This outcome of overspendng and excessive

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE TWAIN SHOULD MEET

With an abiding unemployment fixed some
where in the neighbOrhood of 10 TO II millions oE
a government which is forced to rely entirely upon
estimates there cannot be a labor shortage. par
ticularlv in the field of common labor; but then
there they are, three reports of such shortage
right before us occurring almost simultaneously
and coming. in two of the three instances, from
near enough home to carry local weight and eftec-
tveneSS.
The first is from a more distant point they have
an acute shortage of cotton pickerS in the MlSSlS-
sppi delta area. so acute with the crop beginning
to deterorate that it has been necessary to bring
i'm carloads of MeXicanS TO supply the need
The instances nearer home come one from Hen
Jacksonville and the other from Winston-SaIem. VIA
the Times News it is learned that Henderson coun-
~ has excellent bean crop, that it is at its peak
and that insufficient workers are available locally
TO expedite the harvesting. Consequently hundreds
have been brought in by truck from Asheville,
Spartanburg and other outside points where they
can be found. Our Hendersonville contemporary
raises the question of whether government relief
is responsible for the situation, emphasizing that
large number of people are still on the relief roll
i'm the county and reporting that there has been
no local response to the call for workers in the
bean fields"
A similar situation is chroncled by the Winston
Salem Sentinel as obtaining in the surrounding
rural section. "Haymaking and the harvesting OF
the last curingS of tobacco are being attended by
much inconvenience due to the scarcity of labor
our Twin City contemporary quotes the county
farm agent as saying THE WPA and other pub
lie works projects" the item continues by way OF
explanations have apparently attracted most of the
labor which ordinarily could be secured for late
summer and early fall work the farm"
So there you for observation by President
Roosevelt who is urging transcription of relief

the great tax paying public To what extent shift

rates are patiently aimed at raising, enter reSpec-

WHAT'S WRONG?

The medical doctor was philoSophizing
Everybody is looking for what's wrong with this
country in the wrong place. tt seems to me to lie
in the loss of the spirit of aggressive poneership
"Only the few are interested in attempting any
achievement that requires effort America was not
made by that kind of cattle. 1t was founded by
men and women who did hard work, in rough
weather, died in snowstorms and were killed by
heat because they were everlastingly pressing on
ward"
And he thus spoke parable.
A story apropos comes from Margot Asquith. 1t
tells that at one time she had conversation with
tramp.
"How did you decide which way to tramp" she
asked.
81 always tu,n my back to the wind" answered
Flooding Pete.
"And that's what made you tramp she quick
ly retorted.
"If you had had courage to face the wind, no
matter how bitingly it may have been blowing, you
would have stopped being tramp and become a
man."
| The same goes for modern Americans.
| Too many of them insist too often that if they
go anywhere at all, they must have the wind at
their back.-Julian Miller in Charlotte Observer

THREE GOVERNMENTS IN UNION

In Union. South Carolina, last Monday three gov
ernments were struggling to settle the question or
whether a man should work in cotton mill or the
mill should close. The Union county government
sent the United States government to Jail, and the
state government of South Carolina was rushing
madly to the scene with an olive branch in ITS
mouth. The News and Courier proposed two years
ago or more that the United States should buy
few cotton mills with money from the relief funds,
present them to cotton mill operatives and give
them chance to demonstrate that they can run
mills better than they have been run before. We
now renewed it and urge that the South Carolina
government join teams with the federal government
to purchase the Monarch mills for the people. The
only possible objection to the scheme is that 1t
would diminish the opportunity of the federal and
state labor departments to prove the lndlspensa-
bity of their laborS. The News and Courier is
opposed to any move that would tend to threaten
any officehoder with the loss of his job. As for
the conflict between the Union county government
and the government of the United States, i should
be referred to the League of Nations. The ailment
of this country is that it has not enough office
holders county state. federal to solve its prob

ALLIES STILL BELlTTLE OUR HELP
IN WAR "
lRr BRUCE CATION

Thy BROCE IAl lOD
1t is lust about Is years since the World
war ended. but our late beloved allies have
not yet given up the attempt to prove that
we really weren't nearly as much help 10
them as we supposed at the time.
David Lloyd George, who was prime
minister of England when we went into the
war, is still writing memoirs, and his most
recent volume includes some sharp crlti-
cism of Gen. John J. Pershing.
General PerShing has been criticized by
allied statesmen before now. He wasn't
quite the sort of thing they were looking
for: he had a hard. square jaw, and
mouth that could look like a slit in sheet
of armor plate. When they all rallied
round and began telling him how to run
mis- part of the war, ne had remarkable
faculty for listening quietly and then say
ing mo" i'm a rock-ribbed, eternal sort OF
way.
Lloyd Georges complaint is the same
old one: that PerShing was as stubborn as
a Missouri mule about the idea OF keeping
American troops under American COM
mand, and that because of this fact, 1t
took the United States altogether too long
to make its presence felt on the firing line.
The Lloyd George idea had the beauty
of simplicity. 1t was to feed American
troops right into the British army by COM
panies and battaliOns There would be no
American army, as such; instead, there
would be vast number of separate units
brigaded into the war-worn British divi-
sions. AS fast as our boys got to France,
they could be put to work.
The best mark on Pershing'S record is
the fact that he said mo to this little
scheme, and said it often.
The British high command had spent
two mortal years butting its head into a
stone wall. At the very moment when it
was asking PerShing to turn his American
boys over to its tender mercieS, it was
wasting 100000 lives in the mud-mired
Passchendaele offensive-a strategic gem
for which British historians are still criti-
cizing the high command in the bitterest
terms.
Lloyd George himself did not quite trust
the British high command. He held Brit
sh troops in England in such numbers that
Earl Haig's partisans blame him for the
German break-through of March, 1918;
held them there because he was sick of
seeing the flower of the British army vast
ed in vain, uninspired attacks that were
foredoomed to failure.
And yet Lloyd George now can criticize
Pershing for feeling precisely the same
way!
We owe this lantern-j awed general OF
ours a great debt of gratitude. He stood
like rock against unbelievable pressure.
He held out for the idea that if Ameri-
can boys had to fight on foreign battle
field, they would at least go in under
American direction, fighting for American
detectives.
If he is to be criticized, it has got to be
for some reason other than that.
