WHY NOT A PARKING GARAGE? !?

Editor, The Citizen:
Every time go to Miami park our car in the
upper deck of several-story garage. It makes me
wonder why Key West couldn't have garage like that
with ramps leading to upper floors
The corner of Eaton and Duval Fleming and Duval
would be convenient location to the shopping dis
trct 1t would certainly take Of heavy parking
situation.
Yes it would take money, but it would soon pay for
itself.
Just idea.

CHINESE COMPENSATE BRITISH

The Communist Chinese Government recently ac-
cepted British claim for $1,027, ,6OO as compensation
for arner shot down July This the first
time Communist Government had agreed to such
pensaton payment without long haggling and staling
The announcement recalled the words of former
British Prime Minister Clement Attlee after he had visit
ed China recently, that the Chinese Communists were
inclined to forms of reasoning than their
Russian colleagues
Mr. Attlee in his articles after his visit to Russia
and China voiced the hope that Western Powers would
somehow eventually be able to win China away from the
Soviet orbit While this is probably wshful thinking, the
Communist Chinese have behaved in strange fashion
for Communists concerning the Cathay Pacific Air
ways Skymaster shot down Hanan Island last July
The Chinese apologzed at the time for the act and prom
ised to pay compensation.
The British recently delivered their claim for
million dollars and the Chinese announced they would
accept that figure. Nine persons killed in the
cdent including three Americans but the Chinese have
never made any apologies to Washington.
The effort of the Chinese obviously to split the
Allies especially Great Britain and the United States
the two principal democracies but it also interesting in
view Of Mr. Atees words and the advice of others who
have been students Of the Far East and Asian people for
years.
Although nothing more can be said of the Chinese
acceptance of the British claim this month than that is
normal procedure among civilized nations, might be
good for the future and might be reflection of
Peipng sentiment for better relations with Western
powers.
Now that the elections over we can get down to
the truth again.
