THE RADICAL" STRATEGY

If you read radical" magazines and the writings
of radicals" and ''liberals,' do you observe
that they urge this government of to go on
spending and borrowing. They do not think the
deficits are large enough. They place all their en-
phasis on the needs of the unemployed and they
howl that the wages paid by government to WPA
workers and the sums given for relief are niggard-
ly and mean.
What they really seek is the breaking up of this
munism, they call it "collectvism," for the present
system. They wish to destroy capitalism and profit
making. They want to destroy private property.
They would MAKE it a crime for man to own a
car or a home.
Their plan to accomplish these things is shrewd,
reaches the point that it cannot pay its obligations,
imitation on great scale will follow. Initiation and
bankruptcy are much the same thing. The usual
sequel to them is revolution of one kind or an
other.
Were The News and Courier Communstic
newspaper it would insist that the congress vote
to the president in January another four billion
dollars, that it extend the public works program,
that it expand federal relief.
From their point of view the strategy of the
radical writers is sagacious and sound So far they
have had great assistance from the congress and
the Roosevelt administration. There are signs that
Mr.. Roosevelt and some of the Statesmen" are
opening their eyes-but they want to be reelected

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
MAKING THE AAA PERMANENT

Southern Agriculturist, Nashville publication
} for farmers of the South, is encouraged by the
Presidents statements to the effect that the AAA

II halls the announcement meaning that a
permanent agricultural policy, the first in our ma

It is plain enough that if the enemies of the
present national administration propose to get any

Obliged to excuse the American farmers from the
professional of onslaught.
They prefer to be counted out of the phalanXes
that are hurting their nvectve and bitter criticism
against the Presidents policies
One will raise an Interrogation point however,
as to the wisdom of pitching the hat too high IN
the air over the establishment of permanent
agricultural policy" that is launched out from the
theory of plowed-under form of prosperity.
The present AAA program is adapted to provide
an agricultural economy of limited supply. That is
far more questionable procedure than the aspect
of control that is associated with this policy.
America is so set that in respect especially tn
it's farm possibilities, it ought to sail under full
steam and not on an impaired or restrained motive
power.
As temporary expedient, the present agricul-
tura device stands up.
There was no market upon which to dump the
farm surplus and the farmers who made the stuff
were about to swoon into bankruptcy account
of their excessive productivity.
1t was expedient that the government should step
in and assist in keeping the American farm pre-

TAR HEELS DON'T BORROW MUCH

The people of North Carolina have done as much
and building as the people of other Sec
lions but they have paid cash for the most of it, ac-
cording to Miss Cora A. Harris, field representative
of the Federal Housing Administration Miss Har-
ris says that the national officials of this organza
ton little worried that North Carolinians hare
not borrowed money and were of the opinion that
little was being done in this state. She told them
of one city in which the people had paid cash for
more than IS per cent of the building and remod-
cling, and in the whole state it has been necessary
for the people to borrow less than one-thrd of
the cost of work done. O.
'0ur diversity of farming and industry has been
largely responsible for this condition." says Miss
Harris, who is well pleased with the response ct
the people to the objects Of the organization which
she represents. The work has and is being done
the unemployed are finding work and materials are
being sold and used and that is what was wanted
more than the lending of money.-The Mecklen

We are doing pretty well po-
litically in this country, consider
ing that for a hundred and fifty

that adventures, outlaws, and
malcontents from other lands
flocked in on US. For, long time

should empty our penitentiaries
on the Hawaiian islands, and
chase our gangsters over there,
we could expect them and their
progeny to raise the deuce with
those lands for many a year.

the story Of the man who was on
