NEWSPAPERS OPINION
STOP THE LOSS OF SOIL

It is great thing for the State of North Caro-
lima that the county agents, the federal authori-
ties and the IVA are all grding their loins to
fight soil erosion The wealth and prosperity OF
any people depends upon the richness of the soil.
The rich topsois of North Carolina have been
washing off and running into our rivers at rate
that threatens the prosperity of the state.
1t is startling to read the statistics OF ne num-
Der of acres of land hat have been rendered I'M
profitable by the loss of soil. Each one OF US has
seen deep red gullies, ard hillsides half washed
away. But there is a loss that is perhaps even
worse than this That is the loss of the best soil
off of thousands of acres. The erosion survey OF
the North Carolina mountain section, conducted by
the Department of the Interior, reveals the start
ling fact that the total severely eroded gull
lied and abandoned is 25 per cent of the entire
area. One Million six hundred and fifty thousand
acres is found to be severely eroded, quilted, or
abandoned.
The only hopeful factor in this situation is that
the mountain section of North Carolina is sec
ton where vegetation grows profusely if given 2
chance, and the situation is not hopeless because
with care and attention vegetation can be started
on these eroded lands. This is problem that af-
fects most of our farmers individuals Nearly
every farmer in Western North Carolina has some
eroded spots on his farm. This problem, like SC
many others, can only be solved by the effort OF
thousands of individuals, each putting in time and
effort to restore his own lands.-Federation News

country is to endure The Christian home
| is the foundation of Christian civilization.
We hear much discussion today of the
needs of the country, much talk about it's
problems, many remedies suggested for its
ills. but it is certain that the greater part
of the country's troubles and difficulties
would never have come upon 1t at all II
the civilization originally founded upon
the Christian American home had not, ~
a large measure, failed. 1t has broken
down. What the country needs, as out
lined in the resolution of the South Dakota
Legislature, is restoration Of conditions
which can only come as the fruits OF the
Christian home.
The South Dakota body calls upon the
people of that State to return and take
their stand for the principles of fundamen-
tai righteousness, for the development OF
conscience and morality, for truthfulness,
honesty and respect for the rights CT
others. What platform of sound Chris
tian teaching and Americanism! What
platform for distressed and cropping hu-
mainly to climb upon and there renew Its
faith and courage and enthusiasm for eter-
nal principles of spiritual and civic right
eousness
Dr. Little does we'll to point the people
of our State to the call of the leaders o.
South Dakota, call which ought to be re-
sponded to in all of the 48 States. II the
leadership of the country does not meas
ure high enough, however, in this time OF
stress, we may expect to be disappointed
in the action of the masses; and our fear
is that most of the leaders have failed us,
lust as millions of those who preside in the
homes of the country have failed. Let us
hope that the real leaders of the country,
the men and women Of character and cou:-
age, those who stand for righteousness in
the State and in the individual, will sound
the call and go before the people as they
retrace their steps to the altar of the Chris
tan home.

TOWNSEND A POOR ADVOCATE

After reading DR.. F. E. Townsend's remarks b =
fore the house ways and means committee it is
impossible to escape the conclusion that the Cali
fornian very materially weakened his case for a
large pension fund for persons over sixty.
1t Is very evident from his remarks that DR..
Townsend cares nothing about how the plan is to
be financed; indeed, he said he did not care. His
admission that morality has nothing to do with the
plan but that business and commerce is everything
will not strike a responsive chord.
His swapping answers were more those of a
man not entirely sold to his own proposition than
of devotee having unlimited faith in his pro-
posed panacea
Asked about the cost of administering his PEN
sion plan he said: 'Im not interested in the least
in the cost of the PLAN" Congressman Doughton
replied: I'm sure of that l just wanted to get
an admission of that kind in the record"
Quizzed about the difficulties of men past sixty
spending 5000 monthly, the Californian said: Let
him kill himself off. Let him spent it on anything
ne wants-whiskey or anything else. That's imma-
terial It's business and commerce are interest
ed IN. We are not concerned with morals
Another idol has put forward his feet to reveal
they are of clay. The cost of the plan is the most
important thing about it and morals still play a
big part in the progress of the race .~.
DIR. Townsend's threats that this is the last con-
gress elected in the dynasty of the old order of
things are idle. A new order may emerge in
America but it will be an order that is based upon
common sense and morality will have a higa
place in that order, too.
| Any plan that cannot pass the pitiless test of
! praetlcalty will not get very far. Bad tempered
answers to the committees questions react entire
ly upon the one who makes them DR. Tovnsn5

