ANOTHER GOOD REASON

The point was we'll taken by Repre-
sentative Bernie C. Papy that, as county
commissioners represent the entire county,
they should run at large in Democratic
primaries. where nomination is equivalent
to election.
Some Key Westers are under the inn
preston that, in the event the proposed
law goes into effect, all five commissioners
will have to run in the primary of May,
1916, but such is not the case. In the No.
Vemher general election constitutional
amendment was adopted extending the
term Of office Of commissioners from two
to four years,
However, those terms are alternating.
and 20 comply with the law in that respect
two at the commissioners, in the last cleo
ton, those from the second and fourth, now
represented by Frank Bentley and Maxine
Nalde9, were elected for two years only.
Next year. when they or their successors
are elected, the term will be for four years.
ana thereafter that Wil be the length of
service. though commissioners will be
named every two years.
That arrangement was made because,
1t no time in the future. will it be possible
to retire all commissioners at the same
time. which we consider to be good pro-
vision because five Inexperienced men can
not begin their terms of office at given
date Two or three commissioners, depend
ing on the alienation, always will have
two years experience or more on the board.
The fact that hereafter the term of
office will be twice as long as heretofore
is another good reason why the voters of
the entire county should cast their ballots
in nominating commissioners.

FRANCE HAS DOUBTS

The French government will propose
au amendment to the DumbartOn Oaks
plar. chiefly for the purpose of insuring
the independent operation of the pact re-
Gently signed by France and Russia.
The French would exempt treaties of
assistance concluded between members of
'hg organization. so that France and Rus
la car take military action against Ger
many under heir pact without the author
zation OF the security council.
I'm addition, the French would stipu-
late The right of passage" among the ia
eliities.to Dee placed at the disposal of'the
peace organization. This would mean, in
relation 10 the French and Russian pact,
bat Russian troops would have the right
t' pass through border states for the pur-
posse of moving against Germany.
Until more definite information is
available as 20 the nature Of the French
proposals md until the form OF the Dunn
aaron Oaks security plan becomes more
definite. ]. is rather difficult to pass iudg-
gn upon the French proposition.
Plainly. il shows that the government
81 France is not taking too much stock in
uuty under the authority of a world
gcQ organization, although it does not
lreex.arily mean that the French will not
Hnnort such q cooperative program if, aft

1T NEGATIVES ONE IDEA

It was to be expected that Representa-
tive Powell, negro member Of Congress
from New York, would ask that his race
be represented" at the San Francisco con-
ference.
He makes the interesting suggestion
that leaders of each national organization
for negroes, himself and his negro col
league in Congress be chosen to attend the
international parley to represent the dark
er races.
Obviously, it does not occur to the
Congressman that if negroes claim rights
as Americans they must be willing to ac-
cept representation, not by special APP
pointees but by whoever is named through
the official organization of government
The appointment of special delegates
to represent negroes would open the way
for special representation for all foreign
born minorities, religious organizations and
any other group that assumed that some
advantage might be so gained It would
negative the idea that most minorities pro-
fess to accept, that all of us are Americans,
entitled to equal but not preferential treat
ment

REGARDING ELECTIONS

Editor, The Citizen:
In recent issue of The Citi-
zen / find an article quoting
Bernie Papy at great length to
the general effect that there will
be a re-registration which will
govern the coming city elections
as we'll as the county elections
next year.
Mr.. Papy, if your quotations
are correct, goes to great lengths
to cite the need for re-registra-
ton, and even insinuates that use
of the old rolls offers opportuni-
ties for illegalities in the conduct
of our elections.
All of this is very true, as MIR,
Papy should know, MI. Papy has
been our representative these
many years and as a candidate
he mas had many opportunities to
observe our election machinery
in operation.
The strange part to me is that
Mr.. Papy has never been so keen
for reform before. even though
this condition has existed for
many years, and would be much
worse except for the close atten-
ton John England has paid to
the registration books.
We are all for honesty in cleo
tions, but it strikes my mind
that Bernie forgot to explain one
thing. How are the citizens Of
Key West and Monroe County
who are now away from home in
the services to be allowed to re-
register. Or are the men and
women in the services to be dis
enfranchised by Mr.. Papv.
1t may be that Mr.. Papy is
considering this, although ] saw
no mention of it in your quotes.
So this is by way of request for
The Citizen to let us know jus:
what the score is in regard to

