RUSSIA OFFERS FINLAND A MAP

A hint of further trouble between
Russia and Finland is contained in a dis
patch from Stockholm, Sweden, which says
that the Russians produced a map of the
Soviet-Finnish frontier, allegedly based
upon the recently concluded treaty, but
that the frontier had been changed at sew
eral points, all to Russia's advantage.
This was a surprise to the Firms. 1t
was, shall we say, a second surprise.
Earlier Russian sources had revealed that
defensive pact between Norway, Sweden
and Finland would be construed as move
against Russia.
If there is anybody who thinks that
the Soviet has no further aggressive in
tentions against the Finnish republic they
ought to stand up at once and be ex-
amined

BIGELoW is GETTING OLD

Poultney Bigelow, 85-year-old his
torian and intimate friend of the former
German Kaiser, has just returned from a
trip to Europe.
Mr. Bigelow is very strongly con-
vinced that Germany will win the war. He
demands, also, that the United States take
action against England for mail seizures.
The aged historian would show every
body they cannot stop our ships and seize
American mail" He would shoot them
ION the spot"
While his view on what the nation
should do to the British, for stopping our
mail is clear, the author has nothing to say
about what we should do to defend the
right of our ships to go anywhere without
being subject to attacks without warm
ing.

'sALI WAS NOT LOST

Editor The Citizen:
The officers and members of
the Key West Yacht Club wish
to thank you for your contribu-
ton to the Havana-Key West
Race fund, which was respon-
sible for bringing much valuable
publicity to our city.
AS you know, the weatherman
won this race by blowing up
such a sea that the yachts were
unable to get out of Havana har-
Dor. All was not lost by any
means, however. Through the
race publicity. Key West has
been advertised throughout the
nation as a yachting center. The
Associated Press and Inter
national News Service sent out
frequent reports on the event to
all newspapers in the country,
and articles appeared in the vari-
Gus yachting nagazines. The
prominent yachtsmen who had
entered the race are enthusiastic
about the yachting possibilities
of Key West and many are urg-
ing their friends to come here for
the winter.
Therefore, we feel that Key
West has received in advertising
and goodwill many times the
amount spent in promoting this
yacht race. Plans are already
started for big race next year
that should help make Key West
a permanent winter rendezvous
for yachtsmen, who will pour
money into the tills of our mer-
chants.
Again we thank you for your
generous support of our efforts
to put Key West on the yacht
ing chart.
Cordially yours,
ALBERT E. PIERCE, JR.,
H. P. CONNABLE,
Race Committee.
Key West, Florida,

dissatisfied with our city and
moving to Miami where they

They are satisfied in Miami
they rningle in Miami political
affairs, then, just as soon as our
elections come around, you see
them flock to our city to use
their influence against some of
our candidates that do not favor
any other county than Monroe
county.

PROJECTS WORTH SPONSORING

concerned over an Impending SnOfL~
age of work for WPA eligibles in Key
West, city, county and civic officials have
been comforting with WPA officials dur
ing the last several days.
It was brought out at meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce last Thursday
night that there are three projects now
being routed through the WPA machinery
They are mosquito control, which would
give the greatest amount of work for the
sponsorship fund, the creation of boat
and yacht basin at Garrison Blight and the
development of public beach along the
boulevard above Bertha street
Each cne of these projects is worthy
of the last dollar of sponsorship available
in the city and county treasures. Mos
quito control is one of the primary neces-
sites. The pests can drive tourists out of
Key West faster than any other annoy
anee. They have aroused complaint among
the naval men and their families, have
made life unpleasant for visitors and resi-
dents alike. The mosquito birth rate can
be controlled. The Citizen hopes this
project is pushed Immediately.
Garrison Blight development is very
important. Widening the entrance to the
blight so that boats with drafts of eight
feet may reach the safe anchorage avail
able there will afford our fishermen the
benefits of this fine-landlocked body of
water and give visiting yachts rare
haven. When the blight job is finished it
should add thousands of dollars to the in
come of Key West.
An incidental job in connection with
the improvement of the blight is the dis
posal of the dug material. Under plans
recently worked out this is to be deposited
on city-owned park land adjacent to the
incinerator where it is planned to build
baseball field and athletic stadium. The
importance of such field to the entire
community, including the servicemen, can
not be minimized. Baseball is mixed in
the Key West blood. Such outdoor activi-
ties must be fostered for the health and
well-being of our citizens.
No one questions the need of pub
lie beach. The day is not far distant when
South Beach and Rest Beach will be fenced
in and restricted to the use of visitors
registered at hotels and apartments sched-
uled to go up there. Key West must pro-
vide public beach for the free use of our
visitors and our citizens. A resort city
without such beach is like a house with
out a roof.
The Citizen commends these projects
and hopes our public officials will go in
to action to produce the cash to sponsor
them Our idle workmen need work; our
visitors and citizens need the recreational
and practical resort facilities in mosquito
free surroundings

Is it possible that these gen.
tlemen are sent here by the Mi
ami political machine to try and
induce our voters to vote for the
man Miami favors? If So-there
must be a ''nigger in the wood
pile. Otherwise, there is no
earthly reason why they should
spend their money and donate
their time to come here and in
duce our voters to vote their
way.
It's high time that Key Westers
pay less, or no, attention to poll
tical henchmen sent here by Mi
ami political dictators.
We do not mingle or interfere
in the political affairs of any
other city-therefore we cannot
countenance interference of out
siders that have reneged on their
chance to vote in our elections.
Key Westers should pay no at
tention to these gentlemen. Let
them stay in Miami Let them
do as they please in the Magic
City of Miami But-leave us
alone to run our affairs as we
see fit.

You never knew of happiness

In those dark and lonely hours,
For they were not at Fort Jeffer-
