Key West waters are warm, refreshing, invigorating and with just codles of vitamin “D” generating down with the warm rays of the sun, the combination is one that thrills the bathers. | As The Miami Herald aptly points out in an editorial, the reopening of the naval station in Key West is not a matter of local pride but a national necessity “‘so long as the United States is to continue her Cen- tral American policy...” Indeed, the Platt Amendment alone is sufficient warrant for this country to have a naval base in active operation near the covvtry to which the amendment is Daily Cross-word Puzzle’ 000 00000000000000000000000000088 0000S SOOM OCOOSOE AcCKOSS 4 Winglike 6.

The Herald editorial, which The Citi- zen finds pleasure in reproducing, fol- lows: A REAL NEED Public sentiment which favors econo- my in national government for every other place hat locally kept the Hoover admini- stration from elosing army posts. Wheth- er it also wil: prevent President Roosevelt from shutting up at least 50 of these use- less appendices to the national defense, re- mains to be seen, but indications that in the face of a policy of strengthening im- portant posts and destroying those marked as unimportant, the protests may not have much weight. It wouid seem that the government should set up the armed defense along some better pattern than the Topsy-like growth that has so far prevailed. With the war department, so also with the navy. The station at Key West was closed on a small economy wave and now the United States finds it really needs a naval station in Key West, because of turbulence in the Carib- bean! If Mark Wilcox, fourth dist: congressman, can make that point stick Wt this time, the return of the navy to Key West should be permanent, because of the purpose behind the movement. In this day of advanced transporta- tion, there is small need for scattering the standing army through 150 posts, when 50 would do just as well, with an enormous annual saving to the taxpayers. The Herald hopes President Roosevelt will find it pos- sible to make this sensible consolidation, as well as to reopen a base like Key West. | KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY) Happenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen In response to the requests of many citizens, Dr. C.

The Cuban dis- turbance will not, we trust, be of sufficient duration to require much further attend-| years and will be known as thes ance there of United States war vessels. But no one, can tell, and so dong a8 the Unit- ed States is to’continue her Central Amer- ican policy, she should be prepared. The Key!West naval base is essential for that type of preparation.» It is not lo- eal.pride or desire to keep a government income property around that should weigh in ‘the ‘disposition ‘of that: base, any-- mere than in getting rid of useless army posts. The need here is evident, and if the Unit- ed States is to have naval bases anywhere, certainly the one in Key West should be re- established. CREDIT WHERE DUE A columnist in the Portland Oregon- ian comments on the amazing care with which the federal public works program is being administered. Government en- gineers employed by the department in charge, are watched at all hours—and if they are seen to fraternize with persons who stand to gain from contracts, they are liable to be summarily dismissed. Every contract, sma: or large, is investigated and studied by officials to prevent graft an profiteering.
