children could be given
such instruction on Sundays there is no risk
in permitting them to have the OppOrtun-
ity on weekdays.
The effort of some misguided liberals
to divorce the government entirely from
religious activity seems to be misplaced.
The ban is on any tie-up between state and
church, not the encouragement of religious
living and beliefs. So long as a school
board does not attempt to compel students
togo to particular churches. or to any at
all the idea of state-religiOn is entirely
absent.

Chapter 3
[Sunday 1890 am. to 1:18 ami
IT WAS after midnight and
l. Robey's small supper party had
only arrived a short time before
but it was already too gay and
every one was drinking quickly
as if bracers were needed There
was a feVerish quality IN. their
laughter. They seemed TO be
waiting for something and were
keyed to face it.
Julia was sitting by the large
circular table IN the corner OppO-
site the bar behind which RObey
stood serving drinks after Moore
had mixed them.
He set a glass of champagne
with flourish in front of Virginia
Jarvis, a cool, thin heiress who
had made her debut four years
before and had been popular IN
cafe society. Lately she had been
Franks constant companion She
was perched on one of the tall
red leather covered stools in front
of the bar. She would have been
colorless in her gray evening gown
except for the jade necklace and
bracelets she wore which height
ened her small green intelligent
eyes.
Liquid of gold for Ginnie Jar
Wis, with her hair of gold and her
heart of gold and-what's more
signifcant-her purse of gold"
"Just so don't have to add the
Golden Apple to all that" she told
Robey in her thin, clear voice
Every one laughed except Robey
The lead in his current play, THE
Golden Apple" was pursued by
women who sacrificed themselves
for his every whim and Julia
knew Robey did not like anyone
to take the part too lightly.
He went on quickly so that his
present performance as a joviRI
host showed no rift. Turning tC

pink drink that Moore had beer

This column approves the ac-

isn't right for someone to sink
a sum of money, or probably their
life's savings, into a building and
then be told they can't use it. Es-
pecially so when other buildings
of the same type were construct

thwarted by the negligence of

This point was brought out in

manager. we were granted a
permit to construct the building,

BILL BROWN OR BILL BLANK

A Key West doctor observed yester-
day in commenting on the coming primary
election:
Some people, in public life, seem to
be Obsessed with the idea that their offices
were created especially for them to have
and to hold continuously. And an anus
ing thing in that connection is that they
fume and even snarl at times when they
learn that anybody else is aspiring for their
Offices 81. ,...
How true, how trueI You run across
that attitude almost daily even in small
city like Key West. ~. -5--s
Blessed is that man or woman, hold
ing a public office. who realizes that we
live in a democracy and that any member
of that democracy has the right to aspire
for any office, the election to which is sub
ject to the will of the people, either di-
rectIy or indirectly.
Many a time, we have heard public Of
ficials in Key West and elsewhere denounce
a man simply because he has the ''effrOn-
terry to try to get the office this or that
public official holds.
How we'll some Key Westers realize
that they have just as much right to hold
a public office, provided they get a suffi-
cient number Of votes, as anybody else, has
often been demonstrated by, their running
every time an election is held in the city
or the county.
And they are not to be blamed for
entering Al yslpolitical race If they can
not be con- inced by former defeats that
they have fot chance to win, that is their
own misfortune. though they do not con-
slider it as such. for we have heard each of
them remark, after a defeat, I'll make
the grade next time, which is remindful
of what some poet said, Hope springs
eternal in the human breast
And it is well that there is such a thing
as hope to spur us on to renewed endeavOrs,
else we would, indeed be miserable beings
But, to return to the question of public
office: Bill Brown or Bill Blank has just
as much right to hold it, if he can make
the grade, as anybody else in this de
mocracy of ours. aisaI.s.,,.., :.
