Why do we always PAY a visit? They should be enjoyed. 4 Correct this sentence: “I have a lot of troubles, but never worry over them.” People are quite as open to error in judging others as in judging themselves, We can know others only by entering into personal relationship with them as equals, One can not always judge by appear- ances; a stick ‘of dynamite looks harmless enough. It seems entirely fitting that a recent book, described as ‘a romance of the fur trade,” is by Constance Skinner. " The proposal to limit the time of con- yersation over party lines may aid in pre- serving a good many reputations. ae * It is not likely that we will ever get free port, but it is within the realm of pos- sibility that we will get a free port.

Key West has the will and the faith, let us hope Uncle Sam has it, too. ~ Jonah was swallowed by a whale, and if you look at the angular structure of The Citizen porter, you will know the reason why the whale couldn't digest Jonah dur- ing three days and coughed him up.

First, Key West is nearer to those countries than any other city in the United States; Secondly, it has sufficient. depth of water and a harbor large enough to take care of the shipping, without further deep- ening of the chapnel, that would center here as a result of the establishment of a free port; Thirdly, a thorough survey made in Key West during 1929 demonstrated that this port is an ideal place to handle cargoes for trans-shipment. As. wes pointed out at the time the sur- yey was made, cargoes are stored in a free port under bond and no duties, therefore, are paid on them. Aside from the great benefits that would accrue to Key West in having a free port, such as an accommodation to shippers all over the world would, in. time, save i them millions of dollars, For instance, cargoes that are too small to warrant a steamship company to make the long run between Central or South America and distant points in many parts of the world, would be brought to Key West and stored under bond until trans-shipped to another steamer whose point of destination is the same as that to which the cargo here is ultimately con. | signed. Shortly after the completion of the | Panama Canal, newspapers published in seyeral other ports in Florida, particularly in one instance, claimed that it was nearer the Colon entrance to the canal than any other port, but The Citizen adduced facts to prove that Key West is the nearest port | in the United States to the Colon entrance. The Citizen feels it will not be neces- sary to present facts to prove that its first reason for advocating Key West as a free port is true, that is, that it is nearer to Cen- tra] and South America than any other city in.this country, as a glance at a map | Highest of the world shows that statement is true. And Key. West has the harbor, with sufficient depth of water, to meet the re- quirements of a free port, In that regard, The Citizen makes . no . comparison . with other harbors in Florida, but it does main- tain that none is better than the one here and that none is as near to Central and South America as the one in Key West. As we said in the beginning, we iterate in concluding: Key West is un- questionably the logical place for a free port for cargoes shipped to and from Cen- tral or South America. The Citizen has advocated’ this im- provement and project for many years, It has reached congress, but made no head- | way, the manufacturers in the United States standing in solid: phalanx against the innovation.
