They know that it is not the purpose of this nation to fight unless forced to do so by outside aggression. Understanding that the business of fighting is not a holiday affair and that ir modern wars soldiers must be trained men, the mothers and fathers of the young men who have registered appreciate the neces- sity and importance of adequate training. | They prefer that their sons, if they must fight, be equipped for their ordeal and that they have, at least, an equal chance with an enemy. In this spirit the people of the United | States, including those of ‘Key West, have | accepted compulsory service in time of peace: .

THE BATTLE FOR OIL In his invasion of Rumania and taking control of that country’s oil fields, Hitler has cone what most low. The bombing raids on England are taking | enormous quantities of gasoline daily, in addition to other consumption. But Rumanian oil alone will not solve the gasoline problem for Germany and Italy, according to the Oil and Gas Journal! | of Tulsa, Okla., which states that Rumania | produces only 125,000 barrels of crude oil | a day, while her domestic consumption is about 50,000 barrels a day. Italy produces no oil, while Germany’s production is mostly synthetic, and it is not believed that Russia will have much oil to spare, even if Stalin and the Axis remain | The next nearest large | on friendly terms. | FLORIDA'S NEW. “SALESMAN”—Action scene studios of Columbia Broadcasting System as Mary Ma noted writer and columnist who is “selling” Florida northern consumers via the Florida Citrus Commission’s new radio show, talks things over with Luther L.

Yugo-Slavia, together with Bulgaria and Tur- |key, determined this morning to deciare their nations neutral. In the latter nation, however, the situation was said to be grave. Consensus of opinion was that the Turks would fight rather than submit to aggression.

Experts declare that these great oil fields, in Persia and Iraq, are hardly with- in Germany’s reach, especially if Turkey should resist Germany’s move in that di- rection. In the unlikely event that they could be taken, the diffiewlties of trans- | portation would be almost‘insurmountable. The output of these fields is transported to the sea, which Britain still controls, by pipe lines and railroads which could be easily destroyed if their capture seemed immi- nent.
