ME who need new shoes and socks, families WHICH
ought to be living in houses with more rooms TAM
| lilies which have not single machine whose work
ing helps that family either make its living or get
more pleasure in life.
And so on the other hand, we have seen farmers
not getting the cost of crop production because OF
what were declared the effects of overproductlon,
mills and factory owners going bankrupt and mill
workers thrown out of even starvation-wage work
for the same reason.
"Over DEVELOPMENT in real estate stopped build
ing and kept more than million men from work.
And so
Yet, "over development in building" left mil
lions of families in America crowded together in
a room or two to the family, in ramshackle struc-
lures which can be neither we'll heated nor decent
ly aired.
The United States has more automobiles than
the rest of the world-and millions of people who
would like cars without any.
We need more electricity, beds, clothes, variety
in diet, medical and dental care and hospital IA
cilities, machinery to help do our work and
equipment to make more pleasing the use of our
leisure-all things which take work to produce or
the earnings of work to pay for.
Cutting production, whether of farm or factory,
cutting working hours, sharing work already going
on these seem to be needful to ease the road oat
of depression.
But the real boost to good times, to times when
the majority of people will live better than
ever before, will have to come differently.
The cutting plan is the near-tne plan.
Longer planning will call for more production,
for giving man even greater power of production
through use of more machinery, for so organizing
that power that the average production per work
err in this country will rise from two and three
times what it is now to dozen and two dozen
times much-so that the great majority Of
American families will be better off than even the
richest few thousands are today.-The Goldsboro

GETTING RID OF THE NRA

When President Roosevelt announced his pro-
gram of economic recovery, the entire country as
sured him of loyal, whoie-hearted support.
Republicans and Democrats worked shoulder to
shoulder in the endeavor to bring the nation back
to plane of sound business prosperity once more,
The NRA-and scores of other alphabetical or
parizations- launched. All of them cooper
ated in the gigantic task of dragging the country
out of the slough of business dependency into
which it had fallen.
No other national executive ever received such
an enthusiastic response and compliance to every
order that was issued 3.
The program has proved an effective one 1t is
serving it's purpose in splendid fashion, but that
purpose has almost been accomplished 1t is this
fact which prompts US to make the following dec
laration:
Just as soon as practicable, the NRA-and
all of its subsidiary and allied organizations
should be disbanded. Their indefinite continu-
alton threatens to be as great menace
their temporary existence has proved bless
ing ' ,.'..r' E" 80 ~
In other words, the MIRA should be considered
as an artificial stimulant and nothing else. A cup
of coffee and-at times-a drink of liquor can
prove to be great revivfer. buff a person
keeps on drinking coffee or liquor continuously,
more or less harmful effects are bound to take
place. @'
There is exactly the thought have in mind
with respect to the NRA program. It has proved
to be a wonderfully effective stimuant, but there
is danger in overriding it.
Permanent prosperity can not be brought about
through continued artificial stimulation. =
We want to see this country return to pro
gram of business procedure where the individual
and not the government-will be responsible for
the success or failure of his own particular enter
prise. The federal government has no right to
maintain permanent attitude of paternalism over
each and every individual business institution or
organization in this country To insist upon such
policy would mean absolutely sitting and curb
ing the initiative and resourcefulness which have
been responsible for our economic progress. ''
At the very first logical moment, steps should
be taken immediately to place the NRA upon a
shelf and keep it there until another emergency
shall arise to justify its return = y 'i'st % =
If the Individual business men of America are
incapable Of operating their own factories, mills
or stores, then Amercanism in its true form has
indeed reached 2 sorry ssttage-The, State,

JAPAN,s NEW THREAT OVER CHINA
IRY BRUCE CATTONl


The picture of international politics IN
the Far East has undergone a considerable
change through Japan's most recent state
ment of her policy toward China.
Or, possibly, it would be more accurate
to say that while the picture remains much
the same, it has an entirely different frame.
Japan sets forth the proposition that she
holds special responsibility to maintain
the peace in east Asia; consequently, ia
pan has appointed herself to see to it that
China's contacts with other powers are of
such nature that they shall not disturb
peace. .r... .&> '" e.
For several years Japan has been edg-
ing toward a Chinese proteetorate. With
this new declaration of policy, that state
seems practically to have been reached.
Look, for instance, at the way in which
such policy can be interpreted.
A Japanese spokesman, discussing the
policy, declared at Toxic that HISTORY
shows that technical or financial aid 70
China almost inevitably becomes military
or political, in which event Japan must
object" ,..r, .,.=-, At.
A good many Americans are engaged in
giving technical. or financial aid to China
right now. Many American aviators are
there, for instance, selling airplanes and
teaching the Chinese how to use them.
. All these activities could easily De
classed as the kind of aid which might be-
come political; that is, they tend to unity
and strengthen China, and the jealous
statesmen at Toxic might decide at any
minute that they should be stopped.
One does not have to mediate over this
very long to see that the Far Eastern stu
alton has taken on an iominous new aspect
The one encouraging feature is that in re-
cent months the. japanese seem to have
grown DESTROYS Of getting on better terms
with the United States.
We can only hope that that desire will
lead Toxic to moderate the application of
this far-reaching and dangerous new
policy.

