FERRIES FROM KEY WEST

That story, published in The Citizen
Friday, in which Harold Colee executive
vice president of the Florida State Cham
Der of Commerce, stated that he had al
ready arranged for goodwill tour on the
first ferry to leave Key West for Ha-
vana, Yucatan and other countries, was
the most enheartening local news that we
have published in a long time.
Besides, MIR. Colee. stated, the state
chamber is going to help in fnrthering tie
movement to have the Overseas Highway
bridges made toll-free. &
However, this fact should not be over
looked: regardless of whether or not the
tolls are removed, Key West will have a
ferry system operating between here and
Latin American countries.
Behind the ferry movement is George
Gibbs president of the Gibbs Gas Co., in
Jacksonville, and chairman of the Florida
Improvement Commission. Mr.. Gibbs has
already decided to run the ferries, and
Mr.. Cofee said he felt confident that Mr..
Gibbs will get behind the movement to
make the bridges tolEfree.
That is in keeping with the Pan
American Highway running down the Flor
ida Keys to the terminus in Key West,
where automobiles will be driven aboard
ferries to continue their trip to Havana,
the western tip of Cuba and on to Yucca
tan. 1t will be dream come true-a
dream that has been INDUCED by hundreds
of Key Westers for many years.
Mr.. Colee plans for good will
delegation, composed of members of con-
gress, Governor CALDWELL, other state of
ficials and outstanding business men in
Florida, to make the first trip on the fer
ries on three aforementioned buses.
Operation of the ferries is reasonably
sure; let us hope that Governor Caldwell
will find way to make the bridges toll
free.

WHY WE STOPPED AT THE ELBE

1T is interesting to record the declara-
ton of General Eisenhower that he did not
halt American troops at the Elbe River,
or anywhere else, last spring because the
Russians requested it.
This yarn as widely circulated in the
United States by various columnists. So
far-as we know it has not hitherto been de-
MED by any responsible officer connected
with the allied armies.
General Eisenhower explains that he
ordered American commanders to stop at
the -Elbe River short of Berlin, in order
to move southwark toward Hitler's Ba-
vaFian redoubt. This order was given
weeks before the Americans reached the
Elbe River and constituted a part of his
general campaign, designed to break the
fighting power of Germany
Readers should recall that, prior to
the collapse of Germany, it was freely pre-
dicted that the NaziS would retreat into Ra-
varia and Austria, where, it was said, they
would stage last-ditch guerrilla warfare.
General Eisenhower apparently was de-
termlned to prevent this from happening
and; consequently, deployed his advanc-
ing troops to make it possible.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1945-08-20
COMMEMORATE BUT DANGEROUS

The people of the United States and,
we presume, of the United Nations, were on
the anxious seat for several days last week
momentarily expecting the news that ia
pan had accepted the unconditional sur
render terms of the allied nations.
The popular excitement demonstrated
conclusively the love of peace that dwells
within the heart of the average American
Notwithstanding the great triumphs that
have crowned our flag in warfare the peo-
pie wanted peace and the return of their
fighting sons
This is an admirable trait and one
which augers we'll for the future peace of
the world. 1t reflects deep-seated hatred
of warfare and demonstrates the reuct-
ance of democratic people to continue
the processes. of modern warfare, even
when the devastation almost. exclusively
affects enemy property.
Commemorate as this preference for
peace may be we should not overlook the
danger that it carries to our republic. If,
through love of peace, we neglect the fun
damental security of the nation or become
lmpetuouS in our anxiety for normal liv-
ing, we will risk more than we gain.
AS we have said before, there is not
much danger of militarism in this coun-
try but the peril that democracies have to
fear is that love of peace and regard for
individual life might make us careless in
the defense of our liberties;
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1945-08-20

made of this, however! Had it
been, the citizens would have
been able to see that we were not
burdening them as taxpayers. 1t
might be well to mention right
here that we, 100, are taxpay-
ers! And, also, that one time,
after we had used the school for
special occasion, We contributed
to the board IS dollars in thanks
for use of the building, and for
which we never have received an
acknowledgement!
Then, some citizens are Won
dering about another group that
has been using the Harris School
for years. While they are said to
be of no particular denomination,
that is not the point, although a
Miami paper reported one men,
Der of the board as giving that
for reason why such groap
would remain in the school. Does
that mean that we are being put
out because we ARE of a particu-
lar belief? The point at issue,
though, is that ''there is some
one else using the building, re-
gardless of whether for religious,
political, or other reasons. And
if one uses it, why not others?
Let it be made plain right here
that we do not. intend to stay in
the building, even should the
School Board permit. Had it
been possible 10 find a. staitables
place before, in which to hold our
meetings, we would have been
out of the schools long ago. We
want another place, more suited
to our purposes, more public. And
if anyone can show us a suitable
place in crowded Key West, we
would be thankful to know about
it.
To conclude this letter, l think
the public should be informed
that one of the members of the
board told us that they had let
ter from some organization de-
manding that we be denied use
of the schools! What organiza-
ton would try to dictate to the
School Board? They should be
made known! Did this letter de-
eide the boards action? What
are the contents of the communi-
cation, and the reasons why the
organization believes we should
not be permitted to use the
schools? Why was this not told
to the public?
In the interest of accuracy and
truth,
