WE CAN NOT NEGOTIATE

Bleathless expectancy swept over this
country when newspapers and radios an
nOunced that an important message, the
most momentous of the war, would be given
the peoples of the United Nations at 10
o'clock Tuesday night.
There were all Sorts of conjectures.
Here in Key West, some people said Hitler
and Mussolini had agreed to capitulate
others, that an about offensive was to be
launched against Japan itself, and still 9TH
ers, that an announcement would be made
that the war, in the Pacific, as we'll as in the
Atlantic, would be ended soon.
While the real news did not come up to
ones expectancy, yet it contained a mes
sage that should prove highly satisfying to
every person in the United Nations. That
message was that there will be still further
cohesion among the Allies in conducting
smashing offensives that ultimately will
crush the Axis powers.
That is good news Even the disputa-
tiOus French in North Africa, according to
the statement, are now agreed to set aside
their political differences and to join to the
Allies are planning to make.
1t is not as easy as it may appear on the
surface to engineer absolute cohesive strik-
ing force by the Big Four in the Allied Ma
lions. Their resources in fighting men have
been estimated at 40,00O,000, with more
than one-haf of that number under arms.
Now, more so than at any other time since
the war started, the Allied Nations will
strike as one man, and that cohesion will
appreclably shorten the war.
Aside from the satisfaction in knowing
that the Allies will strike in unison, there
was an element of establishment, mixed with
admiration, in learning that our President
had travelled in the air over more than 5, 900
miles of the Atlantic and other bodies of
water to reach Casablanca, in Morocco,
where Roosevelt and Churchill conducted
their conference.
Some Americans thought there is law
prohibiting president from leaving Amer
lean soil, but one does not have to go back
far to recall that Wilson went to Europe,
after the first World War, and Taft, who
passed through Key West, went to Panama
shortly before his term of office expired in
1913.
Finally, the chief condition agreed on
at the conference, unconditional surrer-
der" is in accord with the sentiment of
every true-blue American We can not ne
gotiate with men who, because of their in
ordinate cupidity, have washed the world
in human blood

WOULD PUNISH THE PARENTS

The proposal of the West Virginia
judge that the grand jury indict parents,
through whose neglect children are per-
mitted to become delinquent, may not be so
bad, after ALL
Judge Clay S. Grouse points out that
children "as young as ten years of age have
been apprehended in the act of crimes and
asks, who else but parents could be re-
sponsible?"
There is no getting around his pro-
nouncement against parents who carelessly
and negligently let their children roam the
streets and acquire evil habits. These par
ents fail to carry out social responsibility
and it is not altogether absurd that they be
held for trial
Parents are now, under the law, re-
sponsible for some of the civil damage that
their children inflict upon others. If the
type, to whom the judge refers, suspected
that criminal court would take action
against them for the unfaithful perform
ance Of their duties to their children, there
would be less juvenile crime.

SEVEN TONS PER SOLDIER

Since our military forces have seized the
Initiative and launched offensive opera
tons, the production load placed upon IN
dustry has been tremendously increased.
. No longer is industry producing only for
lend Lease, training camps, and ware
houses. 1t is now producing for active, of
fensive fronts whichEare using up wearing

For every soldier who landed in Africa
seven tons of equipment and supplies were

this, we must send these forces one and
half tons per month per man as long as ne

The opening of new front in Africa by
American forces will practically double the
demand for production in many war plants.
With no doubling of supply of skilled
workers in sight, industrial management
must meet this test by increasing its already
heavily burdened production machinery IN
every possible way

ABOUT YOUR ENEMIES

Editor, The Citizen:
So many remarks are being
made here of late about loving
your enemies" l feel that l would
like to ask for a small space in
your paper to say something on
the subject.
When we hear a person say or
quote. Love your enemies, a
number of bigotes will rise up
in hot anger, ready to call them
spy, Communist, or what not,
as if the saying, Love your enc
mics, originated in the mind OF
the person who is heard to say or
quote it.
When a person teaches us to
love our enemies, of course he
does not mean to embrace all of
their heathenish ideas and aims.
But it means to love the Ger
mans, JapS and the Italians in
the sense that they might be won
to Christ, the one who gave us
this divine rule to go by that
the enemy might then be a
Christian and a sane thinking
person.
And in Saturdays issue of The
Citizen the editor, on the edi-
torial page, quoted the saying of
Christ, Let not your heart be
troubled, and he heartily en-
dorsed that, but in the same col
umn he said we should mobilize
a few regiments of the people
who preached fLove your enc
mics" and Send them to fight
the enemy and see how they
come out
This was said in a clinical way
if we endorse one of Christ's
teaching. Did he not know what
He was saying in the rest of His
sayings?
Yours truly,
QUENTIN SHORTES.

