''Sunnyside Up"

THE editor Of the Weekly re-
CARDS the folIoacing piece from
the Raleigh News and Observer,
entitled "Sunnyside Up," as one
Of the best editorials he has read
in many day. He supposes 1t
1oas aUrittem by Jonathan Dan
lelS).
Clarence Kuester, Charlotte s
Chamber Of Commerce secre-
tary, who not so many years
ago was one of those who re-
ported to the world at large his
observation that the South was
full of plenty Of cheap and con-
tented labor, now reports an
other observation TO the press.
Il doubt" he says, that there
are any slums in any North
Carolina cities.
The Charlotte NeWs, which is
not subject TO the Chamber OF
Commerce brand Of community
astigrnatism, rather gently calls
Mr.. Kuester's attention TO rows
Of what are known in the real
estate trade as niger houses,
and at which, no doubt, many OF
the better slum dWellers would
turn up their noses" One Of
these days, suggests the NeeOs,
"Clarence is going to run smack
up against a row Of rickety
houses alike as 26 peas in d pod
and perched precariously on
some creek bank. The absence
Of fire escapes will not warrant
the presumption that they aren't
fire traps. Because there is a
space of a few feet between the
individual structures does not
justify the belief that their ten
ants live in less than confusion,
no more than it does the hope Of
a private, home-like, respectable
place in which to raise ones chill
lun."
What would happen to a
Southern town if it possessed d
Chamber Of Commerce and a
Chamber Of Commerce secre-
tary who devoted themselves to
a realistic consideration Of
community problems and their
solution from the standpoint Of
the entire community and not
to a shouting of virtues and a
hiding of equally imposing com
munity vices? The probability
is that it would be an excellent
thing for the town. But the os-
trich tradition of which Mr..
Kuester is by all odds the lead
ing exemplar in North Carolina
is SO well established that there
seems little reason to hope that
Chambers Of Commerce will ever
become anything more than the
blind boosters that the most of
them have been.
In industrial cities they in
formed Northern manufacturers
that they could come and pay
Southern labor just as little as
they wished and work them as
long as they pleased, and SO laid
the seeds for much of the indus
trial conflict that has caused
bloodshed in the South. They
we're the chief beaters of the
drums in the programs of prog
-ess in every little town which
paved its streets far out into the
lnoccupied bushes. They have
'ostered every form of human
exploitation from land booms
o sweat shops and stretch-out |
ystems. And over all they cast
mist or rose colored light.
With their backs to whatever
community sores existed they
old all the world that would
listen that this was the hanniest

A Sensible Suggestion

Morehead:
Recognizing that public SEN
timent our nation and state de-
mands a change in our Prohi-
bition laws, and in order that we
may deal with the situation
that will arise with the repeal
Of the 18th Amendment, we urge
the Governor Of North Carolina
to take action similar 10 that
taken by the Governor Of Vir-
ginia In appointing d committee
TO study and submit rules and
regulations to control and prop
erly safeguarding the handling
Of all alcoholic beverages.
This is q sensible suggestion.
Whether the drys are right or
wrong in saying that q vote for
the repeal of the 18th Amend
ment is a vote for the repeal of
the burlington act, it is certain
that there is going to be a
strong movement TO end the
bone-dry regime in North Caro-
lima. Suppose that majority Of
the members Of the next legis-
lature decide that public opinion
in the state demands the repeal
Of the burlington act, what
then? What method Of control
is to replace it?
The legislators should not
nave TO choose among hastily
suggested plans They should
have before them the results Of
careful study by a group of
citizens Of high standing and
recognized competence. More
over, this study should be made
well in advance Of the convening
of the General Assembly so
that it may be subjected to a
thorough public discussion.
Throughout the nation inter
est has been so concentrated up
on the question of repeal that
relatively little attention has
been given to what is to be
done about liquor when repeal
becomes a fact. Thoughtful
citizens among both the vets
and the drys agree that the
states should give serious-and
prompt-consideration to this
problem.
A survey by the Associated
Press shows that, as the state
laws stand today, % states will
remain dry after repeal is &C
complished. In the other 19
states liquor will be legally pur-
chasable under varying condi-
tions. There are indications,
however" says the A. P, that
control laws will be formulated
in several Of the states that are
now dry"
At present only 10 states have
new control machinery: Arizona,
California, Connecticut, Della
ware, Indiana, Montana, Nevada,
New Mexico, New York, and
Rhode Island. There is great
diversity in the character of the
methods of control. Montana,
for example, will be able to go
into the liquor business through
the operation Of a law copied
from the Canadian province of
Alberta and providing for a sys-
TEN of state-owned stores.
Rhode Islands law permits the
sale of liquor in original con-
tainers, and in hotels and restau-
rants with meals, but not in sa-
looms. Five states louisiana,
New Jersey, Maryland, Wiscon-
sin, and Massachusetts, will be
just where they stood before ma
tional Prohibition unless new
laws are enacted. Commissions,
official and non-official, are en-
gagged in drafting liquor-control
plans in Colorado, Illinois, Iowa,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Min

HEADWAY
By THEODORE KOsLOW

NEW YORK, Jan. is UNISJ
The curb market held within
relatively narrow confines today,
with q stand-off attitude on the
part Of speculative interests
allowing for little more than
minor price changes along the
line.
Constructive News waited
Trading was again extremely
dull, encouraging belief that the
list was in a position to resume
the advance once something in
the way Of constructive news
developed.
There was little doing in the
utility group, with slightly easier
tendencies in Commonwealth
Edison, Electric Bond and Share
and American Gas and Electric.
The Cities Service issues de-
veloped a slightly firmer tone,
the common edging UP " to 8.

Aluminium moved into the lime
light in the speciality group,
Chalking UP a gain of 11a points

were dull.
