BUREAUCRATIC RED TAPE THE KEY WEST CITIZEN A good idea of the extent to which Arn- | ericans are devoted to freedom may be gain ed any day, any hour, right here in th homes or on the streets in Key West. Key Westers, like all other Americans, | are for an all-out war, and stand ready to undergo inecnveniences or hardships io win the war. But don’t mention “good times” to Key Westers in trying to ease their feel- ings over the inconveniences te which they are subjected. Money can’t “cool’’ them off. rather have the conditions we had iwo years ago in Key West than those of tcday, de- said a business man to a Citizen reporter. The business man was talking abou: the endless number of questionnaires government agencies were issuing, and he firmly believed that not one-tenth of hos questions in any way promoted the war 2f fort. It was that belief that made him fume. go anything to help win the war, but he fe!t sulky and balky about doing those things the history of our country. It is that endless red tape that gets un= der the skin of every American. His cree- dom-loving spirit revolts at being vied dow. to this and tied down to that whenvhe sees no recessity of being tied down. He won’t mutter a word of complaint ifhe’s tied down tightly to help the war-effort,. but what makes him boil is the encroachment on his | libe:ty by the bureaucratic minions swaini throughout the country. A Key West woman informed The Cit- izen that one of these minions came into her home, examined the mattresses, sheets pil- low cases and springs of her beds, insisted on knowing what quality they were, and, | being unable to find any fault with chem, | told her that one doorway to a bedroom was not far enough away from a doorway another bedroom! Think of that! And all because she thought she would help the government by renting two or three of her rooms io defense workers. “Good times’ don’t placate any ¢ dom-loving Almercian for; the curbiag’ «iy curtailment ofthis liberties. a ia ' Everything to help along the war fort,.but resentment against bureaucratic 0 ‘Td fard che | He was ready and willing io under- | | green fields sw | high back to distant hills | towns approached them, that helped only to make the bundle of sed | tape larger than it has ever been before in | chat | | Carlos’ ' ON THE fa: Frisco sketched t ing while R keep the gra Hi «| witjte hig! spite the abundance of money here now,”:} story, Rita a usu ecck-eyed possibly deli found herself at Carlos’ gi Rita relaxed | points of plot structure character ok speed doing even Gradua she began to enjoy the beauty of, - their surroundin behind.

This is a tremendous acquisition of veal estate, although we should remember ihat | the states mentioned are not very large gev- graphically. Before the war is over, it 's estimated, that around 30,000,000 acres of land will be taken over for camps, bases aitfields, ranges and other war necessities. Up to this time, 121,368 iracts have been | marked out which include?12,000,000 acres | and are valued at $284,000,000. The American people now seeing ihe immense cost of building up our Ailrmy and | Navy should realize that much of this would | have been saved if we had maintained a more efficient and larger military force during the twenty years which followed the last: World War. v could have been averted, if our military forces had been kept modernized and at 2 large enough size. would have been avoided by a careful, gradual process of keeping prepared. Let‘s not forget that after this war. 12,000 ALIENS SEIZED Many acts of sabotage and espionage have been prevented by the Federal Bu- reau of Investigation arresting and iaking into custody nearly 12,000 enemy aliens | and huge quantities of contraband mate- rials during the first year of our participa- | tion in the World War. Mr. F. R. Foxworth, director of ihe FBI around New York, says that in addition to the persons arrested, 4,000 guns, 250,000 rounds of ammunition, 2,340 sticks of dyna- mite, 47 codes and ciphers, various uni- forms of enemy countries and picture 7ilms of our possessions have been seized.
