SMALL END OF. NOTHING


by the legislature during the Cone admin
istration, was Incorporated with Dade
county in the same circuit court district,
and it was specified in the law that Monroe
was to get one of the judges and one of
the assistant state attorneys.
The purpose of the law began well,
for Arthur Gomez, Key Wester, was APP
pointed judge, and J. Lancelot Lester, a
Key Wester was named assistant state at
torney Since then the law has become
dead letter, for, on the death of Judge
Gomez, Miamian was appointed as his
successor and when Mr.. Testers term ex-
pired, a Miamian was named in his place.
AS has been explained to The Citizen,
the law in making that provision, conflicts
with section of the constitution which en-
powers the governor to name judge from
any part of Florida to any circuit, with the
only requirement that he become a resi-
lent of that part of the county in which he
s to serve after he assumes office.
What has been the result of that con-
stitutional power? Key West, tied to the
Miami kite is nothing more than knot in
han that: the small end of nothing.
News. from Tallahassee states that
Governor Caldwell is to name a man to
succeed Judge Joseph Otto, who is at pres
emf presiding Judge in circuit court here.
What name or names of attorneys to sue
coed Judge Otto, assuming that he will not
continue in office, has or have come out of
Tallahassee? All Miamians. Not breath
about the appointment of a Key Wester to
the office, as was intended under the leg
slative act
Further, because of the increase of
population in this district, it will likely get
another judge, bringing the total to seven
What names are mentioned for that extra
All Miamians. In other words
Miami is hogging all the seven judgeships
and the two assistant state attorneys, as
we'll as the state attorney, and Key West
continues as the knot in the tail of the kite
or the small end of nothing.
No wonder the people in the outlying
cities or villages in Dade county are de-
terminedly opposing the move to have them
incorporated in or consolidated with the
city of Miami. They.know that, should that
occur, they may wave goodbye to home
government, for Miami will strive to hog
everything, as she has always tried to hog
everything.
Residents of Coconut Grove fought
hard and long against being incorporated
in Miami, and, when the proposal was put
to vote, they turned in large majority
against incorporation, but were overwhelm-
ingly outvoted by the residents of Miami
In an attempt to give Key West what
she should get in the matter of one circuit
judge and an assistant state attorney, the
Monroe County Bar Association has con-
ferred with Representative Bernie C. Papy
to have him introduce bill in the legisla-
ture that will assure us the fairness and
justice that are rightly our due.

6y HUGO s. SIMS. Special Was
Nazis Plan Propaganda
For Postwar Period

The State Department says
that Photographic copies of Ger
man documents reveal a well-ar-
ranged plan to perpetuate Nazi
doctrines and domination after
the war.
This unequivocal statement
should be accepted by Americans
and their attitude toward post
war developments should be gov
erned by the realization that the
Germans will probably attempt
to set up a long-term program
designed to give. them another
chance to rule the world.
1t would seem impossible for
us to forget this fact but the air
will be filled with many voices
and much propaganda when
Germany is defeated. There will
be many Americans more inter-
ested in creating i'll feeling be-
tween the United States and our
allies of the present struggle than
in warning the people of this
country against Nazi propaganda.
The State Department tells of
German plans to rebuild eco
nomic, financial, and military
control through renewal Of pre-
war cartel agreements, to, recover
property seized by the Allies at
the beginning of the war, to
ishale in all chronological de-
velopments and to maintain a
propaganda program to soften up
the Allies through a subtle plea
for fair treatment of Germans"
If the people of this country
follow the example they set after
the last world war, they will be
persuaded that the Germans are
being harshly treated, that stories
and revelations about German
aims are but a continuation of
wartime propaganda and that the
news that comes from Germany
is untainted.
The German strategy, after the
war ends, will be based primar-
lily upon an effort to divide the
United States, Great Britain and
Russia. Every Nazi trick will De
attempted in the three countries.
Consequently, in the United
States we will hear much about
the evil Vaccinations of the
British and Russians and, unfor-
tunately, there will be people in
this country to fall for the yarns.
1t should be obvious to all
Americans that the peace of the
world depends upon the coopera-
ton of the three great Allies. If
the United States, Great Britain
and Russia manage to work out
program that will enable them
TO cooperate and develop peace
fully, there is little prospect of
another world war at any early
date.

