REBUILDING FINLAND

Ambitious plans for the rebuilding of
Finland's damaged cities and public in
stitutions, including housing for 100000
persons evacuated from their former
homes, were discussed in New York re-
Gently by Alvar Aalto, leading Finnish
architect, and group of his countrymen
and American friends.
Mr.. Aalto has been in this country in
connection with bringing the Finnish ex-
hibit at the New York worlds fair up to
date, and he will have an important part
in the proposed rehabilitation program
upon his return to his native land.
An organization for raising funds
with which to rebuild the churches of Fin
land has already been formed by Prot
estant ministers of Scandinavian-American
churches. Members of leading American
women's clubs have also pledged them
selves to cooperate in the rebuilding pro-
gram.
The task of reconstruction is seen as
an opportunity to make Finland serve as
laboratory for civic planning which would
interest designers, architects and en-
gineers Of all countries. Plans include the
building of four entirely new model towns,
and besides the rehabilitation of those now
existing
1t is hoped that the Finnish people
may be permitted to live in peace in order
that they may carry out the worthy plans
they have in mind.

MILITARY ROAD TO KEY WEST?

Some Ct the candidates for state Of
fices in their recent speeches are advocat-
ing fouy-lane highway along the Florida
East Coast from the Georgia line to Miami
At least one of the candidates proposes to
enlist federal support Of the project on
the ground that Federal Route No. /
should become Z military road. Such a
road would be 2 necessity in time of ma
tional emergency, so that troops and sup
plies might be quickly transported to South
Florida.
The Citizen has no quarrel with the
advocates of the four-lane highway pro-
p0Gal from north Florida to Miami. Ger
tainly the main highway entrance to Flor
ida from the north should be improved to
provide easy, swift and safe access to
South Florida's national playground,
which embraces Key West.
From what has been said by the can
didates up to this time, The Citizen Won
ders whether some of them realize that
Key West is the end Of Federal Route No
1. If four-lane highway to Miami seems
in order, at least the ITO remaining miles
Of Route No. l should be made modern
tWo-lane highway. Overseas Highway is
just about wide enough for two-lane
travel, but much of it is over a worn out
county road and unsafe wooden bridges.
Il there is any military necessity for a
highway down the state of Florida it is
iCht here. Where else in Florida is there
at present an army coast defense post more
extensive or more important than the Key
West base? Where else in Florida is
there at present more extensive or more
important naval base than the Key West
base? What point in the national defense
system needs more extensive or more
important transportation route then Key
West?
The State Road Department has in
elected a callous disregard for the high
way needs of Monroe County. While Of
ficials of the Road Department a few
weeks age told our public officials there
was no money at present in sight for i'm
proving Overseas Highway, the S. R. D.
has announced it is appropriating a huge
sum Of money to build a third bridge
across Tampa Bay.
In the face of this obvious slap at
Monroe county, it seems to The Citizen our
public officials might be serving this COM
munity if they went on record as favoring
federal development of military road to
Key West.

GALL SLAVE, OR ALL FREE"

Colonel Frank Knox, publisher of the
Chicago Daily News, and Republican can
didate for Vice-President in 1885, says
that the struggle now in progress in Eu-
rope ''is clash between two irreconcilable
systems of living and governing
In this the outspoken editor disagrees
with other eminent Republicans who see
nothing but clash between the nations
for hegemony in Europe.
We are inclined to agree with him
when he concludes that the two contend
ing systems cannot exist in the same world
peaceably' and that THE world will either
become all slave, or all free.
