Watchful
Waiting for
Japanese

TOkY0-A declaration of
policy which meant a definite
turning point in Japanese for
eign relations was approved
today at an imperial confer
ence which met under the
Emperor Hirohito.
Foreign Minister Yosuks Mat

ment that the governments course
for the moment would be one Of

WATCH DEVELOPMENTS
Matsuoka said the government
must cautiously watch with firm
determination not only the cir
cumstances directly concerned
with the Russo-German war but
the world situation as a whole,
he said. and the relations between
the powers as well as the powers
movements.

fore our people must all the
more take n cool and calm
attitude, live up 10 the SOW
ereign's wishes and not err IN
the slightest degree In tread

spect both it's alliance with Ger

Fresh Water Supply To
Be Much Greater Than
1t Was First Intended

With an unofficial report pre-
dieting fresh water for Key West
within the next eight or nine
months already in hand, William
T. Doughty, chairman of the Key
West Aqueduct commission, will
leave with his fellow commission
ers for Miami Monday afternoon
to get final, official report.
Doughty said this morning he
had talked last night with S. P.
Robineau, commission attorney,
and had been assured of an RFC
loan of between $1,000,000 and
$1,500,000. William. M. Arnold
and Earl Adams, members of the
commission, will accompany
Doughty to Miami to get an of
fetal report from Robineau.
Present plans for the project
call for water sufficient to supply
Key West population of 100000
persons, Robineau reported to
Doughty last night.

poses, will give Key West ca
pacity flow three to four times
greater than the original project,
Robineau reported.
With the 100000, the navy
could have had only from 100000
to 100000 gallons a day, while
from 100000 to 100000 gallons
a day will be possible under the
new setup.
The combined water supply
now will enable the navy to sup
ply ships of the Caribbean patrol
and Key West will have as much
as it can possibly expect to use for
a period of at least 20 years.
"This water supply" Robineau
added, will make the Florida
keys and Key West the most at
tractive localities in Florida for
new developments for tourists
and home seekers as well as pos
sibly developing the agriculture
developments of the area to such
an extent as only heretofore had
been dreamed of"

At the end of next week the

for contributions to this impor-
tant fund, Chairman Carleton
said. ut expects everyone to
recognize The importance of the
matter and to come forward with
his contribution We are not
down and out'-we are live,
prosperous and self-supporting
community, fully able to put over
big state convention of the size
of the American Legion's".
Chairman Carleton revealed
that each merchant contributing
TO the campaign will be present
ed with an insignia or emblem in
dicating that he has done his part
TO help the community. 1t is

Rionnaires patronize those places

butte 10 the convention fund.
''The posting of this insignia is
very important to the merchant.
Chairman Carleton said at is a
rule that the Legionnaires are al
ways willing TO cooperate with
those merchants which have aid
ed in the drive for funds.
