THE lOo-PER-CENTER

The governor of South Carolina reiteratcs that
ne is 400 per cent for President Roosevelt. That
is interesting but it would be more interesting TO
know if he is 100 per cent for the so-caled anti-
lynching' measures which the president is said to
favor The president has never uttered word
against these measures and word from nm would
kill them dead That he does favor them has been
repeatedly published. If the congress shall pass an
anti-lynching bill and the president shall allow 1t TO
become law, will Governor Johnston be 100 per
cent for it Will he say as much? Or will he re-
duce his Rooseveltism by Is per cent when he
speaks to the South Carolinians?
In the last three lynchings in South Carolina, in
Aiken Walhalla, and Union, the mobS were largely
made up of people from cotton mill Villages--or
so it was said in the published accounts There
was no excuse for these lynchings. In the mobs
were no presidents, secretaries or supenntendents
of cotton mills, no lawyers, doctors, bankers, edI-
tors, no economic royaStS"
At whom are the ant-lynching bills aimed? They
are certainly not aimed at the "aristocrats," the
"silk-stockingS" of the South. The Northern ne
groes are at the back of them. Is President Roose-
veit against them? If he is, why does he not say
so? 1t is difficult for southern man, like Byrnes,
like Russell, like Harrison, to be 100 per cent for
Roosevelt-and they do not pretend to be although
they adore the president. .
The News and Courier agrees with Borah, the
Republican in this matter and will be 100 per cent
against President Roosevelt if he shall approve
federal anti-ynching bill. 1t believes that lynchers
should be sent to the electric chair by juries drawn
in their state courts. 1t is 100 per cent for South
Carolina 1t is NOT 100 per cent for any living
man born of woman.-Charleston News and Cou-
rier.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
FACTS BEYOND DISPUTE

About twelve OF fifteen years ago newspapers of
New York and the rest of the country published
that Wall Street had captured Henry Ford and
taken him into camp.
In substance it was sid that Henry Ford was
"hard up for money, that money from the Wall
Street banks was necessary to his business that he
could, only get it by giving to these banks hand
and voice in the control of his industry. a..
There was no reservation or qualification in
what the Wall Street bankers said. They had got
a strangle-hold on Ford and the Ford business.
Henry Ford licked them to a standstill. He was
one American manufacturer who was his own man.
When the fight ended the economic royalistS"
skulked in their kennels with their tails cut off,
too badly whipped to yelp.
1t was this Ford that stood up and fought for
his financial liberty against the "money power
as never Hoover, Roosevelt or any other fought
for it-and won it-who asking odds or favors
of other manufacturers or unions of labor, raised
wages first to minimum of five dollars day and
raised them again and again. The captains of in
dustry blamed Ford that he did not defer to them;
the captains of labor resented that he raised wages
without consulting them.
To Henry Ford more than any other American
is the height of the wage scale this day due.
Years ago one breed of economic dictators chal-
lenged him. Now he is challenged by another.
The common man drives car because the gen.
Jus of Henry Ford gave it to him. The common
mans car of whatsoever make, is car made IN
the tracks that Ford blazed
And all these things are facts that no man who
knows facts will dispute.-Chareston News and
Courier.

