WHITTIER?

The Citizen spoke a few
days ago about propaganda
and counter propaganda in
Key West, depending on
which faction a politico is
supporting. One side accuses
the other side of this and
that, and neither side con-
cedes anything that is stated
by the other side. In other
words, each can see only
what is happening on his
side of the fence.
That same condition, on
a far vaster scale, has been
going on ever since World
War III was over between
Russia and the United
States. We complain about
the false accusations made
by Russians against our
country and give not a pass
ing thought to the propa-
ganda against Russia that
has been blared day in and
day out in the United States.
One can not pick up a
newspaper nowadays or lis
ten to the radio without
hearing some charge made
against the Russians. Ameri-
can writer's, who are famil-
lar, or think they are famil-
lar, with conditions in Rus
STA, are reaping a harvest of
newspaper and magazine
checks for their articles
about Russia.
You read one article and
think you have acquired
pretty good idea about the
Russian attitude toward this
country, and then you read
another article that treats
of the subject in an entirely
different manner. The rea-
son for the discrepancies is
not hard to find: both writ
ers are propagandizing.
Madame Sun Vat Sen,
widow of the first president
of the Chinese republic, de-
clared, a week ago, that re-
dictionaries in China and this
country were trying to bring
about a war between Rus.
STA and the United States.
Whether or not she was
right, we may be sure that
there is altogether too much
propaganda here against
Russia and too much propa-
ganda in that country
against this country.
Whittier will this propa-
gandizing lead?

COST RECORDS ON SHIPS

While we are of the opln-
ion that the construction of
ships in this country, during
the war, should be thorough
ly investigated, we take the
opportunity to correct an
impression enron eous Y
created by earlier press re-
ports.
w. L. Slattery, construc-
ton finance director, was
quoted as saying that the
Maritime Commission had
lost its records in regard to
the construction of more
than $90O,000,000 worth of
ships and that purchases
could not be allocated. How
ever, he makes it plain that
he was referring to book
keeping records and that
resident auditors, in the var
ious shipyards, had control
of their records and that the
cost of the ships built will
be shown in a forthcoming
report.
In connection with the
charges of waste and ex-
trayagance" that arise in
connection with the tremen-
dous production of war ma
terial, one should remember
that the urgent need for
haste justified expenditures
that, in normal times, would
have been absurd. After all,
the nation was trying to
build ships faster than they
were being sunk" and costs
We're, of necessity, of sec
ondary Importance.

ANOTHER ATOMIC
EXPLOSION

The second atomic bomb
has been exploded under
the waters of the Pacific
and the reports of destruc-
ton are coming in, with the
experts again varying in
their Interpretation of the
experiment.
We have no doubt, what
ever, of the tremendous de-
structive power of the bomb
used against the Japanese
and tested at Bikini but that
there is no defense against
the weapon seems improb-
able. Neither does it appear
clearly that warfare has
been revolutionized,
While we are anxious for
the experts who control our
defense policies to keep
abreast of scientific deve-
lopments and make use of
every new weapon that
tends to increase the mill
tary power of the United
States, we are just as an
xious for them to keep their
feet on the ground, without
becoming too enthusiastic
about a new weapon until it
has thoroughly established
itself.

The Philippines have been
given their freedom and are
a free people, but there are
a few strings tied to that
condition and may be for the
best interests of the Filipino.
One of these conditions,
created under the Philip
pines independence Act of
1884, is that the president
of the Philippines makes
an annual report to the
president of the United

REMINDER FOR
HOUSEWIVES

The Florida State Board
of Health has reminded
housewives that they should
be careful to keep garbage
covered until it is gathered
for disposal. The Board
points out that uncovered
garbage draws flies which
may carry typhoid fever
germs and possibly polio.
Key West housewives, for
the most part, are careful
TO keep their garbage COW
cred, but unhappily there
are a few throughout the
city who neglect this impor-
tant duty.
Even one uncovered gar
bage can and the disease it
may cause is enough to be
the source of a widespread
epidemic. One uncovered
can is enough to offset all
the good that is accomplish
ed by a thousand ones that
are covered.
We urge every housewife
in the city to give heed to
the warning of the State
Board of Health and to take
special care in seeing that
their garbage cans are well
covered at all times.

Your Horoscope

TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1886
The child of today will be pre-
cocious and rather rash but there
are later indications of a firAl,
steadfast character. There is a
determination to hold to ones
own beliefs and principles, which
should not be too rigidly forced
upon others, for it is liable to
bring opposition and trouble.
Train this child along such lines
that the foundation may be toler-
ant as we'll as firm.

We caught Hank Borowy on the

queried.
Gwen need all the pitching we
can get this season." the Cub star
said. "By that I mean most Of the
other clubs will be stronger where
we will have about the same cast.
We got little back from the service.
The Cardinals, Giants and Dodgers
will all be stronger. So will the
Pirates, Braves and Phillies.
"We'n be pitching to better hit
ting strength all along the line, while
at the plate we face improved pitch
ing also. That means tough going.
A flock of dangerous hitters have
been added to the league since last
fall.
Hitting in the two leagues? I
can't see much difference. had
better record in the National than
! had in the American. But my arm
was in much better shape when !
joined the Cubs"
asked Borewy how the National
league race looked from his angle.
"The Cardinals are the team to
beat" he said, with so much
strength at every point. But they
can be beaten. I'm sure we'll be up
there. The Giants have all the pow
er any team needs at bat, but
their pitching is still uncertain.
What pitcher can Mel OFT depend on
for as many as IS games?
"The Dodgers will be better and
they were tough enough at times
last season. The Pirates win be inn

Boyhood's Greatest Thrill

Buffalo Bill was born 100 years
ago. We feel sorry for kids to
whom he is a remote figure. What
a thriller the Buffalo Bill Wild West
and Congress of Rough Riders was
to the small fry of yesterday It
came every year back home, and
one of our earliest memories is see
ing Buffalo Bill in the flesh, riding
down Whalley avenue in an open
buggy, at the head of the ynjuns,
cowboys and buffalo hunters. The
show was held in Westville, just
back Of the Nick Hubinger mansion.
Once, lacking money to get in, we
climbed a tree to see the show and
we almost imagine we got riddled
by stray bullets in the hold-up Of
the Deadwood stage.
