NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE ORGY CONTINUES

When the country was in the low OF the DOW
vows and private enterprise had thrown up 'l'S
hands, it became imperative that the federal gov
eminent, acting for all the poStrated people VI
the United States should grid its IONS ana get
down to the attack against a death-dealihg ecu
nomic collapse To that necessary end, that gov
eminent had to have money and more money ana
then some
The work of rescue was gigantic. And IT was
costly.
The tax payers of the, nations themselves rus
trated and on the brink of personal disaster, look
ed on with favor as their central government Due-
kled down to the task of spending the nation out
of the depths
Criticism scant, as it should have BEEN IL
was either that the government must spend or the
impending, calamity would descend .-.
So 1T was that millions of federal expenditures
raced into billions and billions were doubled and
tripled and further multiplied until the federal
authorities had spent so much and had borrowed
so avishy in order to spend that the national DEBT
had gone up to a new all-tme high.
While, doubtless, u szeable fraction OF THESE
expenditures were wastefully and extrayagantiy
used during those hectic and frantic years. the WIS
dom and imperativeness of large OUTLAWS Tor es
sential economic recovery were not intellgently OF
fairly questioned.
Criticism of the expenditures of the Roosevelt
administration and Of the amusement of con-
tmuingy high national debt became timely and
pertinent and patriotic when the necessity for such
opulent OUTLAWS had been removed.
And this criticism has at no time been more OPP
perfume or justifable than at this moment when
these expenditures, instead of declining, are ac-
tually yet increasing.
Although we are in the fifth year of general
recovery movement and no critical emergency pre-
walls and, as The New York Times outlines here
we are with industrial employment and factory
payrols at the highest level reached since 1929
with average hourly wage rates well above the
mark set in that year, with net farm income more
than three times as large as it was when President
Roosevelt took office, with bank deposits actually
at the highest point on record, with corporate
profits generally showing substantial gains, with
retail sales advancing to the best level reached in
six years, with treasury revenues at a peak ex-
ceeded only twice in the whole history of the
country-and with the government of the United
States plunging farther and farther into debt
month by month and year by year.-Charlotte

NOT AN UNMIxED BLESSING

Senator Cotton Ed" Smith is back among the
home folks in South Carolina again and, of course,
is making speeches. Touching first base with the
group which gave him his initial push upward, ne
counselled the farmers at Clemson. He said:
Shake off your inferiority complex and demand
your rights; demand the right to organize and run
your own business rather than have everyone else
run it for you. Why can industrialstS borrow
money when you can't?"
That is strange. Senator Smith is telling the
farmers of South Carolina, and inferentiay Of
the nation, that someone has usurped their right
to organize and run their own business. They have
an inferiority complex that permits that. They, ne
indicates, are not permitted to borrow money
That is strange. 1t is the first time we've heard
it suggested that anyone can't organize in this
organization-plagued country. Farmers, certainly,
have been encouraged to organize-even to Sen
ator Smiths end of borrowing money Gould 1t
be, perhaps that Senator Smith should listen to
the farmers instead of they to him? Maybe they
don't want to borrow money. Farmers, more than
any other class of federal benefciaries, borrow
with the idea of paying back, which isn't so pain
less the borrowing. News

WHO WILL EXPLAIN?

PWA has approved a grant, which is but an
other word for outright gift, Of slS5,OOO for a
new medical building at Chapel Hill. That new
medical building was needed a glance at the old
one would show, but why the federal government
should feel called on to pay large share of its
cost will not be so self-evident
We have gone through this rigamarole several
times before--how the states budget is balanced,
with tidy surplus left over from last year, and
how the federal governments budget is hopeessiy
unbalanced, it's debt at all-time and precarious
peak-but even so nobody has yet answered our
question: | -.
Why should the federal government pay Tor I'M

people.
Now if somebody would begin
talking about a vocational wage,
that would be something. What
we in this nation need almost rs
much as we need spiritual under
standing is facility in fine me-
chanical work. We are sadly lack
ing in skilled craftsmanship. We
have more poorly trained, jackleg
mechanics, ! suppose, than any
other civilized nation. A wOeful
few of our workmen take real
pride in their work. The feeling
is too prevalent that manual
work is dishonorable - that if
man is not a physician or a law
yer or something like that, he
doesn't rate.
In England a family will fol-
low one trade for generations.
The result is that the members
of that family are highly expert
in their trade and take pride and
JOY in their eXpertnesS. How
many such cases can be pointed
out in America? If a man here
is skilled workman, he is likely
to want his son to be profess
sional man.
There is many a potentially
fine, happy workman messing
around as twO-for-a-nickel doc
tor or lawyer or newspaper col
umnist. Fit a fellow for the work
he is spiritually, mentally and
! physically adapted to and he will
, be happy. Put him elsewhere and
he will be rs unhappy as a game
fish in a mud hole.

