VEST M4RTELLO
CLOSED FOR REPAIRS

AT a meeting last week of the
Key West Art and Histrocial So
ciety held at the West Martello
Gallery, it was decided to close
that gallery for alterations and
repairs, beginning June IL.
1t was estimated that the place
should be in ship-Shape condition
by July 18th when it will reopen.
Several other motions were
made at the meeting, including
the approval of the new artists
group using the West Martello
Gallery for a meeting place, in
stead of gathering at the individ-
ual homes of the membership.
1t was also suggested that the
acquiring of old cannons for dis
play in the galleries be consider
ed, inasmueh as many tourists
and visitors expected to see guns
because of the original function
OF the Towers.
A general suggestion was also
made that everybody cultivate
some kind of larger decorative
plant in a pot during the next
month"; or so, so that they might
be used TO border the repaired
patio of the West Gallery later
on.
A motion was passed on to
have Larry Harms, local photog-
rapher, make a series of good
photographs of the Towers from
the air so that postcards may be
made of them and sold through
out the city
Mr.. julius F. Stone, Jr.. presid-
ed at the meeting, and opened it
with the announcement that Mrs.
Norberg Thompson, newly elect
ed president of the Society, had
stated with regret that she would
be unable to serve this year. Mr.,
Stone said she also extended best
wishes to the Society for its work
throughout the coming year and
offered TO help in any way she
could.
The resignation was accepted
with much regret, and Mr. Stone
was instructed to convey these
sentiments to Mrs. Thompson.

(What went before: RICKETY
SLIM was very unhappy horse
because nobody noticed either
him or his master, SILENT Nc
GEE. RICKETY was honey and
thin, and SILENT MCGEE, boni-

horse tried a number of things to
make people notice him, but he
failed every time. Now
The next day RICKETY SLIM
wanted to weep and weep be
cause he felt so rejected.
SILENT MCGEE stopped in
front of the bookstore to deliver a
package of books.
The PROFESSORS HORSE
was standing outside with his
masters surrey. He looked over
his glasses at RICKETY SLIM.
You seem very unhappy. THE
PROFESSORS HORSE said.
And am unhappy, " RICKETY
SLIM answered and then told the
professors horse all about it.
Well, I'm glad you told me. Sc
the PROFESSORS HORSE said.

things off ones chest. And l think

in a sad voice.

SUPPORT MOUNTING FOR JOHNSON
KOREAN CEASE-FIRE RESOLUTION

Support for the resolution of Sen.
Edwin Johnson 3D., Colo.) for a
cease-fire in Korea was mounting
rapidly last week around the coun-
try, as several members of congress
said they favored it.
Sen. John M. Butler (R., Md
wrote to the Maryland Committee
for Peace saying: Certainly | favor
the Johnson or any other resolution
that will bring about an honorable
peace. Backers of the Johnson reso-
luton pointed out that Buffers en-
dorsement indicates the broad char
acter of the desire for peace.
Another Republican senator, Rob
ert c. Hendrickson of New Jersey,
said: II want to assure you that I
shall be happy to work for speedy
and favorable consideration of the
(Johnson) measure"
Sen. Dennis Chavez 3D., NM
said the United States is an "in-
truder" in Korea and that only

American intervention.
The Marine Cooks & Stewards un-
ion wired Johnson that nearly 1000
members of the union voted to sup
port his resolution at recent stop
work meetings. eve believe in
good neigbhor policy instead of a
bad neighbor policy" said the MICS
wire, ''and your resolution is the best
expression of that aspiration"
The Chicago district council of the
CIO United Packinghouse Workers
voted to send Johnson congratula-
tions for introducing his peace pro-
posal. The resolution is also sup
ported by top local and district Off
cials of the Dining Car & Railroad
Food Employees Union, United Elec-
trical Radio & Machine Workers, and
the AFL Carpenters in Chicago.
Meantime, the Colorado Labor Ad-
vocate, official AFL spokesman in
Denver, commented editorially that
the Johnson plan holds out hope for
a "just and peaceful settlement of
the Korean war. We don't think it's
appeasement-unl the very act of
ending the war is to be considered
appeasement."
The Dispatcher, voice of the Inter
national Longshoremen's & Ware
housemen's Union, said the news of
Johnson's proposal is being suppress
sed because business is afraid of
peace. The ticker tape on Wall
Street goes up if blood and misery
and tears increase and it goes down
if there is a possibility that blood
and misery and tears will cease" a

The Shadow Of Prussianism

The "socialistic" doctrines that
aroused such bitter opposition among
the German ruling class and in the
suppression of which conscription
played such an important role, con-
sisted largely of measures we now
regard as basic to a democratic So
ciety. At the Erfurt Congress in
1891 the Social Democratic Party
(contemptuously referred to as $50
cialist" by the aristocratic elements)
advocated universal suffrage, with
the secret ballot, separation of
church and state, free public educa-
ton, freedom of assembly, and recog-
milton of the social and political
rights of women. The delegates de-
manded the adoption of the eight
hour work day, the right of workers
to organize and the prohibition of
child labor.
The people's voice., 1951-06-22

same position as were their counter
parts in Germany. To assume that
they would resist all temptation to
weld, as did the Imperial Officers
Corps, an empire of their own with
in the body of the nation, would be
a dangerous gamble.
At the height of it's prestige and
power just before the outbreak of
World War 1 the Imperial Officers
Corps numbered only $4,000 men.
But as small man can hoist a great
weight by the proper use of lever
and fulcrum, so this numerically
small group exercised a tremendous
power over the life of Germany. The
system of universal conscription
placed the young men of the country
at their disposal and they proceeded
to indoctrinate the impressionable
youth with spirit of blind obedience
that made them willing tools in the
hands of the military oligarchy. 10y
atty to the army was extolled above
loyalty to the fatherland. A young
German officer gave vivid testi-
mony to the efficacy of this train
ing in statement quoted by Major
Ernest Rohm: 81 herewith state
that no longer belong to this ma
ton. l only remember that once 1
belonged to the Germany Army"
For more than $50 years the
United States has maintained the
principle that the military should
play a role of a servant in the
household of the nation. The
American people have had whole
some fear of placing them in a
position where they could assume
the role of master. However, we
shall make a dangerous departure
from that wise policy if we accept
a permanent program of compul-
sorry military training in peace
time.
The pathetic fate of the German
democratic movement at the hands
II military caste, using conscrip-
ion as their most powerful weapon,
should serve as a gruesone warning.
The greatest asset of the American
people has been their pioneering spir-
t and their ability to turn their backs
IN the encrusted patterns of the past.
n this critical hour when that pio-
leering spirit is faced with it's great
,st challenge it will be a grievous
confession of failure if we can think
# nothing better than to copy slav-
shly the system which played such
| sordid role in the history of the
German nation.
