Naturally, hundreds of thousands of persons in the United States are concerned over ame probability that some soldiers may be thansferred to the Far East without a furlough in this country. This is unfortu- nate, but, in general, it applies to service troops which will be sent to the Pacific without the special eight weeks’ training course designed to fit fighters for the Jap- anese theater of action. The bulk of other troops, it is said, will go to the Far East by way of. the United Stateg, Generally speaking, units moving to the Pacific will have to be notified about four months before departure in order to take their eight weeks of special training, with a month at an assembly area to check thelr records under the discharge plan and overhaul their equipment, topped off by a stay at a staging area. These details have been announced by Brig. Gen. George S. Eyster, who likens the transfer of the troops from Europe to the Pacific to the job of moving the whole pop- wlation of Chicago to the Philippines. Com- bat troops will be started for the United States and home furloughs on their way to the Pacific within three or four weeks. There is one exception to the rule of points in regard to a discharge from serv- jee. Every winner of the Medal of Honor i» eligible for immediate release upon his request, regardless of points. This recog- nition of men who performed superlative is just and reasonable. Moreover, it affects less than 100 men CONFIDENCE ‘Though it Hias been reported that busi- ness in Key West has fallen off as much as 25 percent in some lines, yet it is still good, and we would be happy indeed if it con- tinued at its present level. Probably there will be further reduc- tions in trade as more persons leave town, to be so gradual it barely will be notice- all Key Westers—those who resided here before the war began—have saved money, excepting those, regardless of whether bus- iness is good or poor, make it a practice to spend all they earn. What falling off there has been in business thus far has not affected adversely the demand for local real estate. Sales are occurring daily, and many negotiations are under way for the acquisition of real estate in Key West. The attitude of Key West leaders will have much to do in fashioning postwar conditions in this community. Should the leaders strive to keep the city in the front line of protress, they will succeed, even though we are handicapped by the lack of industrial plants. What seems to be our “best bet” is to do all we can to attract tourists to Key West. The Citizen believes that, as a result of the many homes and apartments that have been constructed here in the last four years, we will, when peace comes, accom- modate several thousand more people than ever before in the history of the city, But what we need more than anything else is confidence, and if we succeed in maintaining that at a high pitch, we may be sure it will redound to the welfare of our city. Do you know anything.about the prob- able price of peace? Millions of lives and billions of substance must be-sacrificed -to attain its brief existence. According to estimates cigarette smok- ers will contribute about $2,000,000 more annually to the general revenue fund of the state. The tax is now 3 cents for each package. If 1 cent tax on each package will produce $2,000,000, 4 cents would produce $8,000,000 annually. A lot of money to go up in smoke! INAPPROPRIATE A resolution having been offered in Congress to award the Medal of Honor posthumously to the late President Roose- velt and the matter coming before the House, a member of that body prevented unanimous action by registering his dis- sent. ; The objection was made that the Med- al of Honor is only awarded for gallantry above and beyond the call of duty. Obvi- ously, the service rendered the nation by Mr. Roosevelt does not come within the limitations imposed by the terms of the award. Moreover, it is quite clear that such an award would not add to the recognition of the services of the Chief Executive who, more than any other man, led this nation Another sensible decision, made by General Eisenhower, is contained in in- at te senior American officers.
