He served a part ot the time and was parolled. “The case revolvesaround the mistake of bank employes and others, who identified the man as the person who deposited forged checks and drew on them. The accused, af- ter his arrest, during his trial and while in prison, repeatedly protested his innocence. Recently, when police arrested anoth- er mah, some of the detectives suspected that he might have been the guilty man. His resemblance to the innocent man was noted and®#fter considerable questioning the sus- —— dlearing the mah who had four years in. prison: for. a crime he did not commit. An interesting angle of the case is that the guilty man told the police that in 1941, im an effort to help the innocent man in prison, he determined to commit another forgery. hoping that the police could then recognize that the other man could not hove forged the checks for which he was convicted. He admits that the attempt to help the innocent man failed, but that the taneaction netted him a profit of $15,000. Pelice state that the forgeries of the guilty man were so artistic that they fooled bank experts and enabled him to steal $480,000 in fifteen years in various parts of the country. Of this amount, some $200,- 006 came from banks in the City of New York The question now arises as to what compensation can be made to the man who served « term in prison as a result of the miscarriage of justice. Under New York lew, we anderstand, he can sue the state for false imprisonme id probably ¥ ceive a money award. Nevertheless, there is no pecuniary com tion that will make geod the suffering endured by this man, his wife and family. ey NO COMPROMISE PEACE Any compromise peace with the mili- taristic regime of Japan will, we are afraid, leave @ nucleus around which the militar- istie Japanese will construct another war. This will make necessary again the sacrifice of thousands of American lives and the hext generation of our soldiers, sailors and airmen will die to complete a job that can be finished now at low cost in American lives. We say this with due appreciation of tthe enormous sacrifice that many Ameri- are completely subdued. Our sympathy — to the families and loved ones of ° now carrying the ball in the Pacific and to those who will, in the near future, be representedby husbands, sons and fath- erm transferred from the United States and Europe. Even so, the one “must” before the United States today is the humbling and effacing of Japanese militarists. There is only one way to do this job. -_—__ Negotiations between Stalin, Truman end Attlee negate the idea that relations of the Big Three nations depends upon persogglities. i HIGH POTENTIAL VALUE It was not so long ago, about the turn of the century, that Florida sold land on the Florida Keys for as little as 25 cents an acre. Almost all of Saddle Bunches and Summerland Kley was sold at, that price, and among the buyers on the latter key, for 25 cents an acre, were the late Judge Jefferson B. Browne and the late Frank Maloney, who acquired 164 acres at that price, And it should be remembered, when we come to make comparisons, that on Summerland there was a great deal of good land that sold for a quarter an acre, but yesterday in Tallahassee the Internal Im- provement Fund members refused an offer of $100 an acre for a mangrove swamp of 25 acres at Cross Key, at the southwest end of Jewish Creek. : After refusing the offer of $2,500, missioner of Agriculture Nathan Mayor re- marked that he considéred land in the Florida Keys of “high potential value”, add- ing, “It’s a good idea to take land on the keys off the market for a little while.” One drawback on the Florida Keys has been the swarms of mosquitoes that have made life miserable for people resid- ing on the upper keys and from Stock Island to Big Pine on the lower keys. But Mr. Mayo pointed out that there are prospects of ridding the keys of mosquitoes, and the pre- sumption is that he had in mind the fighting of those pests with the “wonder chemical’, DDT, the startling effects of which recently were related in The Citizen by Roland J. Adams and his son, Gerald Adams. Within 10 minutes, after a plane that was spraying DDT over the area where they reside, had completed its work, all the mosquitoes had been killed, though before the coming of the plane, Gerald Adams said his arms, face and neck, were covered with the pests. Yes, the potential value of land on the keys, as Mr. Mayo said, is high. Every individual has every reason to exercise prudence to avoid accidents; make your contribution to national safety and your own welfare. We may not know much about inter- national affairs but it is only common sense to think and’ believe that islands bought from the Japs by American blood should fly the Stars and Stripes forever. GOLDEN EGGS, GOODBYE “Labor, champing at the restraints of its no-strike pledge, is finding new ways of applying its strongest weapon—economic force—against employers,” says Business | Week. “By using such devices as mass sick- hess, work slowdowns, and refusal to stay on the job without a written contract, labor is technically in compliance with its work pledge, while actually circumventing it to press demands.” Labor overlooks the fact that a point ean be reached where it can demand more than industry can give. It overlooks the fact that practices such as it is indulging in, to the detriment of our final war effort, are costing its public good will. If it continues made by William J.

NEW WAY TO PROGRESS | The “way to peace, prosperity and | progress lies through Asia,” declares Mrs. Vijaya Laksmmi Pandit, sister of the im- | prisoned nationalist leader of India, Jawa- harial Nehru. This is a typical assertion of the pro- ponents of the theory that nothing will be right within the world unless everything few other wayside areas of the globe. Upon what basis any intelligent person can assume that the future peace, prosperi- ty and progress of the world depends upon Asia escapes our baffled mind.
