Sunday was a day of sorrow
for some and a day Of joy for
others. For instance, Mr.. John
J. Kirschenbaum (cherry-tree)
was seen in the afternoon sitting
on his front porch. 1t was easy to
see by Johnny's physiognomy that
he was on the winning side that
day. Not only that but Kirch was
satisfied with that AZ he got on
the first round. sort of made
him feel like old times. 1t seems
that Kirchy and Doc Willie Pen

Russell were the navy because
Melvin goes out on a boat once in
a while. Anyway, when the
smoke of battle cleared the army
had sunk the navy by some three
strokes. Melvin was lost some
where between the first and last
tee on account of he failed to
make his usual 103 strokes. This
time he took one more. must
be slipping or maybe old age is
getting him. .and you should
know that while Penababe got
48 on the first round he came in
with a 43.

ssssssssssssssssssssssss

In the basketball league, the
scheduled doubleheader will be
played tonight. In the first con-
test, the Busy Bee Bakers tackle
the Park Tigers. If the Bakers
win this game they still have a
chance for coping this half, but
if they lose, they lose also all
hopes of winning the second-half
flag. The Tigers won the first
half and should they win this
game. they will have to play the
deciding game with the School
boys next Tuesday. In the night
cap, the WPA quintet will play
the High School aggregation.
The only game the WPA team has
won this season has been from the
ABC club. So, look out, School
boys; there is still a chance of
losing first place. First game
will get under way at 1880 p. m.

LOST IN THE FOG

The New York Times observes that the fog sur
rounding the meaning and application of the Pat
man bil the so-called antichain store measure, IS
as dense as
The Federal Trade Commission, which is to ad-
minister the BILL apparently as uncertain as are
the businesses affected to some of Its provisions.
Purpose of the bill was to prevent price discrlm-
nation by wholesalers in favor of certain retailers,
but so inexplict and involved some of the vital
clauses that no one has yet been able to figure out
exactly what they mean
In conclusion, The Times says:
"There are those who hold that in some cases
the law may work exactly contrary to the way IN
tended, if large buyer claims discrimination be-
cause he is not receiving sufficient discount to al
low for the much lower cost of selling to him as
compared with small buyers.
'These are some of the possible consequences OF
a vague and ambiguous law passed by congress
without adequate debate in an effort to show that
it was doing something for the little fellow"
without adequate debate" puts the situation
mildly = the Patman bill was literally jammed
through in the closing hours of the last session, in
the face of warnings from various experts incud-
ing congressman, that the measure was badly
drawn was possibly unconstitutional and was too
vague.
If anyone thinks that such measure will DO the
little fellow or any other fellow good they are
gullible indeed.-GreenviIIe IS. c. Piedmont.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
GETTING EN- TOLD

To National Committeeman A. D. Folger OF
North Carolina comes from Ambassador JosephuS
Daniels at Mexico City a check for $500 Tor cam
raion purposes with letter accompanying in which
i is stated that the only thing necessary to con-
+inue the Rooseveltian policies for another four
vaars is sufficient money for the national commit
fee to tell the story of the glory of the Washing
+op administration to the uttermost parts of the
country.
Mr.. Daniels may be right; anyhow he's gone
much farther ahead with his proposition than many
another Democrat who didn't receive Sl7,OOO-a-
wear job He may be tithing, for he speaks of hav-
ing already kicked in something directly to Mr.
Farleys outfit.
But as easy as we'd be to get $500 out of if we
had it and though it would come back leading Sl6,-
500 by the hand, we don't believe a shortage OF
funds is apt to be an ament of the national Demo-
cratic campaign. Of course, Mr.. Raskob may sulk
in his tent as result of things said about some OF
his friends; but there are always plenty of folks
ready to buy in on going concern.
Too, while we are wholly conscious and commen-
surately grateful for the effort put forth by Harry
Hopkins, Rexford Tugwell and others to keep poll
ties out of relief and such it occurs to US that
we'd be terribly disappointed and somewhat ag-
erieved if we had spent billions for the benefit of
the forgotten man ana then ne IaHeu 10 reihehioeh
us.
Mr. Daniels as a national committeeman dates
back to a period when the receipt from one North
CaroIinian of 500 5O-cent eHen Confederate,
dollars would have threatened the tn from shock
of perhaps a majority of the national committee.
Times have changed and with them manners.

