NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE ONLY WAY

We are all in favor of the N. R. A., are back
ing the President. The News and Courier is espe-
cialy in favor of reasonably short working hours,
so that men may develop themselves and get the
most out of life, and has been many years so say
ing; but today we tell our people that n. R. A.
and the New Deal however they may bring eco
nomic recovery. are not cure-al; they will not
take the heard trials out of the lives of men, they
are not economic salvation.
We South Carolinians have got to save our
selves Soon or late, we have got to do that or
we shall perish Or we may do worse than perish;
we may become dependent, supine people,
whipped and covering, looking to government for
sustenance and becoming governments slaves.
How shall we South Carolinians and our neigh
bors, in North Carolina and Georgia. save our
selves-knowing that NRA and all the legislation
of the New Deal are emergency measures, thin
bridges to cross chasm, that will not last?
The News and Courier answers as it answered
last March year ago. We must help ourselves.
We must make things and buy them from one an
other-giving ourselves the preference in trade
Unemployment in South Carolina? Yes-yes-
and for our 1,73S,765 people hundreds of thou
sands of people elsewhere are employed, making
things that our people could make and do not make
for themselves
The News and Courier does not preach against
free trade. 1t is saying only that if we want the
patch of lawn moved we should not send to Bos-
ton for a to do it when the man around the
corner is out of job and wants the job.
If we send to Wisconsin for cheese that we
could buy in Newberry Greenwood, if we I'M
port butter from Illinois that we might buy in
Batesburg if we forget the shirts of Ware Shoals,
and the packed meats of Greenville, the variety
of goods made in Sumter, we are preferring out
siders to town people just thought we were
importing a Chinese to NOW the lawn when the
man around the corner is out of job.
NRA is all right. So is the New Deal They
won't last They are not intended to last.
They promise economic recovery They do not
promise economic salvation. That the South Caro-
lnians must provide for themselves.
South Carolina has natural resources
Are the South Carolinians enterprisng, indus
trious, ambitious resourceful enough to use them?
Never was state made and maintained by gov
ernmental salaries and all governments, necessary
and useful as they are, must and do ride on the
backs of the people
The hope of the South Carolinians and their
neighbors is to supply their needs with their hands
and brains from their lands and shops, and buy
from one another as long by so doing they give
themselves jobs
If they can't do this merciful God may take
care of them: Government won't.-The Charleston
News and Courier. ....

THE INVADING SCARLET ARMY

America must wage two wars at the same time
the war for the restoration of prosperity and the
even grimmer struggle against organized crime
Last night in his radio address Secretary of War
George H. Dern laid before the country a startling
account of the size of 'the Scarlet Army of crime
and its devastatiens in the cities and throughout
the countryside of the nation.
About 100000 strong, this army of criminals
every year murders $4,000 people, kidnaps 5000,
assaults $4,000 and robs $4,000 more.
Every year 10000 homes and other places are
burglarized and more than 500, 1000 is lost
through incendiary fires. ,.... H..
Such conditions can exist in a land dedicated to
freedom, to the blessings of law and order, said
Fecretary Dern, only because the people themselves
are in large degree Indifferent to the depredations
committed against them. -. ...
The country can not refute this Indictment of
its apathy If anywhere the police power is ham,
strung by crooked politics, the people, by their
complacency over rotten civic conditions, are to
blame. -
If statutes are filled with loopholes through
which skillful lawyers can find escape for crmi.
nails, such abuses will end only when the people
become aroused and demand righteous admins.

NRA CODES TRAVEL LENGTHY
ROUTE FOR FINAL APPROVAL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81 (UP)
"A code of fair practices-the
phrase is on the tip Of every
tongue these days.
Every citizen knows that a
code is calculated to put people
back to work, to raise wages. He
also vaguely knows that every
code contains wordy provisions
about minimum wages" wage
differentials," and "hours of
labor" He is more than vague
in his knowledge of how code
is prepared and put into action.
LONG JOURNEY
In its long journey through the
governmental Recovery mill every
code passes through ten distinct
stages:
/. First of all the trade group
meets to consider what shall be
the provisions Of the proposed
code as to hours, wages, and con-
ditions Of labor, and as to fair
practices. The group may draw
up one code for the entire in
dustry, or may prepare one for
each of its divisions.
2. Before forwarding the code
to Washington the trade group
must apply for permission to do
so. This permission is granted if
the group can show that it is
truly representative of the in
dustry, that it imposes no I'M
due restrictions as to member
ship, and that its code to not
calculated to promote monopoly.
CODE CLEARING HOUSE
8. The code, forwarded to the
NRA. is turned over to a Con-
troll Division. This is a sort of
clearing house through which
contacts are maintained between
industry and the NRA.
4. Economic, technical, n d
legal analyses are made Of the
code by the Code Analysis Divi-
sion. Here it is studied to see
that it conforms with the Ma
tional Industry Recovery Act.

