ministration labor policy, which
once seemed strong but broke
down many months ago and has
wiggled and wobbled ever since,
was involved.
The possibility Of being forced
to use federal troops in a labor
dispute came TO officials already
badly worried by the dangerous
potentialities of clashes between
militia and mobs.
YOU'LL hear more and more
i about Communists in the next
few months, and some of it will
be true. A strong federal drive
against Communist labor agita-
tors is more than a possibility.
Communists are likely to be
found wherever labor. unrest SIM

angry workers more militant, to
get them accustomed to fighting
employers and authorities-and
to victory, if possible. They don't

recent habits of isolated, ineffec-

policy of boring from within.
No one here gives Communists
credit for the San Francisco,
Minneapolis or Toledo upheavals.

atOrs keep telling employers the
only way to keep outside "Reds"
from influencing labor troubles is
to be more conciliatory with their
regular workers..

causes of the existing situation
as:
1. A long history of suppress

complete distrust of employers.
2. The calling of troops

created such resentment as to
make mediation impossible.

AGITATOR is ABROAD

The unrest among textile workers of the South
which continues to be harassment to the national
administration must not be wholly, or even prin-
cipally charged to the workers themselves.
The agitator has chosen the southern tier Of
states and the major southern industry for his
field of exploitation
It so happens that cotton manufacturing has
enjoyed up to few weeks ago, revival that has
been denied practically all other major industries
of America and where such a condition exists the

CAPITAL AND CONFIDENCE

. In a discussion of the state of the cOun-
TRY today, The Asheville Citizen places the
case before the public in way that can
not be too often emphasized. The Citizen
says:
, Normal investment has dwinded to insignii-
cant proportions. That is chief reason for the
drying up of jobs that has taken place If capital
could rid itself Of its fears and resume its normal
functionng the diSconteEss of labor would tend to
: disappear The strikes and rumors of strikes on
the part of labor are a barrier to recovery. There
is no doubt of that. But the fact that capital
; which would normally be engaged in productive
enterprise is now in hiding or seeking refuge in
government bonds is perhaps a more significant
barrier to recovery. Until that is changed the
progress of reeovedy viii be limited. Until capital
goes back to work the success of the recovery
movement viii be imperiIIed."
A., The condition of the country with refer
ence to capital and credit is now the grea.-
, est hindrance to recovery. Capital is fright
ened. In a large measure it is in hiding.
Capital that is flowing is being invested in
federal bonds, for two reasons-they are
tax free and are regarded by capitalists as
1.-THE safest investment in this period of in
dustrial strife and uncertainty. The net re-
suit of this state Of affairs is that the fed.
eral government finds it easy to increase
its Indebtedness, by running deficit dav
by day, and marketing bonds to cover il,
land the business of the country finds it al
most impossible to secure capital for the
promotion Of normal business.
Strikes-ordinary strikes or radical up
,risings- as The Citizen says, barrier
Ito recovery. Anything that disturbs bust
mess and industry is a barrier to recovery :;
and, under present conditions, very little
,upSetting of the normal order may be at
tended with results altogether out Of pro-
portion to the Importance of the occur
rence.
Recovery of the country depends upon
the restoration of normal business and in
Idustrial conditions, together with normal
conditions in agriculture. Government
spending will never restore normal condi-
Itions or prosperity. Government operation
rof business and industry will not accom-
Iplish this purpose. Industry and business
must be given the opportunity to come
back and go to work on a large scale. In
so far as this has been accomplished in
any section of the country, conditions have
5mproyed. Where labor troubles or other
pnfavorable conditions exist, restoration o.
normal conditions is tagging.
{. Conditions in the capital market as Il
whole and credit conditions throughoI 1T
the country are far from normal, however,
and are at present the chief hindrances 10
fOrward-mOving business and industry
Until capital goes back to work the SUI
cess of the recovery movement will be i'm
perilled."

We're ALL Souls in Revolt.
Rich man, poor man, beggar
m n, thief, doctor, lawyer,
Indian chief-and The Lady
Friend-each and every one of
us is lonely. wistful, rebellious
at fate. And each one of us
feels that this is a unique situ-
alton.
But it isn't. If we were all
skinned and our souls laid out
like so many dried onions, you
couldn't tell one from another!
Which, if you're able to take
it, is very salutary fact. For
there's the answer to all
your own loneliness and be-
wilderment, your bitterness and
despair. How often you've
cried-"IF I could only find
somebody who could under
stand mel"
You can-without turning a
hand-find millions. Millions
who are just as proud and
high-strung, just as hurt and
heart-hungry. Millions whose
misery you might share-or
comfort-and be comforted in
turn by that companionship.
SOLITARY WAY
Then why don't you? Why
don't we all? Why do we go our
solitary way, hugging our sore
souls, when we might pool 'em
all and make party of it? All
there's the catch! WE DON'T
BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT
TO!
What's the fun Of being a
Soul in Revolt if everybody else
is like that, too? How can WE
capitalize OUR sensitiveness If
the other fellow is also shrink
ing flower? Indeed, what be-
comes of all our grand act if we
once admit that it's just part OF
the regular program?
So we don't admit it. We go
on being Souls in Revolt. Revolt
against what? Mostly-1 suspect
against being found out.

In the Virginia Gazette,
which had followed him to
Philadelphia, he had found a
copy of the Bill of Rights
as it had been recently adopted
by the legislature of his native
State. 1t began:
"All men are by nature
free and Independent and have
certain inherent rights of
which they cannot by any
compact deprive or divest
their posterity, .to-wit, the en-
joyment {" life and liberty
and the pursuit of happiness
and safety"
That sounded like sense to
Mr.. jefferson, and he incor-
porated it into the manifesto
by which the Americans hoped
to explain their good cause to
the rest of the world.
Next came the resolution
which his fellow Virginian,
Richard Henry Lee, of West
moreland county, had pre-
sented to Congress on the sew
enth of June of the ever
memorable year of l776, the
one that begins: "Resolved
that these United Colonies are
and of right ought to be free
and independent States"
Mr.. jefferson most heartily
agreed. He used it for his own
purposes.
Next (for the summer was hot
and the furnished rooms of
Ben Randolph. the cabinet
maker, was too stuffy for much
extra labor came several fools
caps which Mr.. jefferson had
recently filled with few ideas
and rotions of his own, and
which he hoped to present to
his native State as part of its
new constitution.
HISTORIC MARVEL
When all that had been done,
Mr.. jefferson took his four
sheets of paper to his good
friend, Mr.. Benjamin Franklin,
the well-known printer and
almanac maker. Mr.. Franklin.

ing the best of health, did some
fine and careful editing and
after II small changes, which
greatly strengthened the whole
of the document. it was sent to
the copyists to be made ready
for publication.
The Constitution of the
United States is a marvel of in
telligence and good, everyday,
common horse-sense. But our
super-patriots forget that it was
not handed down to us amidst
the thunder and lightning of
the Arabian desert. For the
greater part it was writ in the
tap-room of the City Tavern
{: Philadelphia, conducted by a
fellow of the name of Smith.
That it sounds as if it came
direct from Mount Sinai will
ever remain one of the marvels
of history.
