C. A. Van Deursen said that
he saw the railroad strike COM
ing on to and promptly 'tanked
up" too. Right now he has about
a weeks supply of fuel oil with
$4,000 gallons in tanks of the
City Electric System. ''We use
about 5000 gallons day so that
is just one weeks supply, Mr..
Van Deursen said. However,
there are other storage tanks in
the city where diesel oil may be
obtained and it is understood
that there is about 1900 barrels
of diesel oil at one local source
which can be drawn on This is
a six weeks supply since there
are AZ gallons to each barrel.
"If the strike goes beyond
that time we will try TO get a
tanker in directly from Aruba
with possibly the Navy CO.
operating. Mr.. Van Deursen
said.
Navy officials were busy queS-
tioning supplyers here for utili-
ties and also checking up on
their food stocks at Navy Bases
here. All leaves except emer-
gency leaves and those which
could be granted with local trans
portation facilities were can

Hollon Bervaldi, postmaster in
Key West, said that all letters up
to one-pound in weight will be

Slot Machines,
Seyen----Negat

Seven slot machines, seized in
raids, were demolished at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon in
the courthouse yard, under the
direction of Sheriff Berlin A.
Sawyer.
Money in the machines, con-
sisting of quarters, dimes and
nickles, was turned over to
County Clerk Ross E. Sawyer.
The amount has not been deter
mined, but estimates vary from
5000 to $500.
Clerk Sawyer said the four
boxes containing the coins will
be taken to the Florida National
Bank at Key West to be wrapped
and counted, and then it will be
deposited to the account of the
fine and forfeiture fund.
Four of the machines had been
confiscated at Weaver's Camp
at Stock Island, and three at
Eddie's Bait Basket at Pirates
Cove.
Three other slot machines are
in a vault in Clerk Sawyer's
office. They had been seized by
the State Beverage Department
representatives, and no decision
has yet been reached for their
destruction. The beverage depart
ment has communicated with
County Solicitor Allan B. Cleare,
Jr. about the machines, with a
view to determining what to do
with them.

Enemies of Free Society
ondon Daily Express.

From the London Daily EXPRESS.
The struggle will go on for the freedom
of minorities whether they be small
traders or trade unionists The cartel
nongers among the employers as we'll as
among the tycoons of the trade union
movement will be opposed. Both are the
enemies Of free society. The freedom
of minorities in trade as in work is the
touchstone of freedom. Here is prin-
ciple. Majorities need no protection.
Minorities people with whom the
majority at the moment do not agree
must be cherished. For in them lies the
chance of progress. They must not be
sacrificed in the name of efficiency" or
"tidiness" or planning" There are just
as many monopolists among the employ
ers as there are among the trade union
leaders. Too many on both sides are
getting too close together. They are
creating between them common vested
interest. And their plans too often
dovetail for the destruction of individual
liberty, by which Britain stands or falls.

ChiIe's New Deal

In colorful ceremony attended
by many foreign delegations and
followed by a brilliant parade in
cluding Argentine troops and United
States Marines landed from our
visiting squadron, Gabriel Gonzalez
Videla has been inaugurated for
six-year term as President of the
Republic of Chile.
Thus ends peacefully political
crisis precipitated last September,
when the elections for the presi-
dency resulted in a slight plurality
for Senor Videla in four -cornered
contest, necessitating subsequent
choice by a special session of Con-
gress. Videla was backed by coali-
ton of left=wing elements, sparked
by the local Communist Party al
though Videla himself is not Com
munist., The Socialists ran their own
candidate, who did badly. The Con-
servatives and moderate Liberals
had been unable to agree on coali-
ton candidate and thus split their
strength, which, If united, would
have insured success.
President Videla was thereby
elected by minority of the elec-
torate on a platform which included
a radical program of economic and
social legislation, together with
promise of close relations with Soviet
Russia. He has announced the as
signment of three posts in his cab

