TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE Government seizure of the coal mines is the culmination of class legislation ad- ministered by class conscious political agen- cies. If present labor laws are not amend- ed and henceforth administered with an eye to justice rather than social prejudice, government seizure of private activity will be’ neither temporary nor confined to the coal industry. One-sided legislation such as the Wag- ner Act developed racketeers who, aided by politicians seeking the voting power of organized labor, threaten destruction of individual liberty and socialization of pro- ductive enterprise. No longer can the pub- lie*afford to sit idly by while powerful agencies of government favor one group over another, merely because it is good,po- litieal stretegy to do so. We have seen the result of that kind of favoritism. Hiding within the framework of our government are officials who will attempt to use the emergency to make coal a per- manently socialized industry. Just such “emergencies” have led to the destruction of free societies throughout the world. - The coal mine operators have become mere puppet managers of their own proper- ties, and the miners have lost their freedom of action. No wonder the people are re- belling against class legislation such as the Wagner Act and the Guffey Coal Act which grant special privileges to powerful groups. AXIS WORRIES Reports of widespread rioting in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, continues to emphasize the discontent of this Axis na- tion: : Newspaper dispatches from Switzer- land say that martial law was imposed, all stores except food shops closed, mass searches carried out and the people warn- ed to stay home. While we should not expect too much to happen, despite the disturbances, they | indicate the unrest that is creating turmoil | among the Axis sattelites, RUTH BRYAN GOT WHAT SHE RAN FOR Some years ago, in Lincoln, Neb., a young wo- man-was seen running toward a street car, waving @n ‘umbrella violently. She made the car and fell panting and gasping in a seat. “Well,” she remarked, when at last she had re- | gained her breath, “here’s one member of our fam- ily who can get what she runs for.” At this remark most of the passengers laughed uproarously, for they had recognized the speaker— Ruth Bryan, daughter of William Jennings Bryan, thrice unsuccessful candidate for the Presidency of the United States! ig ; as Eine YE tA A nation, like an individual, has no rights which brutes, with greater power, will respect. ; Buying War Bonds is one way to pro- vide the soldiers with adequate protection against the enemy. With Victory Gardens everywhere we anticipate many disappointments for our friends who are busily engaged in attempt- ing to duplicate the vegetables pictured in ' seed catalogs. MECHANICAL GENIUS WILL WIN WAR | “So that’s the reason I haven’t been able to catch any?” That was the remark a Philadelphian | made to the late ““Ben Tink” Demeritt about | the right way to bait a hook. Americans have a knack for mechar- | ical genius applied to the small as well as the big things in life. If you don’t know how } to bait your hook for pompano, for instance, | you may sit for hour after hur beside a Key West fisherman and seldm get a bite while he “pulls ’em in” with surprising regular- ity. And a Key West fisherman attaches 2 hook to a line and the line to a leader, so that the harder a fish pulls the tighter the single half hitch in the line becomes. That ; applies to a hook without an eye, and you | may tie yours on with a complexity of turns, only to lose it, while the simple half hitch holds ‘t tightly. It is the “simple half hitch” that mani- | fests itself more than anything else in the American’s mechanical genius. That genius | is forever impelling him to seek simpler ways to doa thing. Simplicity is a passion the assembly line. tor of the War Mobilization Commissior, the war. But that is little more than a “be- ginning.” Four days before Mr. Byrn made his address the Ford interests an- 500 big bombers would be coming off the assembly line at Willow Run every day. Counting Sundays, that means a yearly production of 182,500 planes from a single manufacturing center! Many of us chuckled when Henry Ford, come when he would turn out 5,000 auto- at his plant, but also at the plants of Gen- eral Motors. —~ No lost motion, no lost time; pro- duction measured in precious seconds, not be attained only through simplicity. inventive genius along mechanical lines. The Germans are good copyists; the Japs are poor copyists; the Germans, as a rule, improve, fall short of the ease of their Zero, which was glamorized for a time but which has turned out to be something of an egg shell.. A few days ago airplane experts asserted that the Zero is inferior to any of the first-line fighter planes the Allies use. But copyists, good or bad, in war time work ata distinct disadvantage. In the matter of planes, even if the Germans and the Japs had the opportunity and the ex- tended time to copy our planes, by the time they have finished their copies the Amer- ican types have been distinctly improved. Therein lies the explanation of the great superiority the American planes have over the German and the Jap aircraft. In the Mediterranean, the record shows, in de- stroyed planes, almost 10 to one in favor of the Allies; in the European and Pacific theatres, slightly more than five to one. Mechanical genius, with trigger-think- ing men behind the products of that genius, will wipe out, as Mr. Byrnes said, ‘‘every vestige of Japanese treachery and German tyranny.” The low-down on the tax situation is that you will have to pay more taxes. Most of the captured Germans, accord- ing to Reporter Ernie Pyle, think that Ger- many will win the war. Ifthe Germans would know more facts they wouldn’t fight so eagerly and with such great confidence. EMINENTLY CORRECT On June 21st, 1942, Tobruk, in Libya, was recaptured by German and Italian sol- diers in North Alfrica. At the time, Prime Minister Churchill was in Washington, conferring with Presi- dent Roosevelt. As a result of their consid- eration of war strategy decisions were made which resulted in the occupation of North | Africa in November. Ait the same time, despite appeals from China and Australia for greater assistance, | Plans were set in motion to reinforce the | British Eighth Army, which was rapidly | falling back upon the Egyptian border. In view of what has happened in Tu- | nisia this month, it is self-evident that the | decision made by the President and Prime | Minister, in conjunction with their military _ advisers, was eminently correct. The test. of a policy, in war or any- | where else, is the fruit thereof. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN i Chapter 15 JOLF bounded into the clear- ing of the Cree encampment ahead of his mistress. Penny was relieved to see that the tepees were still there. Smoke curled from a cooking fire.

But the time came, not only | timidly. Looking up from the blackened pot in which some sort of stew, the squaw grunted reply. The young Creé girl smiled at Penny out of long dark eyes. The brown-skinned, nearly naked chiidren squealed with delight as the malemute pup tumbled among them, yapping. “I—I brought back the pail you lent us for tea last night,” said Penny. offering it as she ad- vanced. The older Indian woman said something in Cree and the girl rose obediently to take the con- tainer from Penny. “T’ank you,” she said. Penny was at a loss how to con- tinue the conversation. Their eyes were upon her questioningly- to people who didn’t know much of your language probably that you needed their aid? Penny said: “We’re in trouble.” ‘They stared at her blankly. She tried again. “We need | help.” Intelligence glowed in the squaw’s wrinkled brown face. She grinned delightedly and ~began ladling stew from the pot to give Penny. “No—no.” Penny shook her head. “I'm not hungry. It’s not fond we need this time.” Pointing downstream toward their own camp where Cleve was. she pressed her shoulder and groaned. “Man—sick. Hurt bad.” This they understood. “Sick— yes.” Encouraged. Penny went on. “We want to go to Moose Creek.” Both Indian women nodded. “Moose Creek.” “No canoe.” As well as she could, Penny pantomiimed the story of their disaster in the river, running in phrases like captions she was . cooking How did you go about explaining’ Penny was weak with thank- fulness. She could hardly wait to return to Cleve and tell him the] ,, good news. The Cree girl, Marie To-ma, said it was about five miles to Long Portage. Five hard long miles still to travel on foot, but at the end of them the blessed certainty of respite. A canoe. i you can make it, Cleve?” asked Penny anxiously.
