Straight talk is what the world needs, but one can talk straight with a smile in- stead of a frown and there is a difference.

What will follow in the wake is also to be considered very seriously. When the late Guglielmo Marconi, in- Yentor of the wireless, bade his wife and daughter “addio” as they left for a short | yacation, he wept, and later told his chauf- feur that in old age men become like chil- dren. In this connection, we are re- minded that A. B. See, a prominent Amer- itan anti-feminist, gave a dinner to 15} leading New York women, though in} earlier years he had referred in his writ. ings “to the brazen influenze of women | who demanded equal rights for an inferior | sex.”” But at 70 the sour See is beginning | te fee! mellow, like most oldsters. i ‘they are driving automobiles there would | | Tokyo, and Washington would be inform- _a short flight. her first since ‘ the REMAIN AGHAST AND LIVE The average citizen of Key West, when stopping long enough to think about the matter, is literally aghast at the num- | ber of people killed every year in this) country by motor vehicle accidents. ; _ The same brother or sister, however, | when behind the steering wheel of an automobile, is no longer aghast. In fact, | there is no time to think, because for some | reason it is very important to get wherever | it is in a hurry. Occasionally, it happens that an acci- those already dead and the injured pas- | sengers have time for a few weeks’ reflec- | tion in the hospital. Here, once more, } they are aghast. If we could just figure out some} method of making people aghast while | be fewer victims and more safety on the highways. WHEN AND AN IF When Japan has difficulty in North China her foreign office says it is a local matter and that Nanking must have noth- ing to do with the settlement of the is- sue. If Japan was strong enough, or if the United States was as weak as China, the ban that the Pacific coast States have placed upon immigration would be a local matter, to be settled between them and ed that it had nothing to do with the is- sue. SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DA!.NALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Senator Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, speaking on the Farm and Home program recently, made a blistering attack on waste of th¢ taxpayers’ money by the Re- settlement Administration. At the close of his address the Army Band appropriate- ly played the “Jolly Robbers” overture. The parcel post service was estab- lished in the United States in 1913, and rapidly’ gained’ popular favor. It ‘now delivers packages to ‘almost any place in the country, unless objections are made by the C. I. O. During June treasury reports show that 7,697,217 gallons of whisky were dis- tilled in Kentucky, which was nearly one- half of the nation’s production. Illinois, | Indiana and Maryland distilled most of the remainder of the month’s lawful output. Moonshine is still available in some sec- tions at $2 to/$3 a gallon. Katherine Stinson, the first woman sky-writer, who was the leading American woman aviator 20 years ago, knew when to quit. She is Mrs. Otero now and lives | quietly in New Mexico. Recently making World War, she said: “I certainly felt foolish; | he plane flew itself.” | Timely comment on vacations by the Louisville Times: Vacation is whén you spend the two weeks you have, and the money you can borrow, for an experience of higher life than you can afford. For 1936 the steel industry paid $105,- 850,000 in taxes, which was equal to $169 | for every worker on its payrolls for the year. In 1937 both the industry and its; workers will have te reckon with enor- mous strike losses as well as taxes. Reno Palmer of Kensington, Md., is a} volunteer fireman and likes it too well.

Dry as dust! Arid as the Mojave des- ert! But look at this little bro- chure The Thirty Hour Week.’ by my honorable friend, William Green, who has prophesied unto the dry bones, put flesh on them, so to speak, and made them live. Now you are interested, Sandie, for 1 see your mouth water. “Aweel! Mr. Green is showing the relation of these figures to the men and women employed in manufactur- ing in our country, many of whom have children to support and wee doggies like you to feed, and he says ‘ that in the year 1929 they received in wages only 16.5' per cent of the ‘value produced, the’inference being that they should have received more. And then, knowing full well that these figures have no meaning at all unless one subtracts’ from *the so- called ‘value produced’ the cost of the raw materials ~ the value of wheat from the value of flour, for example—he admits that in the same yeer the wage-earners received 36.4 than ‘value added. When, therefore, we do this little sum in subtraction we find to our surprise that the share of the employees in wages and sal- aries is more than twice the per- centage indicated by Mr. Green. “Look now, Sandie, at this other book, ‘National Income in the United States,’ 1929-35, recently published by the Department of Commerce, wherein you will see that in the year 1929 the net income produced in man- ufacturing was $19,307,554,000, of which the employees received in wages and salaries $14,849,695,000, or ‘77 per cent. Unfortunately for all con- cerned, the income produced in the lean year 1933 was much less, being only $7,796.626,000, but of that amount the Me es received no less than $7.163,117,000, or more than 91 per cent, while the owners and creditors received the remaining . or less than 9 per cent. To: be sure, they received an additional sum of $718,658, but that was paid out of the surpluses saved during “the good years. This, Sandie, is a true picture of the situation, and very different, as you can see, from that presented by Mr. Green. “For all of that, Sandie, 1 have a high regard for Mr. Green who, as per cent of the ‘value added, whiley President of the American Federa- deploring the fact that in the year of depression 1933 they received only 30.8 per cent of that value, as though they were being defrauded of their fair share of the joint product by the greedy employers. “Perplexing. is it not, this lingo, of ‘value ‘produced’ and ‘value added’? But you must-get it into your little mind, Sandie, if you want to under- stand what I am going to add by way of one more thought. “Now 1 will tell you, Sandie, that tion of Labor, and no statistician, naturally looks at such figures through beclouded eyes. Moreover, 1 will guess that the brochure in ques- tion was not written by him, but by his ghost-writer who should have known better. Let us hope that Mr. Green will set his ghost-writer right as soon as possible that he may prophesy upon the dry-bones of dusty figures and make them live and glow with the spirit and flesh of truth. Stand by me, Sandie McGraw!” (Address questions to the author care of this newspaper) THE WEATHER Temperatures* Highest 90 Lowest’ . Mean - Normal, Mean.
