THE NAVY WATER PROPOSAL

A dispatch to The Citizen this week
from Washington indicates that Congress
man A Pat Cannon stands ready to spon-
sor legislation now being drawn up by the
ravy department to permit the depart
ment to construct a water system from the
Florida mainland to Key West and to sell
water to private consumers here.
1t is argued that the navy y needs a
large supply ofsfresh, water for the. naval
station and the naval seaplane base. here ;
that the construction program could be
pushed through with neatness and dis
patch by the navy department and that
this will provide a water service here
quicker than through giving federal funds
to the Florida Keys Aqueduct Commits
sion.
Another phase of the plan is that
there is precedent for the navy selling
water to private consumers provided the
service is not in competition with any other
water supply agency.
In general, the people of Key West
do not care by what means water sup
ply is brought here. They are not con-
cerned with whether the water is supplied
by the Florida Keys Aqueduct Commits
sion, the United States Navy OF Bill Jones,
Inc. What they want is an ample sup
ply Of fresh water, so that strangers, I'M
aware Of the purity and quality of the rain
water we drink may be encouraged to
come here and build their homes, apart
ments ard business establishments.
Under the proposed navy supply plan,
Key West seems assured of a water sup
ply. But would the plan assure the Flor
ida Keys an adequate supply? That ques-
ton is being asked by some of those who
have been aiding the Florida Keys Aque-
duet Commission to get federal funds for
supplying all the keys
Key West needs a back country to
augment its tourist business and the bust
ness involved in catering to the army,
navy, marine corps and coast guard. A
back country can be provided by giving
the thirsty keys fresh water, electricity
and better transportation, as The Citizen
has repeatedly pointed out.
H.. Although The Citizen believes the
plan to permit navy construction of a
water system has a lot of merit so far as
the citizens of Key West are concerned,
we also believe that it would be sensible
for the aqueduct commission and our civic
interests to make certain that the keys also
will be supplied with water. t

SCANDINAVIA FEARS GERMANY

There were 100000 French and
British soldiers ready to sail for the relief
of Finland long before the Films signed
the enforced peace terms, declares the
British Prime Minister, Neville Chamber
lain.
Why were the troops withheld? Be-
cause, says Mr.. Chamberlain, the fear of
Germany in Scandinavia is so great that
not only were Norwegians and Swedes
afraid to grant permission for the pas
sage of troops, under the League of Ma
tons, but the Firms were afraid even to ask
for them lest Germany attack from the
rear as the Russians attacked Poland in
the last stages of the German campaign.
The hard-headed will ask why
didn't the British and French send troops
without waiting for Finnish request and
regardless of permission from Norway and
Sweden?" This would have been foolish
Such an expedition would have had dan
gerous work to do, without having to con-
tend with fighting their way through hos
tile neutral rations, which have probably
had the assistance of German soldiers.

Science is always developing theories
and telling us new things. The other day
the Federated Societies heard that there is
q kind of electrical brain activity, pro-
duced by cells which build up an electrical
charge and then flash miniature lightning
belts to adjoining cells.
We won't pursue the discovery much
further at this time but the idea is worth
watching. Maybe, in the years to come, a
student failing in his classes, will be able
to 90 to a service station and get supply
of electricity that will set his brain to
thinking.
Without reference to any persons in
this neighborhood we can imagine that
there are many individuals who need
some sort of miniature lightning in their
heads. The only way they can be made to
/ mink is for somebody to make it as easy
TO do as it is to sit down and rest.

New Field Of Cotton
Consumption Is Opened

NEW YORK, March 6.-LP-The
Cotton Textile institute ANNOUNCED
today that a broad new field of cot
ton consumption had been opened
by experimental use of cotton bags
for fertilizer.
A carload of sulphate Of am
monia packed in cotton bags has
just reached Pine Bluffs Ark, and
an inspection made for the institute
shows that the bags as well as the
material were in good condition.
This was one of the first trade
experiments with cotton bags for
that purpose, the institute said.
Sulphate of ammonia is a by.
product of steel mills and though
most of this product is shipped IN
bulk to fertilizer manufacturers,
about $4,000 tons are put up III
bags each year for distribution
through retail channels.
