Then to add both food element

There are several ways to make

pURGING THE ROLLS

newspaperman reared in the country was
shocked considerably some time ago when on a
visit to relatives, he was informed that the family
of we-known citizen in the old home community
was receiving aid from the relief agencies. The
family one of the largest farms in the coun-
ty, fertile and highly productive; the farmer has
always been what the country people call "weIl-
TODD, and members of the family are remunera-
lively employed.
If the Public Opinion letters are to be given
eredence, great deal of this is going on through
out Northwestern North Carolina.
Such practices seriously hinder the work of the
relief forces and doubtless operates to the dsad-
vantage of those who really are in need. Then,
too, it provides the government with false set of
statistics 1t makes the economic situation appear
worse than it actually is, and it results in the
waste of public -Winston-Salem Journal.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
A. F. OF L. IN POLITICS

The American Federation of Labor, having been
unable thus far to win administration support for
its universal thirty-hour-week demand, now pro
poses to bring political pressure to bear, somewhat
after the manner of the Anti-Saloon League to
secure its objective.
1t informs all candidates for seats in the House
and Senate that it will pass out the word to its
members not to support them unless they pledge
in advance to vote for thirty-hour-week legsla-
tion and certain other measures desired by organ
lied labor If, them the Roosevelt administration
should take the position-as it seems quite likely
to do-that the blanket thirty hour-week would be
economically injurious and should oppose it, we
should have the American Federation of Labor in
a political fight to overthrow the administration
Judgment on fundamental and politico-economic
issue.
The Federation at any rate, is already in the
position of demanding political action to accom-
plish of its pet detectives, regardless of what
the administration may think about its wisdom,
and of seeking to bring pressure upon prospective
members of Congress to vote at its dictation even
though they may have to go directly contrary to
the position of Mr.. Roosevelt.
1t is conceivable, of course, that the Federation
might be able to force its pet measures through
Congress in this fashion. It's membership embraces
only small minority of the population of the
country but it has the advantage of being one of
those wel-organized and militant minorities whose
power over Congressman has already been demon
strated in other instances. One seriously doubts if
anything like the majority of the American public
favors the forcing by Congressional action of a
thirty-hour week in all industry; but congressman
are usually timid in the face of a we'll organized
movement to rob them of votes. Even should the
measure 60 through, however, it is still just pos
sible that the courts may find that there remains
enough virility in the Constitution to prevent it
from being made operative.-Greenville News.

"RELIEF" EXPENDITURES CAN BE
REDUCED

No good citizen of the country is OPP
posed to relief for those persons and
families who are actually in need, but in
telligent and informed citizens, who keep
their eyes open, read the newspapers and
know something of what is happening
throughout the country, are convinced that
the relief needs of the United States have
been greatly exaggerated. 1t is case SIM
liar to the efforts made during the depres-
sion by interested persons to make the
number of the country's unemployed APP
pear larger than it actually is. The differ
ence is that the quoting of large figures
does not increase or decrease the number
of unemployed, but the padding of relief
rolls with the names of persons who are
not in need adds materially to the costs of
relief" .-. e., 49,. ..
The matter was impreSSively forced
upon the attention of the editor of this
newspaper in an adjoining State In
county where large percentage of the
people are engaged in agricultural pur-
suits and where there is an abundance of
food Tor man and beast and vast quaint
ties of all farm products, in excess of local
needs, are being marketed for fair prices,
there is large relief" office, with a num-
Der of persons employed, and evidently,
considerable sums of money are being ex-
pended.
A resident of the county, thoroughly
familiar with countrywide conditions,
made the statement that it is practically
certain there,is not family in that county
that could not get through the coming
Winter without relief" and without 60
ing hungry or suffering in any way. The
needs of the poor in past years have al
ways been met in this county without out
side aid and this would be the course to

