senior speakers in the Senate today
/ How about the new crop?
Although it's too early to tell
here are a few said to hold promise
of achieving oratorical prominence
as their service lengthens:
| Senator Fulbright of Arkansas
former House member-scholarly
and concise; earnest delivery and
fair voice. .
| Senator Raymond E. Baldwin OF
Connecticut-a former Governor
who speaks well and forcefully.
Senator Edward Martin of Penn
sylvania-former Governor, he has
sturdy, vigorous approach to, any
subject that impresses an audience,
Although freshman" he is one OF
the older members of the Senate and
has his style well developed.
| Senator Spessard Holland OF Flor
ida-competent new member who
talks in a style foreign to old-time
Southern oratory, but frequently just
as eloquent.
Senator Warren G. Magnuson of
Washington-fast developing into
the best orator from the West Coast
section.
| Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, jr., of

the New England vein.
| Senator John w. Bricker of Ohio

thing yet on the extemporaneous

LONDON.-John Bull used to be
a capitalist. A rugged individual. The
fellow who started the industrial
revolution. His home was his castle
and the world was his cricket pitch.
John Bull is changed now. There S
not much fat on his short frame. He
still speaks out in meeting but his
conversation is punctuated with
more question marks than exclama-
ton points. He is trying to say good
by to his old capitalistic system and
settle down in new era of planned
economy.
The -that-be tell him that
it is social democracy"
The powers that-used-to-be tell
him it is national suicide
All John Bull Is sure of is that
things are different. The change has
been a generation coming. 1t has
been helped along by two World
Wars, a depression and political
revolution.
If John Bull can be considered
every man" instead of that i'm
possible character known as aver
age man." this is something of a
before -and-after picture of him.
He is mainly interested in food,
clothes, shelter, security, pleasure
and, above all, peace.
In the old days, one part of the
nation was well fed and the other
was downright hungry. All the John
Bulls ate five meals day but what
a difference in menus.
Food Rationed; Prices Steep.
Now, everybody is on a food ra-
ton. 1t makes no difference who or
what a man is, he gets the same
basic ration. For the well-to-do the
amount is ridicnlously small by COM
parison with the old days For mil
lions in the working class it is more
and better food than they ever had
before.
BY present American standards
the food ration is low. In fact, the
allotted share per week is not
enough to provide even three-much
less five-meals day. But no one
prepared to pay needs to go hun
cry. A limited supply of poultry
all fresh fish, vegetables and occa-
sionally fruits, are "off the ration. u
Prices generally are pretty steep.
The government has fixed s.
shilling ($D maximum on the
standard three-course meal. Per-
sons willing to pay the price can
order side dishes and spend more.
But the government also operates
public restaurants that cater largely
to the poorer classes. In these a
full meal of wholesome food can be
purchased for IL tuppence ga
cents. There's very little variety.
COTIlGtl UCc1, NJ uSsCAo cpl OuGo, Poen-
toes and cabage can become pretty
distasteful in six years.
John Bull used to take lot of
pride in his clothes. They may not
always have been smartly styled,
but they were well made and he had
plenty of them.
Today nearly ever other man you
see on the street is wearing blue
or gray pinstripe suit of nondescript
cut. The others wear fantastic
combinations of well-worn relics.
Castles" Involved.
Every year John Bull gets little
book of coupons. Every article Of
wearing apparel except hats has
fixed coupon value. And the total
number of coupons available-it has
changed slightly since the war-still
Is not enough to provide complete

