BY T. c. DANIEL

LONDON, NOV. - (R -
Prime Minister Churchill grave
ly proclaimed the impending
ruin of Germany today, but
with all the force of his leader
ship and language warned that
in his belief the Nazis' defeat
could not come before 1914.
He asserted solemnly that the
campaigns of next year might
surpass the tragedies of Water
loo and Gettysburg, that unless
some happy event occurs, on
which we have no right to count.
1914 will see the greatest sacri-
flee of the British and United

The British war premier as
serted that the back of the Nazi

brokens'snd thaythe devastating
air war upon the Reich has
been one of the prime forces in
the impending ruin of the Hitler

GRIM PROSPECTS
In an address broadcast 10 the
world, Churchill said Il am my

Europe will be the most severe
and most costly TO the Allies yet
fought.

promises a desperate struggle,
and we cannot exclude the DOS
Siolllty of new forms of attack
upon this island" Churchill
warned in his address at the in
auguaral luncheon of a new lord
mayor OF London.
He repeated later in his adj
dress that "the year 1914 will
see the greatest sacrifice of life
of the British and American
armies"
This year 1914 is also cleo
ton year in the United States"
Churchill said, II am sure I
speak for all those of both sides
of the Atlantic when | say that

goodwill throughout the English
speaking world and aid our
armies"
NEVER GIVE UP
Churchill recalled at the be-

1910 at the height of the blitx
he pledged Great Britain never
TO give up the fight to liberate
peoples from the Nazi yoke
he recalled also he told

would join the United States in

WHY FEED $4,000, 900 ITALIANS?

There seems to be strong impression
in military circles that the occupation of
Italy will not be stupendous task. In fact,
many commentators believe that the Ital-
ians are about ready to quit.
1t should be borne in mind that the oc-
cupation of Italy will not, of itself, serious
ly affect Germany's ability to wage war.
Even if all of Italy is acquired, the Allies
would hardly be able to launch a successful
invasion through the Bremen Pass.
Another matter to be considered. in
connection with any descent upon Italy, is
that if the campaign is successful, the Unit
ed Nations will face the necessity of provid-
ing food for more than 45,000,000 Italians.
1t might be cheaper to take the Italian
islands in the Mediterranean, thus neutral
izing the Italians and leave them alone.
This would, at least, require that Mussolini,
or any succeeding government, feed the
people of Italy.

IMMEDIATE" FAvoRs

If you ask anybody to do you favor,
you don't insist that it be done immediate
ly.' You are aware that if you couple insist
enee with the request the chances are very
much against your having the favor done for
you.
All of which is remindfui of some gov-
eminent. agencies that have grown big
bumps of 5 self-importance. Because they
have government jobs that. in nine out of
10 cases, were obtained through politics,
they think they can ride roughshod ever
everybody and everything in civilian life.
Let us consider the bales on top of bales
of propaganda mailed by agencies to news
papers, every agent bent on boosting its
own interests or supposed interests. From
Washington, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Miami,
The Citizen receives enough such stuff
that, were all of it used, there would not be
left enough space in the entire paper TO
publish line of news.
Now, The Citizen has made it point
to publish as much as possible of the infor-
nation pertaining to new set-ups or changes
in procedure, that is received from govern
ment agencies or sub-agenciess in Key
West, but most of the stuff that is .receiv-
led from the outside either must be thrown
into the wastebasket or all the space in the
newspaper must be turned over to the gov
eminent agencies to air their endless ex-
plantations and counter-explanation about
this and that and a hundred other things.
Size for size, The Citizen is publishing
more government news than any other
paper in Florida In big newspaper offices
carloads of uninteresting stuff are thrown
away, and must be thrown away if the pa
pers are to survive. In view of that fact, you
will understand readily how The Citizen
feels when it receives some long-winded ex-
position of the workings of red tape, with
an accompanying letter asking that the
stuff be published Immediately Think
of that: you are asked to do favor and
then butt into an addendum that you do it
forthwith! FUNK irto the wastebasket
plunges the sheets Of paper, which, in these
times of paper shortage, could have been
put to far better use.
High government officials repeatedly
have commended the newspapers in the
United States for the volumes of space they
have readily granted in efforts to make
plain the intricacies of governmental orders,
but the officials have shown no tendency
to try not to impose on good nature, and not
a few of them, in accompanying letters,
write as though they were buying, not beg
ging, newspaper space.
He is a man worthy of acclaim who is

become presumptuous or insistent.

NO PAIN WITH LEG BLOWN AWAY

= 1t is interesting to read the statement
of Colonel Loren Hillsinger, of Ell Paso,
Texas, who lost leg last August 10Th,
when he went to Dieppe as an air cover OBJ

The Colonel emphasizes that he felt
no pain and no terror only insenate anger.

In the opinion of Senator Harry +.
Byrd, chairman of the Joint Committee on
Reduction of Non-Essential Expenditures
of Congress, says that in his opinion some
of the expenditures for travelling, telephon-
ing and telegraphing of certain agencies OF
the government are so excessive as to war
rant immediate action by Congress. 1t has
been estimated that these expenses over
the period of a year will amount to $780,
100000, and are exclusive of those of the
War and Navy Departments In the lexicon
of our government, the word economy
has been expunged
