Our only regret about our stay
in Key West is that we are leav-
ing, said Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Cline of New York, who are leav-
ing after a stay in Key West since
February 5. The Clines found
everything as they had expected,
and were delighted from the mo-
ment they arrived, They spent
great deal of time on the golf
links, which they declare to be
wonderful. In the opinion of Mr..
Cline, who is a retired business
man of New York, there should
be nothing left undone which
would aid in the completion of
the highway. He said that he
had heard that $12,000,000 would
be necessary to build the bridges,
which are contemplated, and con-
Guided by saying that if $50, 000,-
900 were necessary that amount
should be expended. With the
ferries eliminated and a straight
drive to Key West made possible,
80 percent of the tourists coming
TO Florida each season can be
counted on to make the Key West
trip. And that would mean more
to the city than even fresh wa
ter.
The planes seen over Key West
at intervals today are the navy's
two aerial Photographic planes
now operating in connection with
the Hannibal, survey detail in
Cuban waters. They came in for
slight repairs and to develop
films, and will be in port for a
few days.
At a meeting of the directors

Chamberlain Faces Issue
CCleveland Plain Dealerl

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 The frankness of Prime Minister Chamberlain s address Britain's war aims is in sharp contrast to the which cluttered up the speeches of Allied statesmen from 1914 to 1918 High-sounding phrases intended only for public consumption and in no way clarifying what their authors intended to do were the rule then. Today Chamberlain tells dis tinctly what Britain has in mind after the peace.
 There much talk in the World War about Allied military might being aimed at the rulers of Germany and not the German people. No such dis tinction is made today and it is just well
 If the German people can be convinced" says Chamberlain, that the aggressive bullying men tality which seeks continually to dominate other peoples by force is bad for themselves as for the rest of the world, they will abandon it."
 This is a recognition of the fact that there would be Hitler regime in Germany if the Ger people did not tolerate it. And it is not only the regime, but the spirit which made it possible that must go This is not to say that in the years which followed the last the Allies themselves were not to blame for failure to support the Weimar republic.
 The German people should, and will, have equal ity among the nations of Europe. Their protest against the restrictions of Versailles justified in many instances. But that justification does not extend to their imposition of oppressive against Austrians Czechs and Poles.
 No dispute the achievements of the German people in art literature and science achievements which came to abrupt end with the institution ot the antl-cultural Nazl regime But in politics the Germans century behind the rest of the western world. This may be because of the late start in nationhood They have been ikened to France and Britain after the fall Of Napoleon But in the process of getting their poli- tca education they cannot be permitted to upset the equilibrium of Europe. Apologists say the Germans are political adolescents. That is all the reason for the rest of the world to be careful an adolescent with loaded gun is not always amenable to reason.
 Chamberlans recognition of this situation should lay the basis for sounder peace after the conflict. It is encouraging that Allied statesmen thinking of the future with minds unfettered by hate, but at the time undazzled by generalities that never be realized

German Naval Strategy
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 It was familiar fact long before the war broke out that Germany unable to challenge the British battle fleet had built navy of highly specialized missions. The Reich first developed considerable submarine fleet, which to raid merchant ship ping supplying Britain with food and materials. This is in fact ounter-bockade, identical in pur pose but different in method from the British block ade of Germany.
 In addition, Germany built three so-called pocket batteships and a number of heavy cruisers, all de- signed for the dual role of policing the Baltic and raidng enemy commerce the open seas. At a later stage Germany began building large battle ships, two of which completed.
 After two and a half months the is clusively naval war and the initiative is Ger manys Once the British Navy cleared the of German shipping and established it's tight blockade of the German coasts-a matter of a week SO it assumed a wholly defensive role Except to search out and destroy enemy U-boats and raiders, the British Navy has no offensive mission thus far.
 The Germans the other hand, have carried the to the British coasts and to the enemy naval squadronS. In the main they have focused their efforts the blockade of England by sinking merchantmen engaged in trade with England. But Uboats and bombing planes have destroyed at least eight British naval vessels, with heavy toll of life.
 This represents only a tiny fraction of British sea power and accomplishes nothing in itself. But it may be significant as indication that Ger manys highly specialized weapons exact heavy toll in the of time, without risking ships of corresponding value

HOW MANY PLANES?

