THE AIRCRAFT PICTURE

The American aircraft industry, which
employed more than million workers dur
ing The war, now has about 125,000 work
eIs. b. contrast the British industry has
100000 employees according to figures in
an Associated Press news story.
From the same source we learn that
Inc Navy has plans to purchase 1888 planes
by July. 1947, and the Army's plan in
wolves 2,120 by July, 1948. By contrast
the British industry has orders for more
than 10000 military planes.
If these figures are accurate, and we
know Of no reason to doubt their authen-
ticity, it is easy to see what is happening
to the American aircraft industry. 1t is
also clear that the Wanted superiority of
our air forces is not to remain fact unless
something is done to secure more aircraft

NOTHING SURPRISING

So-called secret assurance that the
United States advised the japanese Gov
eminent that, in carrying out the Potsdam
declaration, it would see that Japanese
soldiers who surrendered were returned
to Japan, should surprise nobody.
The Japanese, at the time of their
surrender, were without shipping and if
Japanese soldiers, stationed in other lands
were not TO remain in the foreign countries
the victorious allies had to
provide FOR their return.
The eiIor: to play up this necessary
undertaking as softening of the ultima
,um addressed to Japan is nonsensical 1t
has long been the assumption that sur
rendered troops become charge on vic
torious forces.

He shook his head and let her
alone, but conided to his wife
that he was deeply worried about
Anne.
do you suppose she's still eat
ing her heart out for that young
sailor?" he wanted to know.
I'm sure it's not that Wayne
asked her to marry him again,
and she turned him down fat.

that Major Lowell has something

Maybe there's something hold

know that he said that because he
thinks she's in love with Wayne.
Oh, dear-it's got me worried al
most sick! I believe she could
walk if she had this worry off
her mind"
"I'm sure of it," her husband
answered. We'll, [ guess there's
nothing for us to do but be
patient"
THE leaves turned brown and
l. red and yellow overnight.
There were days now when Anne
had to stay inside by the big open
fireplace, but whenever it was
possible she insisted on being
taken out under the big old tree.
From there she could see the bit
tersweet splitting its FURNISHED
blossoms along the low foothills
and could hear the desolate call
of the wild geese flying sopth-

\ NNE looked at Wayne stand
"A ing there beside her bed and
smiled sadly as she shook her
head. I'm sorry, Wayne-but it's
all gone. That lovely feeling I
had for you. II just don't have
it any more. I'm sorry-but that's
the way it is!''
But Anne, if try hard to win

mo, Wayne-I'm sorry-but
there's no use talking about it.
It's just-all over. And Wayne,

He went away after time, still
not sure that he had lost her, still
confident that something would
happen to change her mind.
DR.. Patterson came in to tell
her goodbye. Give got to be get

now to leave you with the doctors

She held his hand very tightly.
"I'll never, never forget you, Doc

coming to help me-"
Perhaps I have repaid in some
little part our debt to you, my
dear!"
Her mother had given her John
Lowell's message-that he would
not come again unless she sent
for him. And that, she resolved,
she must not do again.
She had seen the notice of
Madeline Cartons divorce in the
newspaper and had come to the
place where she avoided reading
anything but the headlines, for
fear she would find the announce

or marriage to John. She lived in
a constant state of suppressed
emotion--a blending of fear and
despair that held back her COM

she should have been walking by

MIND IS DOMINANT

We were wondering today what we
would use as q subject for an editorial
when a Key West minister spoke about how
man became master of the world, though
many OF the lower animals were swifter
and stronger than he.
The illustration he used is of especial
interest TO Key Westers who are familiar
with lish in local waters. Any Conch, who
has anrled in local waters, will tell you that
The gray snapper is the wisest" and one
Of the sWiItest fish in the sea hereabouts.
lie, if we may apply that pronoun to
gray snapper, is so swift that many local
sehelmen make no attempt to scoop him
OFT Of q we'll if he is there alone, or with
t.ro or three other fish or other gray snap
rers.
The minister told a story of going to
market to buy a gray snapper and found
q fisherman who had two in his we'll, to-
9othor with a grouper. The fisherman
sid, regarding the snappers:
GIL get them out of the we'll when I
pull UP my boat to repant the bottom
"Why can't YOU get them out now?"
The minister asked.
The fisherman smiled superiority. "You
get them out and you can have them
The minister took the scoop and made
dozen attempts to catch the snappers,
but, a. he remarked, They were altogether
too swift for me. BY the time the scoop
touched the water where they were, they
were at the other end of the we'll. looked
down It them and remarked, We'll, we'll,
defeated by fish. Then the thought came
10 me that man is where he is today because
Of his being able to out-think any of the
lower animals 1t was through his men
tality that he found ways to overcome the
length o the elephant or the swiftness of
inc fastest quadruped. Let's see if l can't

He said he had noticed that every
time he snappers stopped, after being

placed the scoop beside the grouper, and

he was TANGLED in it when I took him out.
Then I put the scoop beside the grouper
for the other one, and had him in a minute
or two"

Russia To Use Prisoners

Russia did not sign on the dotted line and
convention She may do pretty much as she
likes with German war prisoners. Reports that
Moscow intends to use them for rebuilding
areas destroyed in the German drive across
Russia are proving true Thousands upon
thousands of Germans in Romana have been
transported to Soviet soil. There is a report
also that other thousands are being moved
from Yugoslavia by Marshal Tito's orders.
Seventy thousand from Romania and 1OO,-
OOO from Yugoslavia-these are the figures
gwen by John M. HightoWer in Associated
Press dispatch from Washingtonasrepresen
ing the movement of German nationsls both
men and women, into Soviet Russia There is
no figure available of the number of enemv
exceed Hightower's total by many thousands
IT Russia gets full days work out of them
all. the job of restoring devastated territory
will go forward with speed, especially as Rus
STA will have a great amount of American
machinery and tools for them to use.
But it is the testimony of Americans and
French in Europe that German war prisoners
do not do a full days work. Instead they
lean on their shovels or hoe handles as WPA
crews used to do over here
At that. however, Russia can expect to have
much OF the demolition done by Germans
cleared away and be in position to utilize
the skilled prisoners in rebuilding operations
before the war has actually terminated
There is poetic justice in making these
super race Germans clean up after their
orgie OF destruction. Despite the humanitarian
purposes Of the Geneva Convention it could
almost be wished that Britain and the United
States werenot among its signatory powers.
The Germans have violated it so contemptuou
from the start Of the war and practiced such
barbarities upon the prisoners they have taken
that little Of their own medicine seems
justified. With such an enemy, it is handi-
cap to be so civilized and respect tn human
