Editor, The Citizen:
Pipe dreaming seems to be a
chronic affliction with us. Many
of our leading citizens still cling
to the persistent belief that Key
West will eventually become a
tourist mecca, entertaining little
or no regards whatever as to
such possibility Undertaking..
Herewith are a few things we
must have before contemplating
on the green light for tourist
trade. A Juvenile court, city
streets adequately paved, nice
beach, q white lighting system
along the main street and
Roosevelt Boulevard, incinerator,
and huge paint your home"
campaign. In truth, many are
the obstacles we must overcome,
because this is not a trivial mat
ter.
The writer feels that all vissy-
tors should be as welcome as
the flowers In May, but VINO
can deny that we are in dire
need of a greater year7Tound
weekly payroll. Industries too,
we must have.
For example, fish canneries,
cigar factories, Marie railways
and many other like improve

the United Nations Charter recites
that AL members shall refrain in
their international relations from
the threat or use Of force against
the political independence Of
any state. ="
American activity In China can
hardly be said to be In keeping
with these announcements. I do
not believe that the people under
stand why our armed forces con-
tinue to be maintained and maneu-
vered In countries with which we
have not been at war. I suspect
that Americans would like to see
all troops, Of whatever nationality,
accounted for honestly and then
withdrawn from the countries that
they are. in effect, invading.
AS Mime. Sun Yat-sen has said !:

1t is question OF the Chinese

II cannot be settled by balancing
armies or bargaining for this city

but human rights hang in the ball
arce."
We should not be taking sides in
the civil war that has ragged in
China for some 20 years. Democ-
racy does not exist in China and
we cannot impose it by force, not
even by espcusing the cause of
Chang Kai-shek, as ruthless, cruel
and treacherous a dictator as has
ever welded despotic power any
where.

even want to send more Marines
ito keep communications open.
They might desire our Army and
Marine officers to train more divi-
sions Of Nationalist troops. They
might wish to ship over more arms
and ammunition and join forces with
Chang Kai-shek's soldiers in their
civil war.
But, for one, I do not believe
that the people Of the United
States want any back-door war. AS
a matter of fact, they do not want
any war at all. Moreover, they want
to determine their own international
policy on the basis of the actual
facts, plainly stated.
We were doing pretty well in
China until President Roosevelt
sent that diplomatic curiosity, Mai.
Gen. Patrick J. Hurley, to China
as our Ambassador. He quickly
undid all Of the good that had been
done by Ambassador Gauss and
Gen. StilweIl.
A bull In a china shop could
hardly have been expected to wreak
the havoc that Gen. Hurley accom-
plished In China. Fortunately he
resigned and Gen. George G. Mar
shall was rushed into the breach.
He might have saved some Of the
pieces II Gen. Hurley had not done
such complete wrecking job. Gen.
Hurley was as good for China as
the atomic bomb that hit Hiro-
shima was for Japan.
Truman's Statement Recalled.
The American people remember
the statement Of President Truman
on December is, 1945, that United
States support (of the Nationalist
goyernment) will not extend to
United States military Intervention
to influence the course of any Chi
nese internal strife" Then there is
the announcement following the
conference of the Big Three Foreign
Ministers to the effect that they
"reaffirm their adherence to the
policy Of noninterference in the
internal affairs of China More

eign affairs as they relate to China.
1t is to be doubted whether. the
State Department knows in detail
what has been going on in China,
although some one there may have
read that Informative book, "Thun-
der Out Of China" by Theodore H.
White and Annalee Jacoby, which
every American should read.
At first the Navy insisted shat
the Marines were in China to help
herd the japanese soldiers back
to Japan. But on August Admiral
Cooke, commander Of our naval
forces In China, said that the re-
patriation Of the Japanese In the
areas where the Marines were sta
toned had been completed.
When this was pointed out to
the Navy, another reason was
vouchsafed: The Marines are In
North China ito keep communica-
tons open." A further attempted
justification was that II the Marines
moved out Of North China the Rus
slams would move in.
Would People Sanction Policy?
Now it might be that the people
Of the United States, IL they were
informed on the subject as they are
entitled to be, would want to keep
