NEWSPAPERS OPINION
UMsTEAD BREAKS A LANCE

Hon. William B. Umstead, congressman from
the new sixth district of North Carolina, made his
maiden speech in the house on Wednesday. 1t was
in sense direct appeal in behalf of his own
constituency-and he admitted it-but his remarks
we deem also germane to any discussion of the
federal governments attitude toward the people
of the entire country. o.. q.
Mr. Umstead opposed the senate amendment 70
the post office department appropriation bill pro-
viding for a government-owned furniture factory
at Reedsville, w. Va. Eight other North Carolina
congressman voted with him against the project;
two being prevented presumably by illness, from
attendance. The votes were based on their dstaste
for the entrance of the government into private
industry and especially one which so vitality af-
fects North Carolinians.
To the suggestion that President Roosevelt very
much wanted the factory built part of the
recovery program, Mr.. Umstead responded that
the NRA had been holding a cardinal tenet that
there was to be no expansion of industries already
over-producing If what the government wants IS
a furniture factory Mr.. Umstead offered one at

THE HOME THAT EDUCATES

That rich Mrs. Graham cannot
understand why it is that her
Charles cries and whines for
things until he gets them; while
Dan. the son of the little news
dealer on the corner, goes out
and gets the things that he wants
for himself. She often refuses
Charles things that he asks for,
when she knows they are bad for
him; but he keeps on teasing UNI
til, as she says, she simply has to
give in to him in order to nave
any peace at all.
81 wish he could learn to be
like Dan, and do unpleasant jobs,
instead of Sinking them until
someone does them for him. Even
Dams example, when the boys
rlay together, doesn't seem to
make him a good sport. F-don't
see why the school can't teach
him to be Industrious, the way it
taught DAN"
Mrs. Graham is wrong. The
school did not teach Dan the
wholesale lessons she thinks it
did, and wishes it might teach
Charles. Dams home did that,
just as surely as her home is
teaching her son the harmful les
sons he has learned. The home
begins it's educational work six
years earlier than the school; and
these six years are the most i'm
portant of all, when it comes to
learning.
Why shouldn't Charles tease,
when he knows he can get what
he wants if only he will persist
long enough? Why should he do
unpleasant jobs, when by shirk-
ing them he can get others to dc
them for him?

Well hire the brother to go be-

So the city attorneys brother
was slipped $25; he went before
the board of aldermen in behalf
of Mr.. Hamilton and appealed
from the electrical inspectors de-
cision. The board referred the
matter to the city attorney. The
ciy attorney gave the right an

given the right instructions. A
disinterested electrician, paid
$3.50 to fix the switch, issued
the proper certificate. The power

A COSTLY BLUNDER

The statement made in Washington the other
day by Chairman Mead of the House post office
committee that the government is eager to re-
turn airmail operations to the private companies
'as soon as honest contracts are available is more
than little suggestive.
Although it seems to represent the administra-
tons insistence that the airma contracts were
dishonest and that the government was justified in
their abrogation, it suggests at the same time
ill-eonsidered but than all else that the gov
eminent undertook altogether too big task when
the airmail was almost unceremoniously dumped
into the armys lap with orders to get it delivered
And unfortunately army flyers had to chop
to it' right in the midst of of the worst bits
of weather of rather trying winter with little or
no experience in that, sort of work. with good
deatof ignorance of the routes and what is worse
with rather inadequate equipment.
Our army flyers certainly lack nothing of cour-
age and hardihood. Most of them are expert stunt
flyers But exhibition and practice flights, and
military formations, are vastly different than the
tedious and trying business of getting the mails to
and from the east and west, north and south, in
all sorts of weather.
Presumably the administration should have the
privilege of saving its face in the matter of can

LOYALTY TO A HITLER, A WARNING
TO US
(BY BRUCE CATION

The modern world has not often seen
anything like the spectacle which Hltlers
Nazis put on in Germany the other day.
More than million men raised their hands
and swore unquestioning fidelity to Hitler
"a demonstration of loyalty and discip-
line almost without parallel.
Now, it is easy enough to point out that
Hitler is product of the postwar turmoil,
to recite the sickening list of his party's
atrocities, and to demonstrate that his pro-
gram means trouble for his own people and
the rest of Europe But to do this is to miss
the point. .... ... ....
His recognition by German youth, and
this amazing display of loyalty to his per-
SON, are symptomatic of very great
change that has come over mems minds in
the last few years. z
To understand it, listen to few of the
remarks made at this most recent demon
stration. Baldur Won Schirach, chief of the
Hitler Youth Movement, is speaking. He
says:
"The will of a single man-Hitler-di-
reefs our march. The Hitler youth knows
it has no privileges, only duties. Days OF
romantic dreaming are over We want
young Sparta Voluntarily, the whole OF
young Germany submits to single law
that of Hitler.
i. Cali of us differ in many ways. we are
equal in one thing-we are all ready 10
die for Hitler"
That kind of talk is not listened to o.
men who believe that they are masters
Of. their own destinies. 1t can be applaud
ed only when there is an almost universal
conviction that the old ways of self-help
seIf-determination, and self-reliance are
completely done for.
German youth, in other words, has be-
come convinced that those great old words,
freedom and democracy, have lost their
meaning in the modern world. They have
stopped believing that men can handle
their own affairs properly; henceforth
they ask only to be led, and they promise
in advance to go blindly and without ques-
tioning.
How does that affect us, 5000 miles
aYay?, The answer is clear; it is chai-
lenge and warning. We still have the
blessing of democratic freedom. 1t is up to
us to prove that it still is workable.
Efhe world trend is away from it. If we
cannot save tiff we cannot show that a
free people can meet and solve the great
est of problems without laying aside its
freedom-then it is apt to vanish from the
earth.

QUESTION: Dear Dr. hi'i
con. NV little girl is afraid to 60
~ he'd alone. If l put her down
and leave the room she cries so
hard that she disturbs the neigh
bors, and so l have to go back
and sit with her till she falls
asleep. What can | do to break
her of this crying and screaming!
ANSWER: | am afraid you
have taught the young lady that
the way to get things she wants,
but that you know she should not
have, is to make herself so dis
agreeable that she wins in the
end. I should not worry about
the neighbors; they would great
w prefer few hours of scream
ing, if need be, in order to get
permanent quiet in the end.
QUESTION: | want to speak
to you on very delicate matter.
My boy has a terrible habit,-hls
father tells him that it will make
him crazy if he doesn't stop 1t,
Can you help distracted moth
err?
ANSWER: Perhaps if you
would realize that this is not a
delicate matter at all, but a habit
that is almost always outgrown
with no serious results at all, ii
will help the situation wonder
fully. No boy ever became crazy
as result of it; telling your boy
this nonsense makes him think
more about his habit, and so rem
ders his mastering it the more
difficult. Encourage him to over
come this habit by encourage
ment,-do not drive away nj
confidence by being shocked
when he trusts you and tells you
his problems.
