PAGE FOUR TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE By THE MAN ABOUT TOWN | eeeccseseces i A list of proj the | seven year plan was recent!y pub-| lished in this paper, among them; under was a plan for a Yacht Basin at} the Garrison Bght with an esti- mated cost of three hundred thou-! sand dollars. Hl In my opinion this project is | perhaps the most needed, or will} be the most needed of any of those | listed. As Key West develops as| irresistible nature of the combina-| emotions of millions of American’ the FERA housing department. need for a/tion of sentiment and forces be-/ ¢itizens, a tourist center, the yacht basin is going to be keenly felt, and this location is about the} only available place for it. | The writer has for years hadj| ideas about the development of, this beautiful water basin, and! evidently some member of the] planning t d is looking into the future, and sees the necessity of this much needed improvement the } same as myself. | In planning this development, | the writer has an idea that “two; birds can be killed with one stone,” ill in a brief way outline his There is sufifient room in s expanse of water to fill in an} island in the middle of it, pumping | or dredging out the mud and rock ; surrounding the island to make the! basin from eighteen to twenty} feet in depth all around it. This istand could be used as a park or athletic field, where our baseball diamond could be located. The| baseball field could be pet in the} middle of the island, with a beau- tiful park surrounding it. It has; been demonstrated that any kind} of trees or plants will grow in the} marl or mud dug from our waters. We have only to point out Trum- | bo Island to convince you of thi: fact. Surrounding this nd v would have a channel of from a hundred to two hundred feet wide, end any depth of water that might be desired. Doeks for the boats could be constructed at various points around the island, and these could be used for fishing also. Thus we have a beautiful yacht basin and athletic field, combin- ed, both located right in the heart of the city, and within eosy access | of the people, and both can be built well within the amount of money which is being asked for in} the yacht basin project. | Objections might be raised to the building of an unsightly base- ball fence in the middle of the} projected island. No fence would is the island would nt distance from the shore line of North Beach, with a} scenic bridge connecting the street | with the island. When baseball games or other athletic events where an admis- sion charge -was teking place, the admission ceuld be charged at a booth at the entrance of the bridge. This would eliminate the y of an enclosed field. Aj few neat little buildings might be s quarters for the base-| that would be here during ining season, but these would not detract from the ap- pearance of the park, In planning this great improve-| inept and badly handled, that the} ment, it should be remembered that an athletic field on the upper end of the island could not be reached by the rank and file of the ‘people. Should anything akin to the ideas suggested here be car- ried out, your athletics would be| ‘Yight in the heart of the city, with- ip walking distance of all the peo- ple. Pau!

This view is generally held by the professional publicists who supported Landon. Those who supported the President say with justice that they anticipated the result, that it was inevitable —though most of them were sur- prised by the extent of the vic- tory. For the sake of the record, there is how the great battle of The President carried 46 states, for a total of 523 electoral votes. Governor Landon carried 2 states, with 8 electoral votes. The popular vote gave the President a majority of about 10,000,000—26,000,000 to 16,000,000 for his opponent. It was the most decisive electoral college victory since the two- party system became well estab- lished. So far so good. But when it comes to guessing why Mr. Roose- velt achieved the unprecedented, there is considerable difference of opinion, especially in the Republi- can camp. Thus, Walter Lipp- man, who supported Roosevelt in 1932 but turned to Landon in the last campaign, ha, written that the campaign was more or less normal—that it simply proved the truth of the old adage that an in- cumbent is unbeatable in a period of industrial improvement. Mr. Lippman also says that if the solid south—which no Republican ean hope to carry under any cir- eumstance—is eliminated from consideration, such Republican candidates\as Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, won just as handily. On the other hand, famed Wil- liam Allen White, one of Lan- don’s closest advisors, sees the election very differently. He be- lieves that “it was not just an election which the country has just undergone, but a- political Johnstown flood. The dam gave way which has been slowly filling for 40 years, fed by the waters of Bryanism, of Theodore Roosevelt’s progressivism, of La Follete’s Wisconsin insurgency, of Wil- sonian liberalism, of the progres- sive bloc in the Senate under the Administrations of Harding, Cool- idge and Hoover. The waters of the New Deal cover the earth, Re- publicans did not heed the warn4 ings... .” Generally speaking, this view is| widely held. In addition, prac- tically all commentators agree that the Republican campaign was party organization was about as bad as it could be, and that Lan- don and his advisors failed to make the best of the situation. By contrast, the Democratic machine under Jim Farley was a marvel of yefficiency. and effectiveness. ?There*was. no, waste _motion— everything’ worked with the pre- cision of a_ series of relay switches.

And here again there is a wide difference of opinion, even| in the Prasident’s own camp. Sup-! ported as he by aang varied groups, no one but the! Chief Exeeutive himself can an-| swer that question. Thus, one New Deal group is of the opinion that the President is likely to take a conservative course, now that business has recovered much of the ground lost during depression, is and will refrain from new experi- ments. This is a small group. ; Another group feels that the President will swing sharply to! the left, and go wnole hog along the path of a socialist or collec- tivist or fascist program. This | too is small, ; i The largest group, and the one which seems best informed and closest to the White House, feels that the second Roosevelt Ad- ministration will follow a middle- of-the-road course—that the Presi- dent will attempt the difficult job of holding the balance between radicalism on the one hand and! reaction on the other. In other| words, they feel that he will try to maintain a government-reg-; ulated capitalism—and at the same time keep the left-wingers! as contented as possible. At this writing, the President; himself has given but one indica- tion of future policy, that was his statement that the budget will! soon be balanced—a step which,| if achieved, will naturally be re-j garded as conservative, and will be lauded by industry. He seems to feel that better conditions make it possible to reduce gov- ernment relief spending by a con- siderable amount. This saving, plus the increase in tax income that results from improved in-| dustrial earnings and _ higher; taxes, may do away with Federal} deficits.
