The House did its ee as it saw it, but it took a lot of telegrams. Thomas Jones was captain of the Mayflower; he was evidently one of the Jones boys. A lot of nice cars containing a lot of fine visiting folks were in Key West for the week-end. The Citizen is your newspaper and anxious to serve you and your needs as far as possible. In return,—but why bring that up? If you can remember when “I love my wife, but oh, you kid,” was the prevailing | flippancy, you must be getting along.— Times-Union. You will remind us! In Mayor Albury Key West has a/| chief executive who may be approached | without the precaution of wearing a mask for protection, as appears necessary on oc- | casion when in the august presence of the | | same Hirota of “increased preparedness” mayor of Miami. The wisest president of the United | States is he who refuses to serve but one term. The Citizen with many other papers | favors a single six-year term without priv- ilege of suceession. That'll knock out of their heads'any thought of dictatorship. | thorizes a | HAS JAPAN SFOLEN A MARCH? = Discussing a two-ocean fleet and | hearing about a billion dollars to be spent on warships the average American is apt to get a little bit mixed up in regards to | his navy. In the first place, the present strength below the limitation { } of the United States Navy is | standard of parity set by the | treaties. Despite the construction of the short of be the Japanese | Saal four years our fleet is still This may | modern-age vessels. | for the statement of the | ba: | Rear Admiral Ishimaru, who says the Jap- i | anese navy is superier in quality to the | United States fleet now. | The argument over the relative effi- | ciency of airplanes and battleships | the decision to battleships some ‘people to the conclusion that the | United States is “dressed-up’” with battle- ships. As a matter of fact, the two battle- | ships started in 1937 will hardly be fight- | ing machines before 1942 and by that time five of our present battleships will be over- age, to the satisfaction of powers which began to build modern battleships several years ago. The present debate over the billion and build | dollar naval building program is extremely | proposal | misleading because all that the does is to declare a naval limit. Today, | the size of our fleet is fixed by law in ac- cordance with the limitation treaty, which nobody regards. The new “program” au- larger navy but it will take other legislation to. appropriate money be- fore a single warship can begin the pro- | cess of construction. Because there is so much talk about battleships and so many estimates of com- parative strength on the basis of if-we- build there is an idea that we have the ships. Actually, the suspicion exists that before the United States can carry out its construction program there will be a year | in which the Japanese navy will be more powerful than our own. Certainly, even now, in view of the Japanese building in the past few years, there is a much closer balance than most Americans suspect. If Japan builds while we debate, and Japan will build, the margin will be against us. Now, while our Congressmen and citizens debate whether to build a fleet be- fitting the world’s richest nation, the | word comes from Japan that Foreign Min- ister Hoki Hirota hopes to stop the world’s ‘naval race. This will lead some bright patriot in this country to propose that we stop all naval construction pending another pow-wow on limitation of fleets, which will be fine for Germany, Italy and Japan, now busy building new and larger battleships. It follows Japan’s refusal to disclose her building plans and the advocacy by the by Japan in order to guard against the pos- sibility of interference by a third power in her undeclared war against China.
