Miami that Senatorial C anididate Coe paraphrased a truism in his speech Wednesday night at , Bayview Park that was printed in this column at the time the naval activities were inaugurated when he said: “Hitler and not your senators is responsible for the airbase being in Key West.” An official of the British National Labor organization blames the European conflict on the isolationism of Americans. In other words when the European nations start squabbling, the United States should inter‘ere and presumably get the same dose handed out to us the last time < With WAR making Florida a favored child in Washington these days, chances of a favoring report are excellent.

What the Navy wants the Navy gets. remember this when they write | | KEEP OUR PUBLIC LANDS Monroe County Planning Council has added the weight of its influence back of the movement to prevent the loss of pub- ' lie lands adjacent to Overseas Highway to to exploit scenic and natural values that belong to | the ¢ T | commercial interests seeking | 1eral public. » council has record as protesting the iease or sale of any of the submerged lands, fills or open waters abut- ting the highway between the Monroe County line on the mainland to Key West. | The protest has been filed with the Florida | Internal Improvement Board which holds | title to these properties for all of the citi- zens of this state. Some time ago The Citizen called at- tention to the fact that squatters have boldly and seemingly without any official permission settled on some of the state- owned property and lrave erected a num- ber of unsightly commercial structures | along that historical stretch of highway | between the two Matecumbes. These | structures desecrate property on which a | tragic chapter of the history of Monroe county was written during the hurricane of | 1935. “Our Monroe County Commissioners | have slready protested to your board and | to this we wish to add our voices and urge you to help us preserve the natural beauty of our Overseas Highway and eject these persors by proper process of law under the gone on authority of your board’, the Monroe Plan- | ning Council declares in appealing to the Florida Internal Improvement Board in this matter. Frem all that The Citizen has been | able to learn, the squatters along the high- way squatted because some politicians at | T Tallahassee gave them that permission, It | was an off-the-record grant by some | politically-minded public officials who | have no legal or moral right to give away | the rights of the general public in such | public lands and waters. The citizens of Monroe County and | Key West will be glad to know that the | County Commission and the Planning | Council have protested this illegal and | harmful gift of public property to private individuals. They will be grateful and | more plee ment Board acts to eject the squatters and | to prevent similar squatting in the future. A NEW WORLD AHEAD What type of economic system will dominate the commerce of the world when the fighting ends? The questicn is getting some attention | from officials who have to think about the future as they meet the problems of the present. If Germany wins, it is plain that there will be a few self-sufficient units. Ger- meny will dominate Europe, Russia will cortrol an immense area and Japan will boss the Far East. In the Western Hemis- | phere the United States will be in a posi- | tion of dcminance in the Americas. How the economic blocs will trade with each other is unknewn except on a limited scale, probably based on bartering | arrangements. Whether they will trade | with each other is doubtful, particularly | if the blocs continue their rivalry to achieve greater domination of neighboring areas. SHOULD SPREAD ALL OVER STATE (The Tampa Times) All Floridians\can get valuable inspiration from the fact that thousands of crippled children | have more hope for the future because of the cur- rent drive of the South Florida Crippled Chil- dren's Society to raise funds for a new hospital in Dade county where more of these pitiful cases can be treated and more boys and girls can be re- stored to normal activity.
