Our argument is and has been that the 18th

been a foundation stone of the constitution today
provided we had waged a continuous battle against
the evils of liquor. The amendment helped remove
the temptation, and if we had only recognized the
fact that it was being sold illegally, and fought it
openly. the LATHE would have been won by 1880.

we do know that temptation can be removed By

OLD LAW STILL IN FORCE

The law of supply and demand is more powerful
than any law ever devised by any legislative as
sembly, prince or potentate When things that peo-
pie want are scarce they will pay big prices for
them but when there is an over-supply that fact is
soon known and prices to tumble. Water
is an absolute necessity for mans existence. 1t is
usually very cheap commodity because there is SO
much of it. A millionaire dying of thirst in desert
would give all of his wealth for one good drink of
water.
Improved methods of agriculture and cultivation
of new areas have increased the supply of certain
farm products beyond the worlds capacty to con-
sumo and so prices have dropped. Mechanical in
ventions of various sorts have increased the out
put of the factories so that the supply of their
products is ahead of the demand. Theoretically it
would be fine if just enough of everything could
be made to supply the demand but practical
way has yet been found to do this and so for some
| time yet it seems the old natural law will be in
force.-The Beaufort News

New Theory as to
Atlantis Is Out
British Expert Has Views
on Size and Antiquity

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is. (UP).
A new theory concerning At
lantis, the great continent, which
is supposed to have occupied a
large portion of what is now the
northern Atlantic ocean, is ad-
vanced in paper written by
Prof. Albert Gilligan, famed
British geologist, and published
as part of the annual report of
the Smithsonian Institute, just
issued.
Prof. Gilligan believes that the
hypothesis of a land mass of con-
tinental proportions is the only
means of explaining certain geo
logical features of Scotland,
Scandinavia and parts of North
America. His theory contends
that this "lost continent must
have existed at least until the
end Of the CarboniferouS geo
logical age, some 250,OOO,OOO
years ago.
LAND SUBSIDIZED
Beliefs that the land suddenly
disappeared into the sea, how
ever, are not supported by the
Briton. On the contrary, his be-
lief is that it slowly subsidized in
to the ocean through millions Of
! years, and that parts of it may
even have been above the sea
level when the Norsemen made
their earlist voyags to Iceland
and Greenland.
Concerning the size Of the At
lantis, Gilligan says:
"The present-day Mississippi
(river), with its tributaries,
drains an area the size of Europe
with the exception Of Russia,
Norway and Sweden. The belt
of classic deposits surrounding
the North Atlantic and derived
from the ancient land mass would
make up many such deltas as
that of the Mississippi, and cor
respondiugly must the land mass
from which these. were derived
have exceeded that which so far
has been laid under contribution
for the Mississippi delta"
HALF BILLION YEARS OLD
Prof. Gilligan points out that
in Scotland and Norway there
are great thicknesses Of rock
geologically dated from more
than half a billion years ago,
sedimentary in origin and quite
different from the underlying an
cient land surface. Evidence
points to most Of this accumula-
ton having been derived from
some area of rock types differ
ent from the older rocks of the
country on which it rests.

FORCING MELoDRAMA FROM PLAIN
FACTS
CBy BRUCE CATTON)

A good many people have toyed lately
with the idea that the news-hungry citizen
ought to be able to sit at home in his arm
chair and have the news of the day waited
to his receptive ears from the loud-speaker
of his radio.
In theory, it's not a bad idea. In prac-
tice, it seems to be completely non-eX-
plosive dud.
Not long ago a gang of convicts escaped
from the Indiana state prison.
An Indiana radio station Immediately set
to work to broadcast the story of the man
hunt.
The man-hunt wasn't having a great
deal of luck right at the moment, and some
radio official decided that the hSteners-ln
deserved more excitement than the plain
facts were likely to provide. So that part
of the public which tried to get its news
out of the loud-speaker began to hear
wild and woody tale of running gun bat
tie, with juicy slice of trumped-up melo-
drama substituted for facts.
AS a result, the listeners-in were hoaXed
and the enforcement officers who were
irving to catch the convicts found the work
seriously hampered.
In protest to the Federal Radio COM
mission, Capt. Matt Leach of the Indiana
state police asserted:
"This broadcast seriously intertered
with the work of the 65 state police under
my command and considerable number
of other enforcement officers. We vast
ed several hours of precious time. Tele-
phone wires of the state police at their
barracks in Chesterton, Ind, were tied up
for several hours by persons who appar-
emily had heard the broadcast and were
calling for information
So the net result of all this was that the
attempt to catch the convicts was ham
pered, some scores of citizens were fright
ened badly-and nobody knew just what
was happening until the daily papers came
around with the real facts in the case.
This is just the sort of thing that has
f. happened over and over again in radio
news broadcasts. The Los Angeles earth
quake some time ago took on the proper
tions of one of the great disasters of all
time-until the newspapers came out with
the truth.
'7 Wild-eyed announcers have told us OF
4, frenzied and sensational prize fights
which, next day, turned out to be affairs
so spiritlesS and slow that the participants
were almost tossed out of the ring for fail
. ing to try. The Indiana man-hunt was a
desperate gun battle-until the newspaper
reporters turned in their reports.
So it goes. The loud-speaker may be E
fine medium for hearing feminine-voiceC
tenors and third-rate vaudeville. For &C
counts of the days news, it seems to be {
good deal less than reliable.
The times-news. [volume] (Hendersonville, N.C.) 1927-current, 1933-10-16

