WANTS SPAIN TO PAY

Despite the talk about "Hispanidad,"
a. a bond between the two countries, there
are signs that the relations between Ar
Tentina and Spain have run afoul of the
economic facts of life.
Argentina has been providing Spain
with considerable food but, after driving
q hard bargain. The Spainiards got credit,
whlrh they had nowhere else, but they
paid prices above the world market for
what they received. Now, owing con-
siderable sum, the Spainiards have been
advised By the Argentines that no more
wheat OF other foodstuffs, will be ship
pad unless paid for in cash, plus pay
meut on the past due account
Il seems that President Peron, of Ar
Rentiua, has vast projects in mind for
the economic development of his country
and needs the cash. The Argentina peso
has recently declined in relation to the
Hoiaf and Argentina has been compelled
b. reconsider the situation.

AGGRESSIVE ACTION NEEDED

q
sioners decided to construct q road GO con-
meet two main thorofares but stopped
when three-ouarters Of the road was finlsh-
ed 80 that. instead Of forming q connec-
t;on- between the thorofares, It ended in
blind alley. u
That assumption may appear to be
fa,fatcbad hut. instead, is very much to the
point when applied to the Inland Water
way that runs from Miami to Bahia Honda.
For some reason known only to themsel-
YES army engineers, many years ago, in
annrovinc the construction Of the water
wav. stopped work on it when it reached
Bahia Honda. an uninhabited stretch Of
mangroves, fringed by what is probably the
most attractive beach in Monroe county.
It is impossible for normal mind to
conceive why the engineers made Bahia
Honda. an uninhabted key, the southern
terminus of the waterway, instead OF Key
West, 40 miles father south, whose resi-
dents would have benefited UNNECESSARILY
had it been chosen as the terminus.
Almost six years ago the late Presi-
dent Franklin ID. Roosevelt alloeated ST.
$40 900 for the completion Of the water
way to Key West, but the money to pay
for the work has not yet been appropriate
ed But long before Roosevelt approved
the project, Key Westers repeatedly had
tried, through its senators and representa-
tives in Washington, to have the water
way completed to Key West. Letters and
kilograms, chockful full of glowing pro-
misses, were received from the late Senat-
ors Duncan u. Fletcher and Charles O.
Andrews and the present Senator Claude
Pepper about the efforts they were MAX
ing to have the waterway extended from
Bahia Honda to Key West, but whatever
efforts were made turned out be futile.
Stephen Cochrane Singleton, during
the years he was executive secretary of the
Key West Chamber of Commerce recur-
rently appealed to the Florida delegation
in Washington and to associations con-
cerned in inland waterways to help us to
have the Bahia Honda-Key West extern
sion constructed. But his extended and
conscientious work went for naught ex-
cept to accumulate boxful of letters, tele
grams and other documents about the pro-
posed extension. slaEss@s 80
As the city commission is arranging
to improve Garrison Blight to provide boat
ing facilities, now is the time for an agrees
sive, a neyer-give-up drive to bring the
terminus of the Inland Waterway from
Bahia Honda to Key West.
President Truman may not be famil-
lar with the status of the waterway, for
which we have waited so long and I'M
availingly. He may help us. Thousands of
other communities appeal to him for pro-
jects that would promote their welfare.
The Citizen suggests that the city and
county commissions, the Chamber of Com
merce, the Junior Chamber of Commerce
and other civic bodies appeal to him to
make available the money the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt allocated to extend the
waterway from Bahia Honda to Key West.

Red China
Wotered Down Reform

Red China's leader Mao Tze-tung
has signed a new agrarian reform law
which makes startling concessions to
Chinese land capitalists and rich peas
ants.
Landlords in central and south
China are due for confscation of their
land holdings, farm implements and
surplus houses" but will be allowed
to retain other wealth under the
law. Rich peasants who till their own
land and hire other peasants will be
allowed to keep all their land and
wealth as before.
These concessions contrast with the
harsh policy in Manchuria where land
lords were stripped of all wealth and
driven from their homes.
Observers believe there may be
two important reasons for the con-
cessions. Manchurian production fell
abruptly after rich peasants had been
stripped of control of their land. The
Reds desperately need capital for in
dustry and they are believed wooing
landlords to invest their wealth in
productive enterprise.

Medicine
Potent Pituitary

The pituitary is a marble-Sized
gland at the base of the brain con-
trolling the thyroid, the adrenals, sex
and other glands.
Doctors have never been able to
control this master gland but two new
research achievements by DR.. c. H. Ii,
discoverer of ACTH, brings this goal
nearer to realization. The implications
of his work are that science will be
able to synthetic in large quantities
many. perhaps all, Of the potent and
little understood pituitary hormones.
Working at the University of Cali
fornia DR.. Ii found he could triple
the potency of ACTH by boiling it in
an acid solution. ACTH has been used
against cancer, rheumatic fever and
score of other diseases.
DR.. Ii also found he could triple
the power of ACTH extract by the
same process. This extract, which he
produced several months ago, is as
effective as ACTH in some ways and
chemically less complicated.
Because it is simpler, medical lab
Oratories may be able to produce large
quantities by synthetic means. ACTH
itself is too complex to be made sym
thetically.
The HOrmOne FISH
The second new step is the break
down of another pituitary hormone,
which apparently increases the fer
tility of both males and females. It is
called the follicle stimulating hor-
none FISH.
This substance, which DR.. Ii iso-
lated a year ago, invigorates little
sacs in the ovaries in which the seeds
of life are produced in the female. II
also may stimulate the little tubes
which produce the life germ in the
male.

France
In Again, Out Again

France, hobbled with myriad polit-
ical parties, formed a new government
under Premier Henri Queuille. 1t
lasted two days.
1t was the 18th French government
since liberatiOn-fve years ago. 1t was
also the seventh government under
the Fourth Republic and the second
one Queuille headed.
Queuille's previous government held
the longest term. It lasted 13 months.
The Queuille Cabinet was formed
last Sunday, eight days after the gov
ernment of Premier Georges Bidault
fell because of Socialist inSistence on
a raise for government workers.
The Socialists were also the main
factor in Queuille's fall. The party
called his cabinet 'too rightist."
President Vincent Auriol began
consultations with party leaders in an
attempt to form a new government.
The indications were heavily against
any solution being found for some
time.
The crisis had little to do with
French foreign policy. Robert Schu-
man, who advanced the plan to pool
western Europe's coal and steel, is
still the foreign minister.
Queuille's government included a
new and important ofice-Minister of
State for the Associated States and
the Far East. This ministry was to
handle the affairs of the commu-
nist-threatened Indochina where the
French army has been fighting Rec
guerrillas for three years.
