BULWINKLE AFTER THE HOME LOAN
CORPORATION

Congressman Bulwinkle of this State is
in Washington. going after the Home Loan
Corporation Charlotte Observer observes
that the officials of the Corporation are
asleep on the job, that practically no relief
has been furnished home owners, and that
mortgages are still being ,fOreclosed at a
great rate.
1t is true that the Home Loan Corpora
ton has done very little business. This
statement may be supplemented with the
statement that its business is not going to
increase. When the Corporation quits
business, soon or late, it will be found that
it has done but little business and that
about all it has done may be summed up
in the expense account.
These government corporations, boards
such numbers that the average citizen
such numbers that the average citizen
could not name ten per cent. of them, all
employ large number of political ap-
pointees and each official runs an expense
account The government is spending hum
dreds of millions of money to keep them
going, and the most they are doing is run
ming up expense accounts and paying
salaries.
All the government corporations, boards
and bureaus that have been created will
not solve the country's problems, restore
normal or prosperous conditions, get bust
ness and industries on a sound basis, save
mortgaged homes and farms, restore salts
factory prices for farm product or the
products of industry, or accomplish any
other thing that they are alleged to dc.
Here and there some fractional results
may be chalked up through these efforts,
but what is gained at one point will be lost
at another.
The people of the country can do moth
ing better than cease appealing to these
government agencies, forget their exist
ence, and go to work to save themselves.
In spite of the handicaps imposed by the
government agencies they may be able to
get out of the hole if they take this course.

ORGANIZED LABOR

Labor unions were on their last legs when Presi-
dent Roosevelt inaugurated his National Recovery
Administration. But, strange to say this force
in American business, the NRA which was de-
signed to do what labor unions have as the prnci-
pal purpose, the maintaining of satisfactory scale
of wages, gave new life to the labor unions. In
reality there can be little use for labor organiza-
tions of nationwide scope when the NRA blanket
code and the permanent codes are in force. The
wages are set by the government.
Right now the country is dotted with strikes, and
the situation is anything but reassurng. 1t would
be unfair to say that labor organizations are the
cause of all these strikes but it is safe to say that
had there been labor organizations, the cause
of the troubles would be eliminated within short
time.
This newspaper realizes that there has been a
time when labor organizations were necessary and
company unions should not be banned even today
They provide means of bringing about better
understanding between employer and employee
But when some national group steps into the pic
ture, and tells a certain group of employees in a
mill mine that they should strike because of
some grievance, fancied or real the trouble starts
In short, organized labor on national scale has
never been able to get competent leaders. When
leadership fails, the whole organization goes fol
nothing.
To point out what we mean by incompetent lead
ership, we call attention to William Green, pres
dent of the American Federation of Labor who
"blieves that congress should include fve-day
3O-hour week in the recovery CODE" In this con-
nection, Arthur Brisbane, worlds highest palt
editor aptly remarks, can important point is some
times overlooked, namely that in planning hour:
and wages, you must also plan for somebody tc
pay the wages" -Albemarle News and Press.

CONTROL AND THE CONTROLLERS

Greensboro News calls attention to the
fact that the Hon. pete" Murphy of Sails
bury is going up and down the State cry
ing out for control of the liquor business.
The News says that is strange, as the Hon.
pete" has opposed every effort made in
North Carolina in the past thirty years to
control the liquor business.
The Hon. "Pete" is not alone in that po-
sition. There are other politicians in the
boat with him. That fact makes thousands
of North Carolina voters wonder who will

is restored in this State, and how it will be

ROBERT PAGE

North Carolina lost of its finest citizens in
the death of Robert N. Page member of a family
that has wrought nightly in state history. 1t was
the Pages who gave impetus to development of the
sandhills section by pioneering in railroad con-
struction and numbering, and their rairoad-the
Aberdeen and Asheboro-long headed the list of
roads in the National directory. Mr. Page was hon
ored by the people of his district with long term
in congress, but politics did not appeal to his dis
position so much as work in development of the
resources of his section and in that he was long
leader: He was an active factor in banking, agri-
culture and horticulture and was foremost pro-
moter IN all movements for advancement of his
state and his people. His death removes one of
the most beloved men in North Carolina and it
falls as distinct loss, not only to his immediate
community, but to the state at large-Charlotte

Brilliant Historical Novel
Portrays Socialist Betrayal
of the German Revolution
Pliviers "The Kaiser Goes, the Generals
Remain" Is Vivid Story of the Armistice
Days of November, 1918

And you realize, when you read
Plivier's book, how much the Ger
man workers and soldiers needed a
trained Bolshevik Party, how much
they needed Lenin to guide the
strategy of those days when Revo-
luton and Socialist betrayal were
battling for mastery. Better than
volumes theoretically proving the
need for revolutionary party is
Plivier's stirring recital of events as
they happened during those days.
Today, with Germany in the grip
of Nazi fascism, the revolutionary
days of 1918 read like a legend, like
dim and distant history. But they
are less than Is years behind us, and
what the Socialist leaders did then
breaking the back of the proletarian
revolution with the aid of the Kaiser'S
generals and ministers = they con-
tinued to do until Hitler came to
power.
There is a straight line from Ebert
calling up Imperial Army Headquar-
tiers and making q deal with the gen.
erals to put down the rebelling work
ers with machine gun fire, to Zoer-
giebel using armored cars and ma
chine guns against demonstrating

NoSke organizing officers volunteer

workers in 1918 and in January and
March, 1919.
More Effective Than Dry. Analyses
Plivier will probably do more to
elucidate fot workers the role of the
-erman Social Democrats in paving
the way for Hitler than tons of polit-
ical analysis. For the events, the facts,
are put SO simply, the narrative is SO
gripping and therefore SO telling, that
even workers with Socialist sympa-
thies will find their faces reddening
with indignation.
And besides all its political impli-
cations, PlivierS novel is beautifully
