DEPHOVEMENTS FOR KEY WEST Py ADVOCATED BY THE CITIZEN 1. ‘More Motels and Apartments. & Consolidation of County and City Gov- ernments. & Community Auditorium = ———_—_————<—<$ SS = COURAGE EXPLAINS EMPIRE is ———— The memoirs Sf Paiil Reynaud, the war prémier of France, gives testimony to the | courage of Winston Churchill and largely explains why the British Empire has been able to endure for so long. “In the latter part of May, 1940, when “tle position of our encircled armies was ale®ady very serious,” the entry of Ttaly int@ the war was expected and military ad- visers thought it would be fatal. + Under the circumstances, the: French thought it advisable to consider making ce#tain concessions ‘to satisfy Italian van- ity” and keep Italy out of the war. Mr. Chprchill, according to Premier Reynaud, me hostile “to any concessions” and sub- ently telegraphed to Paris: “I am con- ed that our real security rests on our fighting capacity.” # Subsequently, when conditions became mere threatening to the armies of France, thgf French Government again considered camecessions to Rome. The proposal was tel aphed to London and, in reply, the ish-Government revealed that it would not oppose submission of the proposal to Italy if the French felt they had come to sugh a pass, but the British Government re- fuged “to be associated with it in any shape or4orm” and expressed the opinion that the offer would only stimulate the Italian Gévernment by revealing allied distress. = Thereupon, the plan was abandoned. GOVERNMENT MEDICINE NO ANSWER = The United States had the largest group of thoroughly trained medical spec- iakets in its entire history at the beginning o€World War IJ. Jy yar service their pro- teHgional competence, plus the aid of new digs and modern Seda, were largely responsible for the fact that 96.1 per cent ofthe 1,375,000 wounded in the European theatre were saved. ~ The nation wishes its citizens and sol- di&rs to have the best possible medical ser- vifé. In connection with doing this, there ar@ powerful advocates of a compulsory national medical program which would t wage earners and employers at high rates for funds to support it, regardless of wheth- err not they desired state medical service. - Those who regard freedom of oppor- tunity as ‘one of the precious assets of America today, deny that government con- trol of medicine is the conclusive answer. } } ENOUGH People are the same all the world over, and whether it is in Key West or in China, all of them, except possibly a few war- lords or industrialists who fatten on war, are anxious for peace to come. Saturday’s Citizen published stories from London, Chungking and Okinawa ebout celebrations in connection with the end of the war with Japan. In each of those places, when the people were informed that , the report about the cessation of hostilities was false, it did not dampen their ardor in the least and they continued to parade and shout, to set off firecrackers, or fire guns, as was the case in Okinawa. * The same thing happened in Key West Sunday night. After it became known that the flash that Japan had accepted the con- ditional terms as submitted by President Truman and concurred in by Great Britain, Russia and China, was false, the celebration went on in Key West just the same, Whistles continued to blow, automo- bile horns continued to toot, and the fire- works display in the-Navy Yard was kept up for more than half an hour. ‘ The reason for that attitude was the same in Key West Sunday as it had been in | London, Chungking and Okinawa Satur- day: the celebrators were confident that, if the war was not over, the time was not far off when it would be over. Japan has been crushed, and the Allies know it; not even the most fanatical Jap is able to hope longer for any way out of the war than through unconditiona} surrender. For several weeks the Japs, over Radio Tokyo, tried to be impressive by declaring i that they would fight to the “bitter end”, while they realized the bitter end had been reached already. That bragging was merely the prelude of the bully to his crying out, “Enough!” The virtues of mathematics is that the student can always get the answers—in the back of the book. There is an impression in the U, S. Senate that the Constitution makes a sen- ator tise commander-in-chief in time of war. SECRET WEAPON EXPLODES The atomic bomb which fell on Hiro- shima a week ago represents what may be described as the first actual use of a “secret weapon” in the present war. Description of the devasting effect of the atomic bomb is somewhat incomplete but the statement that it is 2,000 times more powerful than the British “earthquake” | bomb, which carried about eleven tons of explosives, gives an idea of its power. President Truman says the bomb “has more power than 20,000 tons of TNT.” This means that the explosive effect, in a limited range, is about equal to the explosive pow- er of the bombs carried by a fleet of Super- fortresses, numbering between 1500 and | 2,000. Until the scientific experts reveal the exact nature of the process involved in the production of this unprecedented power, we can only suppose that it is caused by the dis- integration of the atom. Men of science have been interested for many years in the possibility of reducing all matter to a single constituent and recent theories have sug- gested that nergy and matter répresent the same force in differént form. The explosive power of the unexplained bomb evidently represents a successful at- tempt to transmeute matter into energy, thus releasing the almost unbelievable force of nature that contains the mysterious elec- trons., This is the time for the farmer of Europe to produce in order that the people | of Europe may eat.
