West that many people, who came ‘here to do war work, will leave in the next four months, which is a very good, reason why civic organizations generally should start now to do whatever they can to have tour- ists come here during the winter. months. While nobody knows definitely what conditions, regarding the number of per- sons who will be here by. the end of the year, yet we do know that the trend;.ever nouftced today. 7 willbe given furloughs bis rman FERA forces in-Key West will be, curtailed shortly, it was ar- Thirty employes on Sep- Lawrence » Pierce, brother of since V-E Day, in business has béen'deeti ing, and an impetus was given to. th cline when the Japs surrendered. }j:.) - ’ : In normal years, business in Key “West bak“ ar rier ag —— would be at its lowest ebb at this time, with | © a pick up in the early fall. But the people here, as well as: elsewhere in the country, have not adjusted themselves fully to peacetime conditions, . As a result, business in Key West now A is still better than it was during any month in the immediate ‘pre-war wotld. The fall- ing off of business is considered. in com- paring it with what it was when the war was in progress, whichis: not a fair com- parison because times were abnormal then. 1.

The airmen were led through the streets of Russelsheim several days after they had been captured. Two women spied them and shouted, “Beat them! Beat them!” That is what the Germans did and here is how they did it: Following the fliers the infuriated _ Nazis pelted them with rocks, bricks and pieces of slate and some beat: them with sticks, clubs and even metal weapons, One boy, unable to walk.further, because of a piece of slate sticking in the back of his head, knelt in the street; putting his face in his hands. A Nazi walked up and kick- ed him in the face, Finally, the American airmen were down and helpless. They were attacked with sticks, stones and metal hammers. Finally, the unconscious men. were shot. One German witness said: “They were strong men, the fliers, and they were very young.

No doubt they will be punished, as they should be punished, and the meth- od of their punishment should be sufficient to warn all people, everywhere, and for all time, that mistreatment of” rican fighting man carries, in ‘time, imgVitable penalties. There will be some muddle-headed pacifists in this country: to excuse the Nazis, and to suggest that their crime be overlooked, now that the war is over. This is a-foolish argument. The United States has.overlooked too many affronts and in- dignities in the past, including the sinking ofitlie Panay. It is time for this nation to sef¥e effective notice that there is no ex- cuse’for mistreating American citizens, in- clading those who fight for their country. »-The end of the war will result in a the practice of Paul Smith, who sells books here in the winter, in reminding ‘his cus- tomers in Provincetown, Mass., what a de- lightful place Key West is in winter.

According to a Miami paper, the stock market rocketed sky-high last Friday, one of the stocks jumping from 9 and one-eight to 2609 and one-eight. Since there are some Key Westers: holding this stock they made small fortunes over-night, one inves- tor owning 100 shares: made $260,912.50— all on paper. The quotation was a huge typographical error of more than a quarter of a million dollars. SHAW DISAPPOINTING George Bernard Shaw suggests’ that “monkeying with the atom” may loose en- ergy that will explode the world into a cloud of stardust and eremate the inhabi- tants with “simultaneous thoroughness”. We are disappointed in Mr. Shaw. He is usually on the side of bizarre notions the danger may be more than the possi- | W. bility of gain. Despite his advice the scientists of the world will continue to work along the lines of atomic research. Some day they will present the world with cheaper power and this will mean less work for everybody a good thing for world. We are mote. deeply concerned with the stability of man himself, whether the human race is prepared for a life of lit- tle work. Infact, there is more danger in the possible disintegration of man than in the explosion of any uranium bomb. Let us be up and atom!

The British premier was also the man who boaste@ that “if given the tools we will finish the job”. Not only did the United States furnish the tools, but it also furnished food, money and men, and gets in return undeserved criticism in- stead of thanks. It reminds us of the little boy and the man with the axe to grind. And England still owes the United States millions of dollars from the last war on ‘ which she has ‘paid nothing but instead built Queen Marys and Queen Elizabeths, in competition with this country’s foreign trade, NO CHANGE IN POLICY When Ernest Bevin, Foreign Secretary of the British Labor government, conclud- ed his maiden speech upon foreign affairs he was congratulated by his predecessor, Anthony Eden, who declared that Bevin spoke for all parties in enuneiating the for- eign policy of the nation. This makes it plain that there will be no radical alteration of British Policy as a result of the change in governments.
