 No Aerial Patrol
 Secretary Knox said no Army or Navy planes were in the air when the attack came although the planes of the Navy in the GUS tomary dawn patrol were already over the horizon as the Navy was not patrolling at night.
 Knox told a questioner that he considers such patrol was ineffec- tive, and he believed 300 patrol planes should have been operating to entirely safeguard the islands from a surprise attack.

 Secretary Knox said the Army loss of aircraft is severe. Some of the hangars wee also destroyed, and he added, rei,lacements have already arrived or are on the way.

GROUP COOPERATION VITAL

The little boy Tho took his bat and ball
and went home, breaking up the neighbor-
hood baseball game because he didn't like
the way the boys played, has long since
grown up.
His counterpart is found today, among
many adults, who cannot cooperate with
their felldwmen So long as things go their
way they are nice and sociable but when
events go against them they act like their
boyhood prototypes
Democracy, in the United States, is not
an exclusive formula for political activity
1t must permeate the entire scope of human
relationships if what we call the American
wav of life is to survive the competition of
the isms
We make no claims to perfection in the
art of cooperation with individuals. There
are issues upon which we are quite pre-
pared to stand alone il necessary. We
strive, however, to seek avenues of coopera-
ton with other human beings, engaged IN
the very fascinating task of trying to make
life worth living for everybody.
In the conduct of life human beings or
dinarily associate with others of like mind
and purpose In such group it is utterly
impossible for any single individual to have
his, or her, own way. The price of mutual
benefits is the sacrifice, at time, of unessen-
tial opinions and preferences in order to Sc
cure decisive action on the part of CO.
operating group.

TOO LATE" MEANS DEFEAT

One of the ablest living military COM
manders is General Douglas Macarthur,
former chief of staff of the United States
Army, now retired, but still active as head
Of the Philippine Army. He recently wrote
the following letter in response to an in
curry by the Manila Daily Bulletin:
''You have asked my military opinion
as to whether the time has come for Am
erica to give continued and further aid to
England in the fight for civilization.
The history of failure in war can al
most be summed up in two words: Too
Late. Too late in compromising the dead
" purpose of potential enemy too late In
realizing the mortal danger; too late in
preparedness; too late in uniting all pos
sible forces for resistance too late in stand
ing with ones friends.
'The greatest strategical mistake in all
history will be made if America fails to
recognize the vital moment, if she permits
again the writing of that fatal epitaph: Too
Late.
"Such co-ordinated help as may be re-
parded as proper by our leaders should be
svnchronized with the British effort so that
the English-speaking peoples of the world
will not be broken in detail The vulner-
ability OF singleness will disappear before
unity of effort. Not too late; not tomorrow,
but today" .t<fu.a

DO WE STARVE OUR MINDS.

H. G.. Wells, the British historian
praises the methods of disseminating mfor-
nation in the United States 9and declares
that this country has population "eager to
learn and greedy to know
After this compliment, Mr.. Wells raises
the question whether we are not sometimes
a little too hasty to know" By this he
means that, as a people, we do not study
thoroughly, preferring to read digests IN
stead of assimilating book, cover to cover.
There is some point to the observation
made by this visiting British author. There
is undoubtedly tendency on the part OF
most of us. to skim through book in
search for startling, shocking or surprising
information instead of soberly seeking to
understand the authors argument and then
test the conclusions presented by timely
blinking on our own part.

TOO WELL KNOWN TO ADVERTISE

Every once in a while we run across
the argument that Key West business con-
Germs do not need advertising in the local
newspaper because everybody knows
about their business
This is an idea that no argument can
erase from the mind of a business man who
has convinced himself that he is too we'll
known to need advertising to remind people
Of what he has To sell.
Few business men here. hOwevef, will
imagine that they are better known than
Coca-Coia which has spent Sl00,0oo.oo0
in advertising in the past fifty years. If ad-
vegtisng a drink, already'we!l known, is
worth two millions year, it might be frofit-
able for ''well-known" local concerns to
seriously consider advertising as a sales
builder for their own operations.
