ards-these are all facts, and for years
now, they have overshadowed the
other unquestionable advantages Of
capitalism: The fact that it has been
accompanied by greater amount of
political liberty, civil rights. oppor-
tunities for the especially fit, and has
produced more wealth than the world
could once have dreamed Of.
But the MARKHAM answer to the
problem is based upon premises which
have been demonstrated to have little
political reality The Marxians propose
the appropriation of capital, either
by force or by law. and hope to
achieve this by the organization of
the non-owning classes, into class
conscious party. They have argued
that the non-owning classes are the
overwhelming majority In any coun-
try; that they will naturally attract
to themselves the classes whose own
ership is ephemeral and unreal-the
debtor -class in any economy, notably
the poorer farmers-plus the salaried
intellectuals whose discomfort is sup
ported by intellectual awareness. A
struggle will be organized by this
numerically superior class, and with
the instruments of democratic repre-
sentation, and the power to cripple
capitalism by the strike, they will
capture political power.

The principle appears to be per-
fectly logical, but the fact is that it
simply has not worked. even given
the most favorable possible circum-
stances. Those favorable circumstances
are: Economic depression with conse-

lima history who once fought for
States rights.
One thing has been drilled into the
minds of the political rank and file
in this State and that's party regu-
larity. Whether one agrees with the
New Deal or not, it is essential in
North Carolina that the Democratic
party be followed almost blindly, lest
damage ensue. Thus in 1928 a num-
ber of Democrats deserted the party
when AL Smith was the nominee, but
they were promptly ostracized. Today
even the business men who may Sc

don and may even vote that way,
would hardly shout it from the house
tops. They want to retain their in
f1uence within the Democratic party
on account of questions that arise in
the State Legislature, questions of
business regulation and taxation that
might easily find them the victims of
studied indifference or refusal were
they to abandon their allegiance to
the dominant party in North Caro-
lima.
Rumblings Beneath Surface.
Some day all this may be changed
and men may fight for their party
and principles openly and with full
recognition of the risks involved. In
fact, even today, North Carolina
shows rumblings underneath that do
not augur well for the future of the
New Deal party. The abrogation Of
the two-thirds rule at the Philadel-
phia convention has not been ac-
cepted with any degree Of enthusiasm
since it means the squelching of the
power of the South to veto choice
for presidential nomination as here
tofore.
I feel confident that North Caro-
lima may be voting for Mr.. Roosevelt
out of a sense of gratitude, but it is
certainly not giving him blank check
for the future. 1t will reserve the
right through its spokesmen to ques-
ton the wisdom of New Deal philos-
ophy when it borders on centraliza-
ton or when excessive expenditures
threaten the credit of the Govern
ment or the integrity of the dollars
purchasing power.
There is strong undercurrent of
protest which will demand retrench-
ment in the Federal budget.
Outwardly, North Carolina is going
along with the President because Of
a faith that somehow he will man
age to steer the country through its
future crises as successfully as in this
section he is believed to have done
in past crises. So the viewpoint Is
one of retrospection without much
worry about the future. And If the
New Deal departs from fundamental
conservation too abruptly or too wide
ly, there will be a protest amounting
to revolt on specific measures. Not
all the electoral votes, therefore, that
are to be cast for Mr.. Roosevelt on
November 8, constitute blank check
| mandate. North Carolina expects to
have something to say about how the
check will be filled out if Mr.. Roose-
veIt is reelected.

than 200 or 300 machines.
The American airplane factories
are not on a war basis. Before they
can deliver airplanes to foreign coun-
tries they must first take care OF the
huge orders placed with them by the
United States Army and Navy. They
also must deliver a number OF large
machines TO the Pan-Amerlcan Ar
ways for the China route and a sub
stantial number of machines for the
American airlines. In addition 10
this. certain foreign countries. Yugo-
slavia. for instance, placed relatively
important orders some eight months
ago. After all these orders have been
completed they can begin to deliver
the large number Of scouts and bomb
ers the British air force needs. And
that will take some time.
The British have decided to speed
I'D their aerial defense because they
have become convinced that war
is inevitable some time next year.
Their factories are working at top
speed, but that is not sufficient. Even
taking for granted that all their
plants have been put on war basis
and are working "a hours a day in
three eight-hour shifts, the British
Empire cannot be ready to match the
Italian, the German and the Russian
air forces within less than 10 months.
This is the reason why the procure.
| nent department of the fighting
forces are endeavoring to place orders
abroad. Sweden and Holland have
received important orders. But these
countries. too, have to give precedence
to the needs of their national defense
The war departments in Holland and
Sweden learned their lesson during
the last war. They were caught un-
prepared when the conflict broke out.