stubborn fellow"
But he promised that he would
not say anything that would af-
feet labor's position under the re-
covery act in any way. cone OF
his pressureS was the threat by
Lewis Of national coal strike.)
THE Interpretation finally issued
l. jointly by Johnson and Chief
Counsel Donald Richberg for
nally erased the terms open
shop" and CLOSED shop" from
the NRA official vocabulary.
But the issue-as it was and
will be-ought to be defined. A
CLOSED shop is place where
only union men are hired. An
open shop" technically is a
place where anyone may be hired
Employers argue that an open
shop gives them the privilege of
hiring capable men on merit, re-
CARELESS of whether they have
union membership.
But labor says it always works
out so that open shop employers
discharge union men ald hire
nonunion workers. That pre-
vents the building up of union
in the plant
THE only important new thing
l. in the JOhnson-Richberg docu-
ment, which nearly everyone has
overlooked, is the NRA's promise,
in cases where question arises as
to whether employees are being
represented by representatives Of
their own choosing, to offer an
impartial investigation, and If
necessary secret ballot.
That means the NRA will act
on legitimate complaints that la
Dor isn't getting its rights as
guaranteed by the act. Steel and
some other industries are likely
to be held up in the light of pub
lie opinion as refusing to accept
the offer of investigation.

COOPER CONTINUES
FIGHT ON MERGER
Head of U. S. Savings Bank
Has Called Mass Meet
ing of Depositors.

Col. Wade H. Cooper, president of the
closed United States Savings Bank, to-
day continued his fight against the bank
entering the proposed merger with six
other local banks to form the Hamilton
National. He called a mass meeting of
the depositors ito let them decide what
they want done with the bank" Col.
Cooper owns more than so per cent Of
the banks stock.
Col. Cooper said the mass meeting
would be held next Monday in the the
ater on U street between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets. This is the most con-
venient hall in proximity to the bank
which is located at Fourteenth and U
streets.
Col. Cooper has had many confer
ences with Treasury officials who are
anxious for the bank to join the con-
solidation move, but has been unable to
get them to take his view of the situ-
alton. He has also fought all moves
made by the Hamilton National Organ
ization Committee.
At the mass meeting Col. Cooper said
he would explain the entire situation
concerning the United States Savings
Bank.
The depositors will be given oppor-
tunity to vote on the proposition of
making further efforts to have the saw
ings bank reopened as separate unit.
In order to make any action effective,
1t must be agreed to by holders of rs
per cent of the banks deposits.
Wilbur H. Zepp, the conservator, an
nounced few days ago that the United
States Savings Bank would enter the
merger with at least six other banks and
considerable work has already been done
preliminary to the raising of new
capital.
The meeting of depositors which he
now proposes to hold, will be similar to
the gathering of depositors in the Com
mercial National Bank at the Mayf1ower
Hotel when speeches and music featured
the occasion. Col. Cooper was also
president of the Commercial National
at the time the bank went into receiv-
ership and has exerted vigorous efforts
to get that bank reopened but to no

Acts as Own Lawyer
in Police Court.

Police Court proceedings for the re-
turn of Abner Siegal, disharred Wash
ington attorney, to Wilkes-B Pa,
to stand trial on a conspiracy charge
were dismissed today by Judge Gus A.
Schuldt.
The action was taken after Assistant
United States Attorney Michael Keogh
had applied FOR q continuance Of the
case due to inability to locate missing
witness. Siegal, acting as his own law
yer, said that, in view of the fact the
case already had been continued several
times, he felt there had been undue
delay and petitioned for dismissal of
the proceedings.
Judge Schuldt concurred and ordered
the case dismissed
Siegal is now serving an 18-month
sentence in the District penal institu-

High School in Southwest Washington
will be delayed indefinitely, unless
owners Of the remaining portion of the
site are willing to make drastic reduc-
tion in their prices. were seen today
at the District Building.
Agreement on the matter must be
reached soon, 1t was explained, since
on July an appropriation of SIS, 900
for the purchase of additional land
will lapse.
Litigation over the purchase OF
needed land, between H and I, Seventh
and Ninth streets southwest, already
has resulted in the loss of use of an
appropriation Of $105,00o, which was
contained in the 1892 act, it was ex-
planned.
Maj. John C. Gotwais, Engineer Com
missioner, declared today he could not
recommend purchase of the remaining
parcels if the Court of Appeals upholds
the latest condemnation award of
$205, 900 for the additional land In the
site. The District, he said; would not
have sufficient money available for the
purpose.
Maj. Gotwals said he would agree to
payment of as much as So per cent
above the assessed values of the parcels
in question, which would amount to
about the same percentage above as
seSsed values as that paid for other
parcels in the site already acquired by
the District
