REPAIR THE STREETSt

The story of construction of an ancient
road in olden Greece comes to mind when
the condition of streets in Key West is
considered.
The aneients who built this famous
road-traffic still travels over it after g.
600 years-had prOdigious foresight.
They foresaw that, as civilization pro-
crossed There would come the need to run
water lines perhaps from town to town, or
other needs would arise to necessitate dig
ging up of the road if something. wasn't
done to take care of such exigencies.
What they did was to plan a series of
small tunnels under the surface of their
finely-constructed roadbed. AS a result,
the centuries brought no breaking up of
the surface and, consequently, the road
bed was always smooth and serviceable to
traffic.
Modern-day road planners didn't pro-
vide for such emergencies in their roads.
Cities nationwide have seen their streets
torn up time and again for great variety
of purposes. This, as any engineer will
verify, has generally weakened all roads
with crosspatch repairs made in no con-
tinuity of pattern.
In Key West in the past four years,
there has been an elongated program call
ing for city-wide tearing up of streets.
Sewers, water lines, iatterals, gas lines and
many other projects have brought.the city's
streets to deploraDle state of condi-
ton.
Autoists are wondering now just
when all this repair work is going to cease
and city fathers will be able to consider
plan to bring the streets up to snuff again.
No one likes to drive in Key West these
days It's bumpity-bump experience of
no mean regard for nerves and ability of
auto aXles and tires to take it.
The Citizen believes that the time is
fast approaching when comprehensive
plan for repair Of the city's streets may be
taken under advisement. Preparing now
to provide funds and labor for the work
which must be undertaken before another
winter season starts will prove good COM
mon sense.
Let's not go into the tourist season
with the streets in their present shape. It's
bad enough now for residents of the city.
It'll be worse when twice as many cars are
with US next winter

WHERE DOES DEFENSE BEGIN?

Japanese leaders seem to be con-
WINGED that Germany will win the war in
Europe. Consequently, as practical states
men, looking out for the big opportunity,
they announce a policy of close coopera-
ton with the Axis powers
The United States continues to cling to
the hope that the British can successfully
withstand Hitler'S assault. In this case,
the safety of this nation will be assured.
If, to our surprise, Hitler overwhelms
Great Britain we will face new world
situation and it might be well to under
stand just what it may be-.
Germany, Italy and Japan viii be
working together to extend their recent
territorial gains. They will be far stronger
than the United States in actual fighting
units, and may be stronger in productive
capacity This would leave Uncle Sam in
bad fix, with no time to prepare the two
ocean Navy, the $4,000 planes and the l.
200, 900 Army that we contemplate.
The Citizen thoroughly subscribes to
the doctrine that the United States should
stay out of other nations wars. That is
nothing but good sense. Just the same, we
question the wisdom of standing aloo< and
permitting any combination of nations to
reach position that threatens the security
and existence of this country.
For that reason we think it wise for
the United States to assist Great Britain
in her struggle against Germany and the
extent of the assistance should be meas
ured BIZ her need IN resisting Germany.
Understand, our aid to Great Britain would
not be extended in the Interests of Great
Britain but as a protecfion to the United
States
We would make it national policy
of the United States to prevent any group
of hostile nations from becoming strong
enough to attack this hemisphere. Frank
", we would work the balance of power
reasoning that was used by Great Britain
for so many years in Europe. Thus, we
would attempt to avoid war always but
we would. fight. anytime, anywhere. to
preserve the balance of power that would
prevent other nations from joining in an
attack upon us.

This is pretty good time for
Americans to give little thought
to the parable about the man
who built his house on the sand
and the chap who built his upon
the rock. You viii recall the
house built On the sand. while a
very beautiful and costly dwell

without foundation.
Today we are feverishIy build

America. Congress has appro-
priated billions for national de-
Tense. We are to have a two
ocean navy, million more men
for the army, tanks, guns and all
that goes to make a great and
powerful military machine.

power; her army was long term

too; spent billions for defense

but like the house on the sand,

Military preparedness is essen
tial and It is imperative that we
provide this nation with such Sc
curity. But no matter how large
our army or how powerful our
navy, unless our military ma
chine is built on firm and solid
foundation il cannot save US from
destruction
The totalitarian powers are
confident of their ability to con-
quer America-not with bombs
or planes or tanks or ships. They
realize that military action
against US would be difficult with
little hope Of success But still
