F3 i SUICIDE TACTICS ADMIT DEFEAT The Japanese, according to informa- tien contained in broadcasts from Tokyo, plan to use all branches of the navy, includ- ing surface ships, for suicide attacks against American forces. Changes‘in the high command have been made to facilitate “the strategy and tactics of special attacks” which means the suicide offensive. While the Japanese proclaim the adoption of this strategy as a sign that they are preparing to meet the challenge of the United States, the adoption of such tactics represents an admission that, insofar as regular warfare is concerned, the Japanese know that they are in a hopeless position. There is the possibility of severe losses te the American Navy in connection with suicide attacks. When scores of planes dive wpon surface ships, each piloted by an individual certain of death and determined te cause destruction, perfect defense is ab- solutely impossible. Some of the plane& in- evitably get through to the targets, ex- pleding upon contact and damaging war- ships. The development of the suicide offen- sive on a large scale will undoubtedly in- crease our losses in the present phase of the Pacific war. It may not, and probably does not, mean an increase in thé total number of casualties that our forces will suffer. The desperate method represents the utmost of Japanese determination and ‘ts failure, despite some small successes, will mean the end of Japanese hope. RUSSIA IS STILL GREEN It is possible that the Stalin govern- ment has been trying to overcome the de- MEASURI NG SUCCESS , Circuit Court Judge Aquilino Lopez, Jv., yesterday showed us a series of photo- graphs of prominent Key Westers who were present when the first train came to town 33 yedrs ago, and instantly we re- called the first line of this poem: “Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?” — x And we added*to it, or why. should it fret | or worry, or brood over disappoint-_ ments, or be remorseful about what has been and wish that it might havé been thus and’ so, as more promoting of our wel- fare as subsequent events have proved, or bea prey to cupidity? _ Every time we use the word “cupidity” we recall what a well-knon Key, Wester told us about the many thousands of dol- lars he lost in the crash of Florida’s realty boom’ 20 years ago, “Iblame it all on my cupidity.” We recalled those things because in those photographs we recognized many Key Westers, men of sterling worth, who, being human, worried, as we are worrying today, and sensed disappointments, as we are sensing them today, and yet they have’ passed on, as we will pass on, despitetheir worties and despite our worries. How much better if we could go through life, disregarding at least the ttiv- ialities that go against the grain and 'ad- justing ourselves to circumstances when anything turns out in opposition to what we had hoped. Impossibles one may say, because of our very nature, But there are millions of people, chiefly $n Asia, who, having done what they thought was best for them, re- main calm and collected if. disappoint- ments arise. That attitude is particularly so among the Persians, and longevity in Persia is commoner than in any other coun- try in the world. * But, it may be asked, who would want to be a Persian? That question is specious because, in*adapting a good quality, it is of no consequence where you get it or from whom you get it. Besides, whatever may be one’s nationality, it does not justify his worrying and struggling up to the final moment of his activity to obtain what we call success in life. ° In the final analysis, success is not measured as much by the size of one’s “bank roll” as it is by the state of his mind. Some lawyers have been practicing law for many years and still need lots of ‘practice. FATHER’S DAY ’ It is fitting that on at least one day out of 365 the person who is politely named the “head of the house” should come in for some small measure of recognition. It is a good idea to have one day on which father, daddy, dad, pop, pater, the old man, the governor, or whatever he may be called, can sleep late, have breakfast in bed if that is his whim, get the family auto with no argument (even if the tank is empty), ‘play golf or fish or just loaf—in other words, he can be king, if only for a day. But Father’s Day in wartime gives rise to more serious thoughts. It will not be feets of its youth by talking back to the United Nations Conference, in order to eal the fact that it is still young. and inexperienced, and learning how to behave along with its co-partners in the Huropean war. The old statesmen from th United States and Great Britain were puz- sled and disturbed by the rude behavior and stubborn conduct of Molotov at San Pranciseo. Nevertheless, there was prog- a few vocal wind storms. Harry Hopkins was sent to Moscow and doneph E. Davies was sent to London. Mr. Davies was President Roosevelt’s personal representative in difficult “Missions to Mos- ress after cow President Truman concluded that Hop- kins was the strong-man to match against “Statin. And Hopkins, on his own responsi- has done an excellent job. He has been underestimated by the American pub- tic because in the past he appeared only & messenger for President Roosevelt. It’s ime to quit kicking Harry around, and that ie the exact reason why President Truman spent several hours with him and then sent him to “talk turkey” to stubborn Joe \ bilit Stalin. The bombing of Japan may have a lot te de with changing the minds of the wor- shippers of the Sun God. Why not go to church next Sunday and compare yourself with a standard of measurement. How do you weigh in the balance? possible for some fathers to receive the tribute of their families this year. For these fathers must, ewén on the day which is dedi- cated to them, continue their task of kill- ing, of preparing to kill, or of making the machines to kill. It is a human paradox that father must meet father in battle and kill or be killed. Community service is splendid but do not go in for it if you expect cash returns. WHY GOVERNMENT COSTS MONEY worth of troop sleepers and kitchen cars for use in moving soldiers to the Pacific area. The fact that the cars will be needed for a temporary use explains the fact that the government is having them built for its account. Obviously, the railroad companies would not be justified in an expenditure of this kind, considering the limited oppor- tunity to make profitable use of the equip- ment. Eventually, however, the government will be through with its use of the rolling stock. What will become of it? The an- swer is that it will be sold as surplus wat goods and the chances are that the rail- roads ill buy the cars as a batgain' price. The process explains’ Why it’ is diffi- cult, if not impossible, for thé government to make a profit on its transattietts) either in times of war or peace.

Grown people looked and@ felt awkwardly large in the tiny rooms and there were not enough chairs. Ray Brandon was a few years older than Carey and had a keen, intelligent face and the pleasantest smile Cythia had ever seen. His wife was just a girl, barely twenty-three, pretty and a little pouty because she was so petted by her husband. She pretended to complain of her “luck” because there had been the usual slip-up in their plans. There was one baby and another on the (AREY'S arms dropped away| Idren’s ee a b e ‘in: haggard: and} would. have had a splendid jo “Joan” and has just learned|in the chemistry department of ether aks vat telext ad it} left the plant. “I majorea in chem, I of pure love. ecryou're doing the try he rather difficult to talk to.

Whén' the baby howled through a paper thin partition the young mother sat still and let him howl. “Hadn’t you better—” Cynthia protested faintly, her nerves twitching. “Robert always cries at_ this hour,” his mother said with a calm glance at the clock. “Oh, does he—? But think of the neighbors!” She tried to make it sound like a joke. But they all had howlers of their own, Joan’s tolerant smile proclaimed -to- an answering chorus. “You don’t know babies.” “Don’t I?” Cynthia wondered if she did or if she had forgotten. It had been a long time. This girl had been younger than Edris was now when Cythia had stopped thinking about babies. A‘ chill ! — ! that wouldn't have done any good. The word was out.
