The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1940-08-01

The new Japanese government will
probably not lose much time in making
known its intentions in the Far East
Dominated by the army and navy ex-
panSionists, the regime of Prince Konoye
will move to GUST western influence from
the area in which Japan asserts domi-
nance The western nations will get out,
or face trouble.
France, PROSTATE in Europe, has al
ready given up the fight What will hap
pen to her territorial possessions depends
upon decisions to be made in Berlin and
Tokyo.
Great Britain, facing the battle of her
life in Europe, cannot take the risk of a
conflict and must come to terms with
Japan.
The United States, with her fleet in
the Pacific ocean, is another proposition,
so fer as the Japanese are concerned, but
the Tokyo group is convinced that no eff
fective opposition will come from the
United States. At the worst, the Japanese
expect nothing but diplomatic notes if
they can advance gingerly toward their
goal.

TOO LATE TO
CLASSIFY

As brilliant as the glistening
sun on the turquoise waters Of
the Caribbean was the masferful
work of Secretary CordeIl Hull in
bringing together the 81 Latin
American countries and gaining
their united approval of the plan
for protection Of the western
hemisphere.
Orphans Of the storm. the pos
sessions of European powers in
the western world lay as fire
brands which al any moment
might plunge this hemisphere in
to the maelstrOm of war.
Powerful and dominant. justi-
fled by the Monroe Doctrine. the
United States might well have
ignored her sister nations and,
acting alone, stepped in TO estab-
lish a protectorate. There were
some who advocated such action.
Such a move would have been
in keeping with the long estab-
liShed policies of those nations
that today find themselves in a
death struggle, and only would
have served to generate distrust
+, jealousy and misunderstanding
between this country and Latin
America.
By inviting her sister republics
to assume their share of the re-
spOnsibility and join with her ON
a basis of full equality in work
ing out a plan for the solution OF
the problem, the United States
gives concrete evidence Of her
good faith, establishes the fact
that she has no territorial ambi-
tions, and paveS the way for q
closer understanding and a unity
of thought and action as FAR as
the western world Is concerned.
With Europe. Asia and Africa
hopeleSSly enmeshed in total
war. civilization tOtters on the
brink and the hope of mankind
today rests on the ability Of the
western hemisphere TO maintain
peace and stand by TO help create
a new and better world upon the
ruins and ashes of the present
conflict

brotherhood of nations each re-
specting the rights Of the other

PROBLEMS TO THE SURFACED

In two instances during the past week
The Citizen has presented controversial
subjects in its news columns One article,
sponsored by local navy officials, treated
on subjects of sanitation. The other, writ
ten by Citizen cOlumnist, started the ball
rolling on subjects of rents and cost of liv-
ing in the city.
By giving space to the articles, con-
trary to belief of some in Key West, The
Citizen followed good newspaper pro-
cedure in serving to bring smoldering fires
of criticism on controversial subjects to the
light of public gaze In that manner are
many problems solved when intelligent
thought is brought to bear on them and
solutions found.
The Citizen has ever stood for what
ever is best for Key West. Our institution
would sadly lack in its duty not to get be-
hind any movement designed to better con-
ditions here, and, by and large, this has
been exactly the motive that guides its edi-
tOrial policy Sometimes, however, the out
set of such movements require some start
ling publicity until the propositions smooth
out into reasonable debate and lettering
action.
In the case of sanitation, DIR. William
K. Warren has answered the navy in
sistence that sanitation measures be en-
forced here with the assurance that he, as
City Health Officer, stood squarely behind
the navy in its desires He is sponsoring
legislation that will correct certain lack
ings on the city books in regard to santa
tiOr enforcement, for presentation to the
council at an early date.
In regard to the question of high cost
CT living for navy families; The Citizen
finds a healthy reaction is even now i'm
process of forming to provide adequate an
swers to some of the subjects brought up.
Other alleged wrongs are being seriously
studied by many residents with a view to-
wards correction.
In both matters, then, it appears that
The Citizen has again proven its worth by
champiOning exposure of problems that
have smOldered under the surface for some
time There could be no constructive ac-
tiCn taken while this condition existed
the best way to do is stir the pot of public
welfare and bring the problems up on top
Of the kettle for skimming into ladies OF
either waste material to be thrown aside or
worthwhile information of benefit to the
community.
Thus The Citizen serves-and will
continue to serve-the best interests of
Key West

