NEWSPAPERS OPINION
CAUSES AND CURES OF DEPRESSION,

"Nobody in the world knows exactly what causes
depressions, not even senator's or army oHieerS'
says Neil Carothers, professor OF economies -
Lehgh university, in an article IN the Ne" iorN
Herald Tribune magazine. The economists, WHO
do know quite a lot about depresslons, admit that
they cannot isolate the exact cause. Ihey Kho"
that it is not the gold standard or the stock ex-
change or farm prices or the rich grinding the
faces Of the poor. In fact, they know there IS l."
one cause but combination.
"Depressions do not originate in non-capitaiistic
countries such as India Economic breakdowns al
such coutries are reactions to depressions in capt.
talistc countries. Do not hastily conclude from
this that capitalism is failure. The non-capitast
countries have chronic misery and recurrent fam
ines. The awful spectacle of children starving II
death by the thousands is to be seen only III
China which has not developed capitalism, and in
Russia.
Just as they hesitate to assign specific cause
for depression So do the economists refrain from
proposing patent They know that the one
cure is that one remedy for all human ills-time.
Trying to force recovery by statute is like
standing up in saboat and blowing on the sails.
The speed of the boat is determined by forces
outside it. :"
1t is natural that we should attempt to abnor-
rnally force recovery and it is almost inevitable
that such efforts should largely fail. Economic
laws which are as old as organized government
cannot long be rcumvented-precisely these
laws make depressions they eventually present Us
with the cure. No one conversant with the history
of the country believe that it will not pull
itself out of the dodrums-but natural not arti-
fetal forces will deserve most of the credit when
that is done.-Monroe Enquirer.

It's right OF way, TWO thousand
feet wide. will be beaTtified and
controlled by the federal govern
ment. What the project actually
means is that there will be created
a national park four hundred miles
long and two thousand feet wide,
with superb highway running
through the middle Of it. 1t will
avoid cities and will follow a
course of natural scenic beauty.
Sixteen million dollars has been
appropriated for the project but
it will probably cost more. The
route of this highway from the
Shenandoah National Park thru
Virginia to Blowing Rock, North
Carolina, has already been agreed
upon. But Western North Caro-
lima and Eastern Tennessee are
having a lot to say about the
course this Incompatible highway
should follow from Blowing Rock,
North Carolina, to the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park.
at should leave North Caro-
lima at Blowing Rock and cross
over into Tennessee" declare the
East Tennesseeans. "Our scenery
is equal to yours and more So"

Westarn North CarOlini \ n {.

sELF-cENsoRsHIP FOR RADIO. SONGS

Why didn't somebody think of this before =?
Doubtless it has been though of many times, and
talked about too, but nothing had been done about
it until recently. Considering how strict the GEN.
sorshp of radio stations is, in regard to certain
words which, unfortunately, have become too COM
mon to occasion much surprise or create any great
shock when heard in conversation, it is surprising
that practically attention has been paid TO
the grossly suggestive and maudlny erotic songs
with which crOonerS burden the ether and affront
their more decent listeners. Perhaps it is not so
separate words than the ideas and situations which
they convey. The stupid presumption has general
ly been that if song contained no word which,
taken by itself is taboo in polite society, then the
song must be all right. Reused to action by the
crusade against indecent movies, committee Of
orchestra leaders and radio singers has been form
ed to clean their own house. That is exactly the
way to go about it. Some of the names on the
committee among the best known in the bust
ness, such Rudy Vallee Paul Whiteman and
Guy Lombardo. They will perhaps not be super
sensitive to mild ndelicacies, but even so they car
If they will, do more to improve the character f
radio songs than could a committee Of high clergy
backed by. an act of congress. The committee Is
to examine all new songs each week. If the lyric
the title is offensive the publisher will be asked
to revise it. If he does not, the song will be
banned, and most of the orchestra leaders in the
vicinity of New York have agreed that songs
banned by the committee will be banned by them.

coin submitted an important ques-
ton to his cabinet. All the men,
bers voted "aye."
"No," voted Abraham Lincoln.
Then he added humorously and de-
cisively, "The noes have it"
Abraham Lincoln was a great
man. He constantly sought advice,
but sometimes rejected all advice
and used his highly developed
Dumps of wisdom, knowledge and
understanding.
Secretary Ickes, who does not
play politics, but who always in
tends to decide questions strictly
on merit, will have the final say
so as to the route of this parkway
which will stand through the ages
and rank with the historical high
ways of the old world.
This superb parkway when COM
pleted, will mean so much to the
entire nation that Secretary Ickes.
busy as he is, would be justified
in taking sufficient time person
ally to inspect the proposed routes
and to satisfy himself as to which
will best serve the whole people
of the United States in recreation,
scenic beauty and grandeur. And,
if Secretary Ickes does personally
inspect the proposed routes, the
parkway will pass into the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park
through the glorious peaks, the
smiling valleys, the dancing
streams, the shimmering water
falls, the gorgeous vast natural
gardens of rhododendron. azalea
and mountain laurel of Wonder

