The New England visitor tore across in front of us at the rate of about 40 per and our front fend- ers are still shivering from the thought. The city government is, we will grant, making an effort—slow but sure—to paint stop signs at the more important intersec- tions. About two are being painted each week. With more and more foreign cars coming into town every day and with the winter si Key West shoul id NOW have every cross street plainly marked. It would avoid accidents—acci- dents that are happening almost daily—and tremendous general Duval street is no stop sign indicating that ent of the son, it would obviate a garage bill. This situation has been called to The Citizen’s attention by a city policeman whose name we prefer not to divulge at this The officer knows what he is talking Every day it is his business to try to accidents. Maybe it would take ten dollars worth nt to remedy the entire situation; to indicate plainly the which torist is to stop for passing traffic.

Leahy, retired, to be ambassador to the Petain government of France, after some months of service as governor of Puerto I Because of the fact that the Petain government is really a sort of puppet regime controlled by Hitler, the post of ambassador to that country is one of extreme difficulty. In fact, some believe the present so-called government of France is hardly worthy of recognition at all, However, inasmuch as Hitler and Tetain are willing to accept Admiral Leahy 2ntative of the United States, he may be able to keep the President and State informed of actual conditions in France. This service will no doubt be beneficial to this country, and possibly to the people of France as well. Admiral Leahy is conceded to be one of the best possible choices for his new post, which was offered to General Pershing, who was forced to decline it because of poor health. Before his retirement from active service, Admiral Leahy had served as chief of naval operations, the highest ranking porition in the United States Navy, after holding many other important assignments, both atloat and ashore. He is a veteran of the Spanish-Amer- ican War, the Philippine insvrrection, the Boxer campaign in China, the Nicaraguan eccupation, the Haitian campaign and the Werld War, besides serving in other expedi- tions of minor importance. as a repre: Department Admiral Leahy was born in Hampton, | Towa Academy , and was graduated from the Naval in 1897. He is now 65 years of age. ENDING THE FOOD PLAN Great Britain's announcement that the will not be lifted to permit the passage of food from the United States to t ons of Europe lying under Nazi was followed by the abandon- ne plantomake such shipments, at least so far as the Committee on Food for the Five Small Democracies is concerned. We think the committee, to which Former President Herbert Hoover belongs, has acted wisely. Certainly the great ma- jority of the people of this country agree with the British contention that such ship- ments will materially relieve Germany of bligations that she has assumed, thus rengthening the German war machine. The British pointed out that there was nothing in the Nazi record to indicate that any of its guarantees that food imports 1ld not be confiscated could be trusted. Declaring that the British are themselves risking starvation inthe present struggle the British point out that Germany, havi eized these countries and appropriated t supplies, is solely responsible for the feeding of the people. blockade tion ment of THE KEY WEST CITIZEN FISHING SHIP BECINS EXCURSIONS TODAY New Special Delivery Eee U.
