MUNICIPAL STADIUM

Birth was given last week to an idea
that is positively inspirational.
The idea was sired by civic leaders
who gathered in public meeting to form
ulate plans Tor a basketball league.
They discovered that they could have
their league, but that they had no place 70
put t. 50 bravely. optinistically. they de-
cided that Key West needs municipal rec
reational center, and that since it needed II.
It should have it.
And It should
L wouldn't be just another vacant lot
whsre young men gather to play. It could
serve Key West with profit Just as stadia
do in every city that Is progressive and sue
eessful.
To city that aspires to be attractive
to tourists. such municipal project is a de-
sired requirement.
It could be used for many purposes.
Key West doesn't have to initiate Miami
with It's Orange bowl. which IS copy Of the
Rose bowl, the Cotton bowl, the Sugar bowl,
etc. It could conceive something more
original. something worthy Of Key West.
something that would riyet the attention of
the entire nation.
That is why the city should get behind
this idea eagerly and enthusiastically.
The time vas never more propitious.
The city is prosperous Workers are draw
ing fail envelopes AMI could be induced to
subscribe TO money raising fund, if that is
found necessary. The army. navy, coast
guard and air corps have already ex-
pressed a keen desire to support the
proposal.
If the idea is permitted TO die in its
infancy, Key West viii rue the day that it
failed to see the unlimited possibilities OF
this proposition.
The mayor, city council, the service
clubs. the chamber of COMMERCIAL
should encourage the committee which al
ready has been formed to study the pro-
posal
Money should be no object. There
should be no lack Of effort to plan so
worthy.
As Lincoln said, I'VE shall nobly save
or meanly lose. We have so terribly much.
Are we going'to lose it merely BY lack of
effor?9

For many years the French were afraid
Of the superior strength OF Germany and
sought an outright alliance with the British.
Eventually, they secured their ally and

AS A NATION WE CAN CHOOSE

This armament business IS peculiar.
The United States IS getting ready to
produce a vast fleet OF airplanes IN order to
defend itself and the experts tell Us that
plane-types are being developed so rapidly,
under war conditions, that the planes may
be obsolete before we need them for actual
warfare.
Thus we see that where danger exists
N the world, which forces the United States
to arm, we can spend billions Of dollars
and, unless the war comes quickly, will need
other billions for newer models. An up-tO-
the-minute defense requires the regular
spending of huge sums.
Unless the world crisis is ended in a
peace that endures for some years, the ma
tions Of the world viii eventually become
bankrupt through expenditures for war
Germany armed for q purpose and when at
the peak Of offensive power entered upon a
campaign OF aggression. The United States,
arming for defense. must spend money IN
til an enemy decides to attack
