sugar Is q major and vital part of this
rountry's diet. particularly those in the
low Income brackets. Sugar is the least
expensive 81 all the basic foods 1t is high

Housewives and the industrial users
want an adequate supply of sugar at all
times 81 reasonable price. There doesn't
seem 10 be any doubt about that.
Cuba. the largest sugar producer in
ne World. has been prepared to make
asailahle just such an adequate supply,
according to the United States Cuban
sugar Council in New York City, but has
often been prevented from doing so by
restrictions imposed by the Y. S. Govern
ment
NO one viii need to fear a sugar
shortage, even in wartime" said recent
statement b. the Council, IF the sugar
trade between the United States and Cuba
we're put on sounder basis
L. y Government figures show that
Cuba supplied almost 60 per cent of the
total sugar made available to the United
States and the Allies in World War | and
over half the supply made available in
World War ii. Cuba has maintained,
throughout war years, its high sugar pro-
dnetion record when other suppliers of
me Y. : market. for one reason or an
other, have been unable to do so.
Cuba. according to official figures at
Washington. can produce sugar at lower
sost than any other major U. S. grower.
Cuba has demonstrated both the capacity
and the willingness to ship an adequate
supply Of sugar to U. S. consumers.
Susar-hungry Americans can serve
their own best interests by insisting that
iow-eost Cuban sugar reaches their dining
tables and the plants which use sugar for
many ether kinds Of foodstuffs.

LET US BE ABOUT OUR BUSINESS

A difference of opinion should be re-
specteG. Especially at this time in the his
tory of Key West when we do not know
exactly what the future course of the city
will be.
You cannot eradicate a difference of
opinion by merely shouting at It. That Hit
leresque trait was useless especially in the
day when American CTS closed in on the
very palace where Hitler IN the closing
days of the war and the loud shouting of
the falling dictator made no difference in
the ultimate end. Loud sprees of emotion
of this sort show lack Of stability. They
never accomplish anything.
There are many differences of opin-
ion in Key West at present. There are
many shows fer power. An election in
civic club right now is signal for forces
to get lined I'D. But the important point is
that in the American way the majority OF
votes brings decision clear to all.
This is a time not only of local dis
Sension but also of national dissension. IF
there we're not need for healthy critical
attitude OF those who are in power then
there should not be Democrats and Repub-
licans. Long before the war when Repub-
leans were not well bearing their respon-
sibilities and the need for new deeds be-
came apparent, the Democrats went into
power and those new things were. done
There. is fitness of things which brings
this about. When the mango is ripe enough
il falls to the ground
The only danger to criticism is I'M
healthy or destructive criticism. In the
pessimism Of FERA days here in Key West
that became real danger to Key West.
It shoald be guarded against. Remember
these things in criticism. Is it truei Is it
fart Does it need correction The next
step is simple. Correct the situation!
In correcting situation it should be
brought to the responsible body. If that
body then hens and haws or fails to act,
the next step is equally clear Do it your
self or through another body which is live
enough to get the accomplishment over.
The main thing right now is to get
Key West up to modern city's pace. The
only way ever invented to do, this is for
Mr.. and Mrs. Key Wester to roll up their
sleeves and. each accomplish some woak
for the good Of the city, either individually
or through 4 club committee. I his NJ

SAW ENEMY IN THE DARK

The army now reveals that by the use
of infra-red rays, American soldiers on the
front lines in the Far East, were able to
see enemy soldiers who tried to sneak up
in the darkness toward the American
lines
As the reader probably knows, mira
red rays enable one, with the use of a
special device, to see in the blacklist dark
ness. Thus when Jap soldier began to
squirm through No-mans Land, the
American soldier, with his special con-
traption, could see what the enemy soldier
was up to and, consequently, take effec-
tive aim. a
Another use for the device was in con-
nection with truck drivers who could go
speeding down the road without lights
and, thanks to the infra-red rays, see al
