Brain Trust.

Brain Trust.
What we'd like to know is, who's
the brains behind the Brain Trust
Barney Baruch is called the unofi-
cial President. Several years ago he
visited Mussolini and studied the
plans of the bugger- dictator
50 is he the brains behind the BIT?
Pink Shirts.
In the Daily News, the fashion
editor for men has the following i'm
portant advice: "One of the most
n1aligned colors for men is pink. And
1 yet there is nothing smarter with
some color schemes than pink shirt
1T has been worn by too many he
men to be considered unvirile. Pink
is especially becoming to the man
with brown hair and eyes" But I'll
bet you couldn't make steel worker
wear it, even If his eyes were brown.

st. Paul is supposed 10 be Amer

and workers stand IN breadlines.
Where?
1t is said that the average annual
salary of the president of life in

where this money comes from, but
where does it go to? And where do
the companies find presidents with
$4,000 brains? Or don't they?

What
a
World
How To Cure kidnapping.
By Michael Gold

There are only TWO countries n
he world today where kidnapping OF
itch hostages is a major racket. One
IS the capitalist portion Of China,
he other our own U.S.A.
It's an ancient and well-established
custom in China. The rules have
been perfected for centuries, and
when fat old landlord or Pekinese
parasite is snatched he doesn't get
ruffled. He drinks tea with his genial
hosts, and plays chess with them
until the ransom arrives. He under
stands and submits; it's only a kind
of tax upon wealthy racketeers by
the less wealthy.
In the U.S.A., however, the game
Is new, and the rich haven't learned
to take it big. They get excited.
They howl for law and order and
think up extreme measures of re-
prisal. They go SO far as to send
warships to Cuba. You see, if one
can't stop kidnapping at home, at
least one can stop Communism in
Cuba. And that's something.

5$cents on up"
If these two things are not done,
Dowell indicated that the merch-
ants are likely to proceed to test
the sales tax act out in the courts
and carry it to the United States
Supreme Cour if necessary.
Commissioner Maxwell had no
comment to make today on what
Dowell had said, nor did he give
any indication that he has any in
tention of revising the present
regulations with regard either to
showing the tax as we'll as the
price or with regard to the pres
ent schedules for passing the tax
on to the consumer. He continues
to maintain that if any merchants
do attempt to increase their prices
more than 3 per cent, where the
tax is included in the sales price,
that public sentiment and the laws
of supply and demand will take
care of him and force him to
bring his prices in line with those
of other merchants. Director
Harry Mcmillan o. the Sales Tax
Division, said he had heard that a
chain store manager had been in
dicted in Fayetteville, but that he
did not know any of the details
of the charges.

also has been gaining ground in their ledgers and
on their order sheets. - ." :
With prices of commodities continuing to bound
inward cotton, fortunately for the South, leading
the way as it took another ascendant leap Monday
of $3.50 the bale, and with wages being increased
az new workers are pouring into the industries,
he would be cynic and msanthrope, indeed, who
would try to pour cold water on the evidences OF
q revival of trade and business activity.
Without the spirit of becoming joy-killer, one
would do WELL in the meantime, to keep clearly
in mind the one transcendant fact in this new
splurge of business and industry namely, that the
leadership in our governmental life which has been
brought into the equation our economic Destiny
and the policies which that leadership has invoked
in order to resurrect our PROSTATE economic body
are only at the beginnings of genuine experiment
tation.
For the most part, the revival so clearly and
spectacularly noted, has resulted from the promise
Of what these policies would achieve. In the next
few weeks these policies will be judged not by
their prophecies, but by their performances
The business and industries factors and forces
of the nation obviously believe in the presidents
program. They are certainly lining up with him
in his reformative movements with an unparal-
Ieled zeal and fervor and spirit of cooperation
and, that of course is essential in order to give
the new principles to be invoked in our economic
activities decent chance to validate the hopes
held for them.
Even so, the practical wisdom and application
of these policies, aseertainment of whether they
win operate in our everyday life of business and
industry discovery of their adjustment to the hu-
man factor in our economic body, are yet to be
unfolded. '"'
} And, therefore, in order to verify the expecta-
tions that these policies will vndicate their pur-
pose and work out in accordance with the hopes
held for them, and because of which business has
COINED such sensationally ground, it is incum-
bent upon the economic leadership of the country
to stand by the president not merely to applaud
him for his courage and inventveness, but to as
sist him fairly honestly practically and earnestly
in making these new plans and new principles work
out our economic salvation.-Charlotte Observer.

NORTH CAROLINA WARNED

Director Hopkins of the Department of Federal
Relief has isCed an austere warning to the states
of the nation to the general effect that some of
them that are making plans to assist in relief
of restitution hereafter setting themselves for
some "rade shocks"
a. North Carolina is one of the states that he is
talking about whether he has it specifically in mind
or not We have been reaping in this respect where
we have not strewn receiving millions of dollars,
something like six million of them so far, from
the federal government, to feed, clothe and house
our INDECENT poor and destitute unemployed since
last fan, without having contributed, as state,
on single cent to this enterprise Local commune
ties have helped along little, but not much. The
sober fact is that, so far as North Carolina is con-
cerned the vast program of relief in this state has
been federaLinspired and federal-executed.
Now, the director in Washington threatens to
fling some shocks in the face of states that are
lethargie like this, and probably all of them to a
greater or lesser degree than North Carolina, is
guilty of the same sort of lack of cooperation. In
other words what he means to get across is simply
this-a state that does nothing for itself in this
direction may we'll get itself set to have the fed
eral government prop knocked out from under, and
that would be calamitous for North Carolina.-The

WHY LONDON FARLEY PROVED
FRUITLESS . 80
(By BRUCE CATTON)

The breakup at London seems to have
come chiefly because of general recogni,
ton that no very genuine co-operatioh is
possible between a nation which is follow
ing definite policy and NATIONS which are
drifting. -. ..i:...-:.,. -
Back of President Roosevelt's flat re-
fusal to consider currency sterilization at
this time there is one fact that cannot be
overlooked. s.. r-@-f, ,.s-
The United States has thought out and
adopted very elear-cut and far-reaching
domestic program. 1t intends to raise
prices, control production, boost wages
and decrease unemployment, and it pro-
poses to do these things by means of GER
tain concrete actions.
The other nations at the conference
with the exception of Russia, which is in
a class by itself-have no such program.
They seem to be committed to policy of
watchful waiting, and at times they have
a striking resemblance to Mr.. Micawber.
being hopeful that something will turn up.
That being the case, how can we logical
ly expect that this nation can easily find a
common program of concerted action with
the others?
Furthermore, for what reason does the
chief responsibility for finding such a pro-
gram rest upon the rulers of this nation?
The United States has at least made a
determined and heroic effort to put its. own
house in order. 1t has embarked on tire
mendous experiment, and while we have
no guarantee today that the experiment
VIII not fail at least the country has had
the courage and the vitality to make it.
Right or wrong, win or lose, the nation has
got away from the policy of drift.
There is no reason on earth why this
country should run the risk Of running that
experiment before its gets well under way
simply in order to arrive at currency sta
biization agreements with nations which
have yet to enunciate clear policy OF
their own. ..... -. , ,..
Correspondents at London are reporting
that the European statesmen are saying
many harsh things about us these days be
cause we have wrecked" the conference
That, of course, is too bad. But consider
ing the fact that that has been one of tn,
chief diversions of European Statesmen
ever since the war, Americans probabll
will be able to bear up under it. And it i
trifle difficult to see why the ultimate re
sponsibility for lack of accomplishment a
London rests with us.
