It's like a “letter from home.” The best way to beeome financially in- ‘ependent is to learn to say “no” to yourseif and keep your money for future use, and for the proverbial “rainy day,” | Justice, is waging a | weil as elsewhere BLACK-HEARTED AMERICANS It is foolish to expect to live the,same economically in wartime as in peace; it is more foolish, when the government requires us to adjust our mode of living to the exig- encies of war, to lend tongue to or give ear to rumors that disturb our minds our nerves are kept on edge. For instance, the latest rationing order so ‘WAVES AND SPARS 'Guard men ai shore stations, started a rumor that the American people | tace a food famine and food riots, and Sec- i retary of Agriculture Claude Wickard de- nounced the “irresponsible sources” in 0 | which the rumors originated. Food is still plentiful in this country, basing our opinions on past perform- | ances, it will continue to be plentiful throughout the war. But the government must issue rationing orders not only to pro- tect our own men and our Allies on the bat- tle fronts but to protect us at home also. As The Citizen has mentioned on sev- eral occasions, some Americans think more about their own conveniences than they do «bout the fortunes of our fighting men, and foodstuffs would be hoarded to so great an and, it would adversely affect not only joyal Americans the home front, but also those Americans who are risking their lives to save us from the terrors the Axis on | madmen would subject us to, were they vic- torious.

Meat has been scarce and dear because of the black-market gentry, whom the OPA is gradually exterminating. After one week’s campaign against the racketeer in New York City, the supply of beef there increased 30 per cent. It will increase in Key West, too, as in the country, when those so-called Americans, who think more about their pocketbooks than they do about winning the war, are forced to stop their black-market practices. What we face isnot the danger of a food famine, but we do face hordes of black- hearted Americans who would bleed us white, were they permitted to do so, in prefiteering in our feodstuffs. beet Envy is a form of self-poisoning.

If you have no prospect of facing an enemy bayenet, or of being blown up by an | enemy shell, you have nothing to grumble | about. You can get a iot of fun out of life, not considering wisdom, if only you will keep your mouth shut and listen to what other people have to say When ine bombs begin to drop regular- ly upon Tokyo, and other Japanese indus- | trial centers, you will hear less about this fight-to-the-last-man idea. Judging by what some people write, the United States ought.to send diplomatic delegations to Moscow and Chungking to | ' get Russian and Chinese approval of our war program. THE oLD AXIS GAME President Roosevelt has warned ihe people of this country that Axis propa- gandists are “trying all of their old tricks to divide the United Nations,” seeking to “create the idea that if we win this war, Russia, England, China and _ the United States are going to get into a cat-and-dog fight.” He calls this a final effort, made in the “vain hope that they may settle with onc or two at a time” and calls it a “panicky at; tempt” to escape the consequences of thei crimes.” Certainly, every understand the necessity tion between the United Nations, not only during the present struggle but in the peace that will follow. To become involved in foo!- ish squabbles over minor and insignificant questions will be to play the game of the Axis and give our enemies a chance to wii | the war and the peace, American ought tu | of full coopera- | Ane cEKZOKMING VALUABLE WORK The WAVES is an organization of women whose job is to replace Navy men at snore stations.
