ACCUSED OF DERELICTION OF DUTY


,, .


A special commission headed by U. S. Justice Roberts investigating
the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor accused the commander-in-
chief of the United States fleet, Admiral Husband E. Kimmel (left)
and the commanding .general, Lieut.-Gen. Walter C. Short (right)
of "dereliction of duty." Representative Young of Ohio demanded
Monday that they be court-martialed, asserting that "it's time for
Americans to get tough."' President Roosevet relieved both of
their commands and they since have applied for retirement. Young
contended they should not be kept on the pay rolls as retired "at
$6000 a year each."


Two Gulf County 'Sergeant York'

Measures Taken Plays Last Times

Up By Bob Sikes At Port Today

Bills Introduced Provide for Sur- Gary Cooper Plays Role of Ten-


vey of St. Joseph's Bay and
Taking Over of Canal

A let1Tr -was--received yesterday
from Congressman Bob Sikes stat-
ing that he has just introduced. in
the house of representatives at
Washington two measures of con-
siderable importance to the resi-
dents of Gulf county.
The first of these is to provide
' survey of St. Joseph's Bay with
a view to further improvement in
the interest of commerce and navi-
gation, mainly due to the fact that
our port here is, taking on added
significance as an outlet for wa-
ter-bourne commerce from the in-
:erior since the sinkings by Axis
U-boats of vessels on the eastern
aboardr. Specifically, the deepen-
ing of the entrance channel to the
bay, the north channel, the turn-
ing basin, andi the south channel
from their present depth of 27 or
18 feet to 32 feet is sought. This
increased depth is considered es-
sential by Sikes in order to pro-
vide for increased oil shipments
and other activities.
The present rivers and harbors
'ill contains an item recommended
by Sikes which provides that the

Our Country Right or Wrong

LET'S REALLY SETTLE DOWN TO WAR
While the Japanese have swallowed Singa-
pore and threaten to swallow the Philippines,
people of the United States have yet to settle
down to their earnest task of winning the
war. Our people continue to cling to the as-
sumption that an Allied victory is a certainty
and continue to regard our apathy as some-
thing that can be brushed off "when the time
comes." We are in the position of the boxer
who has been matched with the champion,
is determined to win the fight, but has made
only a few motions toward training for the
scrap.
Our enemies will call this a breakdown ol.
democracy, but our enemies are far wrong in
assuming this. It is true taht United States
production has not yet gone into high gear.
But mainly, our lack of speed and our lack
of a sense of reality about this job hinges on
our general complacency and overconfidence
rather than any fault in the way our system
works.
Like all democracies at the beginning of
.any war, our country is big, cumbersome and
a little slow in getting underway in actual
war prosecution. But there is no failure of
patriotism. There is no unwillingness or lack
of ability to fight anywhere in the world.
There is no lack of ability to produce with
the greatest factories in the world. The main
trouble lies in our smugness and failure to
realize what may happen if we lose the whole
Far East and if our production wheels do not
begin to turn right now.
It is apparent that the Japanese have hurt
us badly, and may hurt us more. The Japan-
ese have vast quantities of airplanes and
tanks and, like the other Axis partners, have
a big jump on us in general war production.
The problems of transporting our war equip-
ment to wherever we can reach the Axis are
enormous. The fight will become infinitely
great if the Japanese succeed in taking all
the strategic points, in the Far East, cutting
us off from Australian bases .from which we
have planned major operations. The Japan-
ese must be stopped in the Far East or we
face the worst possible peril.
However, we must retain confidence in the
final outcome, a confidence based on realism
and the lessons learned from our early de-
"feats in the world. People of the United
States must be constantly reminded of what
defeat would imply-a loss of our hopes and
liberties. Our people have it in them to rise
to the greatest height of might and fury such
as the world has never seen.
We must out-hit Hitler and out-jump the
Japanese.
To accomplish that end, we must arouse
ourselves now from the lingering malady
which threatens to stifle our all-out effort.
We must realize that that there is a possi-
bility that the United Nations can lose the
war!


One St. Joe woman says she's glad of this
tire rationing. She don't have to shove the
floorboards out every fifteen minutes since
her husband seldom drives over 25 miles an
hour in an effort to conserve his tires.


TOO LITTLE AND TOO LATE
Singapore's capitulation to the Jap. in-
vaders adds another chapter .to the growing'
record of the unpreparedness of the United
Nations '
It is the old, old story of Norway.and of
Crete support for the. beleaguered garri-
son is "too little and too late." Let us hope
that MacArthur gets support at Corregidor
before it is "too late," and that that support
will not be "too little."
Needless to say, Singapore's fall has in-
creased immeasurably the difficulty of tihc
Allied position in the Far East. It has re-
moved Japan's greatest East Indies threat
and has paved the way for possible swift
Nipponese conquests of all that vast and
fabulously rich archipelago.. Furthermore, it
has placed the huge and vital continent or
Australia in a most unhappy position, inas-
much as that country's invasion by the
enemy is almost virtually assured.
Worse still, it makes available to the ag-
gressive Japanese in almost limitless quanti-
ties, those commodities, oil, rubber and tin,
needed so desperately by them for the prose-
cution of their war effort.
Democracy is.paying a fearful price for its
refusal to recognize the evidence of intended
Axis aggression. Now, handicapped by lack
of equipment and a paucity of armed men, it
apparently has no alternative but to accept
a destiny that must entail years of "blood,
sweat and tears" before victory can be at-
tained.
^s-. -^-=

GOOBERS WILL FURNISH OIL
By cutting off supplies of oils that norm-
ally have come from other countries, war
has raised the American peanut to a place
of importance that it never before has at,
trained.
To fill the gap in the oil supply, to fatten
more hogs to No. 1 size, and to satisfy othey
needs of this country and her allies, Ameri-
can farmers are being counted on to raise
5,000,000 acres of f..,-I:lut this year-3,000,000
acres more than they raised in 1941.
Florida's 1942 production goal for peanuts
for the edible trade and for oil is 273,000
acres, of which 200,000 acres will be grown
for oil and 73,000 acres for the edible trade.
This total of 273,000 acres is 179,000 acres
more than was grown in 1941, and it doesn-'
include peanut acreage that must be grown,
for hog feed and grazing.

PIPELINE IS PROVING WORTH
With the sinking of numerous oil tanker-
in the Atlantic by Axis submarines, the Port
St. Joe, Fla.,-Chattanooga, Tenn., pipeline is
proving its worth as a means of conveying
much-needed gasoline to the eastern sea-
board. Tanker after tanker from the Texas
refineries docks here to discharge cargoes of
gasoline which is immediately pumped to the
northern terminus of the line.
In fact, the value of such lines has now be-
come so obvious that Secretary of Interior
Ickes, petroleum co-ordinator, this week rec-
ommended the construction of an $80,000,000
pipeline system from Texas to the Philadel-
phia-New York area.


One country has certainly lost the war.
That country is Italy. Late reports indicate l
she amounts to little more than a German I
province. At the present time, Italians are
permitted but three and one-half ounces of ,
meat a week, one-fifth of a pint of milk per l
day, and two and one-half ounces of butter
a month. Even oil, basis of Italian cooking, a
is limited to one-half pint per person per
month. Mussolini's German friends are liter-
h
ally bleeding the country white of foodstuffs i
and other supplies, v


A lot of old-timers have been saying that 0
the automobile would never replace the h
horse, but it's taken 40 years and the Japan- a
ese to prove their point. i
