OF SHIPS IN

A new Treasury policy designed
to get ship operators to cooperate
in the Governments drive on mar
cotic smuggling was announced
yesterday by Secretary Morgen-
thau.
When officers and operators in
form customs and narcotic agents
they suspect dope is being SNUG
gled on their vessels, the coopera,
tive action will be considered in
the fixing of fines against them,
Morgenthau explained.
Morgenthau has discretionary
authority to impose on ship own
ers a fine of $25 an ounce for
dope found aboard their vessels
In some cases the fines could run
into many thousands.
Under the new policy, Morgen
thau said he would waive the fines
If convinced the officers and
operators turned over information
to Government agents.
In line with the new policy
Morgenthau revealed that had not

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
WAGES AND JOBS

Mr.. Homer Martin or other leader of the organ
lied automobile workers in speech the other day
said that there is no reason why the manufacture
ers of automobiles should not pay their employees
annual wages of $4,000. 1t may be so The News
and Courier is in no position to dispute it. Ac-
cepting it as true our advice would be that Glenn
son college, all other colleges and the high schools
in South Carolina abolish all their present courses
and substitute for them a course in automobile
work. Thus trained the youth might earn $4,000
each. That is much more than the earnings of the
average doctor, teacher farmer, preacher, bank
clerk, salesman merchant in South Carolina II
by organizing the farm labor and other labor In
South Carolina the average income of the worker
could DE raised to 81 900 a year The News and
Courier would advocate it, 1t would advocate any
thing that would do that So long as the incomes
of the employers will not Justify it, it is nonsense
to talk about it. Were the wages of all its work
ers" not including Salaried executives, doubled all
the industries of Charleston would be shut down.
and every man and woman employed in them would
be on relief If all the houses, stores, lands banks
and other properties in Charleston be worth S7O,-
OO0, 900 and were they divided among 10000 peo-
pie each person would have 1000. How long with
out work would that support them? The city would
be entirely deserted in two three years. Were
the average wage of cooks in Charleston raised TO
50 week and meals, three-fourths of the cooks,
probably four-ffths, would lose their jobs-The

Colonial authorities today had or

religious cult in Mois province of
Indo-China that wOrshipS a giant
python rs its god and is convinced

FAR MORE SATISFACTORY

As far the American people are concerned 1t
will be far more satisfactory for the Duke and
Duchess of Windsor to remain on the European
continent at the present time than to visit America.
In the first place, the readers of American news
papers will have much less to read about discredt-
ed royalty than would otherwise have been the
case. And in the second place, we think the for
mer English king and his bride might spend their
immediate future to better advantage than to make
a so-called housing and industrial tour" of this
country
The former king and his bride no doubt very
much bored over their present situation. The
glamour and excitement of royal life and activity
are missing. Passing time without some definite
program is not conducive to happy life.
If the former king had been so much interested
in the happiness and Improvement of others why
did he not remain in position of influence and
Importance and through his exalted office work

discard his robes of Office his responsibility to
family and nation, and break into the privacy of
another home and steal the affections of woman
once divorced but still married?
The duke and his duchess hardly have satisfy
ing life before them, it appears to us. Wealth and
position they will have regardless of the abdication
of throne. But mere wealth and prominent
place in the public eye will not bring the satisfac-
ton of life so much desired by all.-Rock Hill

There is the new deal trick and we sub
nit that it is fairly slick trick and one
calculated to fool many of the people
much of the time.
This newspaper earnestly approves of
and believes in the principle which is sup
posed to be the cornerstone of this old
age pension system. We think all intelli-
gent. thrifty citizens believe in it. The
trouble in the case under examination is
that the new dealers never placed the cor
ner-StOne in the structure. In fact they
failed to build any foundation whatever
under it. They are slapping the structure
together on the sands of political uncer-
taiuty and trickery.
All of which, and many more facts that
could be cited, convince this newspaper
that the so-calied social security plan is
merely smooth trick, which the new
dealers thought would have a strong "hu-
manitarian" appeal to the American peo-
pie, and would enable them to get their
clutches on billions of tax money which
would otherwise have to be MIXED from
the tax payers by more clearly obnoxious
methods.

WTASHINGTON.-The possibility
" of an exemption from the cap
ital gains tax for profits made on
new housing construction has be-
come considerably stronger since
these dispatches first reported that
this device COR stimulating build
ing boom was being considered by
the administration.
Into the secret discussions OF
this proposal has come the further
suggestion Of tying it up with a
move to deprive the income from
government securities Of its tax
exempt status. Sentiment for this
step has been growing for a long
time and it is now argued that 1t
would divert billions Of dollars,
now ia tdX-eXemptS because
they're taX-eXempt, into conStruc-
ton if profits in shat field were
now to be freed from income tax.
There is some fear as to the
effect on the government bond
market and the Supreme Court
would have to reverse an old de-
cision if it were to hold that in
come from government bonds was
subject to income tax.
Proponents of government slim
ulation of a private capital hous-
ing boom are piling up arguments.
