But we can make some provision, ask the county com- mission to make some provision, in the next budget for sponsorship of a beach project. When the commission holds its budget | hearing late this month our influential citi- zens must demand a-beach project spon- | sorship fund. What can be done to provide our win- | ter visitors this season with beach facili- ties? It has been suggested that the Coral Isle Casino and beach be leased from the | Sweeney éstate and reconditioned as a temporary publi¢ bathing resort. If freed be prison labor may be uséd to clean up the beach and keep it clean: The city might be able to: let out a service eontes- sion at. the Casino to coverithe cost of maintaining and policing the beach. This idea is worth official investiga- tion. Key West must do something to keep the visitor here. Many hundréds turn back to the mainland every month be- cause the city doesn’t provide them with a beach where they can soak up our suf shine. Northerners pay plenty every winter to acquire a Florida tan. The majority of them won’t pay a cent just to look at the blue waters lapping our shores, They want to get in the water without snagging | their toes on rocks and messing up their bodies with slime, scum and filth. KEEP OUT OF WAR (Jacksonville Tribune) In the last ten days the country has become alarmed over recent utterances of President Roosevelt which have had'the effect of ‘creating a war psychology in this nation, As indicating the frame of the Presidential mind, Mr. ‘Roose- velt’s words have been as frightening as they have been amazing. : Conduct of American foreign relations is a difficult, complicated undertaking. The Presi- dent in eonduct of foreign relations should have —and under the Constitution does have—great latitude for action. Moreover, in a matter of for- eign affairs the President should: speak for the entire nation within the lines of our traditional policies and when he does so desetves the sup- port of all of us. The primary and foremost objective of Am- erican foreign policy should be to keep this coun- try at honorable peace with the remainder of the world. As long as the President pursues that couse he is entitled to the support of every Citi- zeh--support which he received, for instance, at Riese he Famathe pontbed Meneee eee boat Panay.
