Inflation is a peril that it will pay us to avoid, regardless of what temporary and ppparent profils we seem to lose in the pro- cess. Even if you forgot to send a year’s sub- scription to The Citizen for that boy in the service, or the girl away from home, it is not too late io correct the oversight. ©The idea that the United States can be Lesfoperated by a small group of super- | me@is an illusion shared only ‘by those who igine they are in the super-class. ‘Hirohito told his people the other day that both the United States and Great Bri- tain forced Japan into the war, yet both | lave always been careful not to hurt the delicate susceptibilities of the Japs. trasts. On one side of the street is a native theater with its caste dressed in the costume } und acting in a play of 1,000 years ago; on the other side of the street may be an up- to-date movie with latest sound effects and featuring the latest from Hollywood, | even Se ee | that powerful The Orient of today is a land of con- | QUALITY AND QUANTITY Several readers have pointed out io | The Citizen that, in the editorial, What Will Win the War, we said nothing about Russia, which is fighting so valiantly to rid that country of the Germans and their minions. The Russians have done two outstand- ing things in this war; first, as a shock ab- } sorber,,against which Germany wore out 4 great deal of her power; secondly, in the wintersto operate much like an attrition wheel in wearing down Germany’s military | strength. Despite the remark made a month or so ago that the best army in the world woul: be Russians under German command, it re- mains a fact that the Russian soldier is a lumbering slow thinker. He lacks that pep and initiative that characterize the Ameri- can soldier, who, unlike the soldiers of the cther nations, is able to think for himself when an emergency arises. The Allies have every reason to be thankful that Russia is on their side; her help means the shortening of the time it will require to bring Germany to her knees, bu-, without Russia, the Allied Nations would win the war because of their produc- ing far more weapons than the Axis powers are turning out. ‘ In that regard, it should be noted also, as Major Campell, chief of ordnance at Ab- erdeen Troving Grounds, in Maryland, pointed out a day or so ago, that the weap- ons produced in this country are superior in nearly every instance in their resistant qual- | ‘ties as well as in precision and swiftness of } operation. The outstanding machine that Ameri- | can plants have produced is the Flying Fort- ress. The Japs have not yet been able to figure it out. Jap Zeros have tried to ap- proach the Flying Fortress from above, bel- low, in back and in front, but from whatever tion the Zero came it ran into the Fort- ress’ deadly fire. Germany’s fighter planes have not been any more successful against the Fort- ress than have the Japs’ Zeros, When the Fortresses began to operate over occupied France, they destroyed 23 German planes before the first Fortress was lost. Since then the average in losses has been almost eight te one in favor of the Fortress. Yes, Russia is helping mightily in sap- ping up Germany’s strength, but the war will be won by the larger quantity and bet- ter quality of Ajmerican weapons, They have demonstrated their efficiency in every theater of war. The Russina high com- mand has commended in the highest terms the quality of American planes and tanks that have been used against the German. in Russia, Quality and quantity in the production | of weapons: in them are to be found the ans- wer to the question as to what side will win the war. - WOMEN DOCTORS COMPLAIN The American Women’s Medical As- sociation is king to “adjust” differences with the Army and Navy which do not ac- cept women doctors for service in the medi- cal reserve organizations. The female doctors ask “full member- ship” on “exactly the same basis” as men physicians. They appeal to the President and contemplate Congressional action “as a last resource.” The nation does not draft women for fighting service and until it does so the wo- men doctors have no just complaint. Even if a few sisters want to be extra smart and acquire experience in treating ihe victims of battle there are many practical reasons that suggest they render their service in other areas. A SLICK MOVE IS EXPECTED A few years ago everyboly wanted to “take the profit” out of the war and, in fact, | pacifist sentiment in the United States was | greatly strengthened by revelations, after the-Woorld War, of the profits made by the manufacturers of munitions, At present there is a law permitting a re-examination of war some believe, will save the United States billions of dollars. Washington rumors, however, assert industrialists, with good congressional contacts, are ready to launch a campaign to repeal the law, using the ar- gument that excessive gains can be recover- ed through the excess profits tax. The people of this country might keep | their eyes open and watch for this man- oeuvre. contracts which, | THE KEY: WEST CITIZEN KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY FROM FILES OF THE CITIZEN of JANUARY 4, 1933 : 1 Stephen Cochran Singleton “blew into The Citizen office to- day”, a front-page story in the! paper said, and declared that, in: coming to Key West, he felt like! he was coming back home. 1 Seventy-three more men were! put to work today by the Monroe: County Council for Unemploy-! ment Relief.

After long years of back we 1 looking | wistfully to something called “boomtimes,” from| ceaseless arguing about some- thing we called “recovery”, we find ourselves working and pro- ducing at a rate to astonish the | world.

For 1943. it will be work and fight. This past year has been rela- tively easy.
