| WE PLEDGE " President Roosevelt said in his last | memorable fireside chat: “To all newspapers and radio | stations. . .Isay this: Youhaveamost | grave responsibility to the nation now, and for the duration of the war. “Tf you feel that your government is not difclosing enough of the truth, you have every right to say so. But— in. the absence of all the facts, as re- “vealed by official sotiteés—You. have « no right to deal out ‘uneonfirmed -re- ~. ports in such a way as to make people believe they are gospel truth.” The President’s policy will be the policy of The Citizen. i This paper accepts the “most grave re- sponsibility” thrust upon it. As always, it will publish the facts. When a story is unconfirmed it will say so. It will not retail rumors, but will remind the 3 ‘ SPECIAL NOTICE people of the danger inherent in their dis- All reading thanks, coapeet obltsaty noticen, ster wil be xe % semination. ‘mtices for shtsriainment by churches from which There will be exceptions.

Such a rumor will be printed but it will be labeled as _ Such. However, and as always, The Citizen will respect any news given to it in con- fidence by army and navy officials and civilian authorities. On its editorial page, The Citizen will exercise the prerogative, cenceded by the President, of criticizing constructively the | conduct of the war. If it feels that the gov- ernment isn’t giving enough news, it will maintain its right, also granted by the President, to insist that more facts be re- leased. The Citizen will at all times cooperate with the commanding officers of the naval | station and army reservation. It will al- ways keep its columms open to the people Where news is suppressed there is anarehy; where news is controlled there is fear; only where news is free até human be- = of Key West j ; ey | CARL ACKERMAN, ae = j Dean, School of Journalism, The Citizen is pledged for the dura- * Colambis University. tion. It will fight shoulder to shoulder} with the people of Key Wesi and the nation to ultimate and inevitable victory. Honor comes first with nations as with + men. FIRST HEAVY TANK At last the United States has produced a heavy tank. In fact, a 60-ton land battie- ship was tested on Monday of last week. Previous to the production of this tank, U. S. production lines were turning out only small. (13-tons) and medium (30-tons) tanks. Production of the new heavy tank will begin quantity production in about three or four months. The test of this monster tank was very impressive. It climbed a 30-degree incline without any apparent less of spee+; it with- stood Iand mines, a collision with an ar-/| mored ear, and leveled_off three sets of heavy pilings. This big tank is faster than the smaller | tanks and is very streamline. The fact that this 60-ton job is welded together gives it additional resistance qualities.
