The shipment of 3,000,000 bags of cof- \ fee te the United States, in addition to the ; current quota of 15,445,000 bags has been | authorized by the Inter-American Coffee Board. Officials explain that the action does , not mean any sudden influx of coffee ship- ments into this country, pointing out that | the Board wished to liberalize restrictions | in order to take advantage of shipping op- | portunities as they developed. | Millions of coffee-drinkers will be glad to K@lieve that additional coffee is coming intothe United States but very few of them would ask that ships be allotted to the trans- portation of coffee if they are needed to transpo:t supplies to our soldiers abroad. “If American soldiers can face enemy bullets, inveterate coffee-drinkers can stand the shock of an empty cup occasion- ally? JUDGE TAMES ATTORNEYS Judge James Alger» Fee, of Oregon, now sitting as a Federal judge in New Jer- sey, has ruled that attorneys must stay at the counsel table while questioning wit- nesses, This seems to eliminate the “menacing legal forefinger that has been shaken under many a quaking witness's nose.” It also tends to create more respect for members of the bar who suffer from the bad man- | ners of some courtroom lawyers. We commend the Oregon judge and \ suggest that all jurists take ‘cognizance of } the rights of witnesses in court. Many of | them have been insulted and humiliated by overbearing and bullying attorneys and much of the blame for the sifijatton rests tip | on judges who sit on the bench and ‘permit such tactics in their presence. The good old days for oldsters wilt ‘ never return because we cannot revert to | youth. Faith is a great help to men and wo- men as they go through life, but there is ni | synthetic substitute, | When a man or weman ¢efs so mhuch religion that he or she is ready to fight any- one who doesn’t agree with him or her, you | may put it down as “too much” religion, | ' i 1 } HITTING THE WEAREST T spot Pick out his weakest spot, strike him where he is most vulnerable. That is the ob- ject that every man, who goes in tho the ring, | strives to attain against his opponent. Joe Louis doesn’t like to be hit on the jaw, and every fighter who goes in against | diepatenen ‘iehifea"t?} him tries to get.a sock to the jaw, but the | in be ana aly the | gniy one who succeeded in pi eit in sufficient volume was Max Schmeling, and Joe was licked. What is true in the pugilistic ring is true of every other thing in life that engen- ders opposition; hit where hitting will do | | the most harm. Japan’s most vulnerable spot is its shipping, and the United States Navy and airforce keep on striking at it. Lack of ships has long since become a serious problem to | the Japanese warlords. With their far-flung | empire of captured countries to Serve by sea, they are at their wits’ end in trying to keep up the stream of supplies, including weap- ons of war, that must be kept up or Japan is lost. Aware of that fact, United States ‘planes and ships, surface and submarine, | somebédy ‘had ‘taken the sack of| checks shall pe certi continue to strike hard blows at Japanese shipping. Tuesday ‘night the Navy ‘announ- *eed that this country’s undersea craft had sent four more Jap ‘ships ‘to the bottom, bringing the total of ships sunk ‘since the beginning ‘of the war to 137, with 23 more probably sunk and 38 damaged. That destruction of Jap ships has ‘been wreught by United States submarines alone. But that number is only 40 per cent of Jap '| Ships that have gone ‘to Davy Jones’ Tock- | er. Altogether, through the medium of sub- ‘marines, naval surface craft and airplanes, United States forces have sent 316 Japanese ships to the bottom since the perfidy at Pear] Harbor. s It is a fearful toll, particularly in view of the fact that, even before this country ‘entered the war, the Japs did not have ‘suf- ficient ships. It was their weak spot, and United States forces have ‘been persistently and succsesfully pounding at it since we ‘en- tered the war. Today the Japs are crippled in that branch of their military might. Keep pegging “away at the weakest spot. At the rate Jap ships are now going to the bottom, the Nipponese gradually ‘will have to exacuate some of their captured territory because of their inability to take care of them from the sea. The progress of the war would be im- measurably speeded if some people wouttt work more and talk less. An army may march on its stomach but the young lady who picks the stage for her life work must depend upon her legs to carry her along. There is nothing so certain like death | and taxes, but death comes but once while taxes, like the poor, are always with us, and always pestering the taxpayers. Any individual who wants to fight, in any war, as a matter of fun, is‘abnormal but, just the same, conditions arise that make i necessary for intelligent men to be willing to fight. i. EPS Since March 15, wheh more Americans had to dig deeper than ever before to pay income taxes, ‘more Americans ate con- scious of the fact that war inevitably brings sacrifices to every individual. ng SAYS IT WON’T TAKE LONG Brig. Gen. Claire L. Chennault, who has been in command of American flyers aperating in China, reports that the Japan- ese air force has “hit its peak and is now on the down grade.” The general ought to know. He has been in China a long time, in connection with the Flying Tigers and as our commanh- der since Pearl Harbor. Gen. ‘Chennault does not share Ambas- sador Grew’s fears about a war to the ast Jap. He says that when Hitler is it won't “take long” to smash Japan. Not only is this air officer a fighting |s. man but he understands his part in the great warts now efigaging this nation. You do riot hear him asking, via ‘the public ‘prinits, for | additional planes, Althouth we até sare he would like to have them. Gen. Chennault says, “It’s not for me to 4 roll for. city ‘eniployes. . |fraernity of the Georgia Tech. | i THE KEY (WEST OfT?ZEN aT on DAYS GONE BY City ‘councitmeh, ‘dt a meeting ‘last night, tried to determine on “ways afd means to make'tip a pay- ‘Dion, who was recently appoint- | 68 agerit for the Key West Invest- |merit ‘Conipany, resigned last might as city tax collector-asses-| |'sor. j During the last three days more | than 900 sacks ‘of flour have been j distributed among the needy in Key West.
