Germany and Japan are putting up a smoke-sereen about the mistreatment of priscners of wa: in order to pave the way for mistreating those in their possession. The day of the business tycoon is near- ing an end in the United States and nobody knows what economic changes will follow the war. The chief occupation of a newspaper man should be the correct presentation of facts, designed to give the reader of a news- paper a truthful reproduction of what has occurred. Recent criticism of the British, some in this country, opened the way for British spokesmen to make disconcerting reply. Lord Croft, joint Parliamentary Under- Secretary for the War Office, makes it, say- - ingy “We alone went into this conflict with- out being attacked.” Inadvertently, The Citizen said in its leading editorial Monday that Key West has had only one hurricane in the last 21 years The fact is Key West has had only ore hurricane in the last 32 years, AS Key Westers generally know, Key West had its last hurricane in 1919, 23 years ago, and the immediately precéding one occurred in 1910, a JUST ANOTHER SUBTERFUGE Every fair-minded Kley Wester—The | Citizen thinks it is unnecessary to say hon- | est—is solidly behind City Councilman | William A. Freeman in his refusal to sign | city warrants that include boosts of the sal- aries of five city officials through the “‘spe- | cial relief accounts” that a majority of ihe | councilmen have tried to create. And imagine City Attorney Thomas | Caro’s asserting that this particular ordi- nance, giving five officials amounts in ex- cess of the salaries set for them by law, “Provides for an emergency which actual- ly exists and provides for relief of these of- ficials caused by this emergency . e Yes, yes, Mr. Caro, in what dire straits are the five city officials! Poor fellows, they are so badly up against it they don't know where they’!] get the amount for an- other sandwich! Take Mayor Willard Ajlbury, who tops the “emergency” list for “reiief’. He has only three jobs. Besides the stipend he gets from the city, he receives saiaries regular- ly from two other sources. Another object of “relief’’ is Fire Chief Leroy Torres. Poor Leroy, he must be re- duced to living on bread and coffee. Just think of it, all he gets to keep the coffee pouring is two salaries, one from the city | and’ one from the county. Yes, we should pass the hat for our friend Leroy! Azd now we come to our captain of police, Alberto Camero, who looks like a handsome lieutenant; Ivan Elwood, who looks as trim and wellfed as a brigadier | general at least, while Joe Kemp looks as dapper as any fullfledged general Uncle Sam can produce. Ask these three police Caro, if they need “relief”! The Citizen is not criticizing these five men. So far as it knows, not one of them has been urging the payment of ihis “relief” money. The blame for the ‘‘emer- gency” and the “relief account” rests en- tirely on a majority of the city council that officers, Mr. money. Yes, Mr. Caro, the ordinance in ques- tion “provides for an emergency which ac- tually exists and provides for relief for these officials,’ but let all of us honest Key West- ers applaud Councilman Freeman for re- fusing tc give away the city’s money under the guise of “relief” to men who are not in need of relief. Finally, this latest move by the council in this matter is only another subterfuge. MACARTHUR AND THE SOLOMONS There has been much loose talk about the campaigy in the Solomon Islands, with some newspaper correspondents going so far asto suggest that the division of ithe South Pacific ocean into two zones was done to prevent General MacArthur from commanding ihe proceedings. The American general has denied ihe story. The United States News points out that the area was divided in Washington, “Tt was concurred in by General MacAr- thur.” This ought to dispose of the particular yarn. There is another one, going around ithe circle, to the effect that there is not ihe ‘proper cooperation between the Naval com- ‘tack upon Guadalcanal was launched as a “navy show” and that our soldiers were léft out of the campaign in order that the Navy might grab the glory. What about ‘his one? Well, the United News reports that there was consideration | New Guinea and New Britain. but that lack of shipping and the long supply line involy- | ed caused the high command to veto the plan. It adds that “the situation was ex- plained and General MacArthur coneurred) when the action was taken.” The Solomon Islands operation was a naval operation and had to be under com- mand of a naval officer. The plan was for the Marines to seize the area, after which the A¥my, would move in. There has been THE KEY.

And, it takes only one taste of ice-cold Coca-Cola to tell you that its makers have specialized in re- freshment for years. They created this utterly different drink 57 years ago. Today it’s still individual —and delightfully so. Note the difference in taste. You can sense the special blend of flavors. Sip again. Your thirst is gone before you know it, but some- thing else arrives. This is refreshment. And it’s refreshment that goes into energy — quickly — pleasantly.
