FOREIGN DOMESTIC TOTA

Through the representative of the u S.
Lighthouse service, i am informed that an
average of $50 vessels per day pass imme-
diately adjacent to Key West. The prob
lem presented is to encourage and increase
the foreign commerce already flourishing
in Key West as in no other port in Florida
and to set up conditions which will make it
financially advantageous for many addi-
tional vessels to make Key West a
terminal

KEY WEST AS A FREE PORT

KEY WEST AS A FREE PORT
An effort has been made in this report
to explain very briefly the principles
which govern the location of a Free Port.
Key West has harbor that is incompara-
bly, better than any other in southeastern
United States. Strategically it is the
Gibraltar of the Gulf. 1t has rail and high
way communication with all parts of the
United States and existing steamship con-
nections with Gulf, Atlantic, and foreign
ports. 1t is the southeastern point of the
United States and is the obvious meeting
point of traffic in North, South and Gen.
trail American trade.
The history of Free Ports reveals the
fact that it is hazardous to predict just
what lines of trade will develop to the
greatest extent. However, the operation
of Free Port at Key West can best be
illustrated by example. Assume rather
unfavorable case of shipment of coffee
from Brazil to New York for consumption
near that City and shipment of autOmo-
biles and farm machinery manufactured
near New York from that City to Rio for
use near that City, Under normal c0ndi-
tions of world commerce, the coffee would
be shipped by Brazilian line to New York
and the automobiles and farm machinery
by United States lines. Each ship would
return empty under the theory that every
nation must use its own lines for its prod
ucts. This practice is in every way
unbusinessiike.
Now assume the same cargoes and other
conditions except that Key West has
been developed as a Free Port. Then
both vessels sail for Key West and after
exchanging cargoes return loaded to their
respective ports where duty is paid in the
usual way. In this way ships make paying
trips in both directions and are conse-
quently able to reduce freight rates. The
voyage consumes about half the time thus
reducing the investment for the accom-
plishment of given result.
If this simple example is modified first
by assuming that the automobiles are manu-
featured in the middle West and arrive In
Key West by way of New Orleans, second
by assuming that parts of the cargo of cof-
fee are required for San Francisco, Chica-
go and Liverpool, and third by extending
the number of cargoes to cover the many
items of trade among the nations of the
Western Hemisphere, the value of a Free

.$S5,274,534

In addition to the figure given for Key
West there is an item of $2,560,OO8 for
goods forwarded in bond making a total
amount of foreign trade of practically
thirty-six million dollars for the year
The table given above contains the lat
est information available 1t represents
present conditions which are below normal
on account of the temporary depression i'm
Cuba. With the exception noted the fig
ures are the result of normal progress in
commerce. That the progress of Key
West in commercial lines is steady and on
good basis is indicated by the following
table taken from an official publication
Port and Terminal Charges at United
States Ports" compiled by the Corps of

THEORY OF FREE PORTS

Every independent nation has an inher-
ent right to provide means for its own pro-
lection and as an essential part of that pro-
lection has the right to construct ships for
the transportation of supplies. In other

land growth of these industries is depend
ent upon the same features that govern
the fishing industry and the present small
Industries should be encouraged along
with the major one.
!, Key West is certain to be included in the
system of airways of this country and will
become an important point in the system
Joining the parts of the Western Hemis-
phere. In these days of aviation progress,
no community can afford to neglect its
opportunities along aviation lines. In the
major development of Key West consider
alton should be given to the final location
of an airport in it's proper relation to the
other activities of the community.
The extension of the present wood work
ing facilities of Key West offers an oppor-
tunity for the employment of large num-
Der of men. 1t is useless to transport lum-
Der in the rough any further than neces-
sary. Key West could be made central
market for the hard wood products of
Central American and the West Indies
The wood could be graded, sorted, sawed,
split, dimensioned and finished for further
shipment to fabricating establishments
nearer the points of use. In the case of
furniture marketed in Central America or
the West Indies, fabrication could be car
ried on in Key West.
A considerable amount of boat building
is carried on in Key West. It would be adj
vantageous to consolidate these activities
particularly in view of the increasing num-
Der of yachts that may be expected in Key
West
Any increase in the commercial import
aice of the port will be accompanied by
demand for those industries that are inci-
dental to ocean traffic. These include re-
pair plants, ship chandleries. wholesale
grocery establishments, and fuel plants.
KEY WEST HARBOR
The greatest physical asset of Key West
is its harbor. Key West enjoys the dis
tinction of having the only natural deep
water harbor in south Florida. Practical
ly no money has ever been spent on the
three major entrances to the south and only
a relatively small amount of about one
million dollars in deepening the northwest
entrance. Above all, the harbor and all
Of the major entrances are self-maintain-
ing and cannot be closed. In section
where other natural harbors do not exist
and where artificial channels are subject
to sitting and to complete closure during
high winds, the Importance of the harbor
of Key West cannot be over estimated.
- The outer reef lies about six miles south
Of Key West. The main channel cuts
through the reef with depth of 80 feet
and enters an indefinitely large anchorage
area where the depth ranges from 80 to

stimulating foreign commerce by provid-
ing an intermediate point at which goods
can be exchanged without customs formal
ity as to duties, bonds and rebates. Any
foreign goods removed from the Free Port
for consumption or use in the United States
are subject to any duties that may be
legally imposed.

FUNERAL HOMERS
WHIP STAR TEAM
SCORE TWO IN EIGHTH TO
CINCH GAME; LUNN
HURLS WELL

Successfully staging a two-run
rally in the eighth inning to pro-
tect lead that was being grad
ually cut into, the Lopez Funeral
Homers beat back the Aeeyedo
Stars 5-3 in the first of five
game series last night.
Lunn, as usual, used his mix
ture of slanters to good effect and
held the Stars from any serious
rally throughout. He allowed
runs in the first, seventh and
ninth. Five hits were chalked up
against him. The Undertakes
nicked Ward only eight times, but
they hit at will.
Fielding is still rank. The Stars
contributed five miscues and the
Funeral Home club was one be-
hind in boots. ~
"a Wrinkley ingraham, veteran
star catcher for the Undertakers,
continued his sensational work by
pounding out two hits in three
trips to the plate. He also played
snappily behind the bat. Gabriel
Garcia, the bounding rubber man
of the Stars, pulled down two
wonderful catches in the outer
garden. On one he leaped high in
the air and caught the ball off The
benches in left. A speedy shoe
string catch was turned into a
double play by him in another
piece of great work.
Another game in the series will
be played Monday night. 1t will
be the last before the Lopez Fun
eral Home leaves for West Palm
Beach to compete in the state
tournament and will serve as a
final conditioner.
