NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THE RIGHTS OF SMALL NATIONS

In and out of the new mantle of statecratt when
the Geneva iooms are weaving runs a colortul
thread no statesman overlookS and yet which few
have had time publicly to identify. This gay threat,
by its persistent recurrence actually gives the gar
ment it's pattern The story il tells is not of the
efficient guns of Italy's advancing armies, nor OF
the retreating barefoot soldiers Of Ethiopia 1t is
not of the logged stand of the British fleet behind
the Ieaoue position nor of Itay's panied shouting
that britain seeks to throw Europe into war. 1t
concerns not even the basic proposition that war
is beino strangIed to outlaw all 1t is the pat
fern of new justice flaming out in world in
which Justice has grown dim-great nations rise 20
halt a great nation in order that lesser people
may have its due.
The Philippians are proud people IN thelf own
eyes, even though not imposing when projected
upon the worlds screen o. these times. Emperor
Halle SeIassie claims to he lineal descendant OF
Solomon the Wise and the Queen of Sheba, while
the Philippians are mentioned by name and Tor
their deeds in the Old and New Testaments. The
Lion of Judah has not by his intelligent, but rao-
bit-like conduct convinced Of the mghtness OF his
roar. Yet Halle SeaSsie and his backward ara
modernly defenseess people are the objects OF the
most complete socitude ever shown race or ma
ton by the family OF nations mere IS actualy ITO
mighty coordination against ltaly-Rather, the
world family suddenly masses itself behind the
proposition that Justice must be the portion even
of the most minor member Of the family.
The plain fact is, things have been happening
at Geneva that seem to reach outside and beyond
any deliberate planning of the statesmen. 1t Is
fairly clear that when the league council met after
Ialy's first savage gesture toward Ethiopia few
felt that the assembly would be voting almost
unanimously to support the covenant against war
and clap on the prescribed sanctions. The sudden
uniting of the nations to espouse the cause OF
small and unimportant power is almost identical
But how significant The world has swung away, as
Italy realizes with dsmay, from all its former ideas
of seizure for conquest The right of the smallest
BECOMES the concern of the mightiest-And that
fact might seem to silence for a moment all the
pessmism in the world.-Christian Science Monitor

AN AUTUMN SEASON UNSURPASSED

The Fall weather in this section this sea-
son is something to brag about. From
weather standpoint no finer Fall season
has ever been seen here. The somewhat
early and heavy frOsts, together with the
accompanying low temperature, spoiled
some of the beauty of the Autumn foliage,
but with that exception it is an ideal sea-
son. Following two or three days OF low
Temperatures the weather has been mild
and at this writing the weather is spring
like, even warmer than most of the Spring
days.
In this section number of Summer resi-
dents have remained for the Fall and their
endowment of the weather and the mouh-
tain scenery in its Autumn glories is evil
dent. A Florida lady, Summer resident
who has been here since early Spring,
voiced the views of many visitors, perhaps,
when she said: IF could have but one
month here, it would be October"
In addition to the Summer residents who
are tarryiSseSSs in this section, many other
visitors have been coming, and the stream
continues to flow Weekend travel into
the mountains has been heavy and visitors
may be seen every day of the week in the
towns and on the highways of Western
North Carolina 1t is worth long trip tp
be able to see the mountain country at this
time and thousands who are coming this
season are returning to their homes might

SELF-HELP

man who refused to give the cash contribution
solicited for a worthy but not indispensable cause
defended himself of the charge of being tight
listed
"Maybe | am a little stingy," he said. II would
like to be thought bighearted and give you the ten
dollars. But know that, in my circumstances, l
had better not l figure my first job is to take
of my family and myself. If we take care of our
selves, no one will ever have to solicit contributions
or pay taxes to support US. So, in kind of back
handed way, am a public benefactor by not run
ming the risk of becoming public charge"
pretty good argument can be built up for that
kind of "selfshness,' assuming the gentleman's sin
cerity. If each family and each community can
manage to be self-reant and self-sustaining, the
larger community is protected to that extent from
greater burdens. There has always been merit in
the selfish "trade-at-home" argument of local mer-
chants, for dollars kept in a community mean en-
ployment, taxable wealth, and higher degree of
sefsuffciency and prosperity for the neighborhood
provided the merchants give value for the dollar,
as they generally do
Widening the circle, even from national stand
point the argument holds Dollars spent within the
United States help more Americans than dollars
spent for imports. Suppose that, as farmers, we
all bought foreign meats, foreign butter, foreign
cotton, foreign everything. 1t would be silly If
that extreme is foolish isn't it sensible to turn the
other way, and take care of ourselves and own
first? That, too might be carried to extremes, but
it strikes as a horse-sense policy
AS between worrying over the rest of the world,
or ourselves, The Country Home believes in the
kind of Americanism that puts the United States
and its citizens frst.-The Country Home.

Il hope all the NRA EN-.

1t always drew Il big laugh
+ +
MO ONE here at this time seems
L to be privy to Roosevelt's plans,
but certain previously known facts
encourage the deduction from the
radioed orders that a cut.to-the,
bone drive is in prospect.
The recent shift of Republican
attack to expenditures and the top,
heavy administrative machine will
be answered by the economy effort,
it cannot be considered to
have caused it.
The big fact is that Roosevelt is
compelled to ask the next session
of Congress for much less than the
eight.billion dollar budget which he
demanded last January. Not long
ago he was hoping to enter the
campaign year with the promise of
an actually balanced budget. Per.
haps he still does.
Thanks to the relief problem.
the only way it seems possible
to achieve even Il technically
balanced budget would be to
save and store up money here
and there i'll the present fiscal
year.
Budget estimates for the 1867
fiscal year could be made on a very
low basis with the realization that
the Congress converting in January,
1887. could vote further emergency
appropriations if necessary.
There's reason to suspect that F.
D. may have some such ideas in
the back of his head, though the
degree of success in taking the gov.
eminent out of relief, the career
of the WPA program, and business
conditions are all pertinent factors,

STOP 1T-oNLY WAY OUT OF AAA SWAMP

When the potato-control bill was before congress-
Triple officials protested that they didn't want it.
The man who had the bear by the tail didn't want
the bear, either.
Wheat, corn, pork and cotton were the only
products the theorists of the original domestic al
lotment plan proposed to regulate. They refused to
believe that if government restricts and freezes the
production of one crop, something else will get out
of balance. Now we have, by the pressure of poll
tics and relentless logic, fourteen "basic commodi-
ties plus which the secretary has issued regula-
tions regarding paper towels and paper and jute
bags Each move throws something else out
Of balance. The process only be ended by be-
ing stopped.
And probably as good a way as any to stop it
will be to try to enforce potato control act which
requires that farmer must-h have license to sell
more than five bushels of potatoes and then must
nail them up in closed contaners-The Country
