BLESSED ASSURANCE

Washington in its wisdom and benevoence sees
fit to bestow gesture of clemency upon business
and industry The government will next year bal
ance its budget-maybe. Congress at its next ses-
sion will be permitted to refrain from revising tax
rates upwards There is assurance that there will
be no increase in taxes but this is not to be taken
too literally for the blessed promises with respect
to the budget and the rate are plainly predlcated
on continuance of business, meaning more taxes
at the same rate.
1t seems reasonable to accord considerable faith
and credit to these commitments looking to a
breathing SPELL Our Washington government is
not without its realistic convictions. The law OF
diminishing returns is not unknown to it, or II that
law as stated by the economists is not strictly APP

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
PUBLIC BUSINESS

One of the charges which the critics .haye leveled
at Dr. Rexford G. Tugwell, the ADMINISTRATION
No. brain truster has concerned his alleged aver
sion to freedom of the press, his interference, II
given the opportunity, to curtail said freedom and
his imposition, wherever it in any wise served his
planned cause, OF censorship.
The Daily News has made and makes now no at
tempt to eyaluate these charges But there is sub
mitted in connection Herewith and for whatever
bearing it may have on the situation the present
case of Homer H. B. Mask, director of Resettle7
ment Administrators region four, with headquar-
tiers in Raleigh, whose resignation has been mystic
rously requested and whose official position is
about to be assumed, as this is written by George
s. Mitchell, described by the Raleigh News and
Observer as a "young Virginian who has been an
assistant to Rexford G. Tugwell in the Resettle-
ment Administration in Washington"
What's back of the change, none of the, CORE
spondents have yet been able to discover 1t is our
Raleigh morning contemporary, from vantage
point at the regional ringside, which records:
MASK returned from Washington yesterday but
declined to discuss the situation except to confirm
the report that his resignation had been requested
He spent Friday in Washington and was in con-
ference with Tugwell for several hours, but the
nature of the grounds for his dismissal remained
shrouded in mystery" The Daily News holds no
brief for Mr. Mask. Nevertheless he had been in
charge of the regional activities for year, or
since the RA began major operations and to all
outside appearances was moving along satsfac-
torily with the task assigned him. On recent visit
to Greensboro he discussed the program intrusted
to him in detail and with familiarity which be-
spoke results. For 20 years he has been associated
with various agricultural activities in North Caro-
lima, and his years experience with RA, inaugural
ing its program hereabouts, must be worth some
thing
In the light of these considerations, friends and
acouantances in the Old North state have every
right and reason to ask how come his present dis
placement 1t is public business with which you're
dealing, DR.. Tugwell, and the public, which toots
the bills surely has inalienable right to know
about the operating details, even to personnel OF
its own affairs.-Greensboro News.

A SELFISH SPIRIT STIRS THE
RABBLE-ROUSER
(By BRUCE CATION

The term ''rabble-rouSer' isn't supposed
to be a compliment. But when the Rev.
Gerald L. K. Smith addressed Natlonal
Press Club luncheon in Washington the
other day he admitted the eplthet had oeeh
applied to him-and he glOried in 1t.
Mr.. Smith explained himself like this:
ooh, know" he said. IF you say the
flag you are a rabbIe-rouser. The very
first reference to the Stars and Stripes
makes you a rabble-rouser.
"And never refer to the Bible. IhatI
makes you a demagog, and rabble-rous-
er. Never reach down where people pray.
Never reach down where people are SIN
cere. Stay out where people are smart,
drunk, and sophisticated. Stay with them.
Then you are somebody"
Mr.. Smith makes an eloquent plea and
makes demagogy sound like high and
holy thing. The only trouble is that he
forgets that the spirit in which you do a.
thing can be a good deal more important
than the thing you do, .r' -.
Getting down and appealing to the sim
cere and humble emotions by which peo-
pie live is not solely trick of the dema-
cog. Lincoln was past master at it.
The American Revolution was fought
largely because such men as Patrick Henry
and Samuel Adams had the same knack
Bryan could do it, and so could Theodore
Roosevelt, and both men occupy honored
places in our history. a...- ..
The thing that stamps man as rab-
ble-rouser and demagog is. the. fact that
he appeals to those profound and magniti-
cent emotions for his own ends. He does
not really care whether the high asplra-
tions which are evoked by his appeal to
those emotions are fulfilled or not; he has
an AK to grind, and his appeal to those
emotions is just his way of getting some
one to turn the grindstone for him.
The tragic thing about the demagog's
work is the fact that he arouses force
which could move mountains, and then
turns it to his own selfish ends. g4
For the human race, mean and weak
and confused as it often is, nevertheless Is
capable of magnificent things. It has the
power anu The uSFOlSl1 dIl(l; IHc SCL1-ooSAt-
flee to work miracles {. 4. the faith that can
move mountains if only the right, ap-
peal be made Fhe force is there, waiting
to be put to work. p ia- +
Now and again man arises who car
unleash that power. who can demand thai
men live up to the best there is in them
and when he does, the wheel of history
makes another turn. But it is not a game
to be played lightly. a.!
A selfish man can unleash the same pow
er only to debate it, can rouse men to the
pitch, where they can transcend themselves
only to lead them into. some swamp, sucf
as Hitler has created in Germany.
1t issnet words that make the demagog
1t is the motive back of the words-tht
soul of the man who utters them.
Mr.. Smith deeply mistaken if ne thinks
that any inteliigent man objects to an ap
peal to the emotions of the mass. The 90
lection is to the use which is made OF those
emotions once they are fully stirred.

The people and cannot be trusted.
That was doubtless effective in
certain areas until Pats friends
resurrected a story about Bilbo.
Early in 1884 Bilbo complained to
police in Memphis. Tenn. that his
parked automobile had been
robbed there.
