ANGER MUST NOT MISLEAD US The revelation that American fliers who participated in the raid upon Tokyo on April 18, 1942, have been executed, con- firms the bestial nature of our adversary but, in the light of what the Japanese have been doing in the Far East for years, should occasion little surprise. | *Naturally, there will be anger against | the depraved brutality of the Japanese | Government which dishonorably executes | soldiers fighting for their country. This anger, however, must not affect our mili- tary decisions or turn us from the strategie | policy which has been adopted and follow- ed by the officials charged with the deter- mination of our war policy. . The people of the United States have | been very patient in their attitude toward | the Japanese. For seven years before Pear! | Harbor, our national policy was one of ap- peasement to Japan and everything was done to avoid precipitating a conflict in the Pacific. Despite the sinking of the Panay and indignities inflicted’ upon American citi- | zens, the United States, unprepared for war, had to submit to these humiliations. While no man can say when the day will arrive, there will come the time when American, British and Chinese soldiers will assume control of Japan. On that day, the rulers of Japan will pay a just penalty for their misdeeds, The execution of Japanese military and civil, who have been guilty of barbarous crimes is required in order that | future generations of Japanese will under- stand the penalties that will follow fright- fulness. officials, | Hard work is harder if it is postponed.

He spoke about the devastation of great areas in Germany and the curtailment their allies on the Russian fronts with great quantities of war material. Some people are extravagant in their assertions about the powerful role airplanes are playing in the war, while others under- estimate their effectiveness. But, aside from either of these views, it is a fact, fraught with terrors and horrors that heretofore gripped the mind only during violent earth- quakes or voleanic eruptions, that the most destructive instrument of war the world has ever known is now dropped from the skies. A bolt of the most terrific lightning, or the 18-inch shell of the big gun at Singa- pore, is, so far as the extent of damage done pared to the blasting powers of a four-ton blockbuster. Leave it to the English to go in for the | production of big things, not only for use in war but also for employment in times of peace. It was the English, under Winston | | Churchill's urging, who brought forth the ponderous tank in the last world war, but, despite all his pleadings, it was considered too unwieldly a weapon. But the Germans, who are quick and thorough in adapting anything in which they see vast potentiali- ties, demonstrated Churchill's belief in the tank as.a great offensive weapon, when | | they made their onslaughts on Poland, Bel- | | gium and France in the first six months of the war. armies in the world, was overwhelmed, chiefly by the fast-moving behemoth, as easily as Poland had been in September and | early October of 1939. i Here in Key West, as_ well as else- where throughout the world, an element of , unbelief ran through the town talk when newspapers published stories that the Eng- lish were using two-ton bombs. Two tons | of the highest explosives the world has ever known falling in one bomb! Its destruction was comparatively so vast it was not long before it was dubbed the “blockbuster.” And then, before the died away over the production of the block- buster, news came out of London that the | RAF was using a four-ton bomb—8,000 pounds of building-wrecking, earth-shud- dering destruction. Blockbuster was not a sufficient characterization of the four-ton- ner, so super-blockbuster was born. Twenty miles away from where the super-blockbuster strikes, the earth quakes, and in a radius of four miles almost every window pane or plate-glass window is shat- tered. Despite his high praise, Stalin under- estimated the RAF contribution to the win- ning of the war. Its material contribution is great, but its psychological is greater. Germany today, maintained. People who talk fast and much often outrun their facts. The deal the little nations want from ; the big nations at the end of the war, is not from the bottom of the deck. UP TO BUSINESS MEN Speaking recently to executives of lending financial, industrial and° business corporations of New York, Jessie H. Jones, secretary of Commerce, urged them to plan for peace, pointing out that after the war | we must find employment for persons will- | ing to work by maintaining high levels of production and this will necessitate the lo- cation of markets for the output of our farms and factories. Mr. Jones pointed out that the current estimate of the “probable cost of this war to the United States,” is $250,000,000,000. Significantly, he added, economic losses re- ported during the depression period, from 1930 to 1939, totaled more than $250,000,- | 000,000. If you lack coffee, sugar, rubber, or anything else, join the Army or Navy—you will get enough. Now that the baseball season has got- | ten underway there will be many who will forget the war, for a brief while at least. The enemies of this country, at the present time, are the Axis powers, notithe nations associated with us in the prosecu tion of the war, Obviously, as Mr. Jones declares, if we are to pay the cost of this war, we cannot | afford another depression, which can be avoided only if private initiative and private capital the Government in business. In short, financial, industrial and bust- ness executives must be ready, when peace comes, with something more than plaints and criticisms. They must be ready to lead the world in its post-war deévelop- ; ment. *the trade here.
