RACE FOR WAR

What the steel barons agreed to was not only a division of markets but arrangements for price-main- tenance. Quotas were set regarding the total production of each par ticipating company, with fines lev jed against the firm if it exceeded its quota
 However, here is the payoff. The Germans always exceeded their quotas, after which they politely paid their fines and then kept on speeding their output of ste~l in the race for war. Meanwhile, Am erican and British firms stayed within their quotas and kept down their war machines.
 In contrast with the Germans, American firms, when they ex- ceeGed their quotas, were contrite and apologet.c For instance, here is an item from the steel cartel minutes of April Is, 1889, which read:
 Tn regard to a recent shipment by the American group to Belgium, ie a home market, the American representative stated that he was taking this matter up with his group in order to avoid a recurrence"
 How the cartel worked is also il- lustrated by cable sent by Eugene Grace of Bethlehem Steel to Sir Charles Wright in London, dated Jan. l2, 1888, which read:
 Glad to have your message and talk with Elliot. feel sure there will be no question about perform ance of member companies Our only difficulty will come if at all from outside and uncontrolled in- terests. It will be our hope and ef- fort to protect prices and have schedules bringing all influence possible on uncontrolled interests You of course in like manner will insist upon performance in our pricing zone. Best wishes Grace"
 These agreements were renewed as late as December 1888, long after Hitler had seized Austria, and after the armed truce at Munich. They were even renewed in April 1889, just four months before the first shots were fired in Poland.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 10
HEART AND HOME


 Family life is seen as an increas- ingly important factor in the prob lems of the human race. Mothers will make a far greater contribu- tion than they know to the ulti- mate solutions of the worlds pres ent difficulties.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS New and seemingly unprecedent- ed business opportunities are fore told. The need of ready cash for apparent "sure-thing" investments will tempt many to dispose of their War and Victory Bonds, but wis dom dictates that they do so only after serious and prolonged delib- eration
 NATIONAL ISSUES U. s. agriculture will achieve a new record of production in most farm commodities this year. Labor saving machinery will greatly re- lieve the situation caused by in adequate supply of trained farm hands.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Spain will once more become the focal point of world interest with in a short time. Canada will furth- CT demonstrate it's friendly disposi- tion toward the United States.
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars A full year of interesting, satisfying and profitable activity. They should not let their confidence lead to wild speculation, however.
 Children born on this day will probably indulge in much dreaming throughout their lives, but they will have good minds and will be hon. est and dependable always.

MONDAY, TERTIARY II HEART AND HOME

A sharp clash between the pro- gressive and the conventional school advocates is indicated. The conventional school system puts great stress on discipline; the pro- gressive system puts as little em- phasis on discipline as possible. The former trains for living in the world as it is, the latter trains for pioneering a new kind of a world. Conflict between the two, now and when the present students are adults and on their own, is in- evitable.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Conditions are favorable for plan ming longtime projects, such as building developments, public works. New investments will bear watch ing through this period.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Several new veterans organiza- tions will disappear during the next eighteen months as the competi- tion of the old World War I groups increases. The American Legion, the largest, is in favor able position, but has lost some ground. It will continue to lead tke field.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 A change in U. s. foreign policy will win new friends for this coun- try at time when our prestige has suffered from many mistakes. Resig- nation of a high government off cial will probably make page one headlines within short time, a resignation that will affect our re- lations with our neighbors to the south
 Persons whose birthdate this is are promised by the stars: A year of highly satisfactory progress tow ard main objectives and several gratifying successes in minor en- terprises.
 Children born on this way will be exceptionally bright and have happy dispositions.

Three-Team Circuit For New
Winter-Spring Ball League
BY NEsToR cAsTANEDA

The first game of the twin bill
Sunday will have the Red Raid
ers battling it out once more with
the TrOjans. Raiders have drop
ped three straight games to the
Trojans, with Bubber Sweeting,
Trojan hurler, pitching all three
of them.
In the second game, the Red
Raiders will tangle with the Ma
chinists, who have gained more
strength with the signing of new
players. Dave Lynch will be,
most likely, the starting choice
of Manager Dutch Geehring
against the Raiders, who will
probably use Ken Meadows, for
.merly the star pitcher for the
American Legion. He is a. very
promising prospect of becoming
an ace hurler with the Raiders.
A huge crowd is expected to
turn out to see the beginning of
the new circuit in operation.

PEP

JAYCEE PEP
With the Jaycees picking up
the ball on the Golf Tournament
at present, would like to see
them revive their former Fishing
Tournament with certificates for
big fish which they have had
charge of in the past. Other i'm
portant projects which the club
has sponsored in the past have
been Hobby shows, which brings
out important collectors items
for the general public and a Boat
Race and Show in which out
board clubs come down from Mi
ami to put on shows. This Show
when held before the war result
ed in crowds of three thousand
seeing them.
HOUSING PROBLEM
Housing Committee at the
Navy Yard has been meeting reg
ularly and considering the pos
sibility of putting more housing
up in Key West. Completion of
the rs units at Rest Beach is ex-
pected this month. Originally l55
units were planned there and
probably there may be an in
crease along this line.
STORY ERROR
In our humorous story ribbing
Editor Sam Harris yesterday, this
column stated that Mr.. Jordan,
who was making electrical in
stallations on the new machine
StallationS on the new linotype
at The Citizen, "spat out a plug
of tobacco" MIR. Jordan stated
today that he does not chew to-
bacco. This column was misin-
formed on the matter. It was
the linotype erector, Mr.. Simp-
son, who "cheWs."
THE OLD BULL
Was talking last night to a
young up and coming business
man who is carrying a great load
of responsibility around and
who made the statement
that 1--WE hould all get
together in Key West. There is
too much pickering. There is too
much defeatism". On the face of
it this sounds like noble senti-i
ment but for those of you who
are a little deeper and more an
alytical it completely loses sight
of the present picture. There is
a Key West growing up now
which will be entirely different
from any before. One man told
me yesterday that in five years
from now Key West will be one
of the Atlantic's important coast
al ports and cited the marvellous
speedy, inexpensive ferries which
will operate to Havana. Thus
this young man who is imbued
with rah rah ideas fails to take
into consideration this growing
phase.

LITTLE BUSINESSMEN

LA LII -
The most amazing point in
Key West is just that one point!
There are elements in Key West,
new elements never seen before,
scores of little business men who
are springing up and each of
them mighty important in his
own thought and mighty import
ant in actuality. These little
men" will run the town l will
say right now. 1t is sort of rev.
olution, bloodless, which has
been going on for years. AS you
look around you in the world
you see it all over, it should not
be surprising in Key West. Thus
if you choke and stifle this new
blood and compress it into
modes of thought, actually more
defeatist than in the new blood,
you would do more harm to the
city than you could do in any
other field. But this choking
process is now rendered null and
void. A thousand little drops
will break the floodgates and
this is what is building up now.
NO BULL-AcTION
For instance I attended a dim
ner of the Key West Hotel Mems
Association. None of this defeat
ist talk you have been used to
hearing in the city about well
if we had this or if we had that!
Nope, they then pass the plan
few phases are considered and
then they don't all get mad and
Jump at each others throat.
Nope, the ythen pass the plan
and it is usually a hum dinger.
What if this group were COM
pressed into little mems minds,
the kind of minds which think
that we should call get together
