TO THE RESCUE

It's drab world, mates, what with
Russians, taxes, initiation, divorce, juven-
lie delinquency and general air of moral
degeneration, hellfire and damnation. The
physiognomy of a man, thinking on all
these things, is likely to suggest that he
has been weaned on a sour pickle.
But do not despair, Help is coming.
color experts in the New York fashion CEN
ter have ordered miracle to occur. They
will bring happiness to the male by array
ing him in ALI the colors of the rainbow
Lavender suits, bottle green coats and can
airy How pants. All that stuff
tnnay put strain on the dye indus
tries to get surplus of the hue into shirts
and neckties over coats and weskits, but
even that IS possible Then man can re-
gain all the glory of raiment that once be-
longed to the cock Of the species but which
he weakly surrendered to the hen, against
all nature, when the distaff side began to
assert itself.
Did you know" ask the color ex-
perts, that color can mean the difference
between happiness and unhappiness ?"
Even the hospitals are going in for dyna-
mic colors so patient may forget his pain.
So, men, be prepared to put aside all
that monotonous stuff in your wardrobe
and array yourselves in the ego-stimula-
ting finery which made Henry the Eighth
strut, Then go forth-the master of your
fates---with smiles on your lips and songs
in zyFenrs hearts.

PLEA FOR E. c. A.

Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, of
development Of a non-partisan foreign
policy for the United States, is recuper-
ating from an operation but took advan-
tage of the second anniversary of the
Economic Cooperation Administration to
say that the agency has rendered 'incal-
culably valuable service to our country
in its indispensable leadership for Hber-
ty"
Calling attention to the fact that ECA
was launched as an bipartisan enter
prise" established by Republican Con-
gress in cooperation with a Democratic
executive, the Michigan Senator does not
pretend that no mistakes have been made
or that the program is "untouchable" but
takes the view that the ECA program has
been substantially responsible for revers-
ing the "corroding gloom which threaten
ed Western civilization two years ago."
Mr. Vandenberg suggested the crea-
ton of an bipartisan" commission to
recommend long-range economic and
political peace policy for this country.
He thinks the development of these poll
cies will be necessary to supplement and
follow the European relief program now
in operation. He pointedly remarks that
this nation has new responsibilities "as
the worlds largest creditor nation and
the worlds spearhead in the quest of de-
pendable peace" Finally, he expresses
the hope that we shall not lose sight of
the forest because we are so near the
trees -

til now has been omitted. Some
writer may buzz about the town
on Sunday and find that there
are quite q. number of churches
here, and that these churches are
occupied by a lot of people.
It might not be ''sensationalism"
but it does have a bearing on the
fact that Key West is not city
of crime, corruption, sin and
strip-tease with all hell on the
loose and no holds barred.
Any writer who is interested
enough to take a second look can
find plenty Of evidence to offset
the fact that a minority, tourists
and local alike, go around and
about kicking over the traces now
and then.
We got culture here too, chums,
as well as wine, women and
song!

MONOGRAPH
CARPENTER OR COOK?

Norman Thomas has dedicated his
life to the cause of Socialism which, ac-
cordfng to the dictionary, is "A political
and economic theory of social organiza-
ton based on collective oreggoVernmental
ownership--of the essential means for the
production and distribution of goods For
many years Mr. Thomas has been the Soc
ialistmParty candidate in presidential cleo
tons, but has never received more than a
handful of votes. The people do not ap-
prove of Socialism when it is presented IN
a fortnight manner. And yet in the last
decade and half a large part of the Soc
ialist~party platform has been adopted.
High political office-holders who profess
opposition to the philosophy of Socialism
advocate and adopt measures which lead
ultinfately to all powerful socialisitic gov
eminent.
1t is time that candidates and office
holders at every level of government be
pinned down on a definition of issues. As
one observer points out: "If bank clerk
develops the habit of classifying his records
and stealing money from the bank at
which he is employed, how long will his
title remain bank clerk, and when will it
change from bank clerk to thief? Or if q
malfealls himself carpenter and con-
staraly works at the cooking trade. should
the man be called carpenter or cook?
Similarly, if a man claims to be a
Democrat or Republican, but carries on a
socialistic program to destroy private
business and the profit incentive system
Program that promises the so-called
common man everything, one that en-
ploIs bankruptcy spending, confiscatory
taxation and heavier regulations on bust
ness costs higher, one that is gradually
socializing basic industries and professions
is making more of US wards of the govern
ment and is creating regional authorities
should not man who advocates and works
for such program be called, not Demo-
craft NOR Republican, but SOCIALISM,"

BUTTER AND MARGARINE ARE GOOD

We lift our heads to the editors of Adj
vertising Age because of it's comment to
the effect that "the lobbying job of the
dairy industry and the margarine group
seems to be about over and it is the hope
that the interest shown in the subject by
the public has been in reality an education
al campaign" Nevertheless, that goes a
little too far because it has been a camp
align that in the end has smothered the
sixty-three year old prejudice against
margarine" Millions of housewives from
time to time tried out margarine for them
Selves, and found that it was Licking"
good And margarine finally established a
reputation as tip-top competitor with
butter So in this good year of 1860 the
question of color seems to have been de-
cided once and for all by the American
public as false charge that kept the dis
cussion going in Congress. Federal taxes
on colored margarine will end on July
and the old barrier blocking the sale of
margarine will be skidoo. Now the issue
seems to be in the hands of the public
which is best and which is cheapest.
