TALKING OF IMPEACHMENT

Published in the sodly Democratic state where
in is located the Warm Springs Foundation, the
Macon Telegraph accuses the president OF the Unit
ed States of doing things in violation of chou
sand laws and practically every provision of the
constitution" Thus speaks The Telegraph:
"If he has not made, he has desperately sought
to make Judges dependent on his will for the ten
ure of their Offices, he has erected multitude OF
new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to
harass our people and eat out their substance. In
delivering us over to the labor autocracy OF John
l. Lewis he has combined with others to subject
us to jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and
unacknowledged by our laws. He may be charged
with taking away charters, abohshng our most
valuable laws and altering fundamentally the forms
of our government, or at least attempting to do
so. If not in person, he has by proxy excited do
mestic nsurrection amongst u.s."
The Telegraph draws its quoted phrases from the
Declaration of Independence, directed against the
English King George III. 1t reminds that 21S men,
bers of the house can draw articles of impeachment
and that fifty senator's can return verdict OF
guilty which twill bring that sturdy old Democrat,
Vice President Garner, into the executive chair
and eff our free institutions are further threat
ened, it must be DONE"
That is bold speaking. 1t is distressing to lind a
substantial newspaper like The Telegraph talking
like this about the chief magistrate of the nation.
II is one of the indications that Mr. Roosevelt has
lost a considerable part of his following in the
South, that the South is awakening to the mad

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
cIo WINGS CLIPPED

The Inland Steel company, located IN the Calu-
met region of Indiana, reopened its mills today un
der an agreement with Governor Townsend.
Forthwith, Nicholas Fontecchio, director of the
CIO affiliate union which had called the strike on
May q, issued statement declaring: 1--WE won
the fight"
If Montecchio knows what he is saying, his pres
ent jubiiation is the most positive proof to date
that the wings of CIo have been permanently
clipped. |
In the first place. the Inland agreement with
the Hoosier governor had for its basis the steel
companys own labor policy, as enunciated at the
time the walkout was staged. In other words the
strike could have been settled Immediately without
a months shutdown, on the same terms that it has
been called off.
In the second place, no contract has been signed,
and under the gentlemen's agreement the C1O is
recognized as Bargaining agent for the members of
the Lewis organization only.
Thus, it is obvious the union leader who brags
about the Inland Steel settlement is somewhat
hardpressed to discover for elation. But, OF
course, he MUST dig up some excuse for rejoicing
else the misguided mortals who have lost
months wages by blindly following his leadership,
will awake to the full realization of their asinnty
However, Fontecchio may find it difficult to collect
his union dues, iahsmuch as there is no hint that
the Infamous check-off clause which his organiza-
ton tried to slip in was part of the agreement
If workers would use their own heads rather
than listen to agtators they would find themselves
much better off and there would be fewer disputes.
The Record believes every state executive should
stop playing politics and let the nation know in
unequivocal terms that both capital and labor are
to be treated fairly and permitted to enjoy the
full protection of the law Then there would be no
occasion for shutdowns such cost the 1880 In
land workers months pay.-Hickory Record.

MAY HAVE TO FIGHT

Michigan is close to civil war. When 1t begins
it will spread. The more active battle-ground will
be the induStriaized states, the sections haV-
ing the great cities. The South will not escape.
Southern agriculture will lose for the time much
of it's market and Southern industry will be invad-
ed. In one large sense the South won the war OF
the sixties. After Appomattax as before 1t drew
the "coor line' in politics, in social life and In
those industries where it chose to draw 1t. The
movement now is to wipe out the color line. We
are not disputng that from their point of view
Lewis and the CIO are logical They are encour-
aged and endorsed by the Communists and Social
ists They are logical They are intellectual"
Brains, "brain trusters" are active in the direc-
tion of the CIO Superior brains and far better
informed than those of most of your Southern
''statesmen'), and if they shall master the North
they will not let you alone. You may have the
battle of the sixties to fight again unless you are
willing to surrender to them without fight. Thus
far you have developed few leaders who know
what it is all about, and of those you have placed
at the front some of them are willing to sell you

