Less than one MOI n now rema rs for
alier residents in Key West to re yister
with Federal officials here. Those having
ch urge of lie fingerprinting and register
ing reported this week that, in the main,
the drive was progressing satisfactorily.
With the thought, however, that there
may yet be few in this city who have
ignored the provisions of the National
Alien-registration Act, headquarters has
suggested that review of the facts would
be appropriate at this time.
Key Vests percentage of aliens will
run approximately two per cent higher
than that of the natiOn-at-large, according
to latest figures. So, with that fact in
mind, it may be that there are some aliens
in the city who are not fully acquainted
with all of those things required of them.
Here is quick review of the facts:
All aliens who were in this country as
Of August 81 must be registered and
fingerprinted by December 26, or face
81 900 fine six months in jail, or both.
Alien children under IA must be
registered by their parents or guardians,
but are not fingerprinted.
Aliens having registered have still not
fully complied with the law unless they
notify the immigration and Naturalization
Service of the Department of Justice in
Washington of any change in permanent
residence address within five days of such
change, on form available at any post
office
Postmasters should be notified i'm
mediately in the case Of any bedridden
alien so that he may take the necessary
steps to register him at his place of con-
finement.
Confusion between registration for
Selective Service and Alien Registration
should be cleared up. All male aliens 81
to SO were required to register for the
draft, but this did not in any way relieve
them of the necessity of registering as an
alien.
Service by an alien in the World War
did not of itself win him citizenship, and
unless citizenship was achieved he must
still register as an alien.
There are no fees of any kind con-
nected with registration. Aliens should
beware of racketeers who promise to Elk
things
TIE Pust Office Department and the
Department of Justice are ready to answer
any individual questions about registra-
tio1. The alien may feel free to call on
us for any assistance we can render.

In view of present world con-

connection with the future. it is
considered important to effect
friendly relations with the ma

pecially those between the
United States and the Panama
Canal.

be 35,000-ton displacement, have
nine 16-inch guns, three to tur-
ret, end be able to fire a broad
side of $4,000 pounds for twenty
miles.
They will have the latest word
in anti-aircraft equipment, pro-
lection from enemy torpedoes,
fire control and manoevure abil-
ity. Just the same, they will not
compare with the 45,000-ton bat
tleship which will follow them
into the water.
We have not been able to check
up on assertions that when the
North Carolina and Washington
Join the Fleet, they will make
the United States the greatest
battle line in the world. When
the European War started, the
European and American navies
were on an approximate parity.
The British started battleShip
construction before the United
States. but they still maiRtain
silence about five new $4,000
ton battIeships, laid down in
1887 and launched last year. It
has been reported that the new
ships have joined the British
Fleet.
If this is true, the British have
nineteen batleships in service to
our fifteen. and it win be seen
that the acquisition of two new
ships will not give up superior
ity over Great Britain.
There has been considerable
discussion as to the vulnerability
of the battIeShip to the airplane
attack, but Rear-Admiral Clark
H. Woodward, Commandment of
the Third Naval District, empha-
tically asserts that mo battieship
old or new, of any navy in ac-
tive service has ever been des-
troped by aerial bombs"
Regardless of the debate, it is a
fact that battieships are being
rushed to completion in Germany,
Italy and Japan, in, addition. to
the United States and Great Brit
ain. Evidently. the men who lead
the navies of the world maintain
their faith in the battleShip as
the supreme arbiter of the seas.
The announcement that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has designated

It is safe to say that Congress

The designation of Mr. Wallace
is taken to indicate that the diff

been smoothed out and that

connection with defense.

It will be interesting to await
the full disclosure of the Com
mittee which has been at work
for some years. Naturally in
every country there is some sub
versive activity. An investiga-
ton like that being conducted by
the House committee is certain
to put a damper upon the meth
DDS of foreign agents.

Every incident. such as the fire
on the battleship under construc-
ton, however, minor in itself, is
taken as confirmation Of the ma

saboteurs. It is wen to have an
official group on the job to inves-
tigate these matters and to make
public as much of the truth as ap-
pears to be in the public interest.
