A SENSIBLE STEP

Recommendation on the part of joint commit
tee from the United States (or SOuthern) Presby-
terrain church and the Associate Reformer Presby-
terrain church that merger of these two bodies be
made is step in the right direction. Leaders OF
these two branches of the Presbyterian faith have
set splendid example for other denominations.
There are no essential differences in doctrine nor
in the mode of church administration of the two
bodies and it is to be hoped that the memberships
as a whole will have the wisdom exhibited by the
leaders who met in Charlotte this week.
Practically every religious denomination has been
suffering in recent years by blind determination
to continue courses of life that are of doubtful
wisdom if studied from the viewpoint of what IS
proper for the greatest good to the greatest
number"
Sentiment has so warped the thinking of many
church leaders and lesser lights both clerical and
Law representatives in most denominations that It
has been impossible for abuses to be corrected.
Expensive and unnecessary programs have been
continued, weak and competitive institutions have
been fed food for existence to the detrment of
what might be one or two strong institutions, and
executive positions long out-dated have been al
lowed to remain
And why have the laymen tolerated such? For
no other reason, probably, than that they have
been uniformed ad too Indifferent to conditions,
and probably too lazy to study the programs they
are asked to finance.
Presbyterans in this section first to lead
the way in consolidating their position in the realm
of UNCONVENTIONAL colleges and now comes the
movement to eliminate overlapping of religious
effort Some day other denominations will throw
off the shaces of Indifference and neffciency and
concentrate their efforts programs that will show
results rather than waste their substance on pro-
grams that should long since have been improved

SENDING A BOY TO MILL

Bandits robbed bank messenger and his guard
of $50 900 in the city of Greenvill yesterday The
crime was committed in daylight and the robbers
made clean getaway. Richmond came back IN
the dispatches last night when Federal Reserve
truck was held up and robbed and its driver killed
The robbery in Richmond was the second of its
kind in that city within fortnight That in Green
vile is the first of its kind in that city. Both crimes
are warnings to other cities that the South is not
immune to the operations of bandits and they
should convince institutions and agencies that
transport large sums of money of the folly of neg
lectng to provide sufficient protection.
In Greenve a negro messenger was 'accompa-
MED by bookkeeper acting as a guard. In Rich
mond the truck poorly protected. Unless
protection is given funds in transportation the time
will come when insurance companies will refuse to
issue policies against robberes except for largely
increased premiums.
Since the criminals that have largely confined
their operations to large Eastern and Western
cities appear to be moving southwark the safe
thing to do is to prepare to give them proper re-
cepton one that will send the survivors back to
their former field. That cannot be done by lack
of preparation on the part of the institutions that
transfer cash, the agencies that handle it or the
police in cities where these robberies are likely
to take place H'

DEMOCRACY TRIUMPHS UNDER
EXPERIENCE
(BY BRUCE CATION

1t is an instructive coincidence that
Franklin Roosevelt and Adolf Hitler COM
pleted their first year in office almost on
the Same day.
America has had a year of the new
deal; Germany has had year OF Nail
CONTROL. 1t is worth while to contrast the
state of things in the two countries, as
means of comparing two utterly different
WAYS of meeting national emergency.
In making such comparison there is no
need to contrast the personalities OF the
American president and the German chan
cellor. What is important is the striking
way lin which two Numerically opposite
theories of government have been put to
work in time of crisis.
In each nation there was widespread
confusion, Encouragement, and want a
year ago. Many men were out of work,
finance and industry were nearly at a
standstill, the mass of mankind was ready
to- embrace almost any kind of program
that promised action.
What have we today?

sion. A large section of the populace suf-
fers from a pitiless persecution. Thousands
upon thousands of men are in Jall-some
because of their race, some because o.
their beliefs.
Freedom of the press and OF speech Is

the government may do. An iron discipline
has descended on the entire nation
And over here? Nobody is in jail, nc
body suffers persecution, nobody is under
bovcott. A newspaper editor can say any
thing his heart moves him to say; poll
tician can denounce the administration in
the most violent terms his vocabulary will
permit.
In. the fall we are to have national
election in which the voters, if they choose,
can repudiate their national administration
! completely.
To put it more simply, the Germans
have sacrificed the last vestiges of their
individual liberty to meet a great crisis.
We have met our crisis with our liberties
| unimpaired.
Now this is not to say that we are wiser
or better folk than the Germans. We are.

selves. The Germans were not used to de-

! theirs work.
If we wish to preserve our happiness,
we lmust preserve our democracy.

FEELING MIGHT SPREAD
More than one school desirous
of entering the conference will
sit tight for year. At the next
annual meeting of the conference,
if the conference fails to admit
six more schools to membership,
the District of Columbia'S feeling
against the conference probably
will spread to Virginia, North Car
olina and South Carolina.
1t might be stated, in passing,
that the conference is none too
popular in Maryland, where sew
eral schools are included in the
conferences So-called blacklist"
The conference voted to have
its membership rule read that
conference m m bers hip be
limited to 16." Great stress was
placed on the thought that this
new rule does not make it obliga-
tory on the conference to take
in any members at all.
Six colleges generally rated as
probable members a year hence
are William and Mary, Rich
mond. Davidson, Wake Forest,
Furman, and The Citadel. Presby-
terian also wants to enter.
Considered Money Angle
It was interesting to note that
the conference, in discussing the
ban on broadcaSting, considered
the matter wholly and entirely
from a money angle. No mention
was made by the conference of
the value of broadcasting to stu
dent bodies unable to accompany
their teams to grid games. One
of the published purposes of the
conference is to keep intercol-
legiate athletics in every form in
proper bounds by making them
an incidental and not the prin-
cipal feature of university life.
