NEWS REPORTS WERE MEAGER

We cannot quite agree in toto, with
some newspaper men who express the be-
lief that despite foreign censorship, the peo-
pie of this country have been acquainted
with developments in Europe.
Certainly. it is well known that cor
respondents in Germany and Italy had to
exercise extreme care to prevent expulsion,
They have transmitted much valuable in
formation but they have not been free to
comment upon and interpret the sig
nificanee Of many Of the facts that have
been reported.
Moreover, as we reflect upon the news
reports that have come to this country from
the totalitarian areas, we cannot believe
that the full import of the amazing policies
of repression have been completely pre-
scented to American readers. There is no
way to understand the failure of some Am
orleans to comprehend the significance OF
the present world struggle.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY IGNORED

What we can't understand about this
gasoline shortage and the discussion about
available tank cars on the railroads, is why
the men who sell gasoline and the men who
sell transportation can't get together and
use the tank cars without waiting upon a
governmental investigation.
If the tank cars are available, and If
they can haul the gasoline that the Eastern
States need, the railway magnates and the
gasoline companies can proceed with BUSH
ness and get the gas where it can be used.
Here it seems to us is perfectly good
business proposition going to waste, with
big business men and so-called private
initiative asleep. There is ample gasoline
in the producing States and the railroad
people say there are ample tank cars. Ger
tainly, no one disputes that there are ample
prospective purchasers for full gasoline
supplies.

THE GENERAL HAS HIS POINTS

There is nothing that pleases Gen.
Hugh Iron Pants) Johnson anymore than
to needle the administration. It's chore
the general dearly loves, and to make it all
the more pleasurable, he is paid for it.
General Johnson's most recent and
most repeated attacks on the administra-
ticn, however, are not so far off base, and
Key West affords d fine example Of what
he IS talking about when he proclaims that
price control must be overall if it is to be
effective.
The general, who really came into the
public eye as one of President Roosevelt's
handy men in the post of NRAi chief, con-
tends that the present piece-meal methods
of price control are setting the stage for a
period of initiation How, asks General
Johnson, can the administration hope to
control prices If it does not control the basic
ingredients of prices-wages and rents?
Essentially, just that is what is hap
pening here.
Carpenters and laborers, constantly
faced with increasing costs of living, are
demanding constant pay increases, some OF
which have been met. But what good does
it do them to get a pay increase if the costs
Of living promptly skyrocket again, leaving
them with less net earnings than they had
before?
And what becomes of the fixed-inconae
man whose earnings haven't increased at all
since the prices started to climb?
The present system under which wages
are figured here---if you can cali it a system
--isn'te adequate to handle the troubles
which national defense is heaping upon it.
You can't base your pay on rate set up
months ago and get any intelligent answer
by adding few pennies occasionally or
refusing to add few pennies.
If ever the present labor trouble in
Key West is to be brought permanently to
an end, it will be on the basis of a wage and
living cost balance which will be fair in the
first place, and then will not be dis
turbed
The study to establish such balance
has not yet been started, either here or any
place else in the country. And since it
hasn't been established anyplace else, you
have your answer to why Key West is
ignored when its representatives demand a
study from the government.
After all, what answer could they
give?
They could set ceiling on wages
perhaps with the agreement of the work
ers and the navy. But how long would the
agreement last if the rents and food prices
promptly jumped, too?

refugees who. fleeing their own war
wrecked countries, have made their
way to England. The Refugees of

every South American country, all

From attics and cellars, from vaults

sold to dealers has meant pennies for

ENEMIES. The dogs name was Tippy.
The goose was Honker They never did
get along. Tippy continually tried to
choke Honker. Honker eternally at
tempted to remove Tippy's tail and
ears from the rest of him. Enemies,
sworn.
Then a car hit Tippy. The doctor
said: Hell live but be blind"
He could walk again, finally. Terri
fed, he shivered his way out to the
lawn. He stood there, lost. Honker saw
him and whirled, ready to attack. But
then she saw his vacant brown eyes.
She stared, poised in bewilderment.
She came back, gently this time, and
honked. Honked persistenty until
Tippy followed her over to the water.
From that day on, the goose became

holes and obstacles, chasing away BEL
