The people of our country didn’t un- derstand Russia before the beginning of the war. We welcomed them as partners in the fight against the Axis — but we still don’: understand them. It is doubtful whether we ever will. Russia isn’t at war with Jap Stalin and his government seem to a ciate the six billions of dollars ef war and food supplies from the United States. On the . other hand, Stalin continues to complain , about what he says is the failure by the United States and Britain to establish a western front, even though forces have cleaned up North Africa and the Mediter- ranean, wiped out the power of Sicily and Italy, and brought the French people to 2 point where they are ready to rejoin our fighting forces. Besides, we have bombed the daylights out of Germany itself, and have made it possible for Sweden to stop Hitler's force from carrying on their traffic betwecn Norway and the German lines. The man who looks at the map of the world on the walls of an office in Washing- ton finds it difficult to understand the criti- cism that comes out of Russia. Meanwhile the war goes on. It i feetly clear, as it has been at all the Atlantic Charter representing the prin- ciples of government as unde President of the United ates and the Prime Minister of Great Britain never gain- ed the approval of Russia, any more than the common doctrines of Russia will ever i) accepted by Britain and our country. The fact is the English speaking people and the Russians and Chinese don’t believ: n the same political and social theories All this ought not to obscure the faci thatthe United States, Britain, China and the rest of us are all fighting same +nemies, There no difference o opinion on that score. Inasmuch as we ayre« about the war it seems reasonable to hop: and expect that after victory has bx the victories of peace will also bx When we think “How about Russia?” w« must be broad-minded enough to acknowl edge that the Russians have gone farther than the rest of us in the great struggle to crush Hitlerism as it exists throughout the world.

Mo Pigeon, Pa ahead @itizen «THE GARBAGE MUST BE COLLECTED | That editorial in The Citizen about the | scavenger “service” in Wey West struck a responsive chord throughout the city, and, while commending, the general agreement was that we did not make it “hot enough.” Pinned down, the critics said we should | have lambasted the men who drive the wa- gons. But why resort to lese majesty, or something of the sort? Believe it or not, the | scavenger men are the most independent workmen in Key West. Raise a brow of dis- approval, and they will throw up their jobs So what is to be done? Those men are well aware that the ci and its man. the scavenger servi are up against the same thing that the gov- in some regards. It was for that ason that the War Manpower Com- vanized.
