Badly outnumbered. after Pearl Harbor, our ships, men and plane persistently fought a stronger enemy and YWely failed to score a victory = STALIN’S POSITION ——_ contents of the President's letter ier Stalin, and the reply of the Rus- | tator, continue to intrigue the news exper, with some of them asserting that Mr. Spin hasgccepted an invitation +o meet-the President without naming a time or suggesting a place for such a conference. ! With this start the boys who “make publig opinion” get off to a flying start, as- serting that Stalin is dissatisfied with what is taking place and extremely anxious to avoid a showdown on what Russia plans +> do invtegards to Japan.

And it is further as- sumed that there was a bit of squawking ; throughout the country. But at least one Key Wester hit the nail an-the head when he made this remark: “T have good reason to believe that Key West boys are included in the forces that icily. How does 20 per cent, less exemptions,. stack up against that? Wouldn't you rather pay several times 20 per cent than to be in the hellfire in Sicily, or in Munda, or in Salamaua?