FIVE BROTHERS LOST ON ONE SHIP

The heaviest blow suffered by any
single American family since Pearl Harbor,
and probably in our naval history, is that
experienced by Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas S.
Sullivan, of Waterloo, Iowa, who lost five
sons when the Cruiser Juneau went down
in the blazing battle off Guadalcanal.
The brothers, it is reported, joined the
navy with the provision that they not be
separated. Navy officials point out that this
violated established policy which divides
members of families in wartime service The
idea is to prevent wholesale grief for any
family.
The brothers are reported missing in
action" but the possibility exists that one
or more of them may have reached an iso-
lated beach following the sinking of their
ship in November Certainly, every Amer
lean hopes so.

CAPT. GAMMANS OPENS: The
conception of the British Empire as
Imperialism has been out Of date for
at least 40 years, since Great Britain
gave full self-government to the
Beers within four years Of defeating
| them.
Today, the British Empire. or Com
monwealth, is a ladder on which
many races climb toward complete
self-government. Canada, Australia,
New Zealand and South Africa, have
long since attained complete indie
pendence, as will India and Burma,
as soon as they resolve their internal
difficulties. Ceylon and Rhodesia
| have nearly reached the top.
While this conception OF world
relationship has many shortcomings
it has passed the acid test-it has
worked Canada came into this war
of her free accord, as did the other
Dominions. For one whole year the
British Empire stood on the breach
alone. II any justification is required
for its existence, that is the answer!
A larger world order may follow this
war. The United States may accept
obligations for world security. The
British Commonwealth may be
merged into something bigger. But.
until that happens ! am not pre-
pared to break up the Empire, which
with all its imperfections has brought
peace, security, liberty and increas-
ing self-government to men of many
races and colors.
MR.. FLYNN CHALLENGES: Does
Capt. Gammans really believe that
| domination of India's 300 million
today is "out-dated" by granting
freedom to South Africa's 10 million
40 years ago? If Britain in India is
not imperialism. what Is it? What Is
falling Gandhi and Nehru, machine
cunning Indian protestants in the
streets with approving cheers in the
House of Lords? Is that democracy?
Capt. Gammans denies this is i'm
perialism. Then England has no inn
perialism to cure. Hence we can ex-
pect nothing. But America is not
going to underwrite an empire peace.
True, England fought alone. What
has that to do with this question?
CAPT. GAMMANS REPLIES: You
cannot confer self-government on
any one as a present. Certain con-
ditions of education, political ex-
perience, ETC., must exist first. This
talk about holding subject peoples"
is nonsense. Mr.. Flynn would be In
stronger position to lecture Great
Britain if he could say when the
colored citizens of the United States
are likely to enjoy full social. po--
litical and economic rights. /
AS to suggestions America might
be fighting this war to help England
hold what she has, America did not
come into the war to save the Brit
ish Empire, but because she was
attacked at Pearl Harbor.

John T.. Flynn
Writer, Economist, Lecturer and Col
un.nisf; Author of "Mea Of Wealth"

MR.. FLYNN OPENS: BY British
Empire aims I do not refer to the
ight for safety of the 30 million
people in Britain's self-governing
commonwealth. but to the 400 mil
lion who live In political bondage In
her Asiatic and African empire.
No fair-minded man will blame
present-day England for the ruth
less conquests by which these coun-
tries were seized and exploited. They
were taken by a former aggressor
England. But present-day England
cannot escape the stigma Of agrees
sion if she continues to hold and ex-
plot these disfranchised millions
Will she do so? Mr.. Churchill says:
I'VE will hold what we have"
Britain cannot hold what she has
without counting endless wars with
the enslaved peoples-now awaken
ing-and with other aggressors who
covet her conquestS. ANY peace
founded on the principle that Britain
and Britain alone can seize and hold
subject peoples will be a sham. 1t
cannot last. And America could never
associate herself with it for it would
mean that we too must fight those
wars to help England "hold what she
has" The quicker Britain extends
self-determination to her subject
peoples the surer America will be
that she is fighting for democracy
and not some form Of holy agrees
sion.
CAPT. GAMMANS CHALLENGES:
Great Britain has stated she is pre-
pared to hand over full independence
to India after the war. There is one
question: Who takes over; the Con-
gress Party, Moslems, the Princes,
the Untouchables?
II India is handed over 70 Gandhi
and Nehru now, the Moslems will
fight the issue. The best proof the
Congress does not represent the
whole of India is that recruiting of
the Indian Army rose from an aver
age of so thousand to 20 thousand a
month when Gandhi was interned.
Gandhi and Nehru can come out
of Jail tomorrow if they will call off
their sabotage campaign.
MIR. FLYNN REPLIES: The Con-
gress Party has never demanded In
dia be delivered to it. Britain has
never promised full" independence.
only freedom full of impossible Ifs"
A British statesman 63 years ago
said Indian disunity was the strong
est point in Britain's policy. Britain
has promoted it. AS evidence-last
month representative of Moslems,
Hindus, Christians reached a tenta-
tive agreement and asked to see the
jailed Gandhi. Britain refused. What
do suggest? An offer in good faith
to a conference of all Indian parties
to discuss and reach agreement, and
the release Of India's jailed leaders.
