NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SOUR JOKE

There we've two items about WPA in yesterdays
paper which didn't seem to gee. One of them was
the statement in Washington Merry Go- Round that
obviously l,650,O0O WPA workers couldn't be
maintained over an entire 12-month period on only
$500, 900, ,OOO"-which is to say at an avergae
outlay of about 5000 per WPA worker per year.
The other told of the settlement of strike of 20
WPA wheelbarrow puShers in LmcOlnton. this state.
They had accused the government OF making them
work too hard of stretching them OUT at Is
cents an hour.
Now, l6 cents for eight hours work comes to
SIPS a day so that if these North Carolina
WPAers put in five days IL week, they'd draw
S64O And years work at $6.40 week would
come to about $500. But against this we have
Merry-Go- Rounds assertion that obviously" Mes
ser Harry Hopkins couldn't get by on 5000 per
man per year Surely the difference of $3.50 doesn
go for overhead
By no means Were Messer Hopkins to offer
Is cents an hour to WPA workers in the more
populouS politically uncertain eastern states like
New York Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,, he'd have
it flung back in his face. He'd have anything un-
der so cents an hour turned down cold. And the
reason that his 5000 per man per year isn't enough
TO last the year out is solely this that after taking
care of administrative costs and paying eastern
WPA workers a real living wage, there isn't enough
left over to take care of southern labor at l6 cents
an hour.
It's one of the supreme jests of the day, and
we'd lie back and laugh at if the joke weren't
such practical joke and the south its butt.--Char

PROGRESS OF THE LIBERALS

The fine old word liberal" with small "l,'
has been sometimes thrown out of the window by
the Liberal with capital a." To be liberal with
a small "l" meant to strive for progress through
free thought, free press free government toer-
ance. humanenesS, moderation. The liberal mind
was the open mind and the liberal temper was the
middle-of-the-road temper No doubt the liberal
spirit had its blind spots and its dark spots, its in
consistences it's hypocrisies Yet in its very con-
tradictons the liberal temper was human thing,
But the comprehensive label of the new Liberalism
covers men from the radical camps and the revolu-
tionary camps, and they have brought with them
their doctrinaire rgidities and their hard-boled
tactics Formula and cXpediency tend to become
a substitute for the generous human impulses and
the immediate" moral ndignatOns of the old lib
era temper
The former liberal approach to social problems
was the moderate, gradualist approach. The liberal
temper was middle-of-the-road and step at a
time. and Tennyson described its ideal we'll enough
as freedom slowly broadening down from precedent
to precedent But the new Liberal is in hurry;
and being in a hurry he finds himself hankering
for the moral and technical shortcuts which the
dctators employ as a matter of course There are
Liberals who contend that the end Justifes the
means, that cOnflaggrations rae not eXtlngulshed
with rose water, and that you cannot make ONE
lettes without breaking eggS-New York Times

What is the prospect for the American people

it not wasted the peoples wealth with prodlgal

AMERICA IS NO PLACE FOR DIVIDED
LOYALTY
(By BRUCE CATION

The Nazi government in Berlin seems
bent on making life as tough as possible
for people of German descent who no long
er live in Germany.
4 recent blast from Gen. Hermann Goe-
rings pet newspaper announces that Ger
man-blood citizens of other countries must
now become agents of the Nazi social and
economic program. They must abandon
"un-German" points of view, accept the
Nazi ideology and be prepared to under
go all sacrifices and accept full response
bility" in the present struggle of the Ger
man nation.
This, of course, is nothing less than a
demand that all Germans living in coun-
tries like the United States must automati-
caIly hyphenate themselves They must
keep tongue in cheek when they take citl-
zenship oaths abroad They must dilute
their new citizenship, and be prepared
constantly to sell out the land OF their
adoption on orders from Berlin.
That any appreciable percentage of Ger
mans in America will pay any attention
TO this screed is extremely doubtful. The
tragic days of the World War showed that
American citizens of German birth or de-
scent were as loyal as any. Then, as now,
the government in Berlin made things
pretty difficult for them by demanding
that they go down the line for the kaiser
on all occasions: but only scattered hand
full paid any attention.
But the point is that the Nazi govern
ment is committing the same grave error
that the kaiSer's government committed.
A plea of this kind harms the govern
ment that issues it. 1t compels other gov
ernments to be distrustful. In the amount
of ill-will it raises it must inevitably react
against its sponsors.
Furthermore, it makes things bad for
Americans of German descent. America
is a democracy - the very antithesiS OF
everything National Socialism stands for.
Any American who sets out to become an
agent of the Nazi program, as General
Goering urges, automatically ceases to be
a good American citizen. That is so obvi-
Gus that General Goering's plea cannot fail
to cast a shadow of suspicion on German
Americans generally-however little they
may deserve it as individuals.
There is one thing more to be said.
All of us, if we trace our ancestry back
very far, are Americans of foreign de-
scent. If the descent is recent, we are
bound to have sentimental attachment
for the old country. That is perfectly nat
ural, and the most ardent patriot cannot
object to it.
But any American who goes beyond
that sentimental attachment and tries ac-
lively to transplant to this country the ide-
ology of his atherland-especially when
that ideology is a direct denial of Amer
ica's most cherished idealS-is forfeiting
his citizenship. He has no business here
He will sooner or later draw down on him.
self the reprisals of the American people.
And any German-American who is
tempted by General Goering's eloquence
might bear that fact in mind.
