CARL ACKERMAN, SYSTEM OF WATERWAYS . Here you are, going up or coming : |down Hawk’s Channel in your motorboat, at a point off the southerly tip of Cudjoe and the northerly tip of Sugar Loaf, with a stiff easterly breeze whipping the sea into whitecaps—what a convenience it and | would. be if you could run into. the channel, separating the keys, and continue to the S00 | bay side‘of the islands, now in the lee, and’ i there:connect withthe island’ waterway leadingyto Key West! ~~~ : That is the channel] that the Key West Chamber of Commerce.is trying. to have deepened. The chamber has sent a resolu- tion to the United States Army engineers, in Jacksonville, recommending that the channel be put into usable condition. The Wright interests, which devel- oped the Pirates Cove Fishing Camp, deep- ened the channel, though not sufficiently, to the landing connecting with the tract on which are constructed their cabins and cottages. As you could go to the lee, when a -heavy. breeze is blowing from the east, northeast or southeast, so you could sail to.the southerly side of the islands from the bay, when it is blowing from the west and northwest. a ; : And the convenience is not confined, any means, to-escaping from rough seas. vPteasure or commertial boats‘¢dul use'the hannel when, it, was) found, to, the advan, ageot th¢ir occupants to cut through,from Hawh’s:Channel-to-the- inland waterway, or vice Wersa. etl A system of good waterways is essen- tial to the development of the Florida Keys, and, as a beginning, the Pirates Cove Chan- nel, as many call it, were it improved, would be a decided stride in that direction.

THE JAPS WILL COLLAPSE The hard fighting on Okinawa leads many socalled experts to predict that we will find similar difficulties throughout Japan. This reminds us of the similar predic- tions about what we would find in Ger- many. It was said that the West Wall would cost hundreds of thousands of lives, that the passage of the Rhine would be all bat prohibitive in human costs and that, thereafter, we would face subterranean re«: sistance inside Germany that would require years of bitter fighting. The predicted difficulties: did not:ma- terialize. It may be safe to assume that ‘the’ same will be true in the Far East... The Jap; anese fight desperately upon Okinawa be- cause it is a key to the defense of southern Japan. They have much to lose and conse- quently they risk much. If it becomes necessary to land troops op the Japanese home islands the course of tern seen in Europe. There will be bitter sea naneer If you sincerely desire to abolish war get to work on the job of eliminating sel- fishness from the hearts of men. 90 PER CENT RETURN HOME The American Red Cross, in its prison- ers of war bulletin for June, reveals that Adolf Hitler, late in March, 1945, gave or- ders for the execution of all American and British airmen, held captive in Germany. The Red Cross says that the order was not. obeyed by German army command- ers: because they knew that the’ American and British governments had faithfully en- deavored to carry out their obligations un- der the Geneva Convention toward enemy prisoners of war. The Red Cross reports that over 99 percent of all American prisoners captured by the Germans are now returning home and that the large volume of relief sup- plies delivered to Allied prisoners of war by the Red Cross, was made possible large- ly because of the correct observance of the Geneva Convention. The International Relief Agency ex- plains that there was a difference between concentration camps and ‘prisoner of war camps in Germany. The latter, it reports, so far as American and other Allied pr oners of war, except Russians, were con- cerned, enjoyed the protection of the Ge- neva’ Cofivention, but.that delegates.of the Red Goss were not permitted to visit‘den- ari) .}¢entration camps’ for German and’ ther nd slaye.laborgrs, “Whenever you begin to! worry’ about what is happening to the Japs just recall the fate of our sailors, treacherously done to death at Pearl Harbor. political prisoner HOW TO AVOID WAR “At the bottom of everybody’s heart the fighting will probably follow the pat- there is the feeling that if America and Britain stick together, our children and fesistance on the beaches and throughout grandchildren will not have to fight an- the initial phases of the great military op- eration. Losses will be heavy, no doubt, but there will come a stage in the advance @ our forces when Japanese resistance, war will end.
