CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS

Once again the people of Key West
are responding to the spirit of Christmas.
season of joy that is linked with the OBJ
servanee of a precious religious event.
The happiness and cheer that per-
meates human hearts at this season and
makes It's presence evident in Key West is a
product of an unselfish solicitude for the
happiness of others and somewhat spon-
taneous surge of the spirit of helpful
ness.
In Key West there are many exhibit
tons of this eommendable interest in other
human beings. Baskets of food will be dis
tributed to bring JOY into homes where lit
tie mouths might otherwise be empty and
hundreds of toys will be distributed to
bring happiness into the hearts of little chill
dren who would otherwise be forgotten by
Santa Claus, the great saint of all child
hood
The Citizen hopes that all of its read
ers will participate in the activities that
center around Christmas and that they will
share the blessings that come with such
good undertaking. Naturally. the children
of the community look upon Christmas as a
time of receiving gifts. but our adult pop
ulation should find its greatest joy in the
fine art of generous giving.
While most of our churches will eele-
brate Christmas as the natal day of Jesus
Christ and stage some special program to
commemorate that event, the spirit of
Christmas is broad enough to include peo-
pie of all religions and to extend even to
those who profess to have none. Moreover,
real Christians viii find opportunities to
give expression to the best teachings of the
founder of their faith by exhibiting spirit
of tolerance, based upon an abiding love of
and for mankind.
Before concluding this discussion of
the Christmas season, ones thoughts in
evitably turn to the song of peace on
Earth" associated with the angels of long
ago. That the world is far from realiza-
ton of this happy augury must be admitted
but that spirit of peace is the ultimate
aim of our great nation in its war against
international gangsters is an omen of hope
to which the eyes of men and women all
over the world can turn with faith And
even in these warning times each individual
has an obligation to so conduct himself as
to bring closer the day when peace shall live
in all human hearts.

JAP POSITION STRENGTHENED

The purpose of the Japanese is to sc.
cure domination of the Far East. The only
way for the United States to win the present
war is to prevent Japan from securing that
domination. Naturally, this means that,
eventually, sufficient force must be assem-
bled in the Far East to whip the japanese
in their horne waters and in their own IS
land.
The first events of the struggle indicate
that the japanese have gained successes
which will consolidate their position in the
Far East and make more difficult the final
campaign in that area.
The outlook for a long war is based IN
part upon the belief that it may take
months, or years, for this country to secure
fleet of sufficient size to successfully en-
gage the Japanese in and around Japan.
Eventually, this will be necessary.
The present Japanese control of the
waters of the Far East means the cutting of
communications to the Philippines, the
Dutch East Indies, Singapore and China. In
her area, Japanese sea and air power have
gained tremendous advantage and this
condition will have to be reversed before
the japanese can be defeated.

WE HAVE NO MIMIC WAR

Japan has begun war on the United
States. We have a stiff fight on our hands.
Don't underestimate our adversary. The
war will not be q make-believe. ineon-
sequential struggle.
While we are confident we can, and
viii, defeat the japanese, we are not willing
to underwr;te the struggle as merely side
show in a world at war. It viii be first
class battle before it is all over.
We should bear n mind that the Japs
started the war; In doing so. the Japs evil
IDENTIFY figured they had chance, and
good chance. to win the war No nation
knowingly commits suicide The laps have
been shrewd appraisers of international af-
fairs before now. They have begun war
which they think they can win.
