Again on this Armistice Day, the
highest dignitaries of the land will
gather at a grave in Arlington Gene
terry to pay honor to the unknown
soldier who represents all who fell in
the last World War.
No one knows who this unknown
soldier is. He may have come from
any part of the nation-from some
teeming factory town or from behind
the plow. No one knows or cares
who or WI a t his ancestors were,
whether he was among the humble or
the favored of fortune, or by what
path he sought to climb to the heights
to sit humbly with his God All that
is known is that he gave his life for
the United States.
What he was, is not of import. 1t
is what he did and what he has pass
ed on to us the living that is vital.
Heroes are an inspiration, not
creed-an altar from which to pro-
gress, not a grave by which to mourn.
We truly honor our dead not by maxi
ing their earthly resting place a spot
of beauty and of peace, but by COM
pleting the task they set out to do.
We dishonor them when we leave un-
done the work for which they gave
their lives.
Unknown means 0 t recognized.
But the task that the Unknown Sold
ier left is recognized by all of us.
He was an Amelican-maybe rich or
poor; maybe Black or White; maybe
Protestant, Catholic or Jew; but not
a German-American, a Russian-Amer-
lean, an Italian-American; not a "son
of the American Revolution, not an
immigrant-but just a citizen of the
United States-an American who low
ed his country and it's ideals of free
dom and equality enough to offer his
life that these ideals of justice and
democracy might not perish.
1t is for us the living to carry Oh
where he left off-to rededicate our.
selves to those ideals which carved
this country from m the wilderness,
formed it into confederation, weld
ed it into a nation, and made it and
its Constitution the hope and the as
piration of the oppressed multitudes
of the Old World. Our pledge of the
continuance of these ideals is t h
wreath of immortelles we must lay
on the grave of the Unknown Soldier
this Armistice Day 1943. 1t is his
right-a"d ou, duty!

CANNIBALISM EXCEPTED

Just to give some of our sentimental
Americans a better understanding of the
nature of our Japanese enemies, we recount
the story of the Rev George Wager, who is
in this country after missionary work in
China.
The Rev. wager was in the Kiangsi
area of China Some of General Doolittle's
flyers landed close by and were assisted by
the missionaries and Chinese residents.
When the Japanese approached, the
missionaries withdrew into the hills some
twenty miles away, and, uponsfhe retreat OF
the Japanese, moved back to- the mission.
They found nothing but destruction ard
6esolation confronting them. s2ss
Farms had been completely laid waste
The whole countryside wreaked of death
in every home The few country people
who stayed, hoping to be allowed to CON
tinue to work in their fields, had been saw
agely tortured and put to death
The Rev. wager says that the few vii
layers who managed to escape death told
stories too brutal and savage to relate Just
one charge was not heard he declared,
"cannibalism. Outside of that" he added,
take your choice and you can't miss the
savage nature Of the japanese army

RIGHT AND JUST AND FAIR

If you make it point always to stand
firmly for what is fair right and just, you
may be sure you will incur the enmity of
good many people. And you may be sure
that what is true cf you applies, with even
greater force, to a conscientious newspaper
Of the type of The Citizen.
The Citizen strikes ard strikes hard TO
protect thesinterests of the people of Key
West, but every time it strikes it creates re-
sentiment among those persons at whom an
editorial is aimed. Sometimes, as is at pres
ent the case, they form blocs to "get back
at The Citizen. They resort to what may be
characterized as boycott, which is viola
ton of the laws of this country, not to adj
vertise further in The Citizen, or to discon-
tinue their subscriptions, but The Citizen
refuses to bulge when it is confident its
stand is promotive of the good of the COM
munity.
While we lose financially for adhering
to what is right and just, we are apprecia-
tive of the commentator of the good peo-
pie of the community. In the long run, that
commentator, even in dollars and cents,
amounts to far more than The Citizen loses
from disgruntled few, stewing in their
petty spites, for the communty's backing is
good will, and, as has happened throughout
this country on many an occasion, good will
has been considered far more valuable than
material assets.
But some readers, who demand, why
doesn't The Citizen do this or do that"
overlook the fact that we take no sides in
purely personal disputes and that we re-
fuse to pull anybody's chestnuts out of the
fire When stories of that nature are given
us, we Immediately ask, "How about saying
you said SOP" which draws burst of ooh,
no, no, nor
What fine thing it would be to hang
it on The Citizen! But The Citizen is Ga
years of age, and newspaper, like man,
who does not acquire some wisdom in that
length of time should fold up his bed and
steal away"
The community's interests are what
The Citizen insists on protecting, and It's
readers should bear in mind that whenever
it stands firmly for those interests, it con-
flicts with special interests that always try
to hit back, but their hitting though it
means the loss of money, is impotent in its
attempts to try to force The Citizen to
swerve an inch from the path that is right
and just and fair.