OLD PRE-VAR
DIPLOMACY
BEHIND PACT
Aerial Accord OF MutuaI
Assistance Victory; for
Stanley Baldwin
By HENRY F. MISSELWITZ
United Press Foreign Editor
Copyright 1885 by u. P.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-(UP).t
The most important feature of
the Franco-British accords an
nounced in London is their aerial
pact of mutual assistance. ?
1t means that the British.
frightened by the growing aerial
strength of Germany, have been
forced at last definitely to aban-
don their policy of avoiding all
possible European entangie-
nents.
For the first time since the
World war, the British agreed to
Frances demand for tangible
guarantee of practical assistance
in time of war. France had been
demanding this security guaran-
tee for more than Is yards.
The realization now, however,
that the British Isles are ex-
tremely vulnerable to aerial at
tack from the continent has
caused an abrupt about-faee by
Prime Minister j. Ramsay Mac
Donald, the erstwhile pacifist.
Stanley Baldwin, conservative
party leader in the cabinet, has
been in the forefront of cam
paign to bring England into CO.
operation with France and Bel
'gium on aviation. He has pound
ed away for months at the idea
that Britain's frontier no longer
is the chalk cliffs of Dover, but
the German Rhineland-and de-
manded that the government seek
an understanding with France
and Belgium to use their air
bases for British planes in event
of war. s"',,- o"
Hence, when the French pro-
poosed to pool their air forces if
one of the signatories is attacked
by another, Britain agreed. 49,
The air pact and Britain's
agreement to hack up France and
Italy in preserving Austria's in
dependence and consult if that
integrityis endangered, are two
long strides in Britain's new pol
icy of full collaboration in the
new balance Of power on the
continent.
The London accords indicate a
return to the old pre-war balance
of power diplomacy which the
French for months openlN" have
been engineering. France is con-
WINGED peace can be assured only
by balancing one interest against
another. And the British at last
have agreed they may be right,
and are willing to sit in on the
same game. g. ="
Germany may. be expected to
adhere to the air pace and even
the Franco-Italian pact of Rome
guaranteeing Austrian independ-
.e'nce, although in the forthcom-
ing negotiations Adolf Hitler

work-relief bill ought to be

cally," Couzens explained.
Diligent shopping produces
evidence that if the idea is to be
carried out, the populace will be
treated to a spectacle akin to a
Nazi or Russian purge.
Couzens said he understood the
real authors were Ben Cohen,
chief counsel for the National
Power Policy Committee and
probable successor to Ferdinand
Pecora on the SEC, and Donald
Richberg, whom you all know.
But Cohen had nothing to do
with the bill and Richberg mere
ly gave assent at a conference
which considered 1t.
THIS astonishing me asure,
l. which in effect gives the presi-
dent five billion dollars to spend
at his discretion, was born some
where between the Treasury and
the Budget Bureau-which are
like ham and eggs since Director
Lew Douglas quit the latter-and
was then passed with great Sc
crecy around the town. Quite a
few changes were made.
Harry Hopkins had an early
crack at it. He called in a cele-
brated New Deal legal wizard,
who helped him make a couple of
rattle: minor alterations.
You can be sure that when the
bill left Hopkins it had no refer
ence to security" payments, the
bills term for the controversial
low wages to be paid on work
relief jobs. That part was insert
ed later, at 'Roosevelt's insistence.
The bill was passed on to At
torney General Cummings, Secre-

tary Ickes, and a few other fel-
lows. Even the celebrated DR..
Tugwell mulled it over.
Finally it got back to the Treas.
urya building. There Sect etary
Morgenthau, Admiral Peoples,
and Budget Director Bell had a
semi-final say on the measure as
it then stood, with the White
House itself giving the last okay.
CRITICISM from among those
~ helpers is directed not so
much at the bill as at the appar-
emily hazy White House idea that
the relief problem can be solved
or eliminated by a four-billion
dollar work relief scheme in
1856. On the basis of expla-
nations from the White House,
few believe it can.
AS for the furore on Capitol
Hill, except as it relates to wages
and grudges against Ickes, one of
the New Dealers who worked on
the bill says:
"Of course it's bad bill, If you
think it grants far riore power
for spending and rejiggering than
any one man should have.
But we have to choose between
the president and pork and who
will say, except in Congress, that
we should choose pork? Tossing
that four billions to Congress to
spend was thought too awful to
contemplate"
THIS idea gains strength from
L the simple fact that in the SEN
ate, where the bill has gone after
passage by the House, the opposi
ton is unco-ordinated and no one
has yet thought Of a plausible al
tentative.
