While the House of representatives |; has approved an appropriation of only $5,000,000 to aid in postwar work, the senate favors a much larger amount, and it is thought that after a conference of senate and house conferees on the measure, the amount will be approximately $35,- 000,000. What will be Key West’s share of that sum, there is no way of telling at this time. The money will be divided among small | and medium-sized cities, and, together with | | other projects, will provide work for tens ; of thousands of men throughout the coun- try. The fact is that, after a survey, $11,- 000,000,000 has been authorized for post- ) war projects, though plans, thus far, have | | been completed for only a little more than | $1,000,000,000. Locally, that type of work will be of | great importance, because, after the war, | we will have no industries, except spong- | ig and fishing, to which to turn for in- | ome, Some of the matters that were dis- war ple — board,.only to let it die aborn- | ingy co ak wharf at the northern end of Simo treet, with a warehouse on each side of it, and several proposed im- provements along the south shore. The Citizen trusts that the amount Key West will receive will be sufficient to do some of that work. City officials, as soon as it is determined what amount will be ap- propriated, should contact the Federal Works Agency with a view to learning the work to be done locally. A “tie-in” salé is the required pur- chase of an article that is not desired at the time in order to obtain a commodity}: writer is unaware if that is scarce. T such practice obtains in Key ‘West. ARMY NEEDS MORE NURSES Major General Norman T. Kirk, Army Surgeon General, denies that our wounded men lack the “care they deserve” but he is careful to point out that it is only because heroic nurses and doctors work long hours to take care of the men. The General says ‘that expectation of a nurses’ draft law has caused a decline in the number of nurses voluntarily enlisting. As of March 3rd the Army had 46,500 of the 60,000 nurses it wants by June Ist and he thinks that the urgency of the situation prevents waiting for passage of the measure. \ He calls for a vigorous prosecution of the voluntary nurse recruiting program. We doubt if there is anybody who cares to dispute the conclusions of the War Depart- | ment, especially among those who have | loved ones on the fighting fronts. Conse- quently, there must be some explanation of the amazing fact that American women have not voltinteered in suffi¢gient numbers togive the Army the nurses that it requires. We.are still waiting for the women of the nation, who got the’ vote séme years ago, to clean up politics THE MESS IN CHINA One does not need to think back more than a year or two to recall how enthusi- asm about China mounted.

To a without military knowledge or re- ' ifity, the land invasion of Japan hould mot be undertaken until after Ger- feated and then the United and and Russia should give | j tarts the works. countrymen to do their part in winding up the Japanese. President Roosevelt tried to bolster the head man of China by sending over Henry Wallace, Donald Nelson, Gen- eral Hurley and other big shots to make | new charts. The latest line on China indicates that the country has developed only a half- hearted war spirit; that the country is lack- ing in supplies; it harbors petty grafters among its officials. Chiang personally re- mains loyal to the Allies, but he fights Communism in his own country so vigor- ously that Russia has lost interest in Chinz That isn’t so good, either, at this particular time when we are making progress with Stalin in our efforts to get him to declare 8 war against Japan. > China isn’t the only nation falling be- hind.
