Dr. Manfred Zapp, editor of Transocean News, was the sap at the head of this particular work, propaganda Personally, we like the United States of America, very much and prefer to live as an American citizen, but if the day ever comes that sees Adolf Hitler or some of his American stooges controlling the destinies of this Republic, it will be the time for us to move on and, believe us, we will move, though we do not believe that this wil! ever come to pass, A SUGGESTION TO THE NAVY | the importance to this community of Naval | activities and no one can imagine that Key | West falls short, not only in the matter of | fare and defense of our country.

The housing situation in Key West has already reached the point of 100 per cent saturation. Finding a place in which to live, has become a distressing problem to many of our citizens. That this condition would be greatly intensified by the loss homes in which 200 families now shelter, can readily be understood. If this were the only land available, we. .would of gency, at whatever cost. But the Government has much vacant | land in Key West which could be used with- | from which the city derives the rewenue ly the ease with land now in the possession of the U. S. Army. j We respectfully submit for the consi- deration of Naval facilities that the pos- sibilities of putting this vacant land to use, be weighed carefully against the hardships that would result if the residents of the five squares surrounding the court house are obliged to pull up stakes and seek for new quarters where no quarters now exist. there would be no voice raised against the Navy acquiring this land for the purpose of meeting its necessities. But; we believe that there is at least ground for stopping to on 200 families; and the fact that there is vacant land that can be utilized without hardship to anyone and without further de- roll, And to the authorities, we commend a careful consideration of these facts.

Eventually, the county is going to find it necessary to build a hospital. And they | might as well start thinking about it now. County Health Officer Dr. Parramore listed a hospital for consideration as a de- fense project, which it obviously is, but de- fense or no, the county needs and should | W8E a Hospital.
