JAPs ARE asUPER"-NoTHING

There are any number of Americans
who delight in the belief that the Germans
are "super-fighters' and that any enemy
of this country is endowed with peculiar
properties in time of war.
The hallucination also applies to the
Japanese, but Lieut.-General Arnold
Chief of the Army Air Forces, who has just
returned from tour of combat areas, says
that tests of a Japanese plane exploded"
the theory that the zero is "super-air-
plane"
The test seems to have been unneces-
sary in view of the ratio of losses in fighting
that has occurred between American and
Japanese planes.
Ambassador Grew, who has done a
great service in awakening the people of
this country to the necessity of defeating
the Japanese, is an exponent of the theory
that the japanese fighting mar is also of a
super" type.
Despite our regard for the Ambassa-
doris Judgment we are not inclined to be-
lieve that the japanese soldier will fight
any longer under fire or more eourageously
than the soldiers of the United Nations.
The returns from Guadalcanal and
New Guinea indicate that the Japanese
fight desperately but that our soldiers are,
to say the least, their equal in combat
The time will come when the Jap
anese will face foe, superior in numbers
ard lighting equipment. When that day ar
rlves, the Japanese will prove to be no bet
ter than the Chinese soldier and we doubt
whether ne will take it. as we'll as the
Chinese.

NO ROOM FOR LoAFERs

What Judge William v. Alburv and
Justice of the Peace Enrique Esquinaldo.
Jr. are doing to rid Key West of loafers is
embodied in principle in 'work-or-fight'
billthat is now under consideration in Wash
ington.
1t is referred to as absenteeism. and
one provision of the bill requires all navy
contractors and subcontractors to report 20
local draft boards the names of employees
who stay away from work without cause
Judge Albury and Justice Esquinaldo
are now receiving daily from a competent
and an authoritative source the names OF
workmen in Key West who throw up their
jobs for no other reason than that they don't
want to work, but prefer to loaf and, when
their money runs out, to hang about bar
rooms and other places and bum liveli-
hood.
One such man confessed he could work.
but he s.just didn't want to work.
The scope on which Judge Albury and
Justice Esquinaldo are basing their action
is broader than that contained in the bill.
The bill provides that such shiftless men
WIN VI AiSHl. LoSoliy, diiy oIiS vi -FOUR
things are required of workers: work, fight,
be jailed, or get out of town.
No man who is able to work is going
to loaf in Key West Judge Albury de-
clared. Today we received list of Is men
who had quit their jobs, and every one OF
those men, who can not give good reason
for not working, will be sent to Jail or run
out of town. The housing situation in Key
West is too acute for us to provide rooms
for loafers. Such rooms can be put to bet
ter use; they will be occupied by men who
keenly appreciate the fact that our country
is at war and are determined to do their
part on the home front to help win the war"
Judge Albury added, Lame excuses
will not be accepted by us. Take the case OF
the Naval Hospital, to which an addition is
now being built. One day II out of % men
failed TO report for work, and when one of
them was arrested his excuse was that he
had attended the wedding of his brother the
night before and was too played out when
morning came to go back.t to work. Think of
that! Think of that and at the same time
think of our country's being at war
Go to work, go to jail, join the army,
or get cut of town. That is the edict for
absentee workmen. 1t is an edict that says,
There's no room for loafers in Key West
