usually warm weather and the
lack of snow in Maryland this win
ter has enabled the three Civilian
Conservation Corps camp carry

in the State to do considerable
work that would normally be de-

During the past two months
the three camps have constructed
more than 2,700 rods of fence pro.

and for the rearrangement of
field boundries for improved crop

and other distractions have been
removed in preparation for strip
cropping of about $50 acres.

30 DR0WNINGS
HELDACCIDENT

The mass drowning of 80 emer'
gency levee workers in the Missis.
Sippi River, near Madrid, Mo-, on
January 80, was not due to negli.
gence of any responsible Govern.
ment employe, the War Depart.
ment reported yesterday.
Following an official inveStiga.
ton of the tragedy, the report
said:
THE War Department sin
cerely regrets that an accident of
this type has resulted in such a
heavy loss of life among the
workers who had SO successfully
waged the fight to hold the levee
line.
THE War department does
not believe any of the Govern
ment employees can be directly
charged with responsibility for
this accident with all circum
stances and conditions taken
into consideration. The investi
CATION did not develop that there
was any evidence whatsoever of

The drowning occurred when a
flat boat. loaded with approx
mately 125 men, sank while the
men were being conveyed to New
Madrid. Thus far "a bodies have
been recovered.

Britain, France Resist
NaZi Colony Claim

NDON, Feb. IL 0.N.S,)
Britain and France are prepared
to help Germany through finan-

from colonies, including former
Reich possessions. but neither
country is prepared to give up
any former German colonies to
Chancellor Hitler.
This was understood today to
have been made clear by Lord
Halifax. lord privy seal and acting
foreign minister, to German Am
basSador Joachim Won Ribbentrop.
The German envoy was told
that in event of general Euro
pean settlement Britain and
France were prepared to arrange
to supply whatever ra wmaterialS
Germany wished to purchase from
colonies.
Question for League
These arrangements, Lord Hall
fax said. however, would have to
be made through the League of

explore the question of credits to
Germany for this purpose so that

1888 in preparation for war and
in answer to Germany's demand
for restoration of colonies.
This was learned today following
Chancellor of the EXchequer Ne
vile Chamberlain'S request to the
House of Commons for power to
raise four hundred million pounds
(two billion dollars) to meet part
of the governments defense ex-
penditureS.
Plan SO-Year Loans
Proposed loans to meet the ex-
penditures will be spread over
period of 80 years so that coming
generations will bear the burden
of Britain's determination to meet
any challenge.
1t was learned the four hundred
million pounds requested by Cham
berlain represents only part of
the planned expenses for increased
rearmament since previous budg-
cts already have provided two
hundred million pounds for addi-
tional rearming and the next
budget is expected to show another
one hundred million pounds. If
this expectation is borne out, the
total planned for actual rearma-
ment may reach seven hundred
million pounds.

DEFENSE WEEK
TO STRESSAIR
PREPARATION

With President Roosevelt and
ranking officers Of the Army and
Navy participating, this years Ma
tional Defense Week program will
place particular emphasis on the
necessity for adequate defense in
the air.
Although the observance got
under way today throughout the
country. with speeches and patri-
Otto meetings scheduled in many
cities. national and local officers
of the R. O. A. were not plan
ming any formal ceremonies in ad-
vance of the annual meeting of
the organization national Coun-
Gil here next Thursday
President Roosevelt is to be
asked to make two speeches in OBJ
servanCe of Defense Week, one Of
these over the radio.
Secretary of War Harry Wood
ring Maj. Gen. Malin Craig. chief
OF staff of the Army. prominent
officers of the Army and Navy serv-
ice, Senators and House members
are expected to participate in the
weeks program by appearing be-
fore the national council when it
meets for a threeday session.
WeStOver Is Frank
In the January issue of the Re
serve Officer, official publication
of the R. o. A, Maj. Gen. Oscar
WeStoVer chief of the Army air
corps, discusses Defense in the

ployed by Army Officers since the
resignation from the service of
Brig. Gen. Billy" Mitchell several
years ago. following a long con-
troVerSy with his superiors over
air policy. 1t was ItalyS ability

at the same time prevent England
from interfering with this military
operation, he decalres.
General w eS tower attributes
what he calls the present feverish
activity in Great Britain's aero
nautical production to her sud-

teTanean lis no longer a British
lake" He writes:
'It is hopeless fO rany nation
to attempt to maintain its ma
tional integrity without an ade-
quate air force.
WHY BRITAIN HESITATED
"There were many nations
who, fearing that war might
spread to the continent of
Europe, desired to put an end
to Italy's venture, and probably
would have taken the necessary
steps. except for the fear of a
general European conflict. The
Italians kept in Italy the

were able, in conjunction with
other factors, to effectively
threaten Great Britain's utiIiza-
tiOn for naval operations of
that part of the Mediterranean
lying between Sardinia and the
Coast of Greece and the north
ern coast of Africa.
"Dut to the serious threat of
the Italian air forces to the
British fleet and to its bases in
the Mediterranean, England
was forced to moderate her pol
icy of sanctions against Italy,

WORKERS AND POWER b.

