And yet it wasn't so long ago we had a law of Prohibition. Ac- count for that, if you can” Now that it’s all over, it's hard to realize how people put up with 2 law like that, even as long as they did. . Then we got talking sbout the funny laws some people have put through in this country—like the state where they made it against the law to wake a man up if he's sleeping on the railroad tracks. “Railroad law I once heard about,” says Basil Strube, the sta- tionmaster, “said when two trains meet at an intersection, neither can proceed until the other one has gone ahead.” “How could that be a law?” asks Pete Swanson. “That just don’t make sense.” t.

IMPROVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN Water and Sewerage. More Hotels and Apartments. Beach and Bathing Pavilion. Airports—Land and Sea. Consolidation of County and City Gov- ernments. A Modern City Hospital. Today's special: Hoopup, Col, The idea that business can proceed as usual will get another jolt about the first of ihe year. Our own idea is that if the Japs use their main tieet around the Solomon is- lands, they will need some more warships around Japan, For years and years Japan got tons and tons of scrap from the United States, and it also got a good deal of scrap jion out of Hawaii, in the past few years—- returring it in part at Pearl Harbor. iron During war it is incumbent on all of us to be’economical and not wasteful. Smoke your cigars until heat of ihe stub walns you that you have done your patriotic best. The same goes for cigarettes. In Point Pleasant, N. J., members of the Rotary Club were advised that each vill have to come loaded with 10 pounds or crap metal or admittance to the dinner will be denied them. The local paper wonders what resemblance the dining room of the hotel will have in com- non with a junk yard during the gathering. Rumors are floating in the air that President Roosevelt is grooming Vice Presi- dent Wallace for the presidency. He prob- ably had that thought in mind when he in- sited that Wallace be his running mate and that thereby his policies could be per- petuaied. But the “best laid schemes 0’ mjce and men gang aft a-gloy.” This wiiter dees not think that Wallace is of presidential timber and if he runs the next president may be a republican. In the election on November the elez- torate will be faced with nine amendments to be voted on. The Citizen favors the adoption of the first seven, but definitely opposes the eight, which calls for the gar- nishment of wages.

These es- pionage agents are sympathetic to the Nazis. Those who loiter around American camps are observed in contact with Nazi sources and two general officers of the Army recently informed Frank L. Buck- horn, New York Times correspondent, that the Germans were aware of exactly where our men were in Northern Ireland and what | they were doing. Certainly, so long as Eire remains neutral, unable to join hands with the free | nations of the world in their fight against Germany, it will be almost impossible to keep any military secrets from Hitler. Moreover, members of the outlawed Irish | Republican Army are numerous and the discovery of an arms cache, intended to he used against American forces, gave pub- licity to a danger which has been recoz- nized. TRUTH ADVANCES SLOWLY About thirty years ago, Elizabeth Kenny, a nurse in the backwoods of Aus- tralia, was compelled to treat several cases of infantile paralysis without the benefit of expert medical training. Without going into the details of her treatment, it is suf- ficient to state that the world today recog- nizes that the Australian woman has per- fected a superior method of combatting some forms of infantile paralysis. Only ten years ago, a “Royal Commis- sion” of Alustralian doctors failed to ap- prove her method of treatment although it was securing twice as many recoveries as the accepted methods. the United States where, after appointments, she managed to s 000 for a hospital, and went to?) Werk ¥° demonstrate the efficacy of her method of treatment. The experience of this woman _illus- trates the difficulty that confronts us in the search for truth. New ideas are accepted | very slowly, not only in the medical profes- | sion but in all social groups. Gradually, however, the truth will | give Americans: final notice hi A few years later Miss Kenny came 10, ; mei, official Japanese news agency, from Tokyo, that Amer- ican aviators have “been: \se- verely punished.” The announce- ment was made by the chief of the Japanese Army press section of the Japanese Imperial Head- quarters, according to the Tokyo radio. The Japanese broadcast also |stated that any enemy fliers, cap- tured after committing “inhuman jor atrocious acts” over Jzpan or | Japanese-controlled territory will be tried by a military tribunal “and punished with death or other heavy penalties.” The de- jcision, it was added, applies to “enemy airmen who enter Jap-. anese-controlled areas after air raids over Manchukuo or zones of Jzpanese military operations.” The treatment of war prison- ers is regulated by the Geneva Convention which was not sign- ed by Japan, but, after Pearl Harbor, the Japanese promised to abide by its provisions. These {prohibit reprisals upon war pris-} oners. The Japanese declaration fol- lows the recent announcement in Berlin that British captives had been put in chains in retaliation for alleged tying-up of Germans captured in a British sortie. Ap- parently the Axis nations are adopting a policy of confident in the belief that re- taliation is practically impos- sible because hey hold the most prisoners-of-war. Just what the Japanese will consider “inhuman or atrocious acts” is a matter of conjecture, but a hint comes from a Tokyo newspaper which declares that Japanese soil “is too sacred” to permit the enemy to duplicate the raid of American airmen upon Japan. In fact, Tokyo asserts that American pilots were cap-! tured after the raid on April 18 and alleges that they are the ones who have been “severely punished.” The Japanese warning. shoul the war with Japan is a_. “no quarter? , affair. The Japanese will obgerve no rules or réptila- tions. They will resagf to any practice dn the batt! Jd “and, after the fighting is @ver,« ‘will vent their rage against captured enemies in characteristic brutal- | ity. We call attention to this char- acteristic of the Japanese because it should have a tremendous bearing upon the treatment to be accorded Japan after the war is won. So long as Jaapn holds more prisoners of war than the United Nations, there is little comfort in the thought of re- prisals. The United Nations must bide their time and await the day when justice can be exact- ed. pan is no worse in this re- t than Germany.

Toward the Nazis we must adopt a waiting policy, put- | ting off just reprisals until the day arrives when proper punish- ment can be meted out to perpetrators of foul deeds.
