INLAND WATERWAY

Our brief will justify the ex-
penditure of the money for this improve
ment not only in war time as an emer-
gency National Defense measure, but also
an economical justification in peace time.
The chairman of the Florida Inland
Navigation District was speaking about the
eXten ION OF the Inland Waterway from
Bahia Honda to Key West in the above
statement which was part of telegram
sent to the local Chamber of Commerce
calling for action IN support of the project.
It would appear that this important
project is we'll on It's way towards being an
accomplished fact and for that the citizens
OF Key West can and will be, most thank
al. Fer many years we here have striven
in continued effort to obtain the deepening
Of the inside route for small ships coming
down from the north, but, as the records
how. with no success.
Wise was the decision to send a rep
'escmajiye OF this city and county to the
ii, hmond meet-and the choice of repre-
sentative was excellent The Citizen can
see leaSors to believe that the cOmbina-
ton Of brief and personal plea before the
scmbled association members will be
productive Of action.
Il is noteworthy to consider. and it
was stressed in the above advice. that the

COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE RELIGIOUS

In widely separated sections of the
country, DR.. Charles Whitney Gilkey, as
sociate Dean of the Divinity School, Uni
verSity Of Chicago, reports evidence of a
significant increase of interest in religion
am0rg college students.
This is interesting, confirming the
opinion of those who have declined to ac-
cept the nonsensical charges made against
youth By many so-called leaders.
DR.. Gilkey believes that the increase
OF interest in religion is caused by the pres
ent acute seESe of insecurity, the search
for realities and a sense of something
deeply wrong with our social order and ac-
cepted ways of life.
1t is easy to believe that a ferment
Any individual. boy or girl. who has de-
veI0ped into manhood or wOmanhOOd
within the past fifteen years must be
deeply impressed with the problems which
face society Certainly, they must be con-
WINGED that there is something deeply
wrong and anxiOusly alert to discover the
cure for existing ills.
1t IS refreshing to believe that the
Young people of this country are ap-
preaching the problems of life without the
handicap of accepting everything that
exists as the best that is possible.
When people are thoroughly satisfied,
there can be no progress. 1t is only when
the minds of men comprehend facts and
que,ticn conclusions, that civilization
moves forward another step.

UNRELIABLE WAR NEWS

Perhaps one IF the most eXaSperatlng
things the German people have to endure
J., he Inability to obtain any reliable news
concerning the progress of the war. Other
countries have censorship, but it is prob
ably more rigid in Germany than else
where
Heavy penalties are imposed upon
Germans found listening to foreign broad
casts, and anyone repeating to others what
is heard from foreign stations may suffer
death Yet Sc eager are many people for
outside news, it is said that they often take
these risks TO obtain it.
\ recent article in Grit states that
Germans who take such risks usually have
two radios, lone blaring the output of a
German station and the other, tuned III
softly. carrying the foreign broadcast.
Sometimes listener will repeat what he
has heard to friend, but relate it as some
thing that came to him in a dream. But
this IS all very dangerous if it comes to the
ears of the secret police, who spy on peo-
ple everywhere.
Reports from London are more re-
liable, but they, too. are censored and
often omit important news which might
give information useful to the enemy.

The House committee investigat-

In un-Americsn activities.
The accusation was made In q

tee released for publication q list Of
the members Of the league several

Of having Communistic connections.
The leagues telegram to the Presi-
dent follows:
Because the Dies Committee has
shown itself incapable OF investigat-
ing un-American activities, has mis-
led the public as to what such ac-
tivities really are, has besmirched
the reputation Of reputable organiza-
tions and individuals on the basis of
hearsay evidence given often by wit
nesses with criminal records, has
afforded these organizations and in
dividuals no opportunity to defend
themselves, has been threat to our
civil and democratic rights and has
been guilty Of un-American activi-
ties which are a disgrace to the
Congress which 1T represents, the
Washington branch Of the American
League for Peace and Democracy
urges that you use your great in
