SPAIN FREES SOME MASONS

The news comes from Madrid, Spain,
that the Franco Government has released
most of the Free Masons who were being
held as political prisoners.
1t is difficult to understand the perse-
cution of Free Masons in Spain, where, for
some time, an individual could be impris-
oned solely on proof of Masonic affiliation.
The Masons in Spain, it seems, have
been blamed for most of the misfortunes
that came to the country. A popular book
accuses the Masons of causing the majority
of Spain's ills, including the loss of Cuba
and the formation of the Popular Front
that brought on the Civil War
Until there is some convincing proof
that the Spanish government is willing to
accord individual citizens of Spain the
same liberty and freedom that civilized
people enjoy in modern nations, there is
not much prospect that Spain will take its
place among the foremost nations of the
world

JAPS' LAST CHANCE

Completion of the conquest of Okl-
nawa is a time for decision on the part OF
The Jap enemy. Okinawa not only is an
ether in an uninterrupted series of Ameri-
can victories by land and sea, but it places
American air forces virtually on the door
step Of the home islands.
The Japs know. or at least their lead
ere can have no doubt, that they have not
the slightest hope of ultimate victory. On
the contrary. they need only have observed
the history of Pacific operations since Mac
Arthur undertook the reduction of Port
Moresby to know that their doom is al
ready sealed. that it is only matter of
time.
Their decision. therefore, is whether they
prefer. as Hitler did, to invite and accept
the almost total destruction of their coun-
ny or 20 accept the verdict of fate and to
b0w to superior American strength at once.
They will have a little time to think
the matter over. II will require several
weeks. one may assume, for American
forces in the Pacific to prepare the often
siye against the home islands. There is the
matter of transferring several millions of
troops from Europe to their new Pacific
posts.
IN the meantime, American air forces
win provide additional reason for consid-
Grafton by the Jap leaders of the appro-
priateness OF surrender. If given time, there
b no doubt that American airmen will be
capable Of razing every Jap city, town and
- ~ e IL hot l. Ill
remains Of almost one hundred square miles
Of enemy cities.
Probably the rumors of peace offers
now being placed through Moscow are in
accurate, but if the Jap leaders have a
yestige OF brains there can be little doubt
that such offers will be received before the
American offensive against the home is
lands i launched

IT'S SARCASM, SENATOR LEWIS

The deadlock in the Florida legisla-
ture, caused by the senators from the north,
has become so ridiculous, would-be poets
are turning out would-be funny doggerel
about the "solons" in the northern reaches
of the state.
Way up yonder in the cornfield, the
politicos, fearful of losing their hold on the
state if they do what is right and just and
fair, are quibbling about dozen and one
things to try to demonstrate that they are
not to blame.
But they can't fool the people, even in
their own bailiwick, because The Citizen
feels that every conscientious man in north
Florida is aware that what the senators
from that part of the state are doing is
against the constitution.
There has been some talk about taking
the deadlock into the supreme court of the
United States, though what procedure VIII
be followed in an action of that nature is
out OF our range of legal technicalities.
Surely, there must be some way out.
The bullheadedness of the north Florida
senators has reached that stage that calls
for drastic action of some kind.
The best weapon probably is ridlcule.
Several papers in the state have pinked one
Lewis, the leader of the deadlockers, with
quips that are so subtle he may look upon
the sarcasm as commentator.

WAVES AS NAVICATORS

For the first time in the nations his
tory. women are now eligible for member
ship in military flight crews. 1t is the Navy
that has made this innovation by making
50 officers of the WAVES air navigators
Their services are not limited to the navi-
cation OF planes over the territorial United
STAGES. They may serve as navigators over
vast stretches of ocean to Hawaii and the
Aleutisns.
These 80 young women have qualified
By the same hard training as that of men
selected for similar assignments. They will
not. of course, be sent to combat areas.
When the story is told of American wom-
ems part in the war, high place will be
given to both WAVES and WACs for their
ability and willingness to do the work of men
even under most trying and dangerous con-
ditioRs.