A SEVENTH WONDER
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

f"There is no scenery east of the
Rockies equal TO that in Western
North Carolina from Blowing
Rock to the Great Smoky Noun
tains National Park. There, too, is
one Of the greatest Fairgrounds in
America. Even you East Tennes-
seeans come to our wonderful
mountains and valleys when you
! feel the need of vacation and re-
| juvenation."
As a matter of fact this great
federal highway should be regard
ed as a national project, not as a
state project. North Carolina
should not be considered. Tennes-
see should not be considered. Only
the benefits Of this nation today,
tomorrow, a thousand years hence
should be considered.
This highway is not tri-state
proposition. 1t is a United States
proposition. 1t is primarily a
scenic highway and it's route
should be laid out ior scenery, as
contemplated in the congressional
act.
Where the finest scenery is to
be found, there this great high
way should 90 after leaving Viz
ginia, be it all or none in Tennes-
see, or al or none in North Caro-
lima.
But a committee appointed by
Secretary Of Interior Harold l..
Ickes, to recommend the route for
the parkway, has recommended
the route desired by East Tennes-
see. Perhaps this committee is
looking at the parkway in the
smaller, narrower sense Of the
benefits to North Carolina and
Tennessee rather than in the big
ger. broader sense Of its benefits
to the nation.
Every now and then a great
+ man rejects the advice of az OF
his experts and his friends and
uses his own judgment. 1t is be-
cause he is great that he does
! that.

SHALL WORK BE CRIMINAL?

Were the thirty-hour. week in cloth factories
fixed by the law, and thirty workers should install
machines in their cottages and then engage in
making garments another thirty hours a, week
what would be the effect on the garment-making
industry?
What if 10000 cloth-makers in South Carolina
went into the concentrating business, on the
side? Would the garment-makers elsewhere have a
grievance?
If five or sixty thirty-hour week cloth-makets
combined to erect and operate filing station, the
men working in different shifts in the mill and
staggering the employment at the station, would
not the competition be rough on other operators of
filing stations?
Or. if cloth-makers- purchase, small farms. pro-
ducing upon them most of the food for themselves
and their families, is it not competition with other
farmers and with grOcers? Some of the cloth
makers are now operating farms. They will rap
idly multiply, The News and Courier hopes.
Is it the "plan" of the planners that men and
women ambitious to work more than thirty hours
a week shall be forbidden by law to indulge the
ambition?
Should a thirty-hour a week man be sent to Jail
if he wrote book,in competition with authors?
In a week are 1913 hours, and when thirty are
subtracted, 1888 remain.-Charleston News and

SEA HORRORS REFLECT ECONOMIC
PRESSURE
(By BRUCE CATION

(By BRUCE CATION
If Bruno Hauptmanns SO bills had not
led the police to his door just when they
did, the investigation into the burning Of
the MORO Castle would have been front
page news longer. And if it had, we might
have been forced to recognize the fact
that something is badly out of gear in the
~ machinery of ocean transportation.
For it is futile to suppose that the MORO
a Castle tragedy will be cleared up if the
- exact cause of the fire is discovered, or If
this or that officer is deprived of his ticket.
The whole case is just one more symptom
of bad situation which seems to extend
to all maritime nations these days.
There was delay in sending out the
sos, there was confusion and lack of dis
cipline among the ships crew, many lives
7 were lost that might have been saved. =.
These are the grave charges that have
, been made.
They don't apply to the MORO Castle
alone. They were true when the British
= ship Vestris went down; they have been
true of other postwar sea disasters.
And they reflect pressure which eco
nomic circumstances have put on the an
, cient business of carrying passengers
across the sea.
- The captain has lost his, old indepen-
dence The home office is, or can be, in
- touch with him every minute by wireless
the temptation to save their money and
reputation by deferring to the very last
minute call for help is almost irresistible.
For if the captain issues call, and then
discovers that he could, after all, have got
his ship through unaided, his head is apt
to come off when he reaches portland
every captain knows it.
Furthermore, a ship makes no money
lying in port. For this reason the turn
70 around is quicker now than ever before
: Ships spend little time in port between
: yoyages-crack liners, very often, are at
their piers only few hours between one
voyage and the next.
AS result, it is hard to keep crews.
Sailormen like their shore leave. Person
mel of the ships company changes from
tIiP W LIlp-SO luSE1Lduly Su--
fers, and the necessary emergency drills
fail to result in a smooth, perfectly work
ing machine.
+, Add to this the fact that, passengers
nowadays want ships to be super-hotelS,
with fine panelling in the cabins, much
S2im-craekery, and the like. Because of
this, steel ships are fitted with flimsy, in
t|Aammable passenger quarters-and. be-
come fre-traps where they might be fire
proof.
Now all this creates situation that is
4 no ones fault. 1t is the simple product of
