CAUSE OF UNREST

of democracy.
CAUSE OF UNREST
When people are dying on the
seven seas and in every continent
to preserve decent world fit for
common people to live in; when
ours and other unions have taken
the lead in sacrificing their own
welfare in order to promote the
war effort; when every individual
and organization must put country
before self; it is shameful to see
how some employers are trying to
take away the workers gains and
rights, creating unrest and dis
content.
Satisfied workers are the best
insurance any employer or country
can have, for the contented worker
has something to live and fight
for. To deliberately set about
creating any opposite feeling on
the part of the employer is not
only an injustice to the worker; but
to our country, for it interferes
with the war effort, slowing it
down and thus contributes to pro-
longing the war.
A PLEDGE
In order to make this world
better place in which to live, it is
necessary to make industries bet
ter places in which to work, for,
the successful ending of this war
can be accomplished quickly only
by adding to, not taking away from
the workers their rights and gains.
To the accomplishment of this
aim, to the end that lives may not
be unnecessarily sacrificed and the
war ended as quickly as possible,
| pledge the international Union,
the staff, and myself.

SEEKING PERMIT
TO BUILD CAUSEWAY

Application has been made to
the War Department by United
States Navy. Naval Operating
Base, Key West, for permit to
maintain a causeway in Key West
Harbor connecting the northerly
side of Key West sland at point
about 0.6 of mile east of the
east end of Garrison Blight with
an existing island or spoil area To-
Gated southeasterly of the Naval
Seaplane Landing Area.
The spoil area was created in
dredging the Sea Plane Landing
Area. The causeway was built to
secure fill material from this spoil
area for the construction of an
Army airfield. This causeway
has top width of approximately
80 feet, and an elevation of 2.3
feet above mean low water. The
length of the causeway, Key West
Island to the spoil area, is about
5000 feet.
1t is not proposed to hold a pub
lie hearing on this application.
Anyone desiring to protest the
proposed work from the stand
point of its interference with. or
ERECT upon, navigation, should
submit such protest in writing,
with reasons in sufficient detail
to permit intelligent consideration

ALLIED SHIPPING
MAGIC

North African Campaign

If the North African campaign
is a success, as now seems indi-
dated, Lieut.. Gen. Dwight Qke)
Eisala4YAer win go down as a
sshipbuilder" whose exploits
take precedence over the miracles
performed by Henry j. Kaiser.
In one swoop, Gen. Eisenhow-
er will have virtually doubled
the size of the whole Allied mer-
chant marine. The Importance
of this dramatic easing of the
critical shipbuilding problem to
all fronts cannot be overesti-
mated.
Shipping has been the really
desperate focal point of our
whole war effort, by official adj
mission. The terrific distances
involved in moving supplies to
the southwest Pacific, to the In
dia-Burma theater and to the
Middle East have had the war
planners gray-headed with wor-
ry. Despite magnificent achieve
ments by U. S. shipbuilders, the
need for cargo space has always
been ahead of available bottoms.
The American landings in
North Africa, if expanded to act
ual control of the south shore of
the Mediterranean, mean a
whole fleet of new vessels Gre
ated overnight for the further
garrisoning and supplying of all
world fronts.
1t sounds like magic on glo-
bal scale, but actually it's mat
ter of simple arithmetic.
The closing of the Mediterran-
can as a regular military supply
route vastly complicated the
problem of Allied munitions and
troop transport. 1t required from
five to seven times as many
ships to carry the same guam
tity of goods and men around
Africa to the Middle East as over
the route through he Mediter-
ranean.
1t is something over $4,000
miles from England around the
Cape of Good Hope to Suez. 1t
is somewhat more than 1000
miles from England to North

In addition to a saving of an
expert-estimated IS per cent in
the number of ships needed to
service the Allied troop-muni-
tionS pool in the Middle East,
the requirements of the England
India run would be cut one
third.
What this means to the furth-
erance of Allied offensives is OBJ
vious. Scores on scores of freight
erS would be released for supple
menting the present service of
supply to Australia, to Russia
and to Alaska, all three of which
have suffered by reason of ship
shortages which did not permit
the movement of arms already
fashioned and waiting at dock
side for transport.
There is evidence that the sur
prise offensive had this relief of
overworked Allied shipping as
its primary purpose. The strate-
gic import of the campaign, in its
relation to future offensives di-
rected at the Axis southern ex-
posture, cannot be minimiZed.
The immediate advantages in
shipping, however, will be the
first great gain if Gen. Eisen-
hover completes his mission.
