ARMY TRAINED AND EQUIPPED

The strength of the u. S. Army has
passed 100000 men and more than $780,
900 soldiers have been safety transported
overseas.
The achievement dwarfs any similar
accomplishment in the first World War but
it is even more encouraging when we con-
slider that the arms, equipment and sup
plies of the present American army are, for
the most part, the products of our own war
industries.
In the earlier World War much of the
arms and material used by American troops
was provided by the British and French. In
this war, the are not only training vast
Army, but we are also providing it Wild the
tools of war. Reports from various battle
grounds indicate that the tools are unex-
celled by those of any other army.

SENATOR NORRIS

We have long admired the public
career of Senator George Norris, of Ne
braska, and regret that in the evening of his
life he should go down to defeat.
Political experts, however, say it was
largely his own fault. He repeatedly an
nounced his retirement and, at almost the
last hour decided to offer again for, re-
election.
The 81-year-old veteran seemed ITO
take his defeat to heart, saying he could
not understand it and that the voters of his
state mad repudiated all that he stood for
in his long and courageous public career.
This is mistaken view. The policies
of the Nebraskan have, in large degree,
become the accepted policies of the United
States. He has lived to see the fruition of
many of his politial dreams.

WE NEED HOUSES, WPBl

Men who work in the Key West Navy
Yard, Army Barracks and on defense pro-
jects surely are doing their "bit' to help
promote the war effort Not even the War
Production Board will dispute the fact;
neither, The Citizen believes, will it dispute
the fact that man who works should have
place where he can sleep comfortably.
For those reasons The Citizen thinks
that the War Production Board, in ordering
that no building permits for more than.
5000 be issued in Key West took that action
before being fully informed of the condi-
tons, in the matter of housing accommoda-
tons, that prevail here.
Many in Key West, who are working
directly or indirectly for the government,
have no proper place where they can sleep.
We, in Key West, are acutely aware of that
circumstance and are doing all we can TO
remedy it. Houses are being constructed
here and there, scores of them at time,
and along comes the WPB and says no more
houses can be built, for its order practically
amounts to that by limiting a permit to
5000.
Clarence Higgs, business agent of the
Carpenters Union in Key West, pertinent
ly points out that, as this city is an import4
ant defense area, building here ties in with
the war effort We need more houses to
provide accommodations for men who are
working for Uncle Sam, and when the WPB
says we can not have them, it is really in
terfering with one of the important things
that contribute to the war effort.
The fact is lack of housing accommo-
dations has caused the only discordant
note in Key Vests war effort. Al few days
ago The Citizen published an editorial
about series of letters that had been pub
lished in a Miami newspaper about Key
West-letters that were severely critical
and most of the censure was unjust and I'M
fair.
The source of all those complaints was
the lack of housing accommodations: de-
Tense workers asserting that they could not
find houses or rooms in which to reside, and
navy men complaining about their inabili-
ty to find accommodations for their fami-
lies
Shortage of houses has been realized
in Key West since this country entered the
war, and strenuous efforts have been made
to try to relieve the shortage Now up
steps the WPB and puts a stop to those eff
forts
The Citizen agrees with Mr.. Higgs
that the WPB, instead of stopping building,
should have encouraged it, because more
housing accommodations in Key West are
essential to keeping the local war effort at
high pitch.
