THE sIT.poWN STRIKE

We have now the sit-down strike. Men in con-
cert quit work. but refuse to leave the shop. The
st-down strike may become the showdown strike.
We wonder if it be permitted in a republic?
1t would not be permitted in any colectivist regime
that has ever been heard of. The communist col
lectvist state tells men and women where, when
and how they shall work; not only that, it tells
them they shall work. The fascist colectivist state,
while largely experimental as yet, with little of
absolute technique, may allow more option as to
working, but it tolerates conspiracies whatever.
In either of these modern forms of society," group
of men who without government direction might
decide to strike and sit down the premises would
probably be invited to move out to an adjacent
wall in front of firing squad. 1t is not permitted
in any capitalist regime, where the right of pri-
vate property still exists 1t is permitted in France
which is at present neither fish fowl, but can
hardly be continued unless France decides to be-
come an anarchy.
Who's to decide whether it is to be permitted in
the United States Of America? The impression
grows that all decisions of Importance are to be
referred finally to Mr.. Roosevelt There are still
however, the courts. But whether the question can
be got to them or not or whether they may be
able to dispose of it not, we think there is no
doubt that it must be answered by somebody; and
we think it is probably necessary that it be an.
swered without delay.-Greensboro News.

LIQUOR REPORT is INCONSISTENT

The committee for state liquor study which made
its report few days ago was, to say the least,
inconsistent.
The committee recommended that a "model bill''
for consideration in the next legislature would be
for the sale, but not for manufacture, of whiskey
in North Carolina.
We can see no reason for not making the stuff
right here in the state if it is to be sold. The big
gest hue and cry of the vets is the loss of revenue
so if that be true, then why not eat the whole hog
instead Of just sopping the gravy? Grow the corn,
grind it, cook it, bottle it, sell it, drink it, and act

it entirely alone. IF it is a cash commodity 1--WE

VIASHINGTON--It Usually hap
w pens that the more sensations
a Senate investigating committee
digs up, the more surely certain
interests are to seek TO suppress
the investigation.
This has been true in the cases
Of the Teapot Dome, Daughcrty,
munitions, lobby, Wall Street,
silicosis and labor spy-civil lib
critics investigations. 1t is true
today of the inquiry into railroad
finance and reorganizations being
conducted under Senator Burton
K. Wheeler of Montana.
The committee has betn diScloS-
ing such bizarre little secrets Of
high finance as how fellow with
$4,000 might get control Of railroad
and other properties valued at
$4,000, 100000, and how one great
road is alleged to have cooked"
its books with the result that in
yestors and the RFC lent it money
under a misapprehension as TO
facts.
The story of how it was ar
ranged that one man could buy
control of S375,000 and its accom-
panying powers for each one dol
lar he put up was as astonishing
as anything heard in Washington
in a long time. Few get the Sig
nihcance of it even yet, for the
detailed testimony was tiresome
and hard to follow.

only one system. that of the Van

priated and of course the CUSTOM

THE way it was arranged for
L one dollar to control S375,O0C
was revealed in the story Of Al
legeny Corporation, holding COM
pany which headed up the three
billion dollar Van Sweringen rail-
road empire. Control of Allegheny
shares meant control of jobs Of
dozens Of big railroad executives
and tens of thousands of en-
ployes, with salaries and wages
running into millions, of dozens
of lawyers, of hundreds of mil
lions in contracts and subsidiary
corporations.
The shares, among collateral
pledged TO Morgan and other New
York bankers for a loan, were
sold to Midamerica, organized by
the Van SweringenS, for S375,o00.
Controlling shares in Midamerjcs
were owned by George Ball of
Muncie, Republican national COM
mitteeman from Indiana.
Ball and his associate, George A.
Tomlinson of Cleveland, gave
their friends, the Van Sweringen
brothers, a l0-year option under
which they could buy the con-
trolling shares of Midamerica for
$3.50. The Van Sweringens died.
Does Mr.. Ball still want to sell at
that price?

AMERICAS OPTIMISM SURVIVES
DEPRESSION ..
(By BRUCE CATToN)

The Americana always was hopeful
cuss. He still is, even after taking the aw-
full beating that the new-economic-era boys
in Wall Street wished on him back in 1929.
Fortune Magazine set out recently to
find out just how much hope he has left. 1t
undertook one of those cross-section sur
veys, presenting to wide range of people
the question whether it still is possible for
any young man with thrift, ability, and
ambition to go up in the world, own his
own home, and enjoy an income of at
least $4,000 year. "-
The answers it got are interesting.
An unhesitating Eyes" came from 1916
per cent of the people questioned. Eighteen
per cent said, eyes, if he's lucky" Thirty
four per cent believed that the right an
swer is mo" And about 8 per cent frank
ly said they didn't know.
Assuming that the group questioned
gives fair reflection of national senti-
ment-and Fortunes surveys have good
reputation for that sort of thing-it must
be said that nation which feels that way
is a long way from being disheartened.
What is amounts to is that just about
one-third of the populace believes that OPP
portunity is dead. Everyone else-barring
a small group that can't make up its mind
feels that a bright young fellow who
gets a reasonable share of the breaks can
70 Just as high as a man needs to go in
this country of ours.
II you have beer worrying about the
prospects of revolution, and have been
looking anxiously under the bed for lurk-
ing Communist or Fascist plotters, those
figures ought to set your mind at rest.
For revolution, whether it goes to the
right or to the left, is the product of COM
plete, nationwide establishment and dis
enlargement. Men throw democracy over
board, scrap their accustomed way of do
ing business, and entrust their affairs to a
Hitler or a Stain only when they are ut
terly fed up with the way their system OF
society has been working.
The percentages listed in this survey
aren't static, of course. If those questions
/, had been asked -four years ago, We might
have got vastly different set of answers
J if they were asked four years hence, we
. might see another change.
But the significant thing is that the re-
plies do seem to reflect the public state Of
mind pretty accurately today, as the eoun
try energies from its worst depression. Anc
they show that the traditional optimism o.
the American spirit is far from ended.
Despite long years of unemployment
low wages, non-existent profits, and ago
MIXING doubt, this still is hopeful country
