FREEDOM OF THE PRESS Where news is suppressed there -is anarchy; where news is controlled there is fear; only where news is free are human be- ~ings free.

Petes, x ; Improving: the ;standard of living of ihe Jowest economic class is the most im- portant job in the world today. ; “Tet not your heart be troubled,” the parting message of Christ to His disciples, is particularly applicable today. 1 t Selfishness is at the bottom of most | human conflicts; you ¢annot reform your neighbors but can work on yourself. Simple-minded men rarely suspett, when somebody pays them a complimené that there will follow a request for a favor. i ~- Tf you have one or two good. friends you are lucky; if you are friendly only to one cr two persons; you ought io be asham- ed.of yourself. f ; It might be a good idea for the war de- riment tomobotize these love-our-enemic> {Angericans and organize a few “egine then serid ther itito Franicé to see how *2 ideas Work out, ! foretold Landon’s election! | gave his reasons for his present opinion. | continue to increase their superiority in che | ing for the expenditure of $100,000;,000,000 | of the increased’ burden’ should be placed appreciably between 1939 and 1942. While ‘ized politically, oF in any oihéF way, hey FARLEY MAY. BE RIGHT Jim Farley has been a pretty good | | guesser. In 1932, he was only a few elec- | | toral votes off in predicting the majority \ | ihat would be rolled up for Roosevelt, and in 1936 he was perfect when he declared | that Rooseve]t would carry every state: in’; the Union except Maine and Vermont. Now, along comes Farley and says that year. | Farley, in making this prediction, ad+ | | | the waging of war. Weapons, with efficient mer behind the greater number of weapons will be the winners. The United Nations are now turning ber'in all instances. And nobody can right- fully deny that the Americans and the Eng- | lish know how to fight; hardly anybody will deny that the Russians and the Chinese | Good guessers admittedly aré“ not al- made a far greater number of correct pre- | dictions than Farley has made ih the fiéld of politics, but, in 1936, when Farley pre- dicted that Roosevelt would carry 46 states, the Digest issued number after number chat Yet Farley reasoned soundly when. he This is a warfare of machines, and Farle; said that the numbers of machines we are preducing are so greatly in excess of die numbers the Axis powers are turning out, | our superior striking force will crush Ger- | many, Italy and Japan before 1943 comes to an end. Probably the most important weapon in this war is the airplane. It was Géz- many’s outstanding weapon in pounding into submission courtry after country in ihe earlier months of the war. Day after day now the United Nations air. What will that superiority be toward the end ofthis year? Probably four or five to one. How long willthe Axis powers be able to withstand that superiority? How long will they be able to withstand’ our greater number of all other types of weapons? Nobody can answer that question definitely, yet Farley may be right. WAR COSTS MEAN HIGH TAXES The President’s budget message, call- for war, during the fiscal year beginning in July, should remind Americans that war is expensive. It may cause some of us to reflect upon the comparative cheapness of peace, if it can be secured by reasonabie expenditures for armaments after the’ conflicb:ends: The Congressmen who voted for “economy” Be. tween 1922 and 1982, severely restricting army and naval appropriations, didw’t save us any money. © : The burden of taxation will be heavier next year. That much is plain Where it will be hardest to bear depends upon’ tHe measures that Congress will enact to secure the funds. .This will be the most serious business before the Congress at its present session. We are not inclined to pose as éxpert upon tax matters but it seems'to-us that sonie upon those whose incomes have increased the war emergency has brought increased incomes to some Americans, there are other citizens who have had rio’ such good for- aune. The so-called “white collar’ class is pt to get it in the neck, as usual. Unorgan— get-less than their share of attention’ from Congressmen and éfficials: Another observation that comes to mind, in view of the unanimity with which Congress will vote all amounts required by the war, is the contrasts between the willing- ness to vote war funds and the spirit dis- played ten years azo when a few bil- lions were requested for the aid of suf- fering human beings, down and out in a de- | Public Works Officer, Naval Op- piéssion that has béen best desefibed as Ey “famine atid plenty.” THE KEY WEST CITIZEN MRS.-MURDOC : TAKES.
