lT COULD HAVE
BEEN different

Crying over split milk is a pretty use
less business because milk is usually split
by accident.
Crying over spent money is another
thing; money is usually spent by design.
If we learn our lesson the first time, we
can avoid the same error the second.
President Roosevelt's budget message
points a lesson we ought to learn. The
lesson is not to be found in any of the
Presidents words. 1t lies in two things
his figures, and memory.
Bluntly, this is it:
If we had kept tighter hand on wild
New Deal spending before the war, we
would be lot better off now.
We agree with the President fully, as
of today, that "of necessity, the program
will be harsh
The money we're spending now for war
purposes, we've got to spend We've got
TO pay the taxes to raise that money II
we want to go on living as Americans IN
stead of as slaves. If it takes every cent
every one of US makes, we've got to give
il UP 10 the cause of winning the war.
But that needn't stop us from resolv-
ing that never again shall we permit poll
ticians to spend our money, increase our
national debt and finance their own pet
theories as astronomically as they did
during the pre-war period.
We are today as a nation, in the predi-
cament of man who has spent three
fourths of his weekly paycheck on un-
needed luxuries, only to discover before
the week is over that he needs twice as
much as the checks total sum IN order
to meet sudden hospital bill.
All the millions Washington squander-
ed in the lush years Of spending are com
ing home now. When you pay your tax
hal, n
course in the future if you remember
that you are not paying for the war
aIone-you are also paying for those
other years.
In the final analysis, a nation is like
an individual. 1t cannot continually live
above it's income, and still have enough
left in the way of credit to meet an emer-

WE CAN'T SEE II

The farmers cannot understand why
domestic situation should exist in which
5utterfat prices are held down while
dairy labor prices rise, butter is practl-
eallv unobtainable in Americas stores,
and yet butter is shipped to the lend
lease countries by our government.
Russia, offered oleon argerlne, refused
It and insisted upon butter from the Unit
ed States. reports say The United States
sent butter.
The necessity for providing vital food
to the lend-lease nations, we can under
stand. The necessity for sending them
our butter, while we eat substitutes, we
cannot understand We do not object,
and shall not object, to doing everything
that is necessary to keep our allied ma
tions fighting, and to keep their people
and our other potential future allies from
starving. We do object to carrying our
neighborliness to such an extent that we
deprive our own people of certain articles
so that those same articles can be sent to
some other nation.
There is such thing as carrying inter-
nationalism too far There is the danger
in this country that the people will be
preiudiced by such activities to such an
extent that they will go too far IN the
other direction, reverting to strict ma
tionalism.

Axis bases and transport in Tu-

Planes from the Middle East sue
cesSfully bombed Sousse harbor on
Sunday and shot up Axis transport
on the road between Gabes and
SfaX.
Axis forces in Tunisia and Trip
olitania were being hammered from
two sides: by Allied planes based
in North Africa on the west, and
by planes based in Tripolitania on
the east.
(The Federal Communications
Commission heard Radio Algiers
broadcast that American planes
raided CaStel Benito, the most I'M
portant Axis airfield in Tripolita-
mia, yesterday, for the fifth con-
secutiVe day.
AXIS STRONGER
The Middle Eastern Command
and PAF announced that Axis air
activity was steadily growing above
the Tripolitanian battlefield and
Allied fighters had shot down at
least five planes and damaged
many more. Allied planes bombed
and machine gunned retreating
Axis transport between Misurata
and Tripoli Sunday night.
The feeling persisted in London
that Lieut.. Gen. Bernard l.. Mont
gomery's British Eighth Army was
prepared for an immediate blow
against the remnants of the Afrika
Korps before Tripoli.
While Allied planes, attacking
necessarily from both east and
west, were inflicting great losses
on the Afrika Korps, it would take
land victory to wipe out the Axis
forces and keep them from joining
Col. Gen Hans Arnim's army in
Tunisia. There was little chance
the Afrika Korps would execute
such a plan while the powerful
Eighth Army stood idly by
FRENCH MAY HELP
Some quarters believed that the
Eighth Army might be intending
to coordinate its blows with as
saults by two French columns driv-
ing toward Tripoli from Southern
Tripolitania.
A strong French force" accord
ing to Radio Dakar, had driven into
Tripolitania from Tunisia, and now
was 300 miles southwest OF Trlpoll
and fighting for an important 1tal-
ian strong point 25 miles from the
border.
Brig. Gen. Jacques Leclerc's
Fighting French forces from the
Lake Chad region were believed to
be within 300 to 400 miles Of Trip
oil. His latest communique said
his operations were developing sue
cessfully, and his forces were rap
idly developing a military and ad-
ministrative organization in the lib
Grated territory
ARABS n FIGHT
The Meharists, an elite desert
corps of Arabian warriors fighting
under the French flag, were terror
izing and killing many italians in
Tripolitania. In sWirling white
robes, they ride 40 to GO miles a
day, and at dawn drive down upon
the outposts of the italians, whom
they hate.
No quarter is asked and none CIV

are armed with long, dagger-like

guns. They are led by French Of

with Arab tribes for years.

Key West Receives 1900
Pounds OF Meat Last Week

Key West received far greater
quantity of fresh meats last week
than during any other week in
more than four months, Paul G. Al
bury, chairman of the Key West
Area Food Commission. said today,
adding that the credit for the in
crease goes to Lieutenant Com
mander Falcon, civilian relations
officer in Key West, and Lieuten-
ant Commander Price, civilian re-
lations office in Miami, both of
whom cooperated with the local
commission.
I'VE are grateful for what vari-
GUS committees in Miami and
Jacksonville did TO relieve the
food situation in Key West Mr..
Albury stated, "but we got our in
creased poundage of fresh meats
through the activities of Com
manders Falcon and Price.

operation? That S just the Tx the

the city owned the company, it
would have had to pay for what
ever electricity it bought.

Price, and their combined action
resulted in our receiving more
than 1000 pounds last week. Lieu
tenant Commander Falcon even
went to st. Augustine in our be-
half.
'Of course, 1900 pounds are
not sufficient for our needs, as it
provides only about one-half
pound a week for our population,
but it surely is most enhearten-
ing showing over the 5000 we had
been receiving weekly. And / am
sure the people of Key West will
be interested in knowing that
commanders Falcon and Price
are still helping us in getting our
quota of this most essential food
stuff.
Mr.. Albury said that he knew OF
many Key Westers who ate fresh
meats last week for the first time
in more than a month. He is
hopeful that our food problem in
that regard has now been solved.
