GERMANY FIGHTS THE WORLD

Following up the peace of Munich
the German government has increased the
Reich standing army to one million men,
making it the largest peacetime army in
the world, with the exception of Russia.
Moreover, the German government
is using half of its expenditure for the
purpose of rearmament and the nation is
regimented for single purpose, that is, to
make effective warfare.
Of course, the economic situation i'm
Germany is bad. 1t has reverted to a
barter system in international trade, not
because of preference, but because it can
not finance trade any other way. Even
DR.. Schacht. financial wizard, admits this
and calls upon other nations to make it
possible for Germany to go back to former
trading methods. He says the new system
was forced upon Germany by American
and British tariff increases and the French
quota system"
Every sensible person knows that
Germany is dissatisfied with its lot in the
world and that its rulers have determined
70 use force to secure advantages when
ever and wherever possible. As a result
other nations are rearming in order TO
make sure that Hitler and his minions, in
Guiding his allies, will not be able to take
by force what they possess.

PEOPLES FORUM

has been even remotely connect
ed with Naval affairs in any part
of this country knows that this
Navy Yard should be equipped
with a large dry dock. One that
will accommodate the largest
type of cruisers contemplated by
the recent naval program.
Jacksonville and Tampa are too
far away in case of an accident
to the hull of a battleship in or
near the coastal limits of Key
West. Besides, those dry docks
are too small to receive the larg-
est type of naval vessels.
During the time of the Span
ish-American war the U.S.S. Mas
sachusettS ran on some rocks near
Dry Tortugas, and it would have
been very convenient if the Navy
had had dry dock at Key West
at that time.
When the U.S.S. Brooklyn was
fully loaded and on its way 10
join the fleet near Cuba in the
war above referred to, the winds
and ice drove that battleShip off
its course and upon the rocks,
which made it necessary to take
that ship to the only dry dock
then available and which was
surrounded with heavy ice jams.
The repairs to the hull had to be
carried on day and night during
very severe winter weather in or
der to make the ship ready to re-
join the fleet before Cervera ar
rived with the Spanish fleet. All
the stores and ammunition had
to be taken off the ship and re-
placed after the repairs were
completed.
Had this work been possible in
dry dock located in a milder
climate, the repairs could have
been completed in one-half the
time required by the shipwrights
working in snow and ice and UNI
der the worst climatic conditions.
1t is recommended that the pro-
posed dry dock for Key West be
at least 1000 feet long and 200
fec; wide at the top so as to ac-
commodate two su b m ar n S
abreast for repairs, repainting,
etc.
1t is also recommended that
gates or caissons be placed at
both ends with two intermediate
ga es so that one ship can be TAX
en- out without stopping the

A CHRISTMAS PRESENT

There was real Christmas present
for Key West wrapped up in the an
nouncement that a wing of Is naval sea-
planes, two destroyers and a seaplane
tender, together with 65 officers and 800
enlisted personnel, would be here for two
months or more beginning Jan. 8, in con-
nection with battle fleet maneuvers being
arranged when the Pacific fleet passes in
to the Atlantic this winter i'@-
Presence Of the planes and vessels in
Key West will bring a considerable volume
Of publicity for the city, attract attention
to the fact facilities here for handling
auxiliary naval craft are unexcelled and
focus official interest on the plan to de-
velop an airport on Stock Island. The
need for such an airport is indicated by the
fact the 18 naval planes are to be based
at the old naval air training station on
Trumbo Island, use of which has been
derson Properties, Inc. There is no other
spot at present available for Bleaching sea-
planes after they have alighted on the
waters of Florida Bay.
The visit of the naval seaplanes and
vessels also will be a source of consider
able revenue for the merchants and other
commercial interests of the city. They
will call for and demand certain services
and supplies that will give our people adj
ditional employment this winter. Many
visitors will come here and will take an
avid interest in the fleet of air and sea
ships and the officers and men who handle
them. 1t will be show worth coming
miles to see and the visitor influx will add
to the volume of trade and commercial ac-
tivity in Key West.
Plans for first-class airport on
Stock Island have been prepared by WPA
and the job probably would be undertaken
if the city can scrape up the money to
pay its portion of the cost. There would
be three 2500-foot runways and ample ad-
jacent water space for seaplane opera
tons. The project would require a large
amount of fill and considerable work
clearing and grabbing the land Fill is as
sured. The State Highway Department
has agreed to donate the old roadbed of
the Florida East Coast railroad This
can be moved to the proper spots at small
cost. Additional fill can be taken from a
pit at the north end of the island.
Directors Of the Key West Golf club
have gone on record as being opposed to
the airport development because it would
encroach on the present nine-hole course
and eliminate the area on which it was
hoped to develop an additional nine holes
There seems to be no expectation of i'm
mediate development of the island into an
1S-hole golf course, so that The Citizen
believes the Key West golfers should yield
gracefully in the interest of the creation
of an airport that would pay dividends to
every business and commercial interest in
the city. If Key West had a good airport
with seaplane facilities there is no question
it would be utilized by the army and navy
air forces-a step in the re-establshment
of the Key West Naval Station and Army
Barracks on an active basis.

