Rumors are that the Miami gangsters, | whom Westbrook Pegler, the fearless columnist, has so bitterly denounced, are stretching their tentacles southward and looking upon the Florida keys as fruitful soil for their nefarious machinations, but it should be remembered that this element cannot operate anywhere without the tacit consent of the sheriff, the prosecuting attorney and the news- papers our | The practice has become out- | successfully | ATHLETIC PROGRAM PROGRESSES Progress toward eventual construc- tion of a permanent municipal stadium and athletic field was recorded last week. City council appropriated $1,000 from the WPA sponsorship fund and earmarked it to sponsor the building of a baseball park on the grounds of the city’s incinerator plant out Flagler avenue. ‘This, small sum is sufficient to sponsor a $4,000: project under which. WPA - will undertake to enclose an area 600 feet long | and 400 feet wide and to build concrete bleachers. Because the site to be enclosed must be filled, the total cost of the project | would necessarily be higher if it were not for the fact that about 15,000 cubic yards of rock ard earth must be removed from Garrison Bight in developing that land- locked piece of water as a yacht and boat basin. before the members of the Board of Pub- lic Works and got favorable action on a propesal.to dump this fill on the site ex- | tending from Flagler avenue between | Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. Two birds are thus killed with one stone—the | excavated material from Garrison Bight had to be dumped somewhere, so why not dump it where it would serve as founda- tion fer the baseball park? Baseball enthusiasts are now. con- fronted by another serious problem; The Garrison Bight project may not. get under for several months. Until the ma- terial from the bight is dumped on the in- cinerator grounds, no baseball field will be available to the numerous civilian and vice teams in Key West. In solving the problem The Citizen | | offers this suggestion: Seek permission of the officers of Key | | West naval station to fence in and use the baseball field on the Trumbo section now | within the confines of the seaplane base. If this permission is granted, have the city | sponsor WPA purchase and erection of | fence enclosing the baseball diamond, so that the ball playing may not interfere with naval seaplane operations. Later, | | when the incinerator site is ready, move | this fence and erect it there. The fence | may be held in place on Trumbo section | by temporary bases, so that it may later be | moved and encased in concrete footings at | the incinerator site. The Citizen believes this will solve the problem of providing a baseball park until | the new municipal field is ready. The idea should be followed up as soon as possible, so that teams representing the public schools and those playing under American | Legion auspices may have use of a field, along with the leading Key West and | service teams. theory | STATE BARRIERS AND FREE TRADE Interstate trade barriers are called a | “serious threat to the economic life and business well-being of our country” by | Secretary of Commerce Harry L. Hopkins and there are many economists who agree | with his assertion. While no state is permitted to erect } tariffs against the flow of’ goods from other states, there have been developed various devices to restrict interstate com- merce. It is interesting to observe that the complaint against these barriers to trade between the States is that they tend to strangle our commercial and industrial de- velopment. Moreover, it is often asserted that the economic progress of the United States and the superior standard of living that exists in this country is due, in large degree, to the absence of such harriers in the past. + al a The United States is a large area, composed of forty-eight States, united in a free trade union. This, it is said, is a good thing for the nation. The policy of the na- tion, however, in world affairs is exactly | opposite to the domestic policy. We main- tain high tariffs that block a similar inter- change of goods with other nations. We have never been able to see why | free trade is good between forty-eight com- monwealths and evil between as many nations. If high tariffs are benefieial be- tween nations, it would seem to us that high | tariffs would be good between States. Eventually, the world will have to come to free trade if it would have peace between the peoples that compose the na- tions. Artificial obstructions to commerce retard the exchange of goods upon which economic progress depends. The diffieul- ties that bar free trade today are numerous and not to be lightly disregarded hut they {must be surmounted in time, | i — So sponsors of the baseball park went ‘THE KEY.
