FOR DEM CRATlC
PROCESSES :

In connection with the
program to extend Ameri-
can assistance to Greece, one
constantly is reminded of the
fact that a king is ON the
throne in Athens and there
are charges that the govern
ment of Greece is reaction
AIRY.
While we would prefer to
have a Republican form OF
government in Greece, the
type of government in exist
ence is not really the issue.
The plight of Greece arises
from the.pressure of organ
lied bands, which, accord
ing to reports, receive sus-
tenance, strength and sup
port from other powers.
Facing such a threat, the
cause of Greek indepen-
dence depends upon the
ability of the existing gov
eminent, whatever it might
be, to put down disorder.
Until this is done, there is
no probability whatever of
law and order which are ne
cessary to a use of democrat
tic functions.

Man has survived because
Of his determination to carry
ON. He has waged a constant
fight with Nature since his
appearance on Earth half a
million or a million years
ago, with the guess left to
you to give a longer or short
ei time. But, regardless of
the time, the fight to exist
has been persistent. And
man has wOn.
You never can tell where
Nature will strike. Many
years ago Miamians were
wont to refer to Key West
as 1.-The hurricane city, but
that reference was silenced
by the terrific hurricane shat
struck Miami in 1926. Mi
ami has been hit other,times
since then, but though we
have had several near-hurri-
canes during the same time,
the last one to lash Key
West in all it's fury was in
These thoughts came to
mind by reading about the
havoc caused by the tornado
i'm Woodward, Oklahoma,
and four villages in Texas.
But did the death and de-
structiOn stop man from
carrying on? The answer
to that question came from
Woodward on Friday in a
story, published in The Citi-
en-, that said that plans al
ready were being made to re-
build. f.
Time and time again, lava
from Vesuvius has destroy
ed homes and orchards, and,
on several occasions, caused
great loss of life. Similar
disasters have occurred in
the vicinity of Mount Etna
in Sicily, but, as orchards
or farm lands were wiped
out, the people who; suryiv-
ed developed other orchards
and farms just beyond where
the flow of lava stopped.
Disasters strike all over
the world. Frankly, though,
we would rather be in an
area freQuented by hurri-
canes than in areas where
tornados or earthquakes are
likely to Oc~ir. We may
know as long as our days
when a hurricane is coming
our way, but the tornado
and the temblor strike sud-
denly.
But they can't beat man.
Knock him down today, and
he will be up tomorrow,
fighting doggedly to live.
