No Meat Limit In Fire
Pettigoans on the Northern Ire
land side get half pound of tea
per month. while their Fire neigh
bors get only a quarter pound. They
get four times as much butter. But
the folks in Fire can buy meat un-
linitedly while the others are on
the short British rations. Fire, how
ever, allows visitors to take out 2
pounds of meat weekly, so both sides
live well enough.
The Angler closes at 10 o'clock
British time, year round, but its
customers may and do cross the
bridge to McHugh's and drink
cheaper for an hour longer.
AS for the blackout, it doesn't
mean much to either side even in
the winter when night falls early
There are no electric street lights in
the village and in most homes oil
lamps are used. These don't show
much light even after dark.
Upstream not far from McHughs
is another river Termon bridge with
out custom houses but which is
checked occasionally at night by a
mobile guard. McHugh's pub is
supposed to be the place where folks
planning to smuggle stuff across the
border into Northern Ireland come
to get drink ard kill time or build
courage while associates scout to
smell out the whereabouts of the
mobile guard. If the guard isn't
around, one can whisk across the
second bridge, without duties, into
Northern Ireland.

ANGER MUST NOT MIsLEAD US

The revelation that American filters
who participated in the raid upon Tokyo on
April 10, 1912, have been executed, con-
firms the bestial nature of our adversary
but, in the light of what the japanese have
been doing in the Far East for years, should
occasion little surprise
Naturally, there will be anger against
the depraved brutality of the Japanese
Government which dishonorably executes
soldiers fighting for their country This
anger, however, must not affect our mill
tary decisions or turn us from the strategic
policy which has been adopted and follow
ed by the officials charged with the deter
mination of our war policy.
The people of the United States have
been very patient in their attitude toward
the Japanese. For seven years before Pearl
Harbor, our national policy was one of APP
peasement to Japan and everything was
done to avoid precipitating a conflict in the
Pacific
Despite the sinking of the Panay and
indignities inflicted upon American citi-
zens, the United States, unprepared for war,
had to submit to these humiiatons
While no man can say when the day
will arrive, there will come the time when
American, British and Chinese soldiers will
assume control of Japan On that day, the
rulers of Japan will pay just penalty for
their misdeeds.
The execution of Japanese officials,
military and civil, who have been guilty of
Io .bo Il, Al. A
future generations of Japanese will under
stand the penalties that will follow fright

UP TO BUSINESS MEN

Speaking recently to executives OF
lending financial industrial and business
corporations of New York, Jessie H. Jones,
secretary of Commerce, urged them to plan
for peace, pointing out that after the war
we must find employment for persons will
ing to work by maintaining high levels of
production and this will necessitate the To-
cation of markets for the output of our
farms and factories.
Mr. Jones pointed out that the current
estimate of the probable cost of this war to
the United States is $3.50, 100000 900
Significantly, he added, economic losses re-
ported during the depression period, from
1880 to 1889, totaled more than $3.50, 000,-
600, O00
Obviously, as Mr. Jones declares, if we
are to pay the cost of this war, we cannot
afford another depression, which can be
avoided only if private initiative and private
capital accept the opportunity to replace
the Government in business.
In short, financial, industrial and busl
ness executives must be ready, when peace
comes, with something more than com
plants and criticisms. They must be ready
to lead the world in its postwar develop
ment

WHERE DREAD STALKS

Josef Stain, Russian premier, in his
May Day address, showered a carload of
bouquets on the Raj for its success in blast
ing German war plants and industrial GEN.
tiers. He spoke about the devastation of
great areas in Germany and the curtailment
that would have supplied the Germans and
their allies on the Russian fronts with great
quantities of war material.
Some people are extravaganza in their
assertions about the powerful role airplanes
are playing in the war, while others under
estimate their effectiveness. But, aside from
either of these views it is a fact, fraught
with terrors and horrors that heretofore
gripped the mind only during violent earth
quakes or volcanic eruptions, that the most
destructive instrument of.war the world has
ever known is now dropped from the skies.
A bolt of the most terrific lightning, or
the 18-inch shell of the big gun at Singa-
pore, is, so far as the extent of damage done
is concerned, of minor consequence COM
pared to the blasting powers of four-ton
blockbuster.
production of big things, not only for use in
war but also for employment in times OF
peace 1t was the English, under Winston
Churchil's urging, who brought forth the
ponderous tank in the last world war, but,
despite all his pleadings, it was considered
! too unwieldly weapon. But the Germans,
who are quick and thorough in adapting
| +boxy iol;
ties, demonstrated Churchill's belief in the
tank as a great offensive weapon, when
they made their onslaughts on Poland, Bel
GUM and France in the first six months of
the war.
France, with her so-called best trained
armies in the world, was overwhelmed,
chiefly by the fast-moving behemoth, as
easily as Poland had been in September and
early October of 1889.
Here in Key West, as we'll as else
where throughout the world an element OF
unbelief ran through the town talk when
newspapers published stories that the Eng
lish were using two-ton bombs. Two tons
Of the highest explosives the world has ever
known falling in one bomb It's destruction
was comparatively so vast it was not long
before it was dubbed the "blockbuster.'
And then, before the surprise had
died away over the production of the block
buster, news came out of London that the
Raj was using four-ton bomb-8,000
pounds of buiding-wrecking, earth-shud-
dering destruction Blockbuster was not
sufficient characterization of the four-ton-
ner, so uper-blockbuster was born.
Twenty miles away from where the
super-blockbuster strikes, the earth quakes,
and in radius of four miles almost every
window pane or plate-glass window is shat
tered.
Despite his high praise, Stain under
estimated the Raj contribution to the Win
ming of the war It's material contribution
is great, but its psychological is greater.
Dread stalks throughout Germany today,
and, where dread stalks, morale can not be
maintained.
