Supreme court had put the final stamp | possible by a long string of minor achieve | ments, so long a string, im fact, that the | average citizen long since had lost track of the intricate maneuvers. i Delay had followed delay. ; Finally, however, Circuit Court Judge | Arthur Gomez had signed an order approv- | | ing validation of the water bonds and only © | the supreme court hurdle was left. Ac- | tually it wasn’t much of a hurdle, because . | the court action was understood to be more | or less a formality, but it was enough of a “| hurdie to arouse a doubt as to whether there | might not be another setback. | Then Rep. Bernie C. Papy, who fa- ' thered the aqueduct commission, informed | commission member William T. Doughiry Thursday that the fmal jump was cleared. And go, Key West will get fresh water | —3,000,000 gallons of it-a day for the city ; { and the navy station, flowing through the | world’ 3 longest non-gravity aqueduct. The} i uncertain sanitation of shallow wells andi | cisterns is on the way out and the water | is on the way in. To the men who made that possible, | Key West owes a debt of gratitude. INDO-CHINA A TRAP FOR JAPAN? i The Japanese press is now talking | about an overland expedition, operating | from Indo-China, to cut the Burma route. | This would be a major military opera- | tion and if Japan is foolish enough to | initiate the attack there will be little dis- | May in the ranks of the strategists who | have to plan counter-moves. The Indo-Chima area is about 2,000 miles from Japan proper anda large ex- | peditionary force would need the support of \a large fleet of supply ships. These would | | be operating far from home bases and vaul-‘ jucrable to aerial and submarine attack | from three sides. i The latest navai plans, in the event-of | war in the Far East, according to Hallett | Abend, former New York Times corre- spondent, is to use submarines, light craft and airplanes to attack the Japanese fleet | in narrow waters, such as exist on the route | self. between Japan and Indo China. Mr. Abend, in a recent magazine ar- : ticle, gives an interesting explanation of the | motives that led the Germans to send the | battleship Bismarck into the Atlantic, where she was destroyed by the British, after sinking the huge Hood. He says that j to Japan, where her presence was expected to bolster | Japanese morale and lead the empire into decisive action. RFC MAKES A PROFIT Last February the State of Arkansas | was experiencing some difficulty in satis- ; factorily disposing of highway bonds in the | ' amount of $136,330,557. The market, as the financiers would say, was listless. The RFC stepped into the picture and | bought the entire issue. It has now dis- 909 worth, at profit of $3,399,295, which is enough to interest an expert financier. The RFC has duplicated, in connection with these bonds, its record with other bond issues. The interesting phase of the vari- ous transactions is that the profits have been taken from the people who could have bought the bonds im the first place. ANOTHER “NEW” WEAPON The British have a new sea weapon, atch, recently received from London, vhich adds that “most higher-ups” deny | | knowing about it. A foreign report asserted that the " | British are filling depth charges with an ex- | plosive forty-seven times more powerful ‘than TNT. This also has not been con-| | firmed by the British. | We are a bit wary of secret weapons, | of which there was much talk im the World | | Warot 1924-1918.
