BUCABOO

Millions of words have been printed
and blared over the air about Communists,
but we are yet to hear an exact definition
of Communism.
In England, for instance, the govern
ment is taking over coed many private
enterprises, including the Bank of Eng
land, and is preparing to take over others,
including the coal mines and the steel
mills, but Labor party leaders resent any
reference to them as Communists, or of
having cOmmunistic leaaings.
Yet many things that have been done
in England, since the Labor government
has been in power. has been done in Rus
STA, which proudly adhers to its Commun-
ism.
Admittedly an Enghshman's liberty is
not ground under heel as is the se-called
liberty under which a Russian lives, but
if the British Labor government continues
before it's totaltarianism will be almost as
pronounced as it is in Russia.
We have heard discussions in Key
West about Communism and Socialism,
and always one grooved into the other,
but Socialists are loud in their denuncia-
ton of Communists.
For that matter, he is wise man in
deed who can tell the difference between
the Democratic and Republican parties
other than in minor degrees. Some
times it is said that the Republicans
are more servative than the
Den ocrats, viewed as liberals, then
or representative who makes a speech that
is ultra-conservative. No man has ever
been more conservative than Carter Glass
was during his long service in Washing
ton.
While Communism is detested by
Americans generally. yet we must admit
that it has come to be something of a
bugaboo.

FOLLOW THE TRUTH

If the spirit of Christmas prevailed,
not just for few days in December, but
throughout the year, this undoubtedly
would be better world in which to live.
Most of us all too soon forget the noble
sentiments which inspire us as the holiday
approached. We become involved in rou-
tine matters and postpone carrying out
some of the fine ideas we had at Christ
mas time.
Some of us may even have neglected
answering certain important letter
which reminds us of an important work
which is being done in our community
work we believe in and want to see con-
tnued.
But this work cannot be continued un-
less we remember to answer that letter.
For this particular letter enclosed sheets
of Christmas Seals. We wanted those
seals We look forward to receiving them
each year because Christmas Seals have
become symbol of the fight being waged
here against tuberculosis. We believe in
that fight. We want to participate in it
for our own protection and for the protec-
ton of our families.
Sometimes, however, we overlook the
fact that funds are needed for the cam
paign against tuberculosis and that our
tuberculosis association depends solely
upon our generous purchase of Christmas
sSeals to support it's tuberculosis control
work.
Sometimes we forget to answer that
Christmas Seal letter. But it isn't too late.
Let's keep the spirit of Christmas alive.
Let's follow through by answering that
letter.

THE COMMON COLD

= This is the time of year when the peo-
sple of Key West, along with others, suf-,
fer from the socalled common cold. Gen.
orally, it is neglected, but physicians ad-
: wise that one be. careful when suffering
from this almost every-month ailment
9 During the school year there is also a
: spread of diseases among children, such
sas measles. Many of these begin with
3 symptoms comparable to those of cold,
d. and for that reason parents should be on
guard against such troubles and realize
: that medicines effective against colds are
: of little value in treating them.
Well-informed people know that
: scientists have been unable to find the
- cause of colds, or to devise proper treat
= ment that is anywhere near perfect in re-
salts. Not so, however, with many medi-
cines on the market They proclaim their
: powers, and while many of them are
a. beneficial in treating some of the symp-
toms, none of them. as far as we know,
remove the underlying causes.

PERSPECTIVE

Let's keep a perspective on the scan
dalous revelations in connection with Maj.
Gen. Meyers, of the Army Air Force.
The Air Force built up from $4,000
men at the time of Pearl Harbor to g
100000 when the war ended. From
spending millions of dollars leisurely the
organization had to spend billions of dollars
in hurry.
If the great job was done with only
one scandal the fact is remarkable. Even
the discovery of few more cases of the
same nature cannot mar the gallant rec
ord of the Air Force nor dim the lustre of
the men who won control of the air in Eu-
rope and contributed greatly to the over
whelming defeat of Japan.

RUSSIA FIGHTS INITIATION

. Confirmation of rumors that the
economy of the Soviet Union has suffered
seriously from initiation comes with the
= decree for currency reform and providing
. for new rubles, which will be worth. Of
ficially, ten of the rubles retired
1t seems that the Soviet government
has determined to abolish rationing but to
, put food and industrial goods and con-
: sumner goods under unified price control.
!. A popularity of the program is that
: savings deposits up to 5000 rubles will be
81 exchanged ruble for ruble However, one
having cash in hand will be given only
: one of the new rubles for ten of the old
The loans of the government will be

- Ire Soviet government says the action
Is aimed at spectators who have accumu-
lated great amounts of money and asserts
that it would be intolerable for specula-
tors, who enriched themselves during the
,. war and accumulated considerable sums.
- to have an opportunity to buy up goods
after the end of the rationing system.

'NiemoeIIer Finds War Gave
Christianity New Brotherhood

Pastor Martin Niemoeller, symbol
of German Protestant resistance to
Hitler, last night told nearly $500
persons in Constitution Hall that
the war had brought a new spirit Of
brotherhood to Christians.
Pastor Niemoeller, a leader of the
German Evangelical Church, who
survived eight years in NaZi con-
centration camps, became con-
troversial figure when he pleaded for
a universal Christianity on the one
hand and criticized the hanging Of
Nazi war criminals on the other.
Speaking with marked accent,
the wizened German clergyman told
how Hitler tried to do away with
Christianity because it was 'irrecon-
cilable with National Socialism" He
used his own experiences and those
of fellow clergymen to personalize
the hour-long story.
Even after Hitler had Jailed its
pastors and the laymen who filled
their vacant pulpits, the Rev. Mr..
Niemoeller related, he failed to sub
jugate the church because he for
got that Jesus was the son of the
living God, that the real church was
everywhere where people confessed
Jesus and couldn't be destroyed"
1.-THE totalitarianism of Christ
prevailed over Hitler" he said.
Pastor Niemoeller made no ref
erence to his younger years, when
he was a submarine commander in
World War I. He confined his re-
marks to the lessons of World Wal
II, which, he declared, taught the
