void and Charles M. Brookfield.
It's an ever recurrent discussion of
the status of Key West! is it tro-
pical or sub-tropical? That is the
question!
Technically, according to Wealth
er Bureau Chief Sam Goldsmith
Key West is not truly tropical be-
cause it is not within torrid zone,
but right ON the edge of the sub
tropical region or tropic of Cancer
which is the North temperate zone.
And as long as we're being
technical--the Tropic of Cancer ends
at % degrees thirty minutes north
latitude, and Key West is situated
at "a degrees 80 minutes north la
titude. So you see, we're roughly
just one degree or about ninety
miles removed (Thank Goodnessi)
from the actual torrid zone.

Where the cocopalm grows and

LOUIS II. BUDEZ
Stain, Aesop 80 And You

United States, the warmongers
are still having their own way in
great measure, but their failures
in foreign policy in both Asia
and Europe and the mounting
burdens of the war economy are
creating a growing doubt and di-
vision in the ranks of the peo-
pie and even in capitalist cir
cles."
Offset Defestism 1
Thus, our own hesitancy to
take strong stand against Sow
et aggression is turned against
us. Since the Communist direc-
tive-giver states events as occur
ring in order to make them oc-
cur. the statement about 'doubt
and division" is a clear order TO
the comrades, open and conceal
cd, TO achieUe that result.
This is MADE doubly evident
when Swift follows up this state
ment with another to the effect
that the success of "the war
mongers" to date has been due to
"the Big Lie that the Soviet I'm
ion was the aggressor." He de-
clares that conditions are rapid
ly multiplying for undermining
and destroying these illusions. y
Thereupon he states that it is
"our Party'S great responsible
ty" to help bring the American
people to an understanding that
the defense program must be OPP
posed.
II thiS advice we're to remain
cooped up in Communist circles,
il would be bad enough, for ii
would encourage every device at
sabotage of the defense effort
that the Reds can command. But
experience teaches us that such
counsels 90 farther-out into the
non-Communist press in one
form or another. Be prepared,
therefore, to meet and offset
defenttsm, just as you must be
prepared to halt appeasement of
Soviet aggression.

Today, Friday, the 10th, is the Feast of The Sac
red Heart of Jesus This feast instituted and is
celebrated by the Church today to give honor and
homage to the Sacred Humanity of Jesus.
II has its dogmatc foundation in the Incarnation
of the Gods Son, making every part of our Lords
human nature worthy of alteration; and in a par
tcular way, we honor Our Lords Sacred Heart as
symbol, reminder of His great love for us
There are countless numbers of human beings
who, knowing or unknowingly, subscribe to the an
cient hereses about the Person of Christ Our cele
bration of this Feast of Sacred Heart can do much
to repay Christ for their neglect and win for man
kind the treasures promised by Christ to those who
honor His Divine Person. and pay homage to His
Sacred Heart.

Why Betrayal
OF Our Nation?

Despite the squeals made by the communists
and their sympathizers Louis Budenz is now recog-
nized having done his country tremendous
service. He is still doing whatever he can to fight
the menace OF communism, Ii is true that he may be
doing in reparaton for his defectons and
work as a communist some few years ago. Neverthe.
less, his former experience makes him val
liable asset in fighting evil as slippery and
elusive as is communism.
Mr.. BudenZ said in an address last week that
communism'S greatest wins have been in the United
States. This is rather shocking and startling to say
the least. But we gather the meaning of this when
we hear him say that Communism has taken another
200 100000 persons since 1945 in addition TO the
600,000,000 ii already controlled. He said that the
United States policy has been responsible for com
munism's success in ensaving these people over
sevenyesr period. That is amazing and humiliat-
ing statement for all redblooded Americans.
Poland betrayed in Washington through
the counses of Alger Hiss Harry Hopkins and
others of their ilk said Mr. Budenz. China too,
lost in Washington through the counsels OF Owen
baltimore and host of others in the government
How all good Americans should blush at this revela
ton The only consolation is in the knowledge that
the United States such has not betrayed anyone but
rather that small segment of its leadership has
ranged for the counryS own defeat by the ever
encroaching communist conspiracy"
One cannot help but wonder how many people
could be so far from devotion TO this greatest nation
earth with all its privileges and its high standard
of living. Besides. how could it be that many
others sit idly by while all this happens right around
them? Is there something wrong with our educa-
tona processes that our citizens no longer have
deep abiding patriotism? II must be, else why the
continual fight TO separate the Church and State?
For how can a nation long endure that rules God
out of its interest and concern? Our greatest trait
ors are those who long since ruled religion out of
the training of future citizens the ones who now
betray their country.