One of the results of the con-
ference viii be to focus the at
tentlon of the people of the Unit

work upon the other ships in the
dry dock.
1t is also recommended that
this dry dock be built of concrete
and faced with granite, similar in
all respects to the dry dock now
owned by the U. S. government
and loca ed in South Boston, Mas
sachuSettS.
The estimated cost of such a
dry dock, including the pumps
and elec ric winches, caissonS,
etc, complete is two million dol
lars.
The work would employ 500
men for two years and the dred-
ing would employ 100 men for
six months at an estimated cost
of an additional one-half million
dollars.
With dry dock of this type
and an 18-inch wafer pipe from
the city to the mainland, Key
West would become a frist-class
Naval Station and the city would
become at once self-sustaining.
Every one who has gone into
the situation believes that an up
to-date Naval Station at Key
West is a military necessity.

The big economic problem be-

tate the exchange of goods and

income and, inevitably, this pro-
duceS complications that lead to
depressions. From the farms of
the nation come the buying pow

it is essential to the con inued
prosperity of the people of this
country that farmers manage to
secure a reasonable profit from
their operations. The Tariff,

At the same time, it was point

difference between The people of
the United States and Canada,

of'the other nations. Most of them
descended from Latin races, with
he culture of old Spain as wen
as it's religion. This is quite diff
ferent from the Anglo-Saxon ira

of all speakers, a demonstration
of the ability of nations to live

With every nation in the West
ern Hemisphere represented and
apparently intent upon proclaim
ing to the world the solidarity of
the Western Hemisphere, the
delegates face a difficult task in
the framing of declarations to
suit the individual peculiarities
of the nations involved. There
was evident desire not to flaunt
a spirit of isolation from world
affairs and, on the part of several
important South American ma
lions, an anxiety not to offend
European nations, heretofore
closely attached by commercial
interests and blood ties.

Acting according to an act of
Congress, passed last February,
President Roosevelt has approved
an increase of $1,000,000,000 in
the capacity of the Federal Hous-
ing Administration to insure resi-
DER ial mortgages. The Presi-
dents action was taken upon re-
ceipt of a letter from Stewart
Macdonald, Federal Housing Adj
ministrator, who pointed out that
on December l the FILA had in
Sured NOR cages amounting to
81 ,585, 100000, leaving it an unob-
ligated balance of $415,000,000.
The appraisals already were in
progress on applications amount
ing to 100000 and new appli-
cations were coming in at the rate
of $100,000,000 a month. Conse-
quently, it was necessary, if the
FILA was to continue us pro-
gram, to have an authorization
for more than the $2,000,000 900
set by the Act of Congress.

The capital of Peru, now en-

extravagantly decorated with
flags as the delegates arrived. 1t
is worth noting that every nation
in the Western Hemisphere owes
its origin 20 a revolution and
most of the South American coun-
tries venerate common patriots.
The general idea was that a de-
fensive alliance in the form of a
treaty was unnecessary. Much
stress was placed upon the i'm

months of this year show that
American goods to the amount of
$520,000,000 were sold to Latin
America and thai. the United

that we are selling about one
