A SOCIALIST RULES FRANCE

Leon Blum, the Socialist, took office
last week as Premier of France. SO fa':
the French Republic still stands and ap-
parently, the end is not yet in sight.
Undoubtedly, Mr.. Blum's Govern
ment faces extremely difficult problems
and intends to attack them vigorously.
Just how he is going to satisfy the various
classes which compose his majority in Par
lament is the subject of much speculation.
The new Premier promises legislative
action to deal with political amnesty; a
forty-hour week; collective contracts; pay
holidays; large public works program
for improved economic, sanitary, scien-
tific, sports and tourist equipment: ma
tlOnalizatlOn of the manufacture of arms
of war; creation of wheat board, with
other agricultural boards to come; extern
sion of school age; reform of the Bank of
France; and a revision of the laws in favor
of public servants and war veterans.
Shortly afterwards, he promises to
initiate a second series of bills concerning
national funds for unemployment: insur-
ance against agricultural caIamities: man.
agement of the agricultural debt system;
pensions for aged worker In the cities and
country; and simplific alton of fiscal and
relief affairs to be financed by revenues
''Out of the accumulated fortunes of re-
preston and fraud 49, sEgwExe
Apparently, the new French Premier
has a great deal of work to do.

END OF SCHOOL MEANS BEGINNING

Schools all over the United States
have recently ended their sessions. Every
city, including Key West is sending forth
from school scores of young men and wOm-
Ell, many of whom have received their
last formal scholastic training.
To the graduates of the schools in this
city who will continue their studies in
college the closing of school is not as i'm
portant an event in life as to the larger
number who will begin to work, leaving
behind them the organized paths to
knowledge.
1t is important, however, as we see it,
that these high school graduates, who
have no hope of college, get the right idea
of their own future. There is no reason
for them to believe that what is popularity
called education depends upon going to
college. There is no reason for them to
believe that their learning" days are
over.
Some of the best educated men and
women that we have ever met were those
who went to no college, and many even
missed high school. Besides, we must
remember, that a student only gets out of
school a measure of what the students
character contributes This being So and
no one disputes it, the nOn-college man or
woman, busy through life can continue to
acquire intelligent aids to full living by
maintaining an acquisitive and Investigate
ing mind.
Let us all realize more fully than
ever, that we know very little While
mankind has made wonderful progress
along the path of human intelligence the
field of wisdom has been barely scratched
and many things remain to be unfolded to
the human intellect Let us always con-
tinue to pursue the truth

The destruction of small business
by big business seems so evident to
the politician and the sentimental re-
former that proof is not considered
necessary. The theory is that men of
small means are forced by changed
conditions TO become mere cogs in a
great machine, the unwilling SER
wants of all powerful masters. This
theory based on an unsupported as
sumption is the chief source of the
stupid prejudice against large enter
priSeS.
When we turn from this gloomy,
pessimistic picture and open our eyes
to the real facts of our industrial life,
we find no foundation for this myth.
1t hovers over Washington, however.
and is the chief source of inspira-
ton TO those who would destroy the
American system of industrial free
dom.
In 1929 there were in operation in
this country 21O.959 factories of all
types. The size of factory is very
accurately measured by the number
of wage earners employed. The num-
Der of wage earnerS also indicates
the extent and type of machinery
and the output of small factories
rarely justifies the use of costly ma
chinery. The large use of costly ma
chinery is profitable only in mass
production.
In 1929:
1925 factories had no employ
eeS at all. The proprietOrs did all
the work. just as their ancestors
had done long before there was
even a dream of the industrial
revolution.
95.767 factories employed from
one to five employees. The aver
age number of employees in these
factories was a fraction less than
three.
53.524 factories employed from
six TO twenty employees. The av-
erage was less than twelve.
L..
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-06-16

25.524 factories employed from
twenty-one to fifty employees.
The average was less than thirty
four.
12.467 factories employed from
fifty-one to one hundred en-
ployees. The average was less
than seventy-two.
279,734 wage earners were en-
ployed in factories that worked
from one to five employees.
95,708 wage earners were en-
ployed in factories that worked
from six to twenty employees.
814,405 wage earners were en-
ployed in factories that worked
from twenty-one to fifty en-
ployees and
891. ST. wage carriers were en-
ployed in factories that worked
from fifty-one to one hundred
employees.
In 1929. 1881. 5l8 wage earners or
more than one-fourth of all the wage
earners in all factories were en-
ployed in small factories. The num-
Der of employees in l74,3l3 of the
2l0,959 factories in the whole coun-
try ranged from one TO fifty.
Small factories. it would seem. are
increasing rapidly. under the decen-
Trailing influence of the electric
gasoline industrial revolution.
In 1925 the total number of fac
tories for the whole country was 49,
800. In 1927, the number had in
creased to 1871 1866. and in 1929 the
number had increased to 2lO.959.
This was an increase of over 5000 fac
tories year for four years.
The average number of employees
in all factories in 1925 was 44.7. In
1929, the average number had fallen
to ALL.
With constitutional protection to
business made secure, the opportuni-
ties for men of characte- and ability
with small capital 10 60 into the man
ufacturing business for themselves
were. perhaps. never before so good.
In many ways the small factory,
under present day conditions, has a
decided advantage over the big fac
tory. The rapid development of small
factories in the small towns and ru-
raj sections of the South and West
from 1920 to 1929 is positive proof
that the new industrial conditions
are decidedly favorable to industries
of this type.
The depression arrested this devel-
opment temporarily. The great move
ment is now ready to begin on
much larger scale. and it has been
ready for some time. Unwarranted
political restrictions on business in
general. and hazardous uncertainty
created by political attacks on the
very foundation of constitutional pro-
lection. constitutes the great obstruc-
ton to this forward movement today.
