FREEDOM OF THE Seer eon aa Where news is suppressed there is anarchy; where news is controlled there is fear; only where news is free are human be- “ings free. CARL ACKERMAN, Dean, School of Journalism, Columbia University. 1d * The family which has a large vege- table garden in 1943 will be able io eat well while neighbors look for food. Persoanlly, we thisk the first election, held in this country after the soldiers arrive home, will reveal some interesting irends. _ Criticism of governmental officials is not always to be condemned, but when one becomes a perpetual critic nobody should pay any attention to his grumbling. The Jap*expresses pleasure and terror in the same way—he grins when he is pleas- ed, or pretends to be pleased, and he grins in terror when a boat is sunk under him. Mussolini set out to restore the Roman Empire; he must start all over again be- cause the only part of it left is fast disap- pearing as Gen. Rommel’s Germans run for Tunis. Tn 1918, eight months before his sur- render, Gen, Ludendorff all but blew che Allied army out of France; consequently, 't will be wise to expect a German offensive in the Spring of this year. Most taxpayers are inclined to favor the Rum! income tax plan, by which the taxes ona previous year’s income would be wiped out and payments made on the current year’s taxes through weekly or-monthly de- ductions from an individual's income, and special provisions made for business men atid others whose incomes are not in the form of regular salary checks. It seems wise on the part of the government io adopi this form of income tax payments, for wage carners have not acquired the habit of ing money for this new tax, and you cant get-blood out of a turnip. IF YOU MUST BLAME SOMEBODY— €ome service men and their wives and | | | ' some defense workers and their wives, writ- | ing most of the time anonymously, have | been vitriolic in denouncing Key West be- i | cause of their inability to obtain housing ac- | | commodations here.

Key Westers who are going around, some- | thing like a setting hen robbed of her eggs, trying to find houses in which to move. least one of them has not yet been able io find a house into which to move his family. In this matter of housing aeccommoda- tions, there has not been any discrimination | against outsiders. Key Westers, ah chanced to be without a place in which { live, have had to contend with the same con- ditions that have faced newcomers, in or out , of the military Pes, The city is blameless, plainers surely would not fume about the,| war, whichis the very thing that bas cur, tailed housing accommodations’ in’ Key West. Good Americans don’t stamp theif feet and assail the government because it makes this or that rule or rations this or that commodity, all of which is designed to help ar-effort. Key West’s population has more than doubled since this country entered the war. lions of dollars have been spent by the gov- ernment to strengthen it. In spending chose millions on military projects, thousands of workmen had to come to town, and the city was unprepared to house Despite the hundreds of houses ihat have bgen constructed during that time, the city ments, because, while the new buildings wele going up, newcomers continued to | stream into the city. i No blame should be attached io Kev West, and if the complainers are bent on placing the blame on somebody, then let them place it where it belongs: on a.certain gent named Hitler. BIG BUSINESS BLUES The air is burdened with lamentations of those who have to fill out questionnaires, with much of the noise and propaganda coming from business men who have che idea that they are too important to be wor- ried. Naturally, most Americans dislike reg- ulations and especially those that tend to restrict their activities. In a complex s30- ciety, however, it is necessary to have some police power to protect the rights of ihe people. Few bankers now object to the period- ic examination that the state, or federal government, gives to the condition of their bank. Nevertheless, when this necessary work was initiated there were loud cries government interference with the ri bankers:to operate banks as they a, with the mythical “know-how”, €ven if i. resulted in the loss of their dentatt sce money, : There may be too many governmentai questionnaires but Congress will make a mistake to act hastily. It is better to have too many than too few. In the meantime the business tycoons who grumble about the $67,000 limitation on salaries and denounce the filling out of questionnaires might be thankful that, if they operate honestly they won't go io jail. Moreover, the questionnaires they fill out won’t land them in the Army or Navy, with a warm seat in a fox hole or on the deck of a blasted warship. VEGETABLE GARDENS IN STYLE In view of the En ee rationing of more than two’ . canned and pewter WR probably ut- necessary to Sapvest*loTKey “Westers: that they make plans for a vegetable garden this year, and, so far as possible, preserve food- stuffs for use when fresh vegetables and fruits are not available.