fairly effective panel system that
assures those who can't afford
private attention, adequate doctor
care and hospitalizatio Now they
are expanding this by nationalizing
the medical profession. Taxes will
pay the bills.
Education for the Masses.
Old-age pensioners are getting
more than they used to and will get
more in the future-if not in cash
at least in better homes.
John used to worry a lot about
educating his youngsters. If he was
poor, the kids quit school when they
were 10 or II and went to work.
Now, the school leaving age
or compulsory attendance age-haS
been lifted to IA and will go up to
Is this year. Education is coming
to the masses.
There are still the famous public
schools" which aren't public at all
but charge very heavy fees and pick
and chose their students. But If any
of these schools want government
aid-and most of them do because
even private schools never seem to
have enough funds-they must agree
to take certain number of students
who have been graduated from the
state-operated grammar and sec
ondary schools. The old class con-
sciousness is getting one of its worst
drubbings in this process.
John Bull always has liked good
time. He is great on sports, theaters.
music, holidays at the seaside and
tours on the continent.
The football games and dog races
are drawing their biggest crowds
ever at prices well within the reach
of the poorest laborer. But his
habit of laying off work to go to
the game has brought him under
much criticism.
Vacationists have their worries.
They have to make arrangements
In January If they want to go some
where for week in August. With
so little consumer goods on the
market the folks seem to have more
money to spend than ever, SO they
take trip. The resorts are unable
to handle the crowds.
The rich folks can't 60 gadding
about the world like they used to.
John Bull may have more shillings
in the bank than ever before, but
soemhow his Government seems to
be short of cash.
John can travel abroad If he
wants to, but he can take only IS
pounds $4,000 with him, What with
the black market on the continent
and all, it doesn't seem to buy
much of trip.
Well, the war is over, anyhow,
says John. Then asks: "Or is it?"
All this arguing he reads about
between the various powers. The
troubles his sons and brothers are
having in Palestine and Indonesia
and India. He'd rather hear the
end of 1t all.
In fact, John Bull figures he's
got one whale of job on his
hands right here at home making
this new era" work. A good long
spell of peace would sure help.
Not that John has changed his
old bulldog trait Of being ready to
meet trouble If 1t comes. He still
doesn't scare worth darn.
But this new planned economy is
keeping him busy at home and
he'd Just as soon not have lot
of other worries.

solve "to decline being considered
among the number of those out Of
which choice Is to be made"
Third-term defenders have made
frequent use of the following ex-
cerpt from q letter written by
Washington to La Fayette while the
American Government was being
established:
"I can see no propriety in pre-
Guiding ourselves from the services
of any man who in some great

Jefferson, who served two terms,
said he feared perpetual eligibility

office one for life first, and then
hereditary"
Andrew Jackson, in his first mes
sage to Congress, advised limiting
the service of the President to a
single term of four Or six years
Jackson acceded to demands of
followers that he run for second
term but made no attempt to get
third term. He stepped out OF
office just before the panic of 1887

The Democratic convention which
nominated Woodrow Wilson in 1912
adopted a platform favoring a sin

amendment to the Constitution
making the President ineligible for
reelection. Shortly after his first
election, President Wilson said
frankly he was opposed to limiting
the President to a single term.
He said such a measure would
"cut off the efficient as surely and
inexorably as the inefficient" and
that a President might not have
enough time in one term to carry
out a constructive program.

PROPERTY LURE

The Citizen recurrently
has spoken about potential
development on a large
scale of the chain of Florida
Keys between Key West and
the mainland. The keys
with K ey w e st at the
southwesterly tip and Key
Largo at the northeasterly
| tip, are bound to become as
glamorous as the South Sea
Islands and as popular as
the foremost winter resorts
| in the United States.
Lee Hills, managing edi-
tor of the Miami Herald, in
his address before the local
Rotary Club, took a similar
view of the Florida Keys
He said:
key Vests biggest prop
erty lure for the Northern
visitor is still largely unde-
veloped. This huge natural
resource is your keys, and
from your point of view, of
course, the keys closest to
Key West are the ones to
talk about.
ut may not be long be-
fore some winter visitor
looks around Stock Island,
Boca Chica and Big Coppitt
keys and decides he'll do the
same thing down here. (Sim-
liar to what was done at
Miami Beach,. Then you'll
get real estate development
that may, rival the boom of
1928, without. / hope, ANY
sad aftermath as we all re-
member too WE'LL"
With a frost-free climate,
and the best fishing along
the east coast of the United
States, the keys have what
it takes" to appeal to visitors
in Florida. Many of those
visitors will become resi-
dents and will learn that the
climate of the keys, swept
by breezes from the sea, re-
