MR.. GOETTE OPENS: II Is de-
featism to argue that we cannot con-
quer Japan without Russia China
and America can do 1t. Our military
leaders base our strategy upon the
assumption that we must fight and
win without Russia in the Pacific.
Russian entry into the war against
Japan would vastly accelerate VIC
tory especially If she could swiftly
seize bombing bases In Korea and
Manchuria but on the other hand
success for Japan would bring her
bombing planes much nearer Amer
lea from captured northern Siberian
bases. In any case there would re-
main the mopping up in the Pacific
Islands. China. Malaga, Burma. the
Philippines. and the Indies. That
would be our task whatever the di-
rect strategy applied In reducing
Japan proper. Russia would not UNI
dertake this and certainly Britain
and the Netherlands WOULD not want
her in their colonies. Thus IL Russia
does come In she would deal with
Japan. Korea and Manchuria while
we woula have japanese Asia to re-
conquer. Let's have no more wishful
thinking in the Pacific. Japan does
not lean on Germany to beat US. We
must not lean on Russia to whip
Japan. To avoid establishment we
must plan and expect to win in the
Pacific without European assistance
of any kind. Don't falsely emphasize
Nazism over Japanism; don't over
look the .stupendousness Of japanese
Asia: don't pdit for Russian help.
MR.. vANDERcOOK cHAL.
LENGES: Mr.. Goette fears Russia
This is total war. It Is ridiculous and
dangerous to chance the future
worlds peace by schemihg against
Russian participation In the war
against Japan. If our military leaders
base their strategy on Chinese
American defeat Of Japan, without
Russian help, why the hesitancy in
getting military supplies to China?

FAIR AND JUST THING

The Citizen has watched CLOSELY he
news that is coming out of Tallahassee and
hes also read comments of political writ rs
next Tuesday, and, while thousands OF
words have been used in considering what
new ways and means can be adopted 10
raise more money by taxation, not a siAelel
word has been said about whiting d6Mi1
this or that expense. 10 tsa anal I'M eeerFl
As The Citizen remarked abfewl9latls
ago. the state, the counties and The cities,
with their Golfers buiging, are net giving 4
single thought to economy; instead, they
are scratching their heads in trying to think
up new ways to spend money.
Here in Key West the city is en- a
drunken spending spree. Some employees
who have been drawing their salaries 1egu-
larly-salaries that were fixed by law
have arranged to have bill passed in the
legislature to give them "relief," and this
relief takes on the form of increased sal
aries, and the worst thing of all, the propos-
ed bill, if it becomes law, is retroactive
that is, the "relief'' will go back 10 such
time as it was first asked for-the time
when twas squelched by The Citizen on the
ground that it was illegal for The city to pay
any such morey. ! ne mo. rs -
a Now, The Citizen is not maintaining
that the city employees ii Question are re-
ceiving enough alreadysfqr their services.
Neither does The Citizen oppose The in
creasing of the salaries by legislative act
The thing The Citizen is unalterably against
is the increase in pay while the men are
serving their present term.
For that reason solely, The Citizen is
against the proposal of those Key West pub
lie officials, who are seeking to have their
salary raised while they are serving their
present term. The people elected chem 10
serve at the salaries they are getting now;
if they consider those salaries inadequate,
have them increased by legislative act but
let the increase apply at the expiration of
their terms of office.
That's the fair and just thing to do
For instance, the state senators and
representatives can pass law increasing
the salaries of those offices, but it is uncon-
stitutional for such increases to GO into eff
ent term. They can not boost their own SAL
aries to apply to current service, and there
should be law too that would prohibit
them from increasing the salaries of other
public officials during their current term

Promotions from one class or

The city government intends,

where such transfers will result
in more effective work and will
lessen the necessity for making

val by the City Manag ger: unused
portions of leave will expire at
the close of the next succeeding
fiscal year, except in unusual ca
SEES: employees voluntarily separat-
ed from service will be entitled to
compensation for unused portions
of their leave.
Sick Leave
Any of the unused sick leave

of service) may be accumulated
from one fiscal year to the next
to maximum of go days carry
ing full pay. After so days have
been accumulated, an employe in
service less than 10 years may
continue to accumulate an addi-
tional 60 days, for which he will
be paid so per cent of his salary;
after 10 years Of service, he is en-
titled to accumulate sick leave,
with full pay up to 120 days. After
employees have been with the city
20 years, they may begin to ac-
cumulate an additional 20 days
sick-leave at half-pay.
In order to put the matter of
leave on a definite basis, the SER
vice record of each present en-
ploye, up to July l, l943, will be
compiled, and the amount OF sick
leave which would have been
accumulated without sickness de-
termined. This amount will be oil
vided in half.
Leaves of absence without pay

ment heads with the approval OF
the City Manager, for a period not
to exceed one year.

Quoted into the armed forces may
expect to return to their JOBS

honorable discharge, providing the

Absence from work without

the right to declare the position
vacant, unless the absence is sat
isfactorily explained.
In case of death, or serious ILL
ness in the immediate family, reg
ular employees may be granted
leave of absence with pay for a
period not to exceed three days.
System Of Reports
The City Manager will install
system whereby department
heads will report semi-annually on
the performance Of all employees.
The reports will be carefully
maintained under his supervision,
and will serve as guide in the
matter of promotions, demotions,

seven-day notice Of dismissal, or
shall be paid for one weeks work
if separated at the time OF notice
OF dismissal, provided he has been
employed by the city for one con-
secutive year or more.
Reduction In Employees
When it is necessary to reduce
the number of employees on the
city pay roll, because of lack OF
works or funds, the City Mana
ger, comforting with department
heads, will undertake thorough in
vestigation of the problem. In
determining the employees to be
affected, the service ratings, and
length of service to the city, will
be considered.
Quoting directly, ''City employees
are neither appointed to, nor re-
tanned in, the service upon the
basis of their political activities.
In return, while city employees
may exercise their right of stuff
rage as citizens and engage in
normal political activities, it is
deemed for the best interest OF
the municipal government that
they do not participate in mum
cipal election campaigns. This
applies whether an employe is on
or off duty
The City Manager will welcome
suggestions from department
heads and employees for improv-
ing the personnel system. Excep-
lions to the rules may be made al
the discretion of the City Manager
in cases involving exceptional cir.

ment, and city-county employees
remain subject to the action Of
their respective civil service com.

According to Mr.. Nichols, there
are at present 81 persons whose
tenure of service with the city
exceeds 10 years. One employe
has worked for the city continu
ously for Sc years.
In connection with initiation Of
the new program, central person
mel files and records are to be
established that will include com
plete information on every city
employee. Maintenance of the files
and details concerning the han
ding of personnel and ratings
data will be in charge of Free
