LINDBERGH'S WARNING

Had Charles A. Lndbergh deliberately set out to shock his fellow-men into a realization of the they preparing for themselves and their children he could not have chosen occasion better suited to his purpose than recently in Berlin. Breaking his long silence public questions, he dramatically warned his hosts and the of the world of the potential de- structiveness of military aviation. After compliment ing Germany it's outstanding progress in civil ava tlon, he declared to gathering of the nations finest air that Unlike the builders of the first dugout oe avators have lived to see their harmless wings of fabric turned into carriers of destruction dangerous than the guns of battleShip Aviation has abolished what call defensive wafare,' so that "it is longer possible to shield the heart of country with it's army"
 He was, it must be assumed, speaking only for him self as individual and not in representative capa- city Yet to speak with such drectness in the heart of Nazi Germany-fevershly re-arming on land and sea and threatening become dominant in the ar-was to give added significance to his words And to express these views after soourn in Great Brtain-whence he had just flown and where he had been in consulta tion with the British authorities who strainng cry resource to build up air fleet to match pass the strongest air force the Contnent-was to elevate his address to the level of event of cardinal importance.
 In contrast with many scientists who dsclaim any responsibility for the social consequences of their dis coverieS Lindbergh appealed directly to his fellows:
 We who are in aviation carry heavy responsi- bility on shoulders, for while have been draw ing the world closer together in peace have stripped the armor from every nation in war"
 There are, of course, experts who will not share Lindberghs judgment about the destuctve power of aviation military weapon, but most and wo- will be inclined to feel that there is other pert either in aviation for that matter in diplomacy who is likely to be the truth than he when he concluded: We must look for type of security,

THOUGHTS ON MEMORIAL DAY

Once again, in the course of time, the
nation pauses for day, set apart in the
honor of and to commemorate, the brave
sons of this republic who have, in the past,
sacrificed their lives on the altar of liberty.
1t would be tragic indeed if those of
us now living, who have enjoyed the bles
sings of great nation, should forget the
supreme service that has been rendered,
and allow the dead past to bury glorious
herOism and noble patriotism. 49, ~
The blind worship of war, now grad
ually being discarded, should not be con-
fused with the proper recognition of duty
well performed, or hinder a grateful peo-
pie il paying homage to those who res
pended in the hour of national peril. What
ever may be our idea about the abolition
of war the men who gave themselves to
meet dangerous emergencies deserve the
appreciation of their pOsterity.
The Citizen joins with its readers in
calling attention to the purpose of Me
mortal Day and gladly halts in its labor to
direct public attention to the virtue and
valor of American soldiers, sailors and
marines. May those of us. now living in
peace, practice in daily life the same
patriotic impulses which moved them and
unselfishly give ourselves to the service of
our state and nation, to the end that this
republic shall well and truly be, "of the
people, by the people and for the people"
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1936-05-30

the eight-year period being approxi-
mately two billion dollars. This Pc
rlod during which net income was
withheld from stockholders, and re-
invested in the business or used to
build up working capital. was a Pc
Rod of great prosperity.
The same statistics show, however,
that during every year from 1929 to
1888 (the last year for which the off,
cial figures are available) the sum
paid in dividends exceeded the net
income. The average annual excess
for the four depression years was
more than six billion dollars. In other
words. taking the last business cycle
instead OF single years. we find that
the dividends paid out were actually
in excess of net income.
The question thus becomes: is il
better for corporations to distribute
all of their net income in the good
years. or to withhold some of il in
prosperous years so that they can pur-
sue a more generous dividend and
employment policy in the poor years?
Can there be any doubt as to the
correct answer? The policy of with
holding a portion of the net income
in prosperous years enables corpora
tons to build up reserves against the
lean years of the future. and the
availability of these reserves in the
lean years helps to moderate the Sc
verify of the depression.
Bad as the recent depression was,
it would have been much worse had
not innumerable corporations built
up substantial reserves during the