he concludes, at appears to me
convincing that the present land
masses surrounding the North
Atlantic. even when brought to-
gethcr as has been suggested by
Wegener and others, could not
give US all that is required in the
type and amount of sediment,
and therefore, either these lands
must themselves be much extend
ed beyond their present boun-
diaries and these extended areas
consist of different materials
from those which characterize
the present fragments, or there
was an actual continental area
occupying the whole of the pres
emit North Atlantic which has
since broken up and foundered."

workers. We even hear the manag-
ers give them instructions how 10 do
the dirty job, but we also know how
to act and many times they are
forced to shut their mouths.
Under the guidance Of Leo VOL
man, Prof. of Economics at Columka
University, the Gibson Committee has
been set up on the campus to FIND
efficient ways of robbing the Colum-
bia University workers. AS a result
Of the exposure Of this committee
through our paper, The Campus
Worker, they have not dared to ask
for funds from those places where
wage-cuts have already taken place
But in the John Jay Dining Halls
where as a result Of the exposure
given to the conditions there by the
Social Problems Club of Colunbiss
University and the formation of an
investigating committee, no wage
cuts are present as yet. The Glib
son Committee has come here and
squeezed the necessary money to re-
duce the workers wages.
The latest outrage is the recent
death of one of our fellow workers.
Sick for four weeks, his wages re-
duced so percent, with no help from
the bosses, through lack Of proper
medical care and food, this worker
died of pneumonia on December Is,
1892, leaving four children and a
wife destitute. We know that this
comes as a result of the speed UP
enforced. upon us, burdening us with
endless work and thereby weakening
our whole health.
Medical care is given free to stu
dents and teachers, and we, the
lowest paid workers, must demand
the same privileges and not be forced
to scrape our meagre earnings for
medical care.
For all these grievances our group
has been on the job continually by
issuing leaflets and publishing
monthly bulletin. We, the wot -ers
and student workers, have raised the
following demands:
| Cd No wage cuts in any form.
| (2) No lay-offs.
| CD No speed-up.
! "a Students to carry over unpunched
part of meal ticket.
! (5) students to be refunded money
for meals not eaten.

Cd Free medical treatment for all
workers.

The first effect of this influence

Monday in making demand on

ously the League has in mind the

fered Japan basis for achieving
cooperation with the Nanking tools

of % effecting the pacification of

ing unified control of the ManchlTian
railway system under Japanese hege-
nony to facilitate the movement of

so strengthening the counter-revo-
lutionary Nanking government as an
imperialist instrument against the
Chinese Soviet Republic and the Sow
let Union and for the crushing of
the resistance of the Chinese masses
to imperialist exploitation and the
proceeding partition of China. The
Leagues move, while apparently di-
rected against Japan, is in reality
directed against the Soviet Union
and, with it's demand for "concili-
alton" with Marking, is aimed to
drive Japan toward the Soviet bor-
ders and away from the U. S. and
British spheres of influence in China.
Peoples War Imminent.
The Leagues move is also mott
waited by growing fear on the part
of the white imperialists of the loss
of prestige or "face" in the Orient
as result of Japan's unchallenged
advance into China. In addition,
there is the growing fear on the part
of U. s. and European imperialists
that Nanking will not be able to con-
!, troll the indignant masses, that
peoples war is imminent, and will
be directed against all the imperial
ist bandits. The British admit that
the anti-Japanese boycott is already
spreading to include British as well
as japanese goods. Moreover, the
feeling is growing in the capitalist
camps that their conciliatory attitude
to Japan's robber aims in China has
encouraged Japan to raid more deep
ly into the U. S. and British spheres
of influence and has not had the in
tended effect of throwing Japan into
immediate action against the Soviet
Union.
The present Leagues move also
aims to re-establish the shattered
prestige of the League and to con-
tinue the swindle that the League
of Nations is an instrument Of peace.