Tn the furry of actual and apocryphal orders from abroad for aircraft following the lifting of the embargo, conflicting statements from many sources have been published to the capacity and production rate of our airplane and engine manufacturing plants. Exhaustive surveys of pro- ductve capacity, undertaken long before the out break of in Europe by the Aeronautca Chamber of Commerce of America, which represents practi- cay the entire industry in this country, have been brought up to date While these surveys do not overlook the intangibes, such as continuity of management in the industry, the happy position which it shares with only few other manufacturing industries of carrying no inventory of finished pro- duct, and it's typieally American mass production thinking, they are based more definite and more dependable yardsticks.
 The number of square feet occupied by each employee in machine industries gives the maximum productive of plant The sales dollars per employee have been estimated for this industry as s5750 per annum. When the gross sales are divided by the average price of plane engine, unit output can be very accurately estimated For the present month the sales of plane and engine plants, not including propeners and accessories will be about 5I8,000,000, or at rate of than $200OOOo0O a year. By the spring of l94O according to present orders and delivery schedules the industry should 1e operating basis of $50O0OOO0 a month.
 The whole indutry-pane, engine, propeller and accessory plants-has than $5OOOOOOOO at pres ent on the books in unified orders Of this amount some S200000000 represents Army and Navy ap-
 populations for the fiscal year 1940 and from these sources more orders to come. Domestic airline orders estimated at about $250000OO It has been found that the sales dollar figure per employee is somewhat less in airplane than in arpane engiEe manufacture, and for this reason, plus recent
 .d continuing expansion of engine plants and their present retooling no delay in completed aircraft que to sow-up of engine deliveries is anticipated by students of the industry, who discern no jus tfication for Government intervention or subsidy to engine propeller plants.
 As matter of fact the Aeronautical Chamber estimates the present plane output capacity of the American industry, three-shift basis. at 150oO 8 year and that Of engines at l6O0O A year from now. it holds the capacity, like basis will be 23.0o0 planes and 36y000 engines, of which 25OO0 will be 1000 horsepower or more These estimates do not envsage large increases in plant floor space beyond those presently under way. They do how ever, take into account the freezing of production into limited number of types and models at each plant-although all 13 military types now being produced for our services will be contnued-and systematic allocation and subcontracting.
 Any fears that rush of foreign business might be allowed to interfere with military pro

 This is day fortunate for women, but adverse to many activities of men, especially to aviators. It is not promising for the signing of agree ments. New Year partnerships should not be concluded under this lforbidding aspect It is an auspic- ious date for social affairs and we'd dings. Love affairs, especially among i college students, will flourish The atres and places of amusement should profit It is a good day for Christmas shopping.
 Heart and Home Visitors will be fortunate in their travels. Warm welcomes await homecomings. As old customs pass, stress will be plac- ed upon American festivities and home entertainments. Reckless gay cities will veil grave anxieties. Ro- nance will dominate the young who belong to the great drama of the future. The influence of a new age will be felt mid holiday joys. Business Affairs: Movements to assure financial security will grow in number. The idea of obtaining something for nothing will be fos- tered as a result of unemployment and the unwise propaganda that disturbed conditions have produced. National Issues: Maladministration of an office that his distributed large amounts of public money will cause a scandal Waste of federal funds will be criticised as preparedness plans absorb vast expenditures. Li- bel suits may be numerous as the press backs public demand for re- forms
 International Affairs: India will make insistent demands troublesome to the British government. Propa- ganda distributed in the United States by foreig nagents will not be revealed until grave harm has been accomplished. Sabotage affecting oil storage or airplane plants may be disclosed.

New Superintendent
At 6. u. Hospital
Assumes Duties
Sister Mary Jone Takes
Over; Sister Rodriguez
Goes to Lancaster, Pa.

BY an exchange of superintend-
ents with St. Joseph's Hospital in
Lancaster, Pa, Georgetown Uni
versity Hospital has lost the services
of Sister Rodriguez. member of
its staff for nearly 40 years, but has
welcomed the return of another
friend of long standing,
The new superintendent at
Georgetown, Sister Mary Jane, o.
S. F. has taken over her new duties
here. it was announced today, and
has been the recipient of congratu-
lations from many friends in Wash
ington who knew her during former
years when she was member of
the hospital staff. Sister Rodriguez,
whose six-year term as superintend-
ent had expired only few days
ago, also has assumed her new
duties in charge of St. Joseph's Hos
pital.
Sister Rodriguez, member of the
Order of St. Francis, which con-
ducts both hospitals, had spent most
of her hospital career at George
town. She joined the staff soon
after the hospital was established in
1898. At that time there was only
one small building and the sisters
performed all the nursing duties as
we'll as other work about the hos
pital.
During her nearly 40 years of
service, Sister Rodriguez held many
different positions She was a men,
ber of the first graduating class of
the school of nursing. In later years
she served as superintendent of the
nursing school and topped very
valuable service as superintendent
of the hospital The Ladies Board
of the hospital joined with members
of the staff and with the Very Rev.
Arthur A. OLeary, S. j., president
of the university, in wishing her
success in her new position.
Sister Jane is almost as we'll
known here. She first Joined the
Georgetown staff in 1908, when the
hospital was still a small unit, and
continued with it until 1914. She
was reassigned in 1920, remaining
until 1880, during which time she
served in various supervisory posi-
tions over the nurses. She lett

and later to st. Joseph's in Lanoas-
ter, where she had been superin-
tendent the past six years.
