Scaled to Incomes.
Family allowances are graduated
according to family income. The
ceiling is $2,500. depending on the
number and age of the children.
The principle is the same as the
United States income tax deduc-
ton for dependent children. Cana
dians say 1t is more democratic be-
cause it also serves the very poor
who pay no tax at all.
An important asset is that the
system insures more education for
Canadian children. Allowances are
made only for children kept in
school until Is. The war and con-
scription revealed here, as at home,
that universal free education has
been neither as free nor as univer-
sal as we like to think. A humili-
ating number had to be rejected for
military service because of lack of
education, a demonstration that
helped produce the present system
for immediate postwar application.

for all that goes to make great
fighting machine. 1t Is not diff
ferent from the urge Of the Navy,
now superior in strength to the
combined navies Of the rest of the
world, to be stronger still. If you
listen to thoroughly convinced
Navy man, right now we couldn't
lick a fleet Of Eskimo kayaks. And
the ground forces are in the same
desperate condition, according to
the Army.
How do our military minds get
this way? First, through their con-
slant effort toward perfection. They
want to be prepared today, tomor-
row, two or flve years from now, to
defend the United States against
any other power in the world or any
possible combination Of powers. A
worthy objective. Second, through
the sincere belief Of many of them
that one day soon we may have to
fight Russia and the equally sincere
belief of q lesser number that we
ought to tight Russia whether we
have to or not.
Behavior Is Logical.
Given their premise and their
duty to the country, they are be-
having logically. 1t doesn't follow
that they have the answer to the
grave problem confronting the
country.
War with Russia might or might
not be decisive. Atomic bombs might
lay Russia waste in q way the Ger
man could not and wipe out enough
millions of the Russian people to
render them helpless as nation.

the victors? With millions of our

science and a world shattered, this
time perhaps beyond repair. We
would have our one world, but not a
world pleasant to contemplate. The
only world less pleasant to con-
template would be one in which,
some of our calculations having
gone wrong, we we're the losers, not
the winners of that war.
If the military men haven't found
the answer, who has then? Nobody

This Changing World +
Future of United Nations May Depend
On Success of Inter. American Parley

U. N. is inevitable in the United
Nations Assembly September Is.
The U. S. S. r. torpedoed all hopes
for a solution of the Greek question
when the Soviet delegate, Andrei A.
Gromyko, cast his 18th veto at the
Tuesday meeting of the Security
Council.
All further action by the powers
in the Council has to be abandoned
The Greek problem will be submit
ted to the Assembly soon after it
meets in New York next month
The United States will insist on
applying Article 81. which gives
members the right of individual OF
collective self-defense in the event
of armed attack, until the Security
Council has taken measures to re-
store peace.
What Article Means.
This article means simply that,
since the Security Council has "dis-
posed" OF the problem which 1t un-
dertook to solve last January when
it sent a border commission to
Greece, the Athens government can
take any measure it likes in self
defense and that all other nations
which may wish to do so are free
to assist the legitimate Greek gov
ernment. From the practical point
of view this also means that the
United States is permitted under the
charter to send troops to Greece
whenever it wishes to do so.
The Washington administration
is, of course, reluctant to act alone.
The question presented to the gov
ernments which want peace is how
far they must 60 in acting to pre-
vent further encroachments on the
territories of the free nations.
There Is a vague hope in the State
Department that if enough genuine
peace loving nations make a CON-
mon front and decide to act in ac-
cordance with Article 81, Russia may
be persuaded to halt the activities
OF her satellite troops on the Gre
clan borders.
This matter is said to be under
discussion at the present time at
Rio, where the consensus is that
since War-tired and strife-ridden
Europe cannot act any longer in
its own defense, 1t is UP to the
Western Hemisphere to step in
and help the rest Of Europe keep
its own peace.
OF course, no such action is pos
sible without the full cooperation
of the United States, which is still
regarded as the country with the
greatest war potential in the world.
It Is possible that united American
front might have salutary effect
on the men in the Kremlin.

in strengthening the'United Nations,
which is being torn asunder by the
disruptive activities of the Soviet
bloc.
The conversations in Brazil are
reported to be progressing satisfac-
torily. Argentina is no longer re-
garded as a black sheep by United
States representatives. There is no
longer that intolerant attitude to-
ward the powerful South American
republic which was 50 noticeable in
previous international conferences.
Atmosphere of Good Will.
Regardless OF any personal feelings
toward President Juan Peron, Ar
gentina now is considered as an i'm
portant factor in the concert of
American powers. The attitude in
Washington has resulted in general
atmosphere of reciprocal confidence
and goodwill among all the parti-
cipants of the Rio parley.
Hemisphere oe1enSe, as eStap-
lished in the Chapultepec agreement,
and other regional problems keep
the top place on the agenda OF the
actual conference. But behind the
scenes, in the private apartments of
the foreign ministers, there is good
deal Of talk about common action to
strengthen the u. N. and to save
world peace, even at the eleventh
hour.
The American continent is far
away from the Balkans and from
China. Yet in these private CONVEX
sations there is as much discussion
about threatening conditions in those
regions as there is about Western
Hemisphere problems.

American colleagues, who have q

Most British-made goods-the

which Americans have long crossed

at home, but are still in short sup
ply. The finest luxury items are
both high and scarce. Other i'm

to bolster the war-devastated countries
will involve great danger of economic
and social disintegration abroad which
would necessarily imperal both the eco

States.
We call attention to his utteranee he
cause Mr.. Clayton has been in Europe for
many months conducting negotiations in
connection with various trade agreements
by which many nations are working to un-
shackle world trade. The hope is that the
development of commerce on a liberal
basis throughout the worlds will tend to
ease tensions and enable all people to.
improve their standard of living.

NOT TIED UP"

Various types of rumors are making
the rounds in Key West about the city
election to be held next Tuesday.
One rumor is to the effect that Ger
tain candidate" has the Negro vote tied
up"
When we heard that rumor it remind
ed us of the outcome of several city cleo
tons in Key West when candidates We're
supposed to have the Negro vote tiled up"
and of other candidates whom the Negroes
were said to be "opposing solidly."
" None of these rumors turned out to be
true, and the one now about the "tied-up
Negro vote" also will prove to be false.
The Negroes, like other voters in the COM
munity, can not be herded, i'm sheep fash
ion, for any candidate. With some excep
tons, as is true generally, Negroes vote
according to the dictates of their own con-
sciences. If Negroes believe that candi-
date will promote the interests of the city,
on which they and all other residents are
dependent, they will vote for that candi-
date, and, conversely, if they believe that
a candidate is not qualified to be COM
missioner, they will cast their ballots
against him.
You don't have to go among Negro
leaders to learn the truth of that state
ment. Rank and file of the voters insist on
voting as they feel they should vote.
The Citizen knows of an incident that
happened recently that put the four MEM
bers of a Negro committee in a false light.
Those Negroes called at The Citizen office
and requested that the people Of Key
West be informed differently.
