HO0vER's SUGGESTION


Herbert Hoover, former President of
the United States, says that Russia is OBJ
strncting Noudl economic recovery and
suggests that the United States negotiate
a peace treRtys With Japan and let as many
nations as wish adhere, "a ~
In regard to Europe, the former Presi-
dent suggests that if the Foreign Ministers
fail to reach agreement next fall, the
United States and Great Britain should
conclude settlement with their merged
zones in Germany.
There is considerable logic behind the
suggestions Of Mr.. Hoover. He believes
that the Russians continue their tactics to
delay peace-making in order to bleed
white the United States by relief measures.
He does not think that this country should
wait any longer and is quite certain that
Russia will not make war about it,

WORTHY PROJECT

The best way, outside of the home, to
curb juvenile delinquency, is to provide
wholesome recreation for boys and girls.
And that is just what PAL in Key West is
doing. Its latest success, in adding to re-
creation facilities, is the use of swimming
pool in the Navy Yard.
Youthful excess energy must find an
outlet, and, if it is used up. in play, parti-
eplarly supervised play with every con-
venience, boys and girls are not likely to
commit unlawful acts.
} But the home, as experts in juvenile
delinquency maintain, is the chief place
for the right upbri9ging Of children. AS
one expert said recently in The Citizen,
when he was asked where the blame
should he placed primarily for widespread
juvenile delinquency, he unhesitatingly
answered, ION parents. A
Yet PAL recreation will help children
even when the home environment is not
what it should be. Consider boy, bub-
bling over with energy, whose home life
IS filled with threats and chickering's that
keep his nerves on edge, if he is given
the privilege of participating in PAL ac-
Invites, undoubtedly, in most cases, any
inclination he might have to be delinquent
will be curbed.
Even men, who are out aOf work, fire.
quently declare they do not know what to
do with themselves. Time is tyrant if we
have no interest to divert our minds. As
that is so of adults, who are able to keep
themselves in check because of mature
reasoning, how much more so it is with
children, who want to do something to
interest themselves, and have nothing to
do?
PAL in Key West should be accorded
every encouragement, including contribu-
tons, to help in providing recreation for
the youth of this community. It is a worthy
project.

Dr. Raymond II. Allen. recently inaug-
.sased n President Of the University of
Washington. says that the world ''is :ndi-
visible hy race. creed, color, nationality,
continents. islands. the ocean, seas, or the
air. fr- etfH
This h q broad generalization with
whish most If us can agree In regard to
certain fundamental rights Of man. Despite
shs efforts of learned men to assert that
people af the world are divided In their
opportunities and that this division is
caused almost solely by the unequal dis
tsshulion of wealth.
n Il somewhat strange that the discus
ssans relating to the brotherhood of man
aud the oneness Of the world do not take
~. account the obvious disparity in the
standards Ut living available to various
peoples.
u the brotherhood idea and the one
ness ideal mean anything to the less for
tanate peoples of the earth, it must mean
that the more fortunate ones will dis
lfibute some of their economic surplus
and make II possible for all people to en-
Joy life on something of an equal basis,
Because the United States possesses a
tremendous share of the worlds material
resources. Il Is the obvious nation to begin
the redistribution of wealth. There is no
evidence to indicate that the people of the
United States have any such intention. The
talk of brotherhood. of one world and
Of equality does not get into the pocket
book.
We would not have the readers of The
Citizen TO think for an instant that we
swallow all the bunk that is now being
circulated about equality, brotherhood
aud one world. In fact, we doubt if those
who talk so glibly about an ideal state of
affairs are ready to take the practical
steps necessary to bring about the stua-
tions they praise.
We have no idea that the people of
any country, including the United States
are Yet ready to distribute resources and
economic opportunity. on the basis of COM
piese equality throughout the world

awful stomach gas pains, daily

ANCIENT GRAVES

From India comes the news that an
archeologist has excavated graves dating
back to 800 Be. and that the discovery
establishes unrecorded links in the ancient
civilizations Of Europe, North Africa and
Western Asia
This is an interesting dispatch to
those who often wonder about the past of
the human race. AS much as man has
learned, he still knows very little about
his origin and early growth.
There is a general assumption, of
course that civilization somewhere in the
eastern hemisphere but nobody knows as
a matter Of fact, what early civilizations
existed in the western hemisphere. In fact,
the people of this region have been some
what amiss in their effort to learn the
story that can be found in ruins that have
already been discovered.