MAN. is THEME FOR
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
CHURCHES SUNDAY

"Man" was the subject of the
lcssOn-Sermon in all Christian
Science Churches and Societies
Sunday.
The golden text was from Gene
sis | :27. God created man in his
own image, in the image of God
created he him: male and female
created he Them
Among the citations which COM
prised the lesson-sermon was the
following from the Bible: "The
Spirit itself beareth witness with
our spirit, that we are the chill
dren of God" rom. S:l6).
The lesson-sermon also includ-
ed the following passage from the
Christian Science textbook, "Sci-
cnce G. Health with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
"The Scriptures inform us that
man is made i'm the image and
likeness Of God. Man is idea, the
image, Of Love; he is not physi-
que. He is the compound idea of
God, including all right ideas, the
generic term for al THAT reflects
Gods image and likeness; the
conscious identity Of being as
found in science, in which man is
the reflection of God, or mind,
and therefore is eternal; that
which has no separate mind from
God; that which has not single
quality underived from Deity;
that which possesses no life, intel
ligence, nor creative power of his
own, but reflects spiritually all
that belongs to his Maker" page

forward and not turn back. The
vote in TIE election was not
mere approval of what had been
done, but was u demaHd TO go
further in an attempt TO meet
these two major detectives.
The economic royaliStS have
managed 10 divide this Congress
sufficiently to ObStruct the fulfill
ment of the 1886 election pledges.
One of two things is going to
happen. Either this mandate
will be carried out by the adj
ministration, or the people will
forge a new political instrument
tality TO accomplish their will
as they have done before.
In any great democracy there
must be party leadership and
party responsibility. In 1896 the
Democratic party accepted the
program Of the New Deal and the
leadership of Franklin D. Roose-
welt.
The country will not long ac-
cept party-laScls in lieu of party
principles, or fulSome praise of
Franklin ID. Roosevelt, the man,
i'm lieu of honest and heartfelt
devotion to the New Deal prin-
ciples to which he is devoted
and on the basis of which the
majority party was returned to
power.
The failure of this session OF
Congress to achieve major objec-
tives will not be accepted by the
of progresSives who voted
for the President in 1896 as final
proof that the control of Congress
has been permanently captured by
a combination of reactionaries in
the Democratic and Republican
parties. But if in the coming SeS-
sions of Congress the majority
political party does not carry out
the mandate of the 1896 election
it will hasten the political align
ment so essential to the effective
functioning of the democratic
processes.

near future-(D to increase the
national income, and (2) to Sc
cure more equitable distribution
of it as it is produced from year
to year.
The Roosevelt administration
and its supporters have taken
certain minimum steps in the
general direction of these objec-
tives.
The Supreme Court fight, in my
judgment, was just one Of many
such meaSures-but a very neces-
sary one because upon its Substan-
tial success turned the legal free
dom Of a democracy to move
toward its goals.
The present economic crisis
raises fundamental issues which
are forcing political realignment.

NO REcEsS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL OF
r.. ~ EXPERIENCE
CBy BRUCE CATION

Because all the examples and object les
sons were plunked right into his own lap
M his own home-if' he had One-the
American citizen learned more about eco
monte theories, laws of supply and de-
mand, taxes and business cycles during the
depression than he ever knew before.
AS this knowledge was acquired, 1T was
applied to practical problems. And II
helped tide the nation through dangerous
periods when the balance of our entire sys-
TEN was endangered by suffering and dis
content. ,..
But with the return of what purports to
be normally, people are Laying back TO
the attitude that they don't have to worry
about the incricacies of economies or gov
eminent any more, and that from now un-
til the prosperity curves go over the top
again, anything that happens must be all
for the best.
The only error in that philosophy is that
il conflicts with the facts-facts that show
debts, taxes, food, clothing, and shelter
costs, and government expenses mounting
into a miraculous total.
In its last, long, weary session, congress
managed to make appropriations totaling
nearly nine and one-half billion dollars.
The amount for the public debt interest
alone showed an increase of $25,000,000,
and the public debt proper reached APP
proximately S37, 900, 100000. .....
These gigantic financial inducements
are too easily waved aside by politicians
with references to the great price the ma
ton has to pay for the salvation of the
happiness and prosperity of 100000
people. .E.. ..
But the truth is that every citizen is pay
ing directly or indirectly for this salvation,
and if man can't get it all paid off in
lifetime, his children will have to finish the
job. b.. @. .... .... ,.. 4,
The exasperating ease with which pub
lie money is spent may be traced not. only
in national government, but through state,
county and city administrations as well.
The habit is not necessarily confined to
one party or one period. 1t just seems to
turn up when the man who has to take it
on the ehin-and on the poeketbook-lets
his guard drop. ," g.. .".
The whole moral is that the public
should maintain it's defense by making its
elected representatives public servants in
fact as we'll as in Fourth of July oratorical
fantasies. So. .. H.. ..
When congress appropriates more than
$400,0e0000 for military purposes and
more than $500, O00,O0O for navy purposes,
the voter should know why. Probe into the
reasons behind state tax increases; ferret
out the cause for the higher county levy
or the boost in street car rates, or what
ever it may be that is costing more. If
you aren't satisfied with the answers,
smoke out the truth. And if your public
servant won't cooperate, elect one who
will. ...~.-.,
Here are bigger problems than ever,
tumbling right out of every weekly pay
envelope. And the way to face them is
still being taught in that big, free school
of practical experience. ... .....