maintain the friendship, forged

statements about me in your
issue of April II.
The facts are these. / was 60

came to the corner of White. The
green light was on and l went
very slowly, about 10 miles per
hour, as / saw the children
around. While l was going, the
little girl ran across and the
bumper struck her and knocked
her down. l stopped the car at
once when / saw her coming. If
l had been going fast l would
have killed her. Before I could
get out of my car she jumped up
and ran away.
Your paper stated that was a
hit and run driver and that the
child was picked up by some of
the children under the bumper
near the wheel and that drove
off. l am not as inhuman as that.
l stayed and made inquiries and
was told by one of the boys
standing near that she wasn't
hurt. and that l could drive on.
An eye witness to the affair went
as an evidence for me yesterday
and his statements cleared me
of all blame Nevertheless was
fined for not reporting the case.

the child did not get hurt.

he wasn't at his post? If he had
been there it would have been
avoided.

TN Miami they transferred to an
L ambulance plane, and Meredith
was glad when at last below them
they could see the palm-deco-
rated scrap of land that was their
destination.
They came to The hospital, a
wide, two-storied white stucco
building, with a wing spreading
out at either side that gave it
the appearance of the letter H.
Meredith saw instantly that every
room in the building would be
flooded with sunlight at some
hour of the day.
Meredith drew a breath of keen
delight as she paused for mo-
ment on the steps and looked out
over a sea as blue as Laps La
zuli, a beach of golden yellow.
Surely, any man who came here
for the healing of mind and body
could never hope for more
beautiful spot in which to fight
out his personal battle. She felt
a little better about Jerry as she
turned and went in to the hos
pital, where pleasant, middle
aged nurse with captains in
sigma on her uniform greeted
her cordially.

invariably did, long and tender
letter from Hugh.
From the very first letter that

that Hugh, was paying her the
tribute of telling her the truth
about how things were going at

war.
Both Houses Investigate
Domestic Meat Shortage
With. both the House and the
Senate conducting Investigations
into the food situation, it ought
Ito be possible for an impartial
inquiry to establish some facts.
There are a number of stories
going around about the meat Sit
uation. Despite the shortage in
meat shops, packers admit that
80,000,000 head of cattle are in
the country, which is pretty near
an all-time high. Packers say
that they cannot buy and sell
livestock at controlled prices
without losing money"
OPA officials bluntly deny that
the packers are losing and assert
that they made about seven times
the return they made in pre-War
years. Profits have increased in
hogs, according to the OPA,
while declining on beef cattle.
Moreover, the OPA says it has
expended about $l70,000,0O0 in
subsidies to packers, with most
of the money going to beef cattle
packers.
Other facts, or assertions, in
clude the statement that Canada
has surplus meat, with much of
it going to Great Britain but
some left to share with the
United States. 1t is said that
Argentina has considerable guam
titles of canned meat but it does
not get into the United States.
While the packers charge that
OPA price policies are forcing
them. to chose between going
black or going broke, James
BroWnlee, deputy Price Admin
istrator, points to high profits by
the packers, the number of cattle
roaming the ranges and asks if
packers are conniving with the
black market"
1t is hard for people to know
the truth in the midst of such
conflicting assertions. Of course,
it is realized that the owners of
cattle are interested in higher
prices and that packers are, quite
naturally, interested in profits.
The OPA is supposed to be inter-
ested in controlling prices and
preventing initiation in the cost
of living.
When conflicting statements
are made by cattlemen, packers
and OPA officials, the presump-
ton of the average citizen will
be that the OPA is correct. The
burden Of proof, so far as public
opinion is concerned, is upon the
cattle raisers and the packers to
prove their case.
With two investigations now
going on, they have their chance.
