The whole secret of making q

little of either virtue-and what
an enormous price we pay for
our short-sightedness!

If in the above named community

on paper a profit of a million

yet actually the community would
not have made a cent of net prof

way the community could make
a profit would be to make sales

come in.
The only way the United States
can make any profit is by making
sales outside the United States at

Americans have with Americans

pieces of paper representing dol

increase the profit or the income

IF THIS BE DEMOCRACY

If President Roosevelt could be counted on to
depart in the next four years as radically from the
1896 platform as he did from the 1882 platform,
it would be good one. Otherwise, much as it IS
to be regretted and much as it was to be feared,
the 1886 Democratic platform indicates not the
slightest intention on the New Deals part to back
up, slow up or pay up. 1t promises only more and
more of the same BIZ.
What more and more of the same is, the plat
form leaves no doubt. 1t means, first of all, the
continuance of and unavoidable additions to that
vast octopuS-like parasitic growth in Washington.
1t means the continued assumption by the federal
government of responsibilities that were better left
to the states and the localities and, best of ALL to
the people themselves. 1t means higher taxes on
top of higher taxes 1t means the further subordi-
nation of the sovereign people to celestial power
that created itself and is about to perpetuate itself
| 1t means that the business transactions of the
country must clear through Washington, there to
be subjected to an diversified discount for the bene
| fit of the politicians.
The Democrats, in short, have gone all the way
progressive-progressve in the sense that they are
determined to extend the reaches of centralized
govrnment into the innermost recesses of the pri-
vate domain. The mention of ''the concentration
| of economic power in the same breath with Gre
publican rule and privilege" is particularly unfor
tunate 1t is, too the keynote to the whole preten
tious arch, for what the Democratic platform con-
templates is an unheard of concentration of eco
nomic- power. In, the hands of benevolence, such
an instrument might be used with discretion though
never without excessive cost. In the hands of the
Republicans or Coughnites or of some uprising
up-and-at-em third party, the super-government
Mr.. Roosevelt is determined to erect could become
a tyranny. We continue to prefer earlier American
models Charlotte News = .,u ~. ,

| Harry L. Hopkins staff confer
ence by radio on May 20 intimat-
ed a great deal but revealed much
less as to what may be in store
i for WPA workers.
The wage scale will be adjust
ed so as to be in tune with wage
rates in the community, as was
the case with the deceased ERA.
This will not make any radical
changes in the schedule Of the av-
erage worker, mostly unskilled, in
Henderson county, probably a
little reduction in hourly wages.
ability and willingness" to work
will probably play a big hand in
reorganizing the set-up.
The criticism against the fail
ure of the WPA to cure unem-
ployment is causing the officials
to smart under the collar because
comparatively few relief cases are
known to voluntarily find other
work.
BY grapevine telegraph the
word comes that the whole WPA
working force from the relief
roles is in for serious shake-up
"a culling out and eliminating
process for reducing the work
roll. The feeling prevails among
officials that if WPA workers
would exert themselves rs thew
used to they could do fully as well
working for private interests as
they are for Uncle Sam, and re-
lieve the taxpayers Of the burden
and complaint they are now MAX
ing over the situation. Press dis
patches indicate little disturbance
of the present working personnel.
Since ERA died in December
there has been no process for get
ting new cases of need on the
payroll. They have been placed
on the commodity roll to receive
limited food and clothing but not
on work list. The new set-up
will take care of this. The State
Board of Welfare will select the
needy and deserving cases by the
case worker process, as was done
by the ERA. The case worker or
certifying officer will certify or
recommended such cases for work
to the WPA. The certifcation
machinery has not been perfected
in Henderson county but the pres
ent set-up is due to end with the
passing of the month of June.
The state headquarters of Pub
lie Welfare prescribes rules and
regulations and qualifications Of
the certification officer, by what
ever name or title he or she may
carry, and the local officials must
largely foot the bills. And this is
not always a popular part to play
paying the fiddler when you
don't have much range of choice
in selecting the orchestra.
This same machinery, it is I'M
derstood, will operate to take care
of North Cardinals sharing in the
social security program, which is
not functioning in high, as yet.
If the county or. city employs
workers in conformity with the
social service requirements, the
question is naturally asked: Is it |
worth what it will, cost? Could |
city and county get along without
it? What would be the advan-
tages? Would the present ar
rangement be terminated at once, !

limited STATES MIGHT TRY PLAN OF
GEN. MACARTHUR >, A ~
(Bv BRUCE CATTON)


Gen. Douglas Macarthur, who quit be-
mo chief of staff for the U. 5. Army TO pc
come military adviser to the PhihppEtn ms
Government, reports that he has devised a a
foolproof military defense plan for those
jittery islands. -, .,.. :,
Under this plan, the Filipinos Will spend
$4,000, 900 a year for 10 years. For tins. TINS
money they will get fleet OF small, 1Sast'
coast-defense torpedo boats, an air, corps
Of fast bombing planes, a regular army OF
moderate size, and highly trained army
reserve corps that could be mobihzed
quickly. ,.,.....
Some of his remarks on the uses OF this
military outfit are worth listening to. For
the general starts by saying that his plan
completely negatives any possibility OF
employing the army in aggressive action. :.
What the Filipinos get in the way OF
fighting machine wiNhave to be used sole
" on the islands and in their immediately
adjacent waters. They will have to night
at home or not at all. 49,.
But, adds the general, for home fighting
the machine will be Incompatible. Indeed,
he believes that it will make the Philip
pines as nearly impregnable, from a mill
tary standpoint, as any nation can nope TO
be.
Neither blockade nor invasion, he IS con-
fident, could prevail against it.
Now, if the general knows what ne IS
talking about-and his reputation IS that
of an exceptionally brilliant soldier - 1T
might be smart idea to call him back to
America and tell him to cook up similar
scheme for his native land.
For the general woul dseem to have hit
upon an idea that war-frightened world
ought to welcome with open arms, to wit
a defense armament that can't be used Of
fensively.
The big trouble with the world anna
ment race is the fact that no such device
is at present available.
Nations A and B, let us say, are heredl-
tary and traditional enemies. Nation b
having been invaded twice within living
memory by Nation A, builds huge army
and navy to attend to things if third IN
vasion should develop, and no one-leas'
of all Nation. A-can blame her.
But the trouble is that, having built tins
army and navy, there is nothing in the
world to keep Nation B from turning mn
around and using it to invade, harass, ane
otherwise bedevil Nation A. 80. 's,.'
So Nation A must build to meet thu
menace; and Nation B, in turn, must bulle
some more to insure its own security; .ane
Nations C, D, and X must prick up then
ears and build to protect themselves
against both Nations A and Band yol
have as vicious and STRENGTHENING spl
raj as the mind of man can imagine.
If perfect security can be gained in th'
manner General Macarthur proposes
supporting = force which is effective onl!
on defense-the world would like to knoy
about it. 49,.
