COMMENTS ABOUT UNKNOWN
QUANTITIES

Naturally there has been a keen in
terest in the agreements by Foreign Secre-
taries of the United States, Russia and Brit
ain at the Moscow Conference Who is
going to own what-or lead nations around
on a string?
A Commission of eleven; nations, with
a council of four nations will establish fix
ed policy and rule over Japan. According
to our best recollection the United States
with the aid of the atmoic bomb brought
Japan to its knees-but the different ma
tiOnS must cOnnect-to help to keep the
peace.
The situation in Italy, Rumana, Bull
garia, Hungary, Finland and elsewhere
seems to be in the patchwork stage and
new treaties are Strengthening them out
We used to hear about Persia, but that
big spot in the world has been covered up
under the name of Iran. There is lot of
political speculation about what is going to
happen in Iran, inasmuch as the. oil beneath
the surface in that part of the world is
being sought by number of nations, in
Guiding our own. For, be it known, Amer
lean oil interests have long had their eyes
peeled on Iran. Stain says that Russia is
not seking to dominate Iran.
Korea is promised a new form of
provisional government with assurances
that it will become an independent nation
China is scheduled to have unified dem
ocratic government" There may be sin
gle independent government, but you have
got to stretch your imagination a good deal
to believe that it will ever be democratic.
''Of course" the atomic bomb will be
controlled by all the big nations and the
news from Moscow is that it will be elm
mated from world arsenals. Your guess is
as good as anybody's.

WORLD ORGANIZATION INTO
WORLD GOVERNMENT

The supporters of International coop
a,a4ion seem to be divided into two groups
* = result Of the development of the atomic
bonb Alarmed by the inadequacles OF the
San Francisco Charter to meet the haro
facts of international life in the atomic age
one group, holding that only world GOV
eminent can deal with the situation, would
discard the United Nations Organization
and build an entirely new structure. Inc
other group. stressing the obvious value OF
the presently constituted United Nations
Organization and feeling no compelling
urge for immediate action, seek lelsurely
to strengthen it.
However. there is a growing pubic
Opinion calling for immediate steps Leading
I'd the ultimate development OF the Unlted
Nations Organization into World Gov
eminent in which the individual nations
would retain maximum autonomy In IN
ternal affairs but would delegate to the
World Government as much sovereignty
as necessary for the maintenance of inter-
national security. This proposal would
mean building. on the foundation of the
United Nations Organization a super-struc-
tdre which would strengthen it and elm
mate its inadequaces in the light of the
new developments.
Much may be learned from the devel-
opment of the Constitution of the United
States. 1t originally consisted of pre-
amble and six articles in which form it was
adopted in 1887. 1t soon became manifest
that it was less than perfect organism and
did not adequately promote the self-evi-
dent truths proclaimed in the Declaration
of Independence. 1t was, therefore, de-
cided to adopt a series of amendments to
the Constitution to safeguard explicit in
dividual and state rights and these came
into force in 1871 in the form of the Bill
of Rights.
- Similarly, there is no reason why the
Charter of the United Nations Organiza-
ten should be scrapped despite its mani
fest INACCURACIES but there is every reason
why it should be strengthened by amend
nlents so that United States of the World
mag be created, the surest means of main
tgining peace.

DON'T BREATHE A WORD

To have heard what some of the state
officials said about the S100,000,000 bal
ance Florida has in the treasury, one would
have thought that they picked the money
off trees, not out the pockets of taxpayers,
in one form or another.
While proudly talking about the huge
balance, not word was said about the re-
duction of taxes, nothing about the seven
cents that the owner of an automobile must
pay the state every time he buys gallon
of gasoline; nothing about the four cents
he must give the state every time he buys
package of cigarettes; nothing about
recommending to the counties that they try
to reduce their taxatiOns nothing, not
single word about any relief in sight for
the taxpayer, staggering under the burden
of federal, state, county and city taxation.
When will the limit be reached before
any disposition is shown by the taxgatherers
to tighten the burden of taxation in the
state of Florida?
The Citizen recalls again that, up to
about 5 years ago, Colonel Peter O. Knight
of Tampa used to cite, as the outstanding
incentive for people to come to this state,
the lowness of taxes, with no personal,
documentary or intangible taxes. But those
days are gone, apparently forever. Not
only are personal and intangible taxes paid,
but, since they were adopted, the state,
year after year, has been digging into every
Mich and corner to see if it could find other
things to tax.
While we do not drink intoxicants and,
therefore, pay nothing in taxes on them,
vet the collection of those taxes was the
subject, one day last week in Tampa, of q
glowing statement made by the director of
the state beverage department, the man
who said on a recent visit to Key West,
that gambling was more wide-open here
than in any other city in the state, though
he toned down his remark when he was
asked about Miami and Tampa, particu-
larly the Ybor City part of Tampa, where
one may buy or could have bought, bOlita
tickets in grocery stores.
This man declared with becoming
pride, that the state had collected $16,000,-
600 in beverage taxes during the last six
months of 1945.
He reflected the tendency that has
long since been in effect in Tallahassee:
collect, collect, collect make the taxpayer
pay, pay, pay; keep the tax trend upward;
don't breath word about decreasing taxes
of any kind.

PAY THAT WHICH THOU
VOWEST

Be not rash with thy mouth,
and let not thine heart be hasty
to utter any thing before God: for
God is in heaven, and thou upon
earth: therefore let thy words be
few. For a dream cometh through
the multitude of business; and a
fools voice is known by multi
tude of words.
When thou vOWest a vow unto
God, defer not to pay it; for he
hath no pleasure in fools: pay
that which thou vowest. Better
is it that thou ShouldeSt not VOW,
than that thou shouldest VOW and
pay not.
Suffer not thy mouth to cause
thy flesh to sin; neither say thou
before the angel, that it was an
error: wherefore should God be
angry at thy voice, and destroy
the work of thine hands? For in
the multitude of dreams and many
words there are also divers vani-
ties: but fear thou God.

model with a wide rhinestone
belt. Frank and Steinway were in

Jerry flung open the door of the
little closet when Julia pressed
the release. 'Where'd you find it,
Julie?"
She pointed out the hinge where
the threads had been caught.

admitted There is quite an ex-

rug doesn't cover"