Some interesting facts Concerning the
relation of workers tor,horsepowergrin diff
ferent industries are contained in the re-
port of a recent study which compares the
number of employees required in utilizing
certain blocks of electric power in three
types of industrial plants located in Ala
bama.
The three plants selected for this COM
parison were hosiery mill in Decatur, a
steel plant in the Birmingham district,
and carbide plant in the Sheffield area,
whose maximum demands for power are
stated to be 200 kilowatts, 10000 kilo-
watts, and, 10000 kilowatts, respectively
Expressed in terms of horsepower, these
figures would equal 267 for hosiery, 12O,
600 for steel and 1888 for carbide.
According to the study mentioned,
the hosiery mills 267 horsepower would
provide for 500 employees, thus requiring
only .53 horsepower per employee.
The steel plant, with 10000 horse
power, would provide for $4,000 en-
ployees, the demand being 4.45 horse
power per man.
The greatest power requirement per
employee is seen in the carbide plant,
whose 1888 horsepower would provide
for only 800 employees, the demand being
17T.77 horsepower per worker.
Comparing the two extremes, it may
be seen that the 1888 horsepower re-
quired for 800 carbide employees would
supply enough power to operate 200
hosiery mills each employing 500 men and
women, or total of 100000 workers.
Stated another way, the carbide plant will
absorb 335 times as much power per en-
ployee as the small hosiery mill
Thus it is Shown tAat0the Ealae of a
given industry to a community may not be
determined by the amount of power used,
but by the number of people the power is
capable of putting, to work. Il n aEs0

JOHN BROWNS PAY CHECK

According to an article by Frank r.
Kent, current slackening of government
borrowing is deceiving phenomenon. In
stead of borrowing directly from the banks
or the people through the issuance of
bonds, the government has now adopted a
policy of spending the funds supposedly
placed in trust with the government, by
the people, under the Social Security act.
In other words, the money which is taken
out of John Browns weekly pay check,
and which the government has promised to
set aside to care for him in old age or
when he is unemployed, is promptly being
dumped into the public treasury for gen.
eral expenses!
The public treasury has simply he
come vast and seemingly bottomless
grab bag. Politicians seeking to per
petuate themselves in office gleefully ply
the treasury for money. and more money
money that is spent on everything from
out-houses to cash registers. For the first
IA days days of the current fiscal year the
government spent $3.50. sos, 1888 its re.
ceipts were S675.s75. So. 80; deficit. S279.-
29,621.39.
What Will become Of John Browns
hard earned savings If such a policy Is
continued for long? What do you think?

AN OVERSEAS BRIDGE RECORD

A rather remarkable record is being
made at the Overseas Bridge construction
camps.
AS yet, not felony has been charged
against any of the bridge workers.
There have been, of course, minor
disturbances, and several 'Tll knock your
block off, scenes, but beyond this the
peace has not been disturbed.
The record is remarkable especially
by comparison. When the Overseas rail-
road bridges were built, at least two homi-
eide cases were booked, and several other
grave charges were entered on police
books against the men employed. Police
have learned almost to expect trouble
sooner or later at any large working camp.
But they are still rubbing their eyes over
the reign of peace on the Keys the past
two years.
The entire county of Monroe has been
fortunate in this respect Not one homi-
eide has been recorded here in police
records since 1884.
Two such striking achievements speak
we'll for city and county.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-11-12

full optimists insist, no one can say.
But the query inevitably arises. as to
how much more prosperity we must
have before it will produce enough
revenue to equal all the spending
that official Washington seems deter
mined upon. Secretary Wallace has
just announced a scheme of margin
ing" farmers on their corn crops to
the extent of IS cents bushel. He is
reported to have said that the money
will be found. some way, for this
gamble on future weather and crop
conditions in the corn belt.
Few persons appear to realize how
seriously concerned they ought to be
over the governments financial out
look. Nothing can be more certain
than that the budget can never be
balanced if this cannot be done at the
height of prosperity. In another
slump. relief costs will rise rapidly
while revenues will decline. What re-
mains? Nothing but more borrowing,
and when this fails, the printing
presses will start grinding out legal
tender paper money to pay the bills.
It is the sheerest folly to assume that
because they have been idle thus far.
it will always be so. Senator Norris
said last summer that it would be a
simple matter of currency expansion,
to issue some paper money to pay the
governments debt. He entirely over
looked the fact that when Germany,
Russia and other countries began their
disastrous postwar printing press in
flation. they thought at the outset that
they were engaging only in simple
matter of currency expansion. They
learned differently later. to their
sorrow.
1t is a strictly non-partisan truth
Of the greatest significance, that a
political and administrative group
which has been responsible for great
spending is not capable of doing the
necessary economizing afterwards.
All of its ducks are swans. To ask
such group to decide among its pet
projects. when it comes to cutting ex-
penSeS, Is like asking parents which
of their children shall be thrown to
the wolves. The federal budget must
have some of its water squeezed out.
if it is ever to be brought into balance
with enough left ever to do anything
about the debt If the country ever
wants this financial result to happen,
1t must put new set of faces in Wash
ington, faces that will look with cold
and fishy eyes on the spending prof.
ects that are the darlings of the pres
ent group. 1t matters not what their
party. 1t is only necessary that they
be sent there to show how TO cut ex-
penses and not to devise other ways of
spending money.

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From The Files OF The Citizen

Almost enough money is in
sight to insure lighting of the
White Way for the next six
months. Slightly more than ST.
900 has been collected in the week
of canvass for this purpose. APP
proximately $3.50 is required.
The canvass which is being made
by j. R. Showers, Joe Pearlman,
and Frank Lewinsky has not been
confined to owners of property on
Duval street. Instead, firms in
all sections of the city have been
called on either in person or by
letter. Promoters of the move
ment say that it would be a
blemish on the city's record to
have visitors come and see the
White Way unlighted. For this
reason they believe that, while
owners of property in the affected
area should stand the brunt of
the expense, they also feel that
every citizen should have a deep
interest in the movement and pay
part of the cost.
