REuIcroNIsTs MUST OBEY LAW OR

More than two score young men are
now serving prison terms for refusing to
register for the draft and their plight is
the excuse for sentimental appeals for
cIemency from the government whose
laws they flagrantly flouted.
The argument is made that religious
freedom is imperilled by the insistence
Of the government that conscientious OBJ
jectors to war register in accordance with
the act of Congress. It should be noted
that the initial act of REGISTERING did not
mean that the men would be compelled
to become belligerents and that, during the
last war, conscientious DIRECTORS served
the nation IN other ways.
A group of 400 clergymen and other
persons from thirty-six states have signed
a protest, alleging that the conviction of
these men throws into doubt our herit-
age of religious freedom. In addition,
the signers of the protest, intimate that
the young men should be signally honor
ed for faithfully following their consci-
ences"
That is an interesting argument. As TO
religious freedom, one snould understand
that this is not an excuse to violate the
law of the land. AS the late Alfred E.
Smith declared, there is no power in the
institutions of any church ito interfere
with the operation of the Constitution Of
the United States or the enforcement Of
the law of the land
Certainly. as TO the following of ones
conscience, we must admit that this is an
ideal policy for every individual, but it is
nowhere guaranteed, in statutory law or
Holy Writ, that this can be done without
being subjected TO prosecution or penal
~. If one is convinced that law of the
land is wrong, one may well disregard it
as matter of conscience, but with the full
knowledge that the state has the right to
enforce the penalty provisions Of any viola
ton of its laws.

THE KEY TO PROGRESS

The Citizen published an advertisement
Of the City Electric System on July p that
showed key in the center and, above the
key. The Key to Progress and, below the
key. lis Electricity.''
A reader of The Citizen who resides
al Big Pine Key cut out the advertisement
and sent it to The Citizen with the inferred
comment that electricity is what is needed
at Big Pine to bring about progress
He should have added that electricity
is needed for the same purpose on all the
lower chain of Florida Keys The upper
chain has rural identification, and the
lower chain should be similarly supplied
with what is the greatest invention in the
world - electricity, that is. the Harvesting
Of IT.
In good many instances when we
have declared that Harvesting electricity
is the worlds greatest invention, others
have argued that this or that is far great
er invention. Some have said the radio, the
airplane, television, radar, the radio tele-
phone. or the teletype is greater inven-
ton. They did not stop to think that the
basic force Of all those inventions is cleo
trieity. Splitting the atom and the produc-
ton of atomic energy by fission also de-
pend on electricity
But the Big Pine residents chief con-
Germ about electricity is not its outstand-
ing wonder as an invention. His thoughts
are confined 10 the light and power Big
Pine viii receive if rural electrification is
extended there
That will be the main factor in the
progress of the lower chain Of Keys, and
The Citizen trusts rural identification
soon viii be installed in that locality.

The nation is propably plagued by
professors" and experts" They man.
age to make a speciality of almost every
conceivable subject. Their curiosity knows
no bounds.
While some of the special studies have
resulted in significant information for
other people, some of them seem to rep
resent wasted time. For example, what
about the college professor who announces
the completion of fourteen-year study of
the social significance of the bump" the
roll" and other accomplishments of
American burlesque queens?
The gentleman made some portraits
of burlesque performers some years ago
and became fascinated by the subject
He thereupon decided to make "a serious
study of its sociological values" One of
his revelations, which surprises nobody,
is that interest in burlesque is not con-
fined to low-brows."

Recently the Unificafion of the
Armed Services Bill was finally
passed and substantially in &C
cordance with the Hoover Com
mission recommendations. Many
people had written TO my office
protesting that the unifIcation
might result in drastic curtail-
ment 0f-the Navy and its Air
Force, and the possible elinina-
iion Of the Marine Corps.
When the Unificailon Bill was
before the House several DAYS
ago. Congressman Vinson, Chair
man Of the Armed Services Com
mIttee. told Us that he and the
Committee had placed certain
limitations On the Secretary of
Defense's authority, direction and
control Vinson said, Nov, this
Limitation on the Secretary spe-
officially prevents him from tax
ing any combatant function as
signed TO the Army, Navy or Air
Force and abolishing il, trans
ferring it, consolidating it, or
reassigning IL So he cannot
abolish the Marine Corps. He can
not transfer marine aviation TO
Air Force. He cannot put naval
aviation into the Air Force. He
cannot put the marines in the
Army"
After the members of Congress,
ex-Arrny CTS and officers, ex-
Navy men and Marines had care
fully studied The provisions point
ed out by Chairman Vinson and
were further treasured by Vim
sons speech, the Unification Bill
was passed and sent TO the PreSi-
dent for his signature. So, while
the bill is designed TO bring
about economy and efficiency in
many ways, and certainly there
is plenty of room for that, and
we all want that, it nevertheless
viii not endanger the size or ef-
fectiveness Of the Marine Corps,
the Navy or the Air Force.
Last week the House passed
H. r. $500, which is a bill of
great concern TO all disabled
veterans and their families. II is
designed TO eliminate some un-
fair Determinations which now
exists in our pension laws. The
way the law had been - veterans
of World War ! who contracted
prior to January ], 1925, neuro-
psychiatris disease. spinal men,
nights, tuberculosis, and other
similar eases were pre-
suTned to have connected dis
abilities. But - and here was the
unfairness even though the
disease was 100 percent disabling,
the law permitted only rs percent
benefit payments. The bill which
We passed the other day would
permit these veterans TO get the
entire 100 percent pensions, if
totally disabled, TO which they
are entitled.
The bin would also fix definite
payments for tuberculosis pa
tients Of either war. Under the
old law, the Veterans Admins
tration gave benefits based on
the extent Of the disability il de-
ternined in each individual case.
The new bill would remove the
variable determination and es-
tablish fixed rates in accordance
with sound medical principles.
The bill also provides for in
creasing total disability pay
ments from sl3o to $50 month
with proportionate increases for
the nine degrees of partial dis
ability. Also, there is an increase
in the wartime rate Of death
compensation for widow with
one child from 500 to sos per
month, plus $25 per month for
each additional child, instead OF
the SIS presenfIy authorized.