Party-the first time that has hap

Southwest Africu

Premier Smuts' plea before the
General Assembly for the annexa-
ton of Southwest Africa to the
Union of South Africa emphasizes
the complex problem Of mandates
and trusteeships with which the
United States is directly concerned
through our interest in the Pacific
islands conquered from Japan.
In some ways, Southwest Africa is
an exceptional case, recognized as
such when the Versailles Conference
assigned this former German colony
to the Union of South Africa under
a "class C" mandate from the
League of Nations. This special
category permitted its administra-
ton under the laws of the manda-
tory nation as integral portions of
it's territory" This was because
Southwest Africa is not only geo.
graphically adjacent to the Union
but also because its economy and
general status are organically con-
nected with and naturally part Of
the mandatory power. Under Union
rule for more than thirty years,
this vast block of territory has been
so closely integrated with the Union
as logically to justify Premier SHUTS
assertion that its incorporation with
the Union is as "inevitable" as was
the union of Texas and Louisiana
with the United States or that of
Eastern Siberia with Russia.
That last historical reference was
a thrust at Soviet opposition to
Smuts' proposal. Smuts' plea was
coupled with charge from Ivor
Thomas, British representative on
the Trusteeship Committee of the
Assembly, that Soviet Russia is de-
laying the establishment of the
Trusteeship Council designed to
handle both the mandates of the
extinct League of Nations and the
disposal of Italy's colonies, together
with certain Japanese islands not
included in Tokyo's Pacific League
mandate.

On the Record
By Dorothy Thompson

The enormous advantage of the two
party systematic only natural and ra-
tionaI system for free democracies-is
that it provides for the expression OF the
democratic instinct, which always swings
between the two poles Of conservation
and revision, by a process which. on
balance, results in movement and equi-
librium.
The turbulent history of continental
European republics. except those of very
small homogeneous countries, is due in
large measure to such innovations as
numerous parties and proportional rep
resentation, leading to continual ma
neuvers and coalition devices of intellec-
tuals without political sense. These
make it impossible for either Of the two
basic constant tendencies of politics to
live out normal life span. Such ma
neuvers nearly always end in monar-
chial restorations or popular despotisms.
Prof. A. N. Whitehead, one of our
greatest social philosophers, thus ana
lyZed these constants:
THE art of free society consists first
in the maintenance of the symbolic
code" forms, traditions) "and, Sec
ondly, in fearlessness of revision to
secure that the code serves those pur-
poses which satisfy an enlightened
reason"
From this premise. my ever-curious
friend Alexander Sachs. amplifying such
studies of political cycles as have been
made, for instance by Prof. Arthur
Schlesinger. and attempting to chart
the rhythm of American political life.
was able to demonstrate that in the
United States and Great Britain-here
in somewhat shorter period-epochs
of corservationism or conservatism and
of revisionism or reform, alternate with
each other, each occupying. roughly
speaking, half a generation. This is SO
even though parties and personalities
may change The trend holds, seldom
less than IL, and seldom more than
Is or 16 years.
Mr.. Sachs believes this corresponds
to the rhythm of the voters own de-
velopment. In the generation of his
political activity-between 81 and 65-
he himself almost always undergoes one
strong change of outlook in reaction
to whatever is.
Unlike w. S. Gilbert's jingle from
Iolanthe:
Every little boy or girl
Who's born into this world alive
Is either little liberal
Or else little conservative"

This Changing World
By Constantine Brown

Reports received from Europe in the
last "a hours indicate that there Is a
good deal of confusion, wonder, hope
and disappointment over the results OF
the elections in the, United States.
In countries where totalitarianisnl.
even in the milder form, is distastefnl,
the election of Republican Congress
is taken as an indication that Western
Europe may reconstruct itself politically
and economically along the preWar lines
of free enterprise with governments rep
resenting the majority OF the people.
Strongly organized political groups.
which are attempting to use the postwar
chaos and poverty to build an entirely
new economic and social system pat
termed after the Russians, consider the
result of the American election as
severe blow to their plans. Rightists,
middle-o f-the-roaders and leftists receg-
nize that the main hope for the worlds
rehabilitation lies in the assistance of
the United States. Those who oppose
economic and political regimentation
hope that the election in this country
of liberal Congress, in the strict mean
ing of the word, will give them fight
ing chance against the drive of the

The countries of Europe outside and
inside the iron curtain have been re-
markably misinformed about the trends
and temper of the American people
after the end of the war. The majority
of the foreign diplomatic missions in
Washington were reporting to their re-
spective governments that the leftist
trends in this country had become so
strongly entrenched, particularly among
the returning soldiers, that the present
administration was safe for at least an
other two years.
In Europe itself the powerful Moscow
propaganda violently denounced the re-
actionism of the Republican Party. 1t
spread the impression that If the elec-
tion were won by the ''reactionary ele-
ments" In which the Republicans and
some sections of the Democratic Party
we're included, Europe would face un-
told hardships. The new Congress, ac-
cording to the description of the Rus
slams and their followers, would become
extremely isolationist. both politically
and economically According to these
