Hitler, brawler and braggart, came to power in Germany. | This year marks the tenth anniversary of ihat unholy event, and we, the free peoples, can-commemorate it better than Hitler him- celf. We can do so because, just as 1933 mayked a swift extension of Hitler’s grab forzpower, so 1943 sees his trembling fin- gers weaken and slip away from the throat { of liberty. | ~ The black decade is over. Hitler has | had his ten years of terror and he is near the end of his time. Yet we should remem- ber that if Hitler went out of power tomor- row, Hitlerism would not be wiped out. Hit- lerism is only another name for conquest by force and fear. The plan to conquer the world was deliberate and systematic. The Nazis were rot forced to take up arms, ter- | rorize conquered peoples, shoot hostages. | They do those things deliberately, cold- bloodedly. as a necessary part of their plar to achieve consciously chosen goals. They have murdered, they have loot- ed, they have conquered territory. But they have failed in their larger aim, < force always fails to destroy idea We shall mark Hitler's anniversary sar as the beginning of the end, then, It is no joyous commemoration, for the strains on the honor of civilization must be washed away by more blood, and the international ship of state must be refloated with more sweat and more tears. Those things shall be done. The leopard does not change his spots, nor does Sialin. Watch this dictator! Every life should be balanced—enough but not too much work; enough but not too much play. When the casualty lists grow the peo- ple at home will acquire a new slant on many problems of the war. Advertising in The Citizen is the cheapest and quickest way to let the people y West know about your business, Quote this to American grumblers: ‘TI came from a country where I stood fourteen hours in line for a loaf of bread—and didn’t get it.” cE { cards of thanks, resolutioss of s brute | | DO UNTO OTHERS— If you consider anything so precious; | you are ready to fight to maintain it, you ‘ are a poor sort of individual if you compel | thing. We fight to keep our freedom because | is just as precious to all other thinking peo- i keep it from other people. ; “*~» All of which is in keeping with Presi- kick like the proverbial steer if we were not accorded the privilege, for instance, of voting in an election to determine who wi!l be the governor of Florida, but Puerto Ri- | cans have their governors thrust upon thenh So the President asked congress Tues- day to permit the people of Puerto Rico to | elect their own governor. During the 45 years that that country | has been under the domination of the Unit- ed States there has never-been complete | satisfaction, either there o1 here, with any } of the men who have been appointed to be the chief executive of that island. 1 At present there is a furore over some | of the acts of Rexwell Guy Tugwell, the present governor. His attackers declare he | is gradually converting the island into a sq: | cialistic state. and his defendéysimaintaih | lhe is doing nothing more than pulling .to | pieces a feudal system that, for several %én- ; turies, has kept the status of the poor man on a plane of slavery. H But this editorial is not about what Tug- | weil or any other governor of Puerto Rico | | has done; it is concerned with doing unto | others as we wish to be done by. j Our insistence on freedom is grounded in deceit if we refuse to extend it to others to whom we have the power to extend it. The Puerto Rican legislature last month petitioned congress to end the is- land’s colonial regime and to permit the people to select their own form of govern- ment by popular vote, Puerto Ricans ask only for the right that we guard and treasure, so why deny ' them that right? You can cure a drunkard, never gambler. fe ea | In good times prepare for the worst, so the bad times, sure to follow, will not catch | you unprepared. An optimist believes that his nation will improve even when_ his political op- ponents are in office. The nation is already in the midst of what might be called a political campaign, | and there is no way to avoid it, because even in wartime the politicians cannot be stop- ped. The Florida legislature meets next month. The legislators do not seem to be so keen for attendance—it is a loss for all | except the bribe takers, and even these may be scarce, like everything else. THANKS THE NEWSPAPERS | The newspapers ‘of the Unitea States | have been paid a tribute that is well de-| served by Prentiss M. Brown, Price Admin, istrator, who acknowledges their “invalt { able assistance” in explaining canned goods | rationing. | We are not among those who chant the | | praises of the press in the hope of kidding | | the public into believing nonsense but the | | fact is that the people of the nation could | | not have been informed about the canned | | goods program through any other medium. j H Consequently, Mr. Brown was right in | saying: “No finer single seryice in the ir- | terest of the American public has been per. | formed during this war than the splendid | handling by the nation’s press of the OPA | processed foods rationing program.” \ { There are public services that the | | newspapers of the country perform every | | year that Cannot be adequately handled by | |} West Citizen-is hereby designated jas the newspaper in which this or-j| jder shall ba pabijshed once a week | SAA&AABLARAALOALDAD | any other agenc¢y. The press does not ex- | péct ‘tiedals but, at least, it has the right }to hope that the péoplejof thé nation appre- ciate the service so genérously rendered. The average reader of The Citizer usually gives little thought to public and | semi-public notices that are printed without charge to anybody in the columns of this | | newspaper. Let nobody get the idea that | | this is without expense to the newspaper. The truth of the matter | newspapers offer so many “public service features” that few people realize what they | do, Their service is taken for granted, which | _is a compliment of a high order even if it | } does not assist in meeting the payroll. we consider it a preeious thing. But freedom ; ! ple, and therefore, we are hypocrites if we | dent Roosevelt's advocacy of giving home | rule to the peopl¢ of Puerto Rico.
