Economic Highlights

When the third quarter earn
ings reports of major industrial
corporations first began appear
ing it looked as if the improve
ment in business had measured
up to the rather optimistic esti-
mates made in the spring by most
economists. Now that all the re-
ports are out, it is evident that
the Improvement even exceeded
the hopes of the most sanguine.
The National City Bank of New
York has made a survey of the
earnings of 800 important indus
trial concerns engaged in every
field of activity. These COM
panies had third quarter net
profits of $201, 900, 000-almost
double the $104,00O,000 made in
the same period last year. And
their income for the first nine
months, totaling $3.50, 100000, was
more. than SO percent better than
the 1926, 100000 earned as net in
the first three quarters of 1888.
Only two industrial groups local
mining and auto makers other
than General Motors) showed
deficits for the first nine months
this year, where nine groups re-
ported losses last year. In some
cases, improvement was almost
startling. Where. for instance,
the auto equipment people had a
deficit of $3,500,000 for the first
nine. months of last year. they
made a net of $13.258.000 this
year. And U. S. Steel turned a
$12,150,000 deficit into $12,391, :
900 profit.
There was naturally wide va
ration in the degree of improve
ment experienced by the various
industries reporting. The capital
goods industries were generally
among the leaders. Auto, air.

craft, paper, textiles and chemic-
ais were also well to the top.
Gains made by food concerns
were smaller, and oil company
profits were actually less than in
the 1888 period. The utilities, in
Guiding the railroads, power and
communication companies, i'm
proved, but more modestly by
comparison with manufacturing
industry at large.
Taking the 800 companies as a
whole, net profits were at the
annual rate of return of rs per-
cent of net worth. Nineteen
thirty-eight return was at the
rate of 81 percent.
And this isn't all there is to
the encouraging story today's
business figures are telling. The
third quarter improvement was
practically unaffected by war
buying-few concerns were able
to fulfill war orders before the
end of September, when the
quarter closed. So the univers-
ally held outlook is that the final
quarter will materially exceed
the third, in production, profits,
employment gains and every
thing else. In October, for in
stance, the Federal Reserve
Board index of industrial pro-
duction hit 120-and in booming
1929 its average was only 1913.
This doesn't mean that profits are
comparably that close to the
'29 peak-they are far from it,
due largely to lower prices and
higher wages and taxes. But
they are going UP rapidly, and
the experts seem to think they
won't be checked unless wide
spread, unlocked for labor dis
putes should occur.

speed of lightning, and made for

which he flew.

"This freedom goes to his head"
Tuck said absently.

picking up the handles of his bar
row hastily. ''The woods here is
full of 'em. 1t really amt safe to

PEOPLES FORUM
AHMrsTrcE PARADE
Editor, The Citizen:

Editor, The Citizen:
In yesterdays edition of your
paper, I saw where the Ameri-
can Legion was abiding to some
thing that I thought was settled
peaceably by all parties con-
cerned. That was primarily, the
non-attendance of Battery ''E'' of
the National Guard in the Arm
istice Day parade.
In my opinion, patriotism is
not only displayed by parading on
national holidays, but should be
displayed at all times by true
patriots. For instance, when the
National Guard was increased
from fiftyseight to eighty eight
men did the local unit of the
American Legion rush to our as
sistance in recruiting? They did
not. Thank God that this city
has sincere and true patriots,
when our country asked for re-
cruits for the various branches of
the service, during a time when
it seems as if we may be event.
ually drawn into another World
War, our young men stepped for
ward and volunteered their serv-
ices.
These same young men will
some day, perhaps, march in the
parade which will count, the pa
rade in defense of their country.
The parade which they volun-
teered to march in, and not draft
ed into. The local unit of the
American Legion is so patriotic
in the things which really do not
count. For instance, their pa
triotism is so strong, only one of
their members is a soldier in the
National Guard, another volun-
teered to enlist if he could be
made an officer.
Hoping that the American Le-
gion in our city set Battery "E'
up as an example and really
learn something about true pa
triotisn.

grassy slopes of the "Afsluit-

/ lake of the Zuider Zee--but SOL
diers in wooden shoes build bar
racks there, too, and tank traps,
barbados and barbed wire clut-
ter up both ends.
Eastward to the German from
tier, the country works lazily at
peace.
Soldiers On A Boat
Northward the road runs to
the Lauwerszee, Oostmahorn,
and tall, broad dixie. Climb
the dixie and the North sea
sparkles, blue and dangerous. A
clean little boat goes, some days,
to the island of Schiermonnikoog,
where the plain folk have seen
the smoke of bombs and gunfire
from a far-off battle between
British and German men o'war
and planes.
There are soldiers now on the
Schiermonnikoog boat, just as
there are Dutch pilots sitting at
quiet little airdomes on the
northeastern frontier.
They are there to keep Hol-
land neutral.
If the invader comes in from
the east it will be lost country.
Once the "Afsluit- Dix" already
mined, is blown up, the waters
of the Zuider Zee will cut that
section off from the populous
west. Southwark the long plan

To Market
All the way from the North
sea to the tip of the dangling and
hilly province of Limburg, the
strategy is to delay and trap the
invader in the east, while the
west fights back with a barrier
of flood water bolstered by more
than 100000 modified men and
their modern guns.
! But on these crisp fall Satur-
day nights, people mill around
market stalls that groan with
Hollands great purple grapes and
incredible chrysanthemums, and
the talk is not of war.

NOW UP 70 COUNCIL

Editor, The Citizen:
In Wednesdays letter to The
Citizen implied that Myrtland
Gates had been dropped from the
police force for political reasons.
/ have since been informed from
City Hall sources that officer
Gates was not re-appointed be-
cause he had applied for posi-
ton only as special officer in
charge of the School Patrol. AS
this position requires the author
ization of the council, the mayor
states that he is waiting for the
council to act before appointing
Gates.
My letter was inspired in part
by an article that appeared in
the Miami Herald of Nov. 10,
written by the Herald's Key West
correspondent who was also
president of the last city council,
which states as follows:
"You can look for shakeup in
the police department. This is a
certainty. Mayor Willard M. AL
bury has full power in making
appointments. He knows that
some of the men who owe their
jobs on the police force to him
were not loyal to him during the
recent city election and he will
remember them Monday when
making appointments"
Key Westers viii be glad to
learn that the above writer ap-
pears to be in error and that
Mayor A1bury, according to the
information from City Hall,
makes his appointments on the
basis of ability and not politics.
That principle is greatly to the
advantage of the city and will
undoubtedly put Myrtland Gates
back on the School Patrol-pro-
viding the council can find the
means.
Sincerely,
II. p. CONNABLE.
