Sic ’im, Joe! Appropriately on the lot in Key West where recently iniquity reigned supreme the word of God is being broddeast, j “Give us the tools and we will finish the job,” exclaims Churchill. Tools, how- ever, is our own defense problem, as Knud- sen has so often repeated. Why does the Administration in Wash- | ington always find some excuse to entangle itself ir the European imbroglio? The wish apparently father to the thought. “Ii it is true that England cannot win the war against the Axis powers without the aid of the United States, but will win with that aid, then there should be some | understanding between the two nations right now what in the way of compensation | Unele Sam might expect besides the glory of wharing in the peace negotiations if the aid is rendered. s ago The Citizen editorfaliy’ opposed the introduction of a parking meter tem by the then constituted courteflmanic | On December 24 last year this column advocated a trial of e meters * regulate Duval! tion and incidentally to hePp reduce city taxes.” It was alse stated the natter of resulting graft must be considered if and when such system is adopted.

Failure of citizens to press charges against petty thieves when they are caught s another reason for infrequent arrests. Most people seem to feel that if their goods are returned there is no point in pressing charges which will send a man to jail over the matter of a few cents. The obvious fact that thieves who find they need have no fear of arrest are likely to continue stealing doesn’t seem to occur to the kind hearted victims. Regardless of excuses on both sides, however, it is time Key West citizens and law enforcement officers show a little co- operation and stamp out petty thievery, If you see someone stealing, report it.

PERIL IN FAR EAST Final psa of the Lend- Lease Bill is expected this week, with the result that assistance to Great Britain will be immdiately speeded and interesting announce- ments can be expected. The leg- islation is based upon acceptance of the idea that the defense of the United States requires the continued resi ce of the Brit- ish people. Consequently, mate- rial assistance will be dispatched to strengthen British urces in their weakest categories. When the question of aid to Great Britain is considered, one of the first problems is.produc- tion gf the necessary This\ts being taken care of and, in time, the volume of supplies, will be tremendous. Afterwards, and just ‘as important if the strategy of this courgry is to “Succeed, copies the question of ‘delivery. Here the intensive sub- matine and aerial campaign of Germany against British ‘ casts an ominous shadow across the American purpose. The Lend-Lease Bill has been described by supporters as a measure designed to keep this country out of war and by op- ponents as a device to put us in- to the war, Obviously, there is a measure of truth in both asser- tions. Behind the unusual statute is the realization that the fate of this country will be endangered by Germany’s victory and, conse- quently, steps short of war which prevent Hitler’s triumph protect the United States. If the nation becomes “an ar- senal of democracy” and provides sufficient supplies to enable the British to successfully end the present struggle, the Lend-Lease Bill will, in fact, prove to be a legislative device to keep us out of war. In this connection, how- ever, we must consider the alter- native. Let us suppose that the vast flow of supplies from this country to Great Britain fails to pave the way for a British vic- tory, or even to prevent British defeat. In the latter case, we will have undoubtedly aroused the enmity of the dictator-nations, but this, we think, can be cast aside by the observation that the Axis group, in its future relationship to this country, will be governed lf-interest rather than emo tions. The Axis powers will at- tack the United States, according to manv experts, regardless of anything we do, if the dictators (KEY.