NEW POLITICAL ALIGNMENTS

The word is reaching the capital, says the Wash
ington Bureau of The Boston Transcript, that
changes of great import in political alignments IN
the South are in the making.
These changes, says its dispatch to The Tran
script "are believed to preSage real two-party
division in the South, division between conserva-
tiveS and radicals"
washington observers already see signs Of this
underlying ferment," the dispatch continued. I'VE
see them both in the revolt of many Southern
Democrats against the presidents proposal TO en-
large the supreme court, and we see them also IN
the flare-up of many southern members against
sit-down strikes" '..
The South is pictured today under the impact
of two powerful currents. One is the current OF
industriazation, which tends to create economic
conservatism The other is what the dispatch calls
the "New Deal current of radcalism, fed by
streams of federal cash, bounties to farmers, and
so on, and bolstered by the New Deal patronage
organization, directed by Postmaster General Far
ley" ..r .u
Almost daily one sees and hears things that lend
support to this analysis of diverse political trends
in the South, but where it will lead in national
political way is question that only time can an
swer. .. go ' r...
But some light is possibly shed on that subject
by The Transcript article WHICH raises tHe queS-
ton as to whether a conservative southern party,
dissenting from the New Deal, would take the Re-
publican label" Those who know the South, 1t
answers, "doubt this in view of the hostility to
the name Republican which still survives from the
reconstruction period. Conceivably. it suggests
there might be coalition between the Republicans
and Southern Constitutionast party in 1910, or
il might be that the G. o. p in alliance with the
ant-New Deal Democrats, might take on new
name" 80 "'.
Like The Greenville News, we have great doubt
as to whether there is any likelihood of that last
suggestion but it is fact that southern states,
under certain conditions, will vote the Republican
ticket This was shown in 1928 but it doesn't prove
that sufficient ant-New Deal sentiment will de-
velop to split the "Solid South. There is increas
ing evidence however, of strong criticism in this
section to certain New Deal moves and it is not at
all unlikely that the G. o. P. will try to seize upon
this sentiment as a means of making less certain

Courts about face in the Wag-

ably affecting the outlool; as to the

The first cry Of the opposition
That the last excuse for the plan
was gone, echoed by few sena-
tors who looked hopefully toward
avoiding the issue, has been
rounterbalanced by prompt
White House effort to turn on the
heat. The administration urges
now that the court has weakened
the position of its supporters by
proving its willingness to play
politics.

In the Senate are seeking to jump
off in any direction, just so it will
enable them to escape voting on
the Presidents proposal. The adj

they won't let the fence-sitters
Jump. At the same time, attempts
are being made to find a method
which would make the medicine
for this group easier to take.

HOW TIMES DO CHANGE! BRITISH
LION is BLUFFED
lRv BRUCE CATTONl

The British battle cruiser Hood is fine
figure of warship-4O,000 tons of applied
science, fast and tough and hard-hitting,
CAPABLE at one blast of blowing half a
dozen ordinary warShipS clear out of the
water. But as far as the trouble in Spain
is concerned, the Hood is just bit OF Win
dow dressing.
This was made clear when the British
cabinet, after going through all the mo-
tons traditional to BritonS when their sea-
going rights are endangered, quietly
backed down once again and allowed that
British merchantmen had best keep out OF
the,war-torn port of Bilbao after all.
The incident is worth looking at, as one
more bit of proof that England, instead or
ruling the waves, is waving the rules these
days.
Spanish rebel warships have been block
aiding Bilbao. Under the international non
intervention agreement-signed by Britain
and other powers-shipmentS of ammunl-
tons are prohibited, but shipments OF food
stuffs are permissible. And five British
waiting to get into Bilbao.
General Francisco Franco, rebel COM
mander-in-chief, announced pont-olank
that if any of these ships made for the port
of Bilbao they would be sunk. And 1t was
then that Britain summoned the mighty
Hood up from Gibraltar and talked loudly
of enforcing British rights on the seas.
It is important to realize just what these
rights were. Under the non-interventlon
agreement, British merchantmen have a
perfect right to enter Bilbao with food
stuffs. Furthermore, the British govern
ment has not yet granted the Spanish III
surgents the rights of belligerents. Under
international law she would be entitled 10
treat as pirates any insurgent warships IN
terfering with lawful British commerce.
Now if your memory goes back to the
spacious days before the war, you can see
that this was a situation made to order Tor
the growing of the British lion. In those
days a rebel leader would think twice or
three times before laying hands on Brit
ish ship. Retribution would be swift, sure,
and deadly. And when the Hood came
steaming up from Gibraltar under forced
draft, it looked as if the old days had re-
turned. ...
But they haven't. For the cabinet ad-
mitted, finally, in the House of Commons
that it will not force the issue. If British
ships try to enter Bilbao they will DO so at
their own risk. The Hood is just there 1or
looks. The rebel blockade is being accept
ed at its face value.
The British lion has become cautious
old beast in late years. The day when
'lesser breeds without the law" run to
cover at his first growl has gone. Such
men as Hitler and Mussolini have made an
epoch-making discovery, impossible TO I'M
agine in the old days. The lion can De