A "MIRACLE" EXPLAINED

An Associated Press Dispatch written
by Don Whitehead from Cologne Germany,
speaks of the miracle of Cologne Cathe-
dral,' standing bove the devastation
wrought by Allied air raids.
The miracle" is probably explained
by the care with which American and Brit
ish aviators dropped their bombs and the
Intentional effort Of Allied artillery to
avoid damaging the ancient structure.
The fact that the cathedral is prac-
ticaly unframed should interest all people
because it is considered one of the finest
and purest Gothic monuments in Europe
Construction began in 1913 but not until
1880 was the cdifcc completed.
Apparently, Mr.. Whitehead, the cor
respondent, is more Interested in discover
ing miracles" than in reporting the facts.
Certainly, without the intentional forbear-
ance Of Allied veterans, the cathedral
would have been wrecked and the fact
might as well be recorded.

HUGO Washington Correspondent OF The citizs
as

Obviously, if the Russians &C
quiesce, there will be no threat
to the peace of the world. Equal
ly plain, if the Russians do not
accept the decision, the determi-
nation will be worthless and I'M
less the United States and Great
Britain are ready to go to war
with Russia about the matter.
This, we think, makes it plain,
as Commander Stassen asserts,
that if either of the three great
powers try to make war, nothing
will prevent the war. However,
we agree with him in expressing
the belief that these three coun-
tries will not want to wage war.
Each has, as he says, "A great flu
ture in the peaceful development"
of the world and each nation
seems to be. sincere in a desire to
establish and maintain an area of
peace.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1945-03-26

Commander Harold E. StaSSen,
former Governor of Minnesota, is
one of the American delegates to
the conference of the United Ma
tionS to be held at San Francisco
in April.
The MinneSOian recently eX-
pressed his personal views on the
problem of world peace, tending
to advance some type OF world
wide government as an eventual
goal. This, he understands, is in
the distance, but he apparently
believes that some beginning can
be made.
We call attention especially to
one of his declarations because it
IS important for Americans to I'M
derstand the fact expounded.
Commander Stassen declares:
If either the United, States, or
Russia, or Great Britain decide in
the next Is years to make war,
then there will be another war
and no organization or league, or
union, or treaties will stop it"
This is the absolute truth. It
explains why there is not much
sense in the hySterical discussion
about whether the large nations
have a vote, as members of the
Security Council, upon matters
affecting their own nations.
1t should be perfectly obvious
that, regardless of any vote, if
either of the three great powers
is confronted with an issue, i'm
portant enough in its opinion to
warrant war, there is no way to
prevent the war except for the
other nations to acquieSce.
We Go not know what solution
will be proposed to meet the OBJ
iect:0ns of the smaller nations at
San Francisco, but, in our opinion,
the chance of world peace will be
improved if the three great mill
tary powers are permitted to set
tie questions between thern, OF
between one of them and the rest
of the world, on the basis of a
friendly discussion.
Let us suppose, for example,
that the little nations Of the world
secure a declaration prohibiting
Great Britain, the United States
or Russia from sitting on the
council whenever any matter
concerning the individuals nation,
is up for discussion.
Under the rule, let us imagine
that a border dispute arises be
tween Russia and Rumania and
that a decision on the case IA
vorable to Rumania is made with
out the participation of Russia.

HAIR TRIGGER
WARFARE DANGEROUS
IN THE PACIFIC

In announcing that two Navy
PIT motor torpedo boats were re-
Gently sunk in the Philippine area
by our own ships through IAN err
ror in Identification Navy
spokesman calls attention to the
difficulty of identifying faSt-mov-
ing boats and says that, if there is
reasonable doubt as the identifi-
cation, naval commanders run
the risk of sinking a friend" rath-
er than letting an enemy get
away"
In connection with naval oper-
ationS in the Pacific and in con-
sidering the policy announced, it
is well to remember that the Jap
anese have made use of a large
number of small craft and that
the enemy often seeks to ap-
proach our Warships by stealth.
Under the circumstances, with
American lives at stake, it is nee
essary for our crews to maintain
a constant alert.
The PIT boats have been used
extensively and their torpedoes,
depth charges and guns have
played havoc with enemy craft.
The men who operate these g.
foot boats do much of their work
at night, in close quarters, and
in addition to enemy opposition,
sometimes have to face the fire
of their own ships.
Under these circumstances, mis-
takes can hardly be avoided and,
consequently, the occasional sink