AN INEVITABLE CONFLICT

The so-called conflict between bust
ness and government is as inevitable as
the clash between private profit and pub
lie welfare.
Business has its being in profits and
nothing else. Such service as business rem
ders society is performed because better
service returns greater profits.
Government, be it State or Federal,
is the agent of people, created to protect
the general welfare and given powers to
restrict selfishness in the general interest.
Naturally, whenever government ex-
ercises its unlimited power to restrain the
greedy it interferes with profits. Nothing
excites a selfish business man more than
the idea that he is not entitled TO all the
profits that he can acquire.

THE LOWDOWN
FROM HICKORY GROVE

/ just been reading some about
, Uncle Samuel and his ventures
into business, and boy, he takes
the cake.
The latest l been reading is
about a deal down near Boston
where the Govt. wanted to start
another housing project. So they
bought out the Bohemia Club
there, for Is thousand dollars.
But in order to get going on the
project, they had TO get rid of the
clubhouse, so they sold the build
ing back TO the BOhenians for
los dollars. The club moved it
across the street to a vacant lot.
Brother, that is financing, Ia
Samuel.
But my neighbOr says, 10, don't
get too excited-calm yourself
The Govt. gOurd research makes
your clubhouse financing look
sick, he says. The paper says the
Govt looked into the idea of
using gourds for bird houses.
And they finally deducted and
decided that the size of the gourd
should be in proportion to the
size of the bird, for il was found
useless to invite a large bird to
nest in a small gourd.
1 musta looked kinda dubious
or something, because Henry
says, alright read it yourself

paper.

Spain is asking for the return of
Gibraltar. 1t will not be returned by Eng
land for the asking but will have to be
fought for. England may have to give up
the old rock but not without fight From
1879 to 1888, for three years and seven
months the Spaniards besieged Gibraltar
without success. Now, with England be-
sieged on land and sea, and harassed on ali
sides, she may not be able to hold what
has always been considered an impreg-

Our first love, as it were, was
Tampa, ever since that day way
back when" we first laid eyes on
her. She's grown to be quite a
big girl now, and in spite of
other loves, like our love for Key
West, she still has a big place in
cur heart There was one fault
she had, however. that had us
separate from her and poor girl,
it wasn't entirely her fault. She
was just too cold
True to our acquired phil
OSOphy of never do anything to-
day that you can put off until
tomorrow we dare not set a
date for our departure west
ward. No doubt we will plan to
go on certain day and then re-
member that we forgot to have
the oil changed or something.
Anything to postpone leaving
Key West although we know we
have to go.
How many times we have left
Florida with fear and trembling
So afraid something might hap
pen that would keep us away
and what a thrill to heave a sigh
of relief when we crossed the
state line back into Florida
again. After ten years of living
steadily in Florida we still have
goose pimples chasing up and
down our spine when We realize
we are here.
/ Note to landlords who may
have thought Penetrator didn't
know the other side of the story
when the article about the navy
and high rents was written:
/ Penny has been a free holder
in Florida since 1888 and knows
all too well the heartaches of
managing rental property. We
know the tenants with children
who mar the walls, the police
dog that digs holes in the lawn,
! the fly-by-night who moves into
a furnished apartment and leaves
it unfinished when he goes
usually in the middle of the
night; the behind-in-his-rent
Tenant, the noSey woman who
wants to run everything for you,
! including collecting rent from
the adjoining tenants, and SO on
ad infinitum.
Not to mention the expenses on
the place that a tenant never
sees, water pump repairs new
floor boards in the bedroom
where the baby crib stood,
/ broken dishes replaced, re-paint-
ing everything after a dirty
tenant who stays one month IN
spite of a years lease. Usually
all the tenant sees for expense IS
taxes. Our tenants will not per-
ceive perhaps that it is partly
: because of them that we are
forced to make a trip to Tampa
from Key West. To what should
we charge the expenses of the
trip? Oh, just take it out OF the
rent and forget it
We can say this though, We
wish We could rent to a navy
family, at least you have the pro-
lection that you viii get your
rent money because if a navy
man doesn't pay and it is re-
ported to his superior officers,
they have the means of welding
a big stick. Navy men want
their records kept clear.
