They all concur in |! the belief that money for the water pipe- | line and pumping stations will soon be made available “if someone doesn’t throw a couple of wrenches into the machinery.” At the present time the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation is considering an | application for a loan of $1,000,000 and Progress Administration of a | 90,000 filed by the Florida tict* Commission for the water pees Tentative plans for the system cfficials of the federal | Their remarks are reported to have been encouraging, but they must make certain | that the project as outlined is feasible and sound from an engineering and legal stand- | point. Consequently a RFC engineer is | now in the area going over the ground with | aqueduct engineers and lawyers. Why anyone or any influence would | want to throw a monkey wrench into the machinery in connection with this project | is a mystery to The Citizen. The water to be piped here under ‘the project would not | be solely for the benefit of the keys or Key | West. It would be an important com- |. modity in connection with the national de- | if { fete. Key West’s navy plant has been recpened; there is every indication the army plant will’be expanded. The army and the navy have here rainwater storage ystems adequate for all normal demands, | but they need a water supply available in emergencies. It would seem, therefore, that anyone or any interest opposing the water project would be acting against the national de- fense. It seems on the face of things that ‘opposition to this project would be just as unpatriotic and just as anti-American as epposition to reconstruction and expansion of the naval and military facilities at this strongpoint in the national] defense system. The Citizen hopes that this time no | outside political or selfish commercial in- | terest will be able to divert favorable at- tention of the federal lending agencies away from this water project. WHAT IS A BOY? He is the person who will. carry -.on what you have started. When you are gone he will sit where you are sitting now, and will attend to those things which you today consider so important. He will sit at your desk in the senate and occupy your place on the supreme bench. He will move in and take charge of your prisons, churches, universities, counting houses and corporations. When you finish your work it will be he who will judge it and either praise or condemn it. Your reputation and fortune will be in his hands. He will read the books you write or sell them to the second-hand dealer. He will assume control of your cities. Somewhere now a future president is playing marbles and the most famous | actor of his day is complaining because he does not want to go to bed. Consider a boy carefully for tomor- row he may be your equal and day after | tomorrow your superior. Make a friend of the boy for you will find as you grow older that in business and public life you will come more and more in contact with those who today are “only | boys.” JAPAN RECOGNIZES CHRISTIANITY Christianity is now . recognized offi- | cially as a religion in Japan, where it en- joys a status of equality with Buddhism | and Shintoism, but there is reason to be- | lieve that the Japanese government will make all religious organizations in Japan subverse the interests of the empire. Education Minister Araki warns that | religion must increasingly become a_ ser- | vant of the State. He reasons that while religions “have hitherto had little place in regulating international relations “ of thé preVailing situations we shall make | use of them in the future.” Thus it appears that the Japanese government considers religions as possible | instruments to be used in gaining the ends sought by the government. This attitude | is somewhat similar to the idea that domi- nates several European States. It is akin to the idea that States exist for the pur. pose of propagating and advancing the | | Progress of ‘religion, THE KEY WEST CITIZEN | | & | Photo Grace Line = America, it's wool.
