A HELPLESS MINORITY

The United Nations now includes
fifty-nine members, involving hetero-
geneous collection of small and large,
backward and progressive, strong and de-
fenseless and, we might add, civilized and
near-civilized countries.
The United States, Great Britain,
France and Russia, sometimes referred to
as the Big Four. constitute the backbone
OF the strength of the organization. When
acting In concert, they have the resources,
power and ability. However, they have
only four votes out of fifty-nine. This, in
large degree, explains their possession
OF the veto prerogative.
This misuse of the veto by Soviet Rus
sia should not blind us to the obvious
advantages of such an arrangement Only
through concerted action of the larger
nations Can the United Nations function
as 1t was intended to operate. 1t is better
for the organization not to undertake a
questionable task rather than to plunge
into it with the larger nations divided and
antagonistic.
There is another phase of the opera
tlons of the United Nations which should
receive the attention of the people of this
country. Most of the members, regardless
Of all the talk about the four freedoms,
do not seriously apply them at home.
Moreover, what is generally referred to
as the Anglo-Saxon civilization is shared
by not more than ten of twelve of the
members. In addition, the membership is
broken up into number of groups acting
through something of a mutual self-in-
terest. This would include Latin bloc,
Near East bloc, an Asiatic bloc, a Com
munist bloc and some other delineations.
80 long as the United Nations con-
fines itself to the general peace of the
world, which is obviously in the interest
of all the nations. and seeks to prevent
aggressive attacks upon free nations, it can
hope to move, in the future, with soil
darity. Whenever it dips into the domes.

less of motives, it treads on dangerous
grounds.

NAN HOLLOWAY came into
- the kitchen where his mother
and younger brother. Mike. still
fingered q. the supper table. He
wore a new dark blue suit with a
neat pin-stripe, q dark blue tie,
and &c smelled OF good soap and
shaving lotion. He had coat over
his arm, his hat in his hand. His
black hair shone from much
brushing and his blue eyes were
shining. He hooked like thousands
OF other young men who were
most likely at this same moment

who's Martina Wayland?"
Mike wanted to know, his scorn-
full freckled face wrinkled into a
scowl of disappointment.
Hattie Holloway's face, too,
clouded and she felt her heart
catch on a sharp corner of fear,

he was on the defensive, and he
didn't like it. He asked. almost

DRUNKEN DRIVERS

rr''rs Thousands Of good people will be
killed on the highways of the United
states before the year 1949 ends.
There seems to be little public indig-
nation over the slaughter. The average au-
tomobile driver. acquainted with the
natural hazards OF the road hesitates to
incite drastic penalties through the fear
that some unavoidable catastrophe will
land him In the hOose-gow.
There was a time when high speeds

butt years have produced better cars
and higher speeds. What would have

CONTINUE TO FALL

Anybody who reads magazines de-
voted to business in its br0adest sense, or
articles about business in magazines and
newspapers, can readily determine that we
are in the throes of recession. One maya
aine, with circulation of more than 2. $780,
600, devoted all except one of its business
articles last week tosthe recession.
The recession is underway I'm Key
West as well as in all other cities in Fl0ri-
da. Tampa and Miami report that even
bolita buying il tapering off.
The magazine assigns the reason for
the recession to determined stand by the
public to resist buying during skyrocket-
ing prices in many fields. One article list
ed several corporations that do business
on nationwide scale that recently have
announced cuts In prices ranging up to 20
percent. But buying responses are still
slow and cautious. The public feels that
far greater reductions most be made be-
fore it opens up It's p0cketbook for pur-
chasing on large scale.
II was explained In the articles that
the American people still have vast
amounts of savings. Continuation of an-
employment seems to have been viewed by
the people as a warning to buy carefully
and to sidestep high prices whenever pos
sible
Taxicab drivers in Key West proba-
bly, are the. first group to note an increase
or falling off of business When no close
check is made on spending money. The
drivers do thriving business, but they
have reported for several weeks that
fares" have been declining. That trend
has been evident in some other lines of
business in Key West.
However, residents have no cause yet
for uneasiness. More Key Westers than
had been expected put away that "nest
egg" when business was good, for the
proverbial rainy day It is true that unem-
ployment exists her, but it is probably on
lower scale, viewed from a standpoint of
population, than elsewhere in Florida.
Finally, as long as buyer resistance
continues, prices will continue to fall.