SOMETHING TO FIGHT OVER

tonishing undertakings, so many
sharp departures from the old
methods, the established systems
and the accepted traditions, that
there is no lack of something to
talk about and to get excited
about. For a year. those who do
not like the New Deal have kept
rather mum. There wasn't much
to say and they hesitated to say it.
Conditions had not been so de-
lightful before the New Deal got
going that even the most con-
firmed reactionary could look be-
hind him without feeling himself
in danger Of turning into a pillar
Of salt that had lost its SAVIOR. The
people were in no frame Of mind
to be annoyed with DIRECTORS, con-
scientious or otherwise.
Lets go somewhere" the peo-
pie were saying. "We're perishinG
where we're standing"
The New Deal meant going
somewhere; into what, nobody
knew. Some thought they knew.
Some were confident that the GO
ing was good, and that the objec-
tives were better; others felt
otherwise, but they had nothing
better TO offer.
When you see a man energeti-
caily and sincerely trying to rem
edy a bad conditions while you
haven't any better proposition to
submit than the one he is work
ing on, you can not squawk con-
sistently. You may be sure he is
wrong, but what are you going to
do about it? You may yell: "That
isn't the way to put out the fire, y
or "That isn't the way to stop the
epidemic" or "That isn't the way
to start a balky horse" But you
will sound like somebody holIering
in rain barrel unless you have a
substitute plan for getting some
thing done right now.

for the sunrise. Whoever can get

day but for the knowledge that tederal
"relief" is to be obtained, and as it IS pub
lie money, some people believe that all
who can get it are justified in doing so.
Undoubtedly the condition referred to
in the foregoing paragraphs prevails IN
many counties throughout the United
States. There are thousands of undeserv-
mo nersons on the relief rolls of the
country, who are burdening the agencies
charged with helping those who are &C
tually in need of assistance, and who are
adding to the enormous expense of the
federal and State governments and local
governments engaged in 'relief'' work.
Expanding the figures and exaggeratlng
the relief demands of the country is
first class way to discourage people who
are not on the relief rolls and to retard
the progress of business. Business recovery
is scotched in very effective way by vast
expenditures for relief, as the people who
pay the country's taxes realize that their
burdens are piling up every day.
If rigid rules were adopted and rigidly
applied it would probably be found that
large number of the total of persons re-
ceiving relief could be dropped from the
rolls. The federal government has made
the mistake of shouting by radio, through
the newspapers and in other ways for Civ
ing the matter publicity, an invitation to-
get on the "relief" rolls that it could not
expect thousands of people to ignore. If
Uncle Sam has the cash and is going to
spend it for relief they propose to get
their share, regardless of their actual
needs or ability to take care of themselves.

up over the horizon, hurrah for
him! We will all be for him.
In the meanwhile, the question
before the house, ladies and gen
tlemen, is this: as the New Deal
the best way out?" There is plen-
ty of room and opportunity for a
sure enough lineup in sure
enough debate. -,
Intelligent, energetic debate is
good. 1t stimulates thought and
energies the mind.
1t won't hurt for the constltu-
ents of both of our major political
parties and our independents, pro-
gressives, reactionaries, standpat-
ters and what have you, to have
their thoughts stimulated and
their minds energized: we are go
ing to need a lot of that kind OF
thing in the business of being a
progressive, prosperous nation
which gets its taxes from content
ed taxpayers.

But today there is glgantlc
subject for national political de-
bate-the New Deal. Will it WORK
or won't it work? Is it good or IS
it bad? The outstanding question
before the country seems to be
tearing up party alignments. Dem
ocrats and Republicans are get
ting on both sides of the question.
Strong convictions in the minds
of honest men are compelling
them to step this way or that: I'M
polling prejudices are making
others stand pat, while itching
palms are inclining others to face
this way OF that or two ways at
once.
Is the New Deal a forward
movement, q sidewise movement,
or a backward movement? Will it
life the nation up or will 1T push
it down? Will it help capital
Will it help labor? WILL it benefit
the people? Will it be- permanentl