uaign, Mr. Daniels Everybody has probably been
told, but he's going to be told again.-Greensboro

contempt for party lines when they interfere with
his convictions of truth and right In South Caro-
lima he is admired because he is supporting Roose-

WAR DEBTS HELP KEEP AMERICA
OUT OF WAR
(By BRUCE CATION

CBy BRUCE CATToN)
The famous war debts may be as deao
as q salted herring, but it is beginning TO
look as if they have left some very hVely
ghosts to stalk about the chancelleres Oh
Europe.
II has been several years since all the
European nations except Finland agreed
that there was no sense in paying Uncle
Sam what was due him. Since armies ana
nayies are the only international collecting
agencies that amount to anything, ana
since Uncle Sam obviously was not going
to get that tough about it, welshing seemed
perfectly safe.
Uncle Sam would just have to take it
rather. not take it-and like it.
There was one little thing the American
Congress could do, and it proceeded to do
it with all speed. 1t passed the johnson
act, prohibiting American loans to any for
eign governments which were IN default
on their war debts.
But that looked very much like an empty
gesture. at the time, because nobody was
trying to borrow anything, anyway.
With the passing of the years, however,
the picture has changed a little. The world
depression isn't quite as bad as it was.
Governments are getting into a spending
mood once more.
Furthermore, new war seems to be IN
the cards, and all hands would like to be
able to do a little more business with the
American banks, munitions makers, and
raw material brokers.
Both France and Italy, for instance, re-
Gently found it advisable to seek funds from
abroad; and both nations found the Ameri-
can banks closed to them.
Now it is reported that Great Britain is
likewise interested in getting funds in this
country for its vast rearmament campaign
but the Johnson act stands in Great Bri-
tain's way also.
As a result of all this, rumors are afloat
to the effect that one or another of the
foreign powers will presently be taking
steps to reopen the war debt question.
One report - quoted recently by the
Business Conditions Weekly of the AleXan.
der Hamilton Institute - suggests that
England may devalue the GAG, 100000
pounds sterling of gold now held by the
Bank of England and offer the resulting
profit, some 800, 600, 900, to America as &
lump sum settlement of the British debt.
1t would seem odd to find the war debts
on the front pages again, after we hac
kissed them goodby forever. But it is quite
possible that is just what will happen. D"
fit does happen, there must be at leas
few Americans who will suspect that tn
war debts are worth more dead than alive
Defaulted, the debts stand as a barrie
against our getting financially and indus
trially entangled with Europe which
on the verge of indulging in another world
shaking row.
Paid up-at dime on the dollar, o
some such rate-tfiey would cease to be
barrier, and the way would be open one
more for us to be Good Time Charley TO

The New Deal government in.
creased the Hoover spending by
SO per cent in 1884; by 43 per
cent in 1885; and by 90 per cent
in 1886. 1t created more than so
additional bureaus and agencies.
The nations chief executive
promised to avoid the danger of
a loose fiscal policy, and to set an
example by making the govern
.mcnt solvent. From March q, 1888,
to July 80, 1886, the New Dealers
have increased the national debt
by Sl3,563,000,000, to an all-time
high Of 4,5O0,000,0O0.
Yet in his budget message Of
Jan. 3, 1886, the president said,
THE credit of the government is
at its highest"
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
L promised in his inaugural ad-

he has spent more than twice as
much as the government has re-
ccived, eXpending $24,362 100000
while taking in $l0,832,000,000.
President Roosevelt declared on
Jan. 4, 1885, The federal govern
ment must and shall quit this
business of relief" Today there
are approximately 100000 peo-
pie unemployed, while WPA Ad-
ministrator Harry L. Hopkins esti-
mates that on Jan. l, 1886, at least
100000 people were receiving
relief benefits.
ON Feb. g.. 1884, President
" Roosevelt condemned politics
in relief. Yet New Deal leaders
in politics all over the nation, by
letter and otherwise, warned those
receiving relief and holding .WPA
Jobs to register Democratic or else
lose their jobs.
In accepting his nomination,
President Roosevelt subscribed to
the removal of government from
all fields of private enterprise, ex-
Iccpt where this was in the public
interest. At least 20 government
agencies created since March 4,
