THE NAVY COMES BACK

Key Westers are jubilant over word
that headquarters of the seventh naval dis
trict which includes all of Florida except
Pensacola and the area west Of there, will
be returned here from Charleston, S. c.
Most people here have blamed Secre-
tary of the Navy Swanson during the Hoo
yer administration for removing the dis
trict headquarters from Key West and re-
ducing the station to ''ghost town. proper
.tions. Actually, the policy of the United
States at that time was hinged on the idea
of world forever at peace and reduction
of the Key West naval station was only one
of hundreds of similar cases throughout the
nation.
In any event, transfer of district head
quarters back to Key West and the steady
increase in the size and importance of the
station are sources of great satisfaction to
the entire city.
With the local station doubling in size
by the month and slated for command by an
admiral, it seems incredible to remember
that three years ago Lieut. Comdr. Gala
han was the only commissioned officer
here, filling the positions now occupied by
half dozen executives.
Navy expansion is only beginning to
get into full swing now and within the next
six months to year Key West can look
forward to continued increases in the size
of IT'S establishment. It's good prospect
and apparently there will be no repetition
of the old ship-sinking policy.

MIGHTY SINGAPORE

Since the situation in the Far East has
becomemore acute, interest in that region
has been largely centered about Singapore,
Britair's great naval base and key to south
eastern Asia and the East Indies.
The development of Singapore as
naval stronghold was begun in 1925 and in
volved an expenditure of more than $50
million dollars. 1t was formally opened on
February ID. 1888, when three United
States cruisers took part in the ceremonies.
The protected base is capable OF &C
communicating practically half of the British
Navy and has the second largest craving
dock in the world. besides a floating dry
dock that will take vessels of $4,000 tons.
The tidal basin has nearly mile of wharf
walls. with water depths of from 30 TO 40
feet alongside. There are immense ammu-
nition and supply iepotS. railroad sidings,
and reservoirs for d million tons of fuel oil.
There is a large air base and normal
army garrison of 10000 men. some of
whom are detailed 20 man the elaborate
system of coastal deferSeS which include

many smaller cannon. anti-aircraft and

BILL OF RIGHTS WEEK

Under authority of an act passed last
year by the New York legislature, that
state has Just celebrated Bill of Rights
Week, the object of which is to emphasize
the purpose, meaning and Importance of
the Bill of Rights particularly in the
education of children.
The week was marked by patriotic
rallies by many school, church and civic or
carnations with suitable exercises in
which the liberties guaranteed by the first
ten amendments to the Constitution were
contrasted with the almost complete alb
sence of freedom in totalitarian countries:
1t is we'll that the youth of America
should be taught to understand and ap
preciate these liberties, especially at such
time as the present when subversive ele-
ments of our population are seeking to UNI
dermine ard destroy our most cherished in
situations.
The United States is honey-combed
with organizations sponsored by Nazis,
Fascists and Communists and their SYM
pathizers. who spread their poisonous doc
trines by every possible means, as has been
shown by the revelations of the Dies COM
mttee.
Most of these organizations adopt
Notwithstanding names to hide their true
character. and often obtain financial and
other support from otherwise good citizens.
Educational efforts such as those of
Bill of Rights Week should be helpful IN
KEEPING American youth from being in
fluenced by subversive groups.
