Advice to the Lo' eIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax

Don't HeSitate-Dive Right In
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm a boy nearly II and seem
to be very bashful when in COM
pany with girls. I go to high
school and have met a girl
about my own age who inter-
estS me very much. I became
acquainted with her and called
her up on the telephone and
talked to her quite some time,
and found her to be a very nice
girl. I told her I'd see her the
next day in school and we
would continue our converse
ton, but the next day I passed
the girl as if I had never seen
her before. Really, I'd like to
get acquainted with this girl
you know, just a plain friend.
ship-but don't know how to
do it. Don't you think it's just
bashfulness? K. P.
That's all it is, K. P.-one of
those little complexes that cause
so many lonely hours. And the
worst part of it is, if you don't
conquer it while you are young,
it may spoil much happiness.
And it's so easy to snap out of
bashfulness. All you have to
do is to have a straight heart
to-heart" talk with yourself and
say that the next time you
meet this young lady you are
going straight up to her, with
a confident smile, and say
you've been hoping to see her
again-how did she come out
in her exams, etc. Then the
ice will be broken and you may
suggest a movie, or to take
her to some school social or
game. Best Of luck to you.
Regards Him as a Boy
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I love a young widow more
than anything in the world,
yet she does not seem to care
for me-thinks I am too young.
I am as old as she is, although

The Charlotte News
Asks Some Questions
Apropos of Virginius Dabney's Re-
marks about BigOtry

In his book, Liberalism IN the
South. recently published by the
University Of North Carolina
Press, Eirginius Dabney recalls
that a committee was formed in
Charlotte, few years ago, to
support an anti-eVOlution bill in
the legislature. He says that
the selection Of Charlotte for the
committee headquarters was a
wise one, "since bigotfy -four
ishes there more abundantly,
perhaps, than in any community
Of like size between the Potomac
and the Rio Grande."
WAS this simply an isolated
instance Of bigotry on the part
of Charlotte?" asks the Char
lotte Ne1rs. cor was it indicative
of d certain attitude on the part
of this city?
What might Mr.. Dabney or
other libegaIs have said Of Char
lotte in connection with the reli-
gious aspects Of the 1923 poll
teal campaign?
cor in connection with the
celebrated trial Of the seven
communists involved in the Cas-
tonia strike trial?
cor in connection with the at
tack made some years ago by the
local ministerial association
against the dramas produced by
the Carolina Playmakers?
or in connection with the Ia
tum petition which was bolster
ed up by more Charlotte sigma
lures than any other?
cor .h connection with the re-
cent fulminations from this city
against such speakers as Nor
man Thomas, Bertrand Russell
and Langston Hughes appearing
at state-supported schools?
"Or in connection with the
abortive attempt to prevent all
Sunday golf and tennis?
Does bigotry flourish or has
lit been conquered? You write
the answer"

Trade with Russia

The American wheat growers

wheat they can't sell for the cost
of production, while in Russia,
yes Red" Russia, the land of
the famed five-year plan, count
less millions of people are suffer
ing from the lack of bread Rus
sia has money with which to
buy our surplus grain and per
hapS the will to do 50, but be-
cause the Russian people had
the nerve and daring to start
new experiment in government
those in power at Washington
have decreed that the United
States shall not welcome Rus
sia into the family of nations
because Russia does not have
the kind Of government she
ought to have. A communist
government would not suit us
in America, but if the Russian
people want a communiStlc gov
ernment what business is it of
ours? There was a time when
England did not want us to
have the type of government
we now have.
We don't like the kind Of
government they have in Russia
but Russian people need our
wheat and our farmers need the
price it would bring. Why
shouldn't the two countries for
get about this matter Of types
of government and do business? =?
There is no good reason why it
should not be done, but we go
on prattling about this mlscon-
ceived notion of ours that it is
wrong to deal with a government
run by communists, when we
might just as sensibly get

