UNDER ANOTHER NAME Key Westers, in talking about the ‘disestablishing” of the Naval Operating 3ase in Key West, saould be discrimina- tive. To hear some of us talk, one would think that naval activities were to be dis- continued in Key West as they were ‘in | November, 1930. . The Naval Station is in Key West, and the only thing about it that has been | changed is the name. It is no longer a Naval | Opera’ _ Base ; it is now a United States | Submarine Base. All physical assets or equipment ‘of the NOB are still in the Navy Yard. What | has happened there now» is ‘altogether. dif- férent from what’ occurred ‘in the Naval Station in November, 1930, when it was put on an inactive basis. Some of the plants in the yard were stripped at that time and shipped to Charleston and elsewhere, and the designated “inactive basis” was really a caretaking basis, for only a few men re- tained their jobs. | | We don't know to what extent the ; changing of the name of the base will affect adversely the civilian employes | there, and, so far as has been publicly an- nounced, the Navy Department has not yet decided on the curtailment, if there is to | be curtailment, of the civilian workers in | the yard. We have heard, as many other Key esters have eard, th some of the em- their, jabs-and, that others oney tham.they are now rer at report is 1oiig Hs bas Ww gy hearsay. logit A lsiwasD 218 It is of no avail;-other than to cause uneasiness, to try to anticipate what the {Navy Department will do. Like other de- partments of government, much_ time elapses in arriving at a decision, and, sometimes, when a decision is reached, several weeks pass before it is publicly an- nounced. ¥ Of one thing we are certain, the NOB, so far as its assets are concerned, is still here under another name.

The fact of the matter is that the British Empire, in its present economic weakness, will have to use artificial con- trols to keep going. What this country is anxious to establish in the world is a free economy that will promote international | trade on a multi-nation basis. In return for the loan, which will strengthen the British financial position, our English - speaking cousins agree to play ball with us in regard to the development of world trade. There is one other consideration for the loan. It concerns national defense. The British Isles are not outposts of the United States but they serve, even when th in their own selfish interest, to pro from ¢ggressor nations in Europe. S as, the, rj sb Isles maintain their strength as& ndtioh We can count on something like a buffer state between us and any ambi- tious dictators.