DID YOU KNOW 1T?

Well, well, well, so you and and cur neighbols
of Eastern North Carolina are going to take part
in tearing down slum section in Atlanta and re-
building it more nicely.
You didn't know that?
It's simple. The government (federaD is going
to put the money out 1t is going to put it out for
the Atlanta project of wrecking sorry houses,
just as it proposes to put out more in other big
cities. n's's
The money put out by the government may
come at the moment from borrowing Or from de-
valuation of the dollar. But, by whatever route
it comes, it finally comes from the people
So-you and and the rest of US are going to
pay for putting up some better houses in Atlanta.
Wonder if there is any chance to stick the rest
of the country for some better houses on Eastern
Carolina farms, for some better homes for town
renters?-Goldsboro News-Argus.

About everyone not completely fool knows
that a lot more milk could be drunk and used in
cooking in Eastern North Carolina with benefit
to the health of growing children and also that CT

The same condition exists in some other parts
of the country.

And let us not forget that
there are other purposes of Sun
day than recreation or that rec
reation is to be found otherwise
than by amusements of one kind
and another. One of these is rest,
primary design of the day. Do
we consider the need Of rest on
the part of those who furnish us
our amusements? For our pleas
ure shall We add to their labor on
the day Of rest?
But Gods main design for the
day is that man might find spirit
ual rest and recreation through
worship, our spirits or souls or
selves needing it as well as our
bodies. Unless the day of wor-
ship is preserved, there will be
no worship; and without worship,
faith dies; and without faith for
life's trials, we are hopeless and
in despair. 1t is a well-known
fact that the Sabbath and re-
ligion stand or fall together.
France tried abolishing the one
day in seven and had to restore
it in self-defense. The infidel
Voltaire said, 81 despair of de-
stroyin@ religion while millions

counseled his followers to begin

ing contemplated is working in
that direction.

AN OPEN SUNDAY

Editor, Inc IlmeS-NeWS:
While our aldermen, all of
whom l count as my personal
friends, are to be commended for
not pursuing the questionable,
not to say tricky tactics of the
powers that be in our sister city,
in. rushing an "open Sunday" or
dinance. through at one sitting,
they must admit that they have
given Sabbath breakers a long
and unfair advantage by passing
on first reading an open Sunday
ordinance without giving the gen
eral public due intimation that
such move was imminent. While
/ believe that Sabbath observance
is one Of the solid foundation
stones on which our splendid re-
public Is built and whose absence
would create a decided weakness
in the structure, / am also we'd
ded to the principle that the ma
iority should rule. Hence l am
hereby suggesting to our city
governors that they hold up. this
proposed ordinance till they can
learn the will of the governed.
This could be done in either of
two. ways. First, it would cost
little to add a box at the pri-
maries in which every voter may
vote for or against an "Open
Sunday" Second, notice could
be given that petitions for and
against an "Open Sunday" would
be given consideration and that
interested parties would be al
lowed two weeks or longer in
which to secure signatures to
such petitions, which should be
signed only by qualified voters
of the city. or perhaps of the
township. Let the people have
a fair and square deal, and may
the right prevail.
Respectfully,

did not know, though we read the

consider the Sunday ordinance
being enacted and did not have
the opportunity to express our
views on the matter and / for
one am using this method. l know
personally the mayor and COM
missioners and think we are un-
usually fortunate to have such a
fine body of men as our govern
ing body and am confident that
they wish to de"what the citizen
ship desires. :
As to the argument. that we
must follow Asheville's example
in order to compete with her in
the tourist business, do we think
of the fact that's while some
would prefer an "epen Sunday"
there are doubtless many times
more people who come to the
mountains who are against an
"open Sunday for themselves
and for their children? And who
thinks that anybody much would
