Lieut.. Hays, Butts Artillery liaison

not on our own men.
All Hays mounts had been shot
under him. There were no more horses
to ride. He had to walk, and finally a
shell fragment got him. He was borne
away-but he had won the Congress

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
STARTING POINT

The current number of North Carolina WPA
It's Story" comes to hand at most appropriate
moment, just when it can be used to supply an
answer to a question with which the Washington
honorables are about to wrestle again.
The question, as you've doubtless guessed, is as
to the need for further relief appropriations and
how to reduce them. Congressional leaders are OBJ
viOusly bothered, caught SQuarcly, as they are be-
tween the devil of increased taxes on hand and
the deep blue sea of decreased WPA funds on the
ether. Precisely where to begin or what to do is
occupying practically all the head-scratchmg that
can be spared from the court controversy.
And right in the midst of celebrations comes Mr..
Coan's publication, one of those high-prced jobs
on linen paper packed full of photographs and art
work. frontispieccd with smiling portrayal of the
state director himself, and bearing the imprimatcur
of private printing house. How much it cost, de-
oonent darcth not estimate; but it is obviously high
class work. 1t appears regularly, too, and along
With it come to the editorial desk an even more
elaborate publication from the national WPA at
Washington and from the District of Columbia
WPA directors office. Presumably each of the
states has an information office that functions sim
ilarly.
So there you are, MesSieurs Hot-andbothcred
Congressman. Just how much you might save in
the realm of needless propaganda we do not know.
AS the taxpayer feels it, we'd say quite stable
sum. As Washington appropriations go, it may not
seem so much but, after all, it's the grand total
of little savings that really counts. And don't men,
ton it. gentlemen; your appreciation, if any, will
be judged by your action.-Greensboro News.

FEAR AND POLITICAL FUTURES

We almost dare assert that majority of the
congressman and senator's are opposed in principle
and conviction to the presidents acknowledgements
plan!
But the best opinion is that they will vote for it.
Mr.. Farley says they WILL at any rate, and Mr..
Farley has neat way of telling the public be-
forehand how congress will rcact-as if it were
no more than pawns in his hands and shadows only
to puppets!
OF course it is only in the senate that there is a
ghost of chance to defeat the proposal.
The lower house will heavily vote for it, although
even in this branch of the legislative body it may
be that majority opposes the plan and wishes
there were some way to avoid having to be stood
up and counted on the question.
Why is that?
Well, largely this, congressman are reelected or
defeated every two years whereas senatorial terms
run six years.
This means that some congressman are simply
afraid to vote against the court issue because OF
the rcprisals that might be practiced upon them
few months hence
In other words, successful politics works on the
expediency of You scratch my back and I'll
scratch yours" and, in this immediate case, that
means that unless congressman scratch the admin
istrations back the administration may claw the
congressmen's backs.
Hideous, isn't it?

Favoritism vs.. faith!-Charlottc Observer.

WHEN THE lockwood is IN BLOOM

The dogwood trees are in bloom. Spring will
soon be with us in all its glory, bringing into bloom
many other wild flowers as well as the cultivated
varieties. Woods and fields and yards and gardens
will have breath-taking loneliness.
Let us all enjoy the dogwood blossoms and the
other wild flowers to the fullest. And in our en-
ioyment let us remember that the eyes of others
as we'll as ourselves are charmed and their spirits
uplifted by such sight dogwood in full bloom.
Let u.s. then, be jealous for the protection of this
beauty so that all may enjoy it.
The way to protect the beauty of dogwood BIOS

Suppose everyone broke off and made away with
dogwood branches then woods would be strip

1t does seem that everyone by now should know
that dogwood is pretty only on the trees. Yet
every year there are those who break off dogwood

Although it has sometimes been

about those weapons or their rela-

But it has been demonstrated at

of the Madrid population by inten-
styling the anger Of the people,
Madrid is the first large city
ever to sustain such a severe at
tack from the air and it was never
possible TO be sure as to these
points before. The effect might
have been different had the poison
gas bombs been dropped, but the
experts here say poison gas is not
very effective in a city, that it is
hard for planes to achieve con-
centration in a gas bombardment
and that it is relatively easy for
citizens of a city to protect them
selves from gas. These conSidera-
tons, rather than any Of human
ity, are believed TO explain the
failure to drop gas on Madrid.
On the other hand, the appar-
emily low morale of Italian troops
in Spain when under severe at
tack has also impressed American
military strategists. 1t is believed
that Mussolini failed to "whoop

and the people made to get busy
on the basis of no-work-no-cat.
Within three years the colony was

The failure of communism in
early Virginia was not due to lack
of authority Of the leaders. Those
early governors had all kinds of
authority. The trouble lay in the
absence Of personal incentive and
personal responsibility. No au-
thority can take the place Of those
two impelIing forces. One might
think that if communism would
work anywhere it would have
worked in the Virginia colony cut

its members dependent on each
other, with the promise of build
ing magnificently together. If
any set of circumstances could in
Spirc people to succeed under
communism, it would seem that
the conditions in early Virginia
would have done so.
The trouble with communism is
that it partakcs of the nature of
slavery. The members are more
or less in the position of working
for somebody for nothing. And
there arc persons who won't work
for anybody for anything if they
can help it. OF course men can
be driven to work, but the driven
worker is Il sorry worker. Slave
labor is the most expensive of all
labor. That is why the Yankees
sold their negro slaves to the
southerners who hadn't had the
long cold winter nights to sit in
front of the fire and figure costs.