The South Carolina command
er Of the American Legion. who.
like AL the other Legion spokes-
men, champions the govern
ment's present lavish outlays
for veterans, severely criticizes
General Pershing for opposing
these outIays He says that the
general "sits back" with a
large salary and seeks to de
prive "the boys who went over
the top Of their compensation
and disability allowances.
This is the familiar misrep-
resentation Of the motives Of
those citizens who want to intro
duce reason and decency into the
governments treatment Of its
ex-soldiers, Nobody wants the
government to be other than
generous to the widows and or
phans Of the men who were
killed in war and to the men
who suffer from wounds or i'll
ness received in the service. The
protest Is against the disburse-
ment Of hundreds Of millions Of
dollars year to men who did
not suffer any physical hurt,
either wounds or illness, from
their military service. It is
scandalous that the federal
treasury should be raided for
their benefit.
Not only is this an injustice
upon the taxpayers; it is an IN
justice upon the veterans and
the veterans dependents who
really deserve and really need
help. These are penaliZed by
the diversion Of public money in
vast amounts to men who have
no valid claim upon the govern
ment bounty. Many a soldiers
widow, with children to support,
is getting paltry allowance Of
thirty-five or forty dollars a
while many an able-bodled
man, whose ability to earn a
living has not been at all affect
ed as result of his war ser
vice, is getting as much or more.
If the American Legion and
other veterans organizations
must exert pressure upon Cong
ress. it would be we'll for them
to exert it on behalf of the gen
uine victims of the war and
quit crying for handouts to men
who do not deserve govern
ment aid.

The War Debts


war debts to the United States
the fact that strikes US most
forcibly is the frank confession,
on the part Of persons who have
positive ideas on other govern
mental problems. that they are
all in a muddle about this. one
And when we say this We have
in mind not the untutored and
thoughtless masses, but educat-
ed men and women who take a
deep interest in public affairs
and are constantly seeking en-
lightenment by reading books
and magazines and newspapers
and by listening to the so-called
best authorities VINO talk from
the platform or over the radio.
Your friend who is d lawyer
or a physician or d business man
or college professor will tell
you, right off the bat. what hc
thinks about Prohibition, or I'M
migration, or even such com
plex subjects a. the tariff and
the currency. but he will throw
up his hands in despair when
YOU ask him what about the
war debts. In these days about
the onl y conviction you find held
with any degree Of unanimity IS
that the politicians in Congress
are unfit to grapple with the
problem and that they had bet
ter turn it over to q group Of
the most competent men they
can get together and let this
group decide the governments
policy,
We believe that if the best IN
formed people in the country
say, the million highest up IN
the scale Of education and
thoughtfulness-could be polled,
a majority Of them would say
that, as a matter Of justice,
there is no good reason why the
debts should be Cancelled. But
the argument has ceased to be
one in which the ethical point
is the most important. The
basis upon which the policy Of
our government should be de
termined is the basis Of eXpedl-
ency. The answer to be sought
is not what the United States
has a right to demand but what
is the most practical thing tor
the United States to do IN the
light of economic conditions
throughout the world.
AS to the Europeans capacity
to pay. there is wide divergence
of opinion; or, perhaps 1t would
be more accurate to say, a WIDE
range of guesSes, since few per
sons know enough about this to
have what may be properly call
ed an opinion. But there IS a
well nigh universal belief that,
whether the European debtors
are able to pay or not, they are
not going to pay; that IS, not
the whole face value of the
debts. This belief, which is be-
coming steadily stronger, leads
many man in the street to
say: "Well, since were not go
ing to collect anyhow, we had
better clean up the mess on the
best terms possible-reach a
compromise and get the debts
out of the way as an obstacle
to world trade and general
economic recovery"
Some of the members Of
Congress are now engaging IN
loud mOuthings to the effect
that no further postponement
of payments on the debt must
be allowed and that from now on
Europe must be held strictly to
the bond. This reflects an lg
norance Of actualities, and GER
