THE BACkWASH


MAX Marks. Inspector for the State
Hotel Commission. says he has found some
'FeOHhihg houses in Key West that do not
measure up to the plane set by the COM
mission. and that one in particular should
'be stopped from operating Immediately.
u so turns out. Mr.. Marks explained
that this particular rOOming house is not
,cgndVeted by a Key Wester. The Inspector
states that he spoke to the tourist who,
wstfF Ms wife, is occupying the room, and
that his resentment was so pronounced he
declared that When he goes back home he
~ gong 10 advise all his friends to keep
away from Key West.
Il told him." Marks said, your att-
tude Is wTong-dOn't blame il on Kew
West. There are many excellent rooms in
Key West. and don't think it's right for
bou 90 denounee the city just because you
happened 10 get a room that is far under
The standard"
judging from what his inspection has
already disclosed. Mr.. Marks said that
probably the state will order from 80 to 40
rooming houses in Key West to discontinue
An operation until required improvements
are made. Having been born and reared in
Key West he stated that his sympathy is
wholly with the city, and that with the
exception he noted he maintains that
eveui Key Wester should entertain a
fimhar attitude.
key Westers should feel that they
should not do anything that will harm the
Fhy as tourist center. Neither should
they rent rooms that are unfit for occu-
pancy nor charge exorbitant rents. If a
tourist feels he has been gouged, he will
make Il a point not to return to Key West.
That reaction has happened elsewhere in
Florida and, in at least one case recently,
owners Of hotels. apartments and rooming
hoVsfa complained of poor season while
resorts elsewhere in Florida were doing a
good business. The reason for the poor
season was the backwash of gouging.

BLOOD AND WATER"

Many old sayings sometimes develop
flaws but some withstand the test of time.
One of the latter is BLOOD is thicker than
water"
He is foolish man or woman who
dips into Quarrels between brothers and
sisters. One Key Wester said that he fool
ishly took sides, several years ago, in a
dispute between two brothers. and that
when they became receneiled, both Jump
ed on him. A similar result applies to
Quarrek between husband and wife. Let
them settle their own differences, as they.
viii eventually WITHOUT any scfiticism or
comment from an outsider.
Yesterday story from Kearney, N. j.,
was given nationwide publicity about two
brothers. Dan and Robert Noble, who had
quarreled 20 years ago. They never spoke
again, but Robert. who made sizeable
fortune in a soft drink industry, left prac-
tically all his fortune. amounting to half a
million dollars. to Dan,
Robert had never married. He resided
in mansion in Glen Cove, N, Y. while
Dan was struggling to make both ends
meet. he is street sweeper in Keaney,
and was paid $50 week until recently,
when he was given SIS raise
Dan refused to explain the reason for
the quarrel between him and his brother.
Pressed by reporters to tell about the
quarrel, he merely said, 1T was just tiff"
He added that, regardless of the windfall,
ne would continue to sweep streets.
1t is doubtful if he will continue his
job as street sweeper when he comes into
possession of his fortune. 1t would have
been more interesting had he told frankly
just what was his reaction when he heard
his brother had left his fortune to him.
Whatever his feeling might have been, one
may be sure he was remorseful in recall
ing the quarrel because that is one of the
results of the truth that Blood is thicker
than water"

THE FARMERS STAKE

Calling attention to negotiations
which will begin in April, President Tru-
man has suggested that the United States
cooperate with other nations in order that
all peoples can sell each other the products
of their agriculture. labor and industry
This he thinks, will be sure foundation
for economic peace.
Secretary of Agriculture Charles F.
Brannan, writing a House Committee
which is beginning public hearings on the
question of extending the Reciprocal
Trade Agreement, calls attention to the
fact that the farmers of this country NOR
mally produce many commodities in
greater quantities than are required for
use in the United States and adds that
any acceptable farm program must be as
sociated with keeping open the channels
of international trade so that our agricul-
tural products can be sold abroad
"The American farmer" declares Sec
rotary Brannan, must not have his prod
usts excluded from foreign markets by
excessive tariffs and other barriers or be
Disseminated against through preference
and other special deals between foreign
governments"
The observations of the Secretary of
Agriculture are pertinent and particularly
interesting to the farmers of America. The
agricultural production of the United
States, in tobacco, cotton, wheat and other
products, far exceeds the consumption in
this country The excess must be sold in
foreign countries or it will create huge sur
pluses to depress prices in this country
Consequently, any program that enlarges
the scope of world trade will help to main
tain markets for our surplus agricultural
products.
