II is true that Governor Landon
eooperated with the New Deal to the
best of his ability. So, with devotion,
faith and enthusiasm, did the over
wbelming majority Of all the people.
And many, like Landon, regretfully
and disillusiOned, abandoned it only
when they found It was not eo-Ordi-
mated, that Il was fighting at cross
purposes with itself, that a frightful
extravaganza and lack Of efficiency
attended its administration, that its
implications we're rapidly becoming
menacing to the American theory Of
life and gOvernment-and that II
was falling dismally of its purpose,
To such great objeetives as the
establishment of social security, the
support and restoration of stricken
agriculture, aid for the aged. the in
firm, the unemployed and the desti-
tute. both candidates and both par
ties stand committed.
And so-"Why changer"
There are, we think, reasons.
One is to open to these detectives
sOunder and wiser plan of APP
proach, and to secure a more econ
omical and efficient administration.
Another reason is to strengthen
and encourage the free enterprise
of the land, which, out of wages,
salaries, dividends and production,
must be able to stand up under the
heavy taxation that will be neees-
sary to support these obieetives.
President Roosevelt has a Tendez-
vous to battle with the private en-
terprise of America. The bitter war
fare between government and indus
try grows steadily more uhsparing,
with the result that all new enter
prise is discouraged, and idle capi-
tai and idle credits mean idle mil
liens of citizens.
There is reasonable hope that un-
der Landon this warfare may be
terminated and that enterprise and
government may find a way to CO.
operate for the breaking of the log
lam that retards recovery and makes
security" a matter of public char
ity.
We believe that the purposes that
are fine and sound which President /
Roosevelt espouses can more surely I

And already rumops are afloat that
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau short
ly will suggest another conference en-
the subject with every prospect that
London and Paris readily will accept

The nub o. the aro1lnuent is that

their respective cuprencias upon such
a mutual basis as to put an end to
violent fluctuations in exchan&e rates,
but that they cannot accomplish II
by their recent bargain alone: the TN

the way for the debtor folk to claim
the right to liquidate their loans In
cheaper kind Of cash than the sorts

Raleigh, Oct. 3 (AP)-A marked
scarcity of skilled workmen exists in
North Carolina, officials of the Works
Progress Administration, State En-

tractors and industrialists said today.
George w. Coan, Jr., State WPA
head, said his district directors were

penters and brick masons and when
found the men usually were 40 years
of age or older.
William Muirhead and Company,
building contractor, with work now
under way in seven or eight places
over the State, said it had been fore
ed ito do lot of juggling to get
enough men" to carry on nearly all
types of work requiring skill and
experience.
George w. Coggin, supervisor of
the trades and industries section of
the vocational education department,
said he had also received many re-
ports of a scarcity of skilled labor il
industries.
There Is apparently no remedy
available now, COggln SAID, put IN

hopes to teach industrial fundamen-
tails to 1000 boys in 40 public schools
this year and to reach also some T.

students in commercial classes.
Next year, under the George-Deen

gin said, Federal money available for
the purpose would be more than
doubled, and he expected to double
