“Ae long as there is freedom of the press in the United States, there will be ed- Horial criticiem, because there is practical- ly never unanimity of opinion on any impor- tant subject.” This ix the reply of Under-Secretary Joseph C. Grew, of the State Department, te @ group of representatives, which asked some questions about the foreign policy of the United States. The Congressmen want- ed to know what had “caused responsible editorial criticism?” Along the same line, Mr. Grew de- eared, “lt is regrettable that when differ- enees arise, one group of opinion or an- other often endeavors to build the differ- ences into fundamental! issues which are difficult to solve, even in an atmosphere of patience and mutual understanding.” This utterance will have no effect @pen the efforts of various groups in the United States to stir up popular opinion on sabjects of international importance to na- tienes with which we maintain friendly asso- ciations. The partisans, many of them hyphen- sted-Americans, are not concerned with the difficulties that confront the State Department, or “an atmosphere of patience and mutual understanding.” What they want ls results and they adopt the preval- ent practice of propaganda and pressure. TYPHOON BATTERS FLEET American warships, operating in Far astern waters, have about conquered the enemy fleet but they have no way to escape the fury of nature, which continues to un- leash the typhoons that sweep the seas be- tween the Philippines and Japan. ‘This is the time of the year for the cy- storms that are known as hurricanes in # hemisphere and as typhoons ‘in @hima. They are not as destructive as tor- Gadoes but otherwise they take top rank @mong storms. _ it ie now revealed that the Third Fleet Was buffetted by a recent typhoon which @amaged more ships than the Japanese have injured in any single battle. That a @tuiser was badly hurt and battleships toss- ef around like rafts gives a fair idea of the force in such a tempest. No method has yet developed to ac- Ghrately predict the advent of these rotat- eg winds. Consequently, it is safe to assume that ne major amphibious operation will be @tempted until the “storm season” ends in the Par East. There will be no repetition, our leaders can prevent it, of the historic- @ deliverence of Japan from invasion by 2 sppearance of the big blow, which the pronounced the “Divine Wind.” { With apologies to Gay: Small faults i® greatest characters show; the smallest sieck is seen on snow. : A man’may be led into temptation omee, but after that he seems to find his way to it easily enough without being led.

OUT OF TALLAHASSEE a Sree. < Three. most important stories came The legislature passed a reapportion- ment bill, giving the south two senators that, heretofore, had been in the northern bloc. It was a triumph for right and fair- ness and justice, and the majority in the house that held out unflinchingly should be commended for not conceding a single point to the senators in the northern and western parts of the state who held out so long against the mandate of the state con- stitution. Representative Papy, during each of his trips home since the extra session be- gan, assured the peaple of Key West through The Citizen, that the majority in the House would “stick it out to the bitter end.” And they “stuck”, as a result of which south Florida, in some measure at least, people of this part of the state. 4 A second story concerned the supreme court’s ousting Leslie Quigg as poli hief in Miami. In making that decision, t used strong language in denouncing Quigg’s “incompentency”. Anybody who is familiar with Quigg’s record will applaud theg®urt’s decision. The Miami Herald figured in the third story, The supreme court, by a vote of five to two, upheld the conviction of contempt in Dade county circuit court of the Herald and John D. Pennekamp, its associate edit- or. The Citizen discussed this case edit- orially at the time the paper and Penne- kamp were adjudged in contempt, and said it was not familiar with the case. At that time The Citizen pointed out that “free- dom of the press” does not mean that a paper is privileged to abuse that freedom. An American is a free man but there are limits to his freedom; it does not, for in- stance, give him a right to interfere with the freedom of another man. And so it is with the press and the courts: there are limitations to their free- dom, and if either steps beyond those limit- ations it can be brought to task through the operation of the law of the land. Justice Terrell, who wrote the major- ity opinion, said, “The vice in both the edi- torials was the distorted and inaccurate statement of the facts and with that state- ment were scrambled false insinuations’, ete., and Justice Buford, who wrote the dis- senting opinion, declared he saw nothing in the editorials or cartoon “which imputes a want of fairness, impartiality or integrity to any judge of the court.” So there you have it, and the supreme court of the United States will decide which judge’s view is correct. Most reforms are wrecked when they touch the pocket-book. The less one knows, the easier it is to reach a positive conviction.

Arnold, Chief of the Army Air Forces, says that the peak of our aerial bombardment of Japan will be reach- ed next March or April when an estimated 166,000 tons of bombs will be falling upon enemy territory monthly. In 1946, the General asserted, Japan will get three times the bomb tonnage that fell on Germany in any one year. What will this mean for Japan explains the appre- hension of Japanese leaders and the frant- ic efforts of enemy officials to persuade the people of Japan to support the war effort. The best way to sleep soundly is to live sensibly and think sanely. The main defect of the human race, as we see it, is that by the time the individ- ual gets old enough to know anything life ends. ENEMY-DIRECTED The Federal Bureau of Investigation announces that in the year ending June 30, last, it investigated 19,396 cases of report- ed sabotage. The FBI says that none was found to be enemy-directed. This will probably sur- prise many Americans but the fact is that there has been practically no proof what- ever that enemy-directed sabotage existed in the United States during the war against Germany. was given what rightly belonged to the | Full Pay While Learning Vacations With Pay Sickness“Benefits !
