A Key Wester, who had resided in Havana 23 years, said yesterday, “Well, 1 thought I was doing everything for the best, and it turned out to be the worst for me.” peter ely entitled to ively oe eredl this ‘and poset ra of 10 cents a tne.

The fact that the premier finds it necessary to follow Hit- ler’s example and to pretend that the pres- ent belligerency of his nation is designed te establish these principles is extremely interesting, indicating the existence of some sentiment in support of them inside Japan. The Japanese thesis that the war is’ being fought “for the liberation of East Asia”. that brutal and inhuman acts of both America and England make it impos- sible to follow a ‘policy based on justice and righteousness, and that the “tyrannical at- titude” and “evil designs” of the United States and Great Britain “jeopardize the existence and safety” of Japan is not sup- ported by the record. The people of this country should not jose sight of the Nine Power Treaty, signed by the United States, Great Britain and Japan, under which the contracting pow- ers agreed to respect the territorial integ- rity of China and to follow the Open Door policy in regard to her econgmic develop- ment. The terms of the treaty haye been dis- rewarded by Japan. Initial Japanese ag- gression against China, before. the World. War began, produced no repercussions and eneouraged the Japanese to extend their aggression. The great war in Europe, engaging the full attention of Great Britain and Rus- ia, persuaded the Japanese that the time had come for the empire to make its bid for supremacy in the Pacific. The United States, it was believed, was so threatened by the Axis in Burope as to be unable to re- act powerfully against Japan. The Japanese made a serious mistake, a they are planning to realize. Despite obligations in Europe, the United States has managed, almost unaided, to bring about conditions in the Racific that insure the witimate defeat of Japan. Unfortunately, this Was not apparent to the Japanese who were undoubtedly misled by ‘pacifist and tsolationist sentiment in the United States end our willingness to follow a progressive poliey of disarmament despite ominous signe of danger in the world. While there is no way of knowing, we doubt if the Japanese would have attacked at Peart Harbor, despite the war in Europe, if the United States had not permitted its national defenses to drop to such a dan- gerous low level as to invite aggression. The possibility of this fact should serve as @ guide to the nation and lead us to main- tain atmed forces sufifcient to deter simi- lar aggfeasion in future years, He was talking about keeping the bulk of his ‘cash in Cuban banks, instead of the Royal. Bank of Canada or the branch of the First National Bank of New York, and, when the erash came, he lost all but a com- paratively small pereentage of his money. “I deposited in the Cuban banks be- cause I had no diffigulty in borrowing from them.” We frequently hear the remark that such and such a banker is hardboiled, but we forget that, behind the reason for his being hardboiled, is his care in protecting his depositors’ money. That remark was made to the Key Wester, who had accumulated a fortune of a quarter million in Cuba, only to lose prac- tically all of it, and he replied that he real- ized it to be true. Further, he said that he also realized, at the time he was depositing his money, that the best place for it, so far as its safety was concerned, was in either of the two banks that did not fail when the crash came in 1929. That term “hardboiled” is often ap- plied to a parent, but one may be sure that he assumes that attitude toward his off- springs for their own good. The easy-going father or mother is likely to have easy- going children, who will find the going hard later in lifc. ! Protection against adverse eventuali- ties is the surest way to protect one’s fu- ture, whether it concerns his bank deposits or the ordinary things in life with which he is confronted daily. The best way to show a returning service man that his people appreciate his service record is to make it a community business to see that he gets a job. Years ago the Miami papers blazoned forth the slogan, “Watch Our Smoke” in reference to the Magic City’s phenomenal growth, It is now being watched physic- ally. ' | JAP*BALLOON OFFENSIVE Japanese paper balloons which have brought small bombs as far as Michigan, into various western states, Canada and Mexico, will be replaced, according to Jap- anese propped spokesmen, by. ‘‘strato- apheresFaljoo jmanned by death- defying Japan lots.” The Japanese news agenty, Domei, says that the first pilotless balloon was launched against the United States on March 10th and that hundreds have been released from Japan every day since that time. “They are creating havoc in the en- emy country,” declares Colonel Shozo Nak- ajina, spokesman of the Japanese armed forces. The Japanese claim that their balloons have a ceiling of nearly 60,000 feet, be- yond the reach of interceptors, and take just over 100 hours to reach the United States. So far, the only fatalities reported in this country occurred when a small group, an outing,,handled one of the bombs, en oxDipae killing five per- sons, The ity exists‘tHat the Japan- ese, who have developed the suicide- plane attack, may find balloonists willing to risk the long journey to the United States in order to drop a few small bombs. The dam- age to be expected would be small but the possibility exists that some balloons may reach the United States. If you were looking for a livery stable in England you would have to ask for a “horse depository.” If you were looking for a livery stable in the United States you, probably, couldn’t find one. REBUKING CRITICS High-ranking officials of the Nav taking cognizance of some home-front crit- icism of the Army’s role on Okinawa, are emphatie in denying that the Army bun- gled the ground campaign and Vice-Ad- miral Richmond:Kelly Turner, who was the commander of our amphibious fortes at Okinawa, says that so far as he is con- cerned, there was no difference between Army, Navy and Marines out where the fighting took place. Secretary of the Navy Forrestal chal- lenged the critics who attempted to blame the Army command, saying that it is “easy to make after-the-fact conclusions” but the | fact remains that we are winning on Oki- nawa and that more than 68,000 Japanese have been Killed on the island. “|in the Far East EX PSTERDAY: Cu Cynthia salad mata ee paar excuses both of them, then sat thinking] “Th must be somet in pos alee @ while food a i. idea Bah a oe a way to ti though wan! but “after Seting the children ‘atl te Ce Pls mn nom |The Ned displayed a. wate oe ve. ou had’ Y tisfied pla there turned back to the jeuse.
