UNDER ANOTHER NAME

Key Westers, in talking about the
''disestablishing" of the Naval Operating
Base in Key West, should be discrimina-
tive. To hear some of us talk, one would
think that naval activities were to be dis
continued in Key West as they were in
November, 1880.
The Naval Station is in Key West, and
the only thing about it that has been
changed is the name. 1t is no longer a Naval
Operating Base; it is now United States
Submarine Base. 4'a,,~sa .aea &e@ sin9o
All physical assets or equipment of
the MOB are still in the Navy Yard. What
has happened there novels altogether diff.
ferent from what occurred in the Naval
Station i'm November, 1880, when it was
put on an inactive basis Some of the plants
in the yard were stripped at that time and
shipped to Charleston and elsewhere, and
the designated inactive basis was really
a caretaking basis, for only few men re-
tanned their jobs.
We don't know to what extent the
changing of the name of the base will
affect adversely the civilian employees
there, and, so far as has been publicly an
nounced, the Navy Department has not yet
decided on the curtailment, if there is to
be curtailment, of the civilian workers in
the yard.
Ma have. heard, as many other Key
Westers have heard, that some of the en-
ployes wiiIbfof their i1aEbsaand that others
viii eafnSess money thansthaw are now ret
ceiying but That report is in the realm off
hearsay. io a' ~ 81" "'S fe%i I'o1z 2I 1o '
1t is of no availjoothe than to cause
uneasiness, to try to anticipate what the
Navy Department will do. Like other de-
partments of government, much time
elapses in arriving at decision, and,
sometimes, when a decision is reached,
several weeks pass before it is publicly an
nounced.
Of one thing we are certain, the MOB,
so far as it's assets are concerned, is still
here under another name.

CHILDREN

Census Bureau statistics reveal that
parents with good education and comfort
able homes have few children while par
ents with little education and poor homes
have many children.
This is not what might be called news.
IL has been generally observed throughout
the nation. The usual answer, as ,ex-
pounded by those who try to solve human
problems, has been the suggestion that
educated couples have more children.
The advice, which has been handled
around for the last two decades has not
oeeh taken and. as result we now hear
suggestions that, maybe, the solution is to
persuade the uneducated to have fewer
chlldren. Possibly, the aim is to be attained
by educating the uneducated.

w BRITISH DESERVE A LOAN

Whieh is Being much discussed. might we'll
be a gift Outright and s-As~s9seks, we be-
lieve, with only: the Consideration of the
interest of the United States.
The fact of the matter is that the
British Empire, in it's present economic
weakness, will have to use artificial con-
trolls to keep going. What this country is
anxious to establish in the world is free
economy that will promote international
trade on a multi-nation basis In return for
the loan, which will strengthen the British
financial position, our English speaking
cousins agree to play ball with us in regard
to the development of world trade.
There is one other consideration for
the loan. 1t concerns national defense. The
British Isles are not outposts of the United
States but they serve, even when they act
in their own selfish interest, to protect us
from &ggressOr nations in Europe. Sd long
as the, British Isles maintain their strength
asa nation we can count on something like
a buffer state between us and any ambi
tiOus dictators.

Approved For Key West

TIVITY IN ISLAND
CITY

Civilian Production Admins
tration, Miami, announced today
that E. A. Strunk, Jr., had been
granted a permit for construction
of an $4,000 storage shed for his
lumber yard. Reason given for
granting the request was that
the company is being evicted
from its present location due to
the automobile ferry's need for
the property in their Key West
to-Hayana operations.
Another construction permit
was granted to A. w. Castro, IT'S
Emma street, of $4,000, and
reason advanced by the CPA
was that this construction would
be used for stores near the col
ored school, and that at present
there were no stores near the
school where the school children
can eat.
CPA announced approval of
1921, 900 worth of construction,
and disapproved construction
which would have brought the
total to $444,29 Twenty-six re-
quests for permits were denied
during the past week. Twelve
were approved.