American City party. 1t is a farmers country an
agrarian section, and so preponderantly it should
stay.-Charleston News and Courier

GOOD NEIGHBoR CREED NEEDED
WITHIN NATION
(By BRUCE CATION


There has been many march on Wash
ington, from the British invasion in the
War of 1912 down to the "bonus army OF
1882; but there never was one with quite
the observation-disclosures quality that goes
with the present descent of the Boy Scouts
of America.
twenty-five thousand of these lads have
taken possession of the city. They are not
there to seek any favors or exert any pres
sure; they are simply bunch OF healthy,
wholly admirable American boys out to
have a good time, to see their country S
capital and, just incidentally, to show what
fine set of boys this country can produce.
And it does one good to see them down
there.
There is something about Scout JAM
boree of this kind that makes thoughtful
adult feel just little bit ashamed of him
self These youngsters are still free from
those traits of jealousy, suspicion, and i'll
will which somehow seem to beset all the
grownups who go to Washington.
In the Scout troops there are all sorts TO
boys; boys from city slums and boys from
small towns, boys whose fathers are veal
thy and boys whose fathers are distress
ingly poor. Twenty years from now these
boys will be more or less what their IA
theirs are now-and the free, wholesome
comradeship that now holds them together
will be gone forever.
Instead, they will share the divisions that
curse our grownup world. The poor ones,
as likely as not, will be denouncing the
rich ones as economic royalists, and the
rich ones will be accusing the poor ones OF
trying to overturn American institutions.
Most Of them will be demanding that
Washington do something for then-at the
expense, if necessary, of all the others
and wanting to know what the country is
coming to if the demand is refused.
All of which is simply to say that the
easy, uncritical fellowship of boyhood van
ishes as boys become men. Life is still
pretty much a devil-take-the-hindm
scramble, and it makes man forget that
he has community of interest with all his
fellow citizens. 1t is nortally easy to get
the feeling that men of different eco
nomic or social class are going to get the
better of you, if you don't get the better of
them first.
And there is something about the spec
tacle of these Boy Scouts at Washington
that makes one understand that our way
of living-or, more accurately, our way of
looking at life-wth its divisions and its
unsleeping suspicious, is badly warped.
Our country happens to need this feel
ing of solidarity, of common striving for a
common goal, about as badly as any coun-
try could; yet it has to go to the Boy Scouts
to find it.

W1ASHINGToN-The war be
w tween the young New Deal
ers and the old is not confined to
the onslaught against the con-
servative SeptuagenarianS on the
Supreme Court.
Week by week the tension has
grown between the Boss Young
New Dealer in the White House
meaning Mr.. Roosevelt, who is
only SIS and feels much younger
and the elderly gentlemen who
make up the So-called Democratic
leadership in CongreSS-most OF
whom also feel younger than they
are.
Roosevelt said, in effect, that the
elderly conservative justices were
too old for their jobs, that they had
been on the job too long and that
they were out Of touch with the
needs and desires of the people.
More or less secretly, that's the
way he is known to feel about
most of the party leadership in
Congress.
II has come to be an un-
spoken belief among the Roose-
Welt faction in and out of { C>ugreSS
that most Of the titular leaders and
powerful committee chairmen are
nowhere near as closely in touch
with the current thought of the
populace as the younger, more re-
Gently elected members Of House
and Senate. LeaderShips and
committee chairmanshipS come to
members through seniority based
on length Of service.
THE leadership-usually called
l. the southern leadership - is
both worried and sore. The lead
ers early in the session counseled
Roosevelt to take it easy, TO cut
the spending program draStically
and to rest on his oars. Roosevelt
hasn't paid enough heed to this
conservative advice, He popped
the court plan on them without
warning or consultation. Most OF
them have been apathetic or an
tagoniStic ever since.
What worries them is the in
surgence of young rump leader
ship in the House and Senate
which might well upset the old
leadership and take control OF
Congress if Roosevelt gave il
formal recognition. Maury Nav
