NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
HEAD.ON

Cortain conflicts which are inherent in the farm
labor combination upon which the present admins
cation has depended for sustaining support are
ornbasized anew in the situation which has arisen
in the tobacco industry result of the applica-
ton of the wageThonr law
4 r. tobacco companies have met Inauguration
If the act with the discharge of thousands of STEM
tuers declaring that the new work provisions make
tboir employment impossible: With this situation
= i obvious that the companies must do one of
,o things: they must either reinstate the dismissed
stommers or they must install machinery to do the
,yort which was heretofore done by hand To be
snre there is third possibility in that the wage
hour board might get around to the industrys
i+enton that theirs is seasonal occupation and is
therefore entitled to exception from the newly APP
nIied prescriptions. So far, however, there have
been no intimations that Washington will acquiesce
in this viewpoint.
Thus we move around to the situation as; it af-
fects the farmer and as the state department of
agriculture has taken cognlzance" OF these antcl-
uated effects. 1t is W. P. cHedrick, tobacco mar
ketinp specialist of the state agency who is doing
the talking in Raleigh Times interview:
aTbe rise in cost will be taken from the farmers
profits, whether stemming is done by machine or
bv hand. Pece-meal stemming, for which workers
are given three cents per pound u stripped Stes'
becomes impossible under law requiring 25-cents
an hour minimum wage and 44-hour work week.
Higher processing costs, due to- purchase of
machines or. payment of minimum wages, will be
passed on to the farmer. The agriculture depart
ment is taking no position on the wage-hour act,
but as the bill affects the income of the farmer,
we will help in every way possible to protect him."
So there we are, with conflict which is appar-
emily inescapable and which, it seems to US, must
necessarily grow more, acute as the farm-labor pro-
grams are further pushed toward ends which are
common only in that they both pile upon the con-
sumer AS distinct possibility, how would the
farmer react to a sweeping organization movement
of farm labor for higher wages, shorter hours and
improved working conditions?- Greensboro News.

TRIBUTES TO MR.. JUSTICE:
BY NOAH HOLLOWELL

TRIBUTES TO MR.. JUSTICE:
In this hurried age when the ten
dency is to make too much haste
at funeral to give a person a de-
cent burial, it was refreshing Sat-
urday to hear the tributes paid
the late Rev. James M. Justice by
DR.. +. E. Bomar and the Rev. A.
l. Justice. They were rare in their
beauty; they were timely and
most appropriate and befitting a
native son who lost his health in
PARKWAY fields Of, service and
who with much grace and pa
thence struggled against weak
nesses to which he finally sue
cumbed. Indeed, good man has
fallen.
APPLE WEEK: We are now
living by weekly periods. This is
national apple week." when we
emphasize the place that the apple
should find in our diet.
The late John Burroughs said
"the apple is indeed the fruit of
youth; as we grow old we crave
apples less; it is an ominous
sign"
l like to recall the days just be-
fore frost when we used to gather
the fall apples in a section of the
state where there was no CONNER
cial fruit and the idea somewhat
prevailed that winter-keeping APP
Piles would not grow on the coast.
We succeeded in having a supply
in favorable years until about
Christmas and this was quite re-
markable as l think of apples
keeping that long without the pro-
lection of a spray, which was I'M
known, and is still not in use
there
A great appetite for apples
may be characteristic of youth,
that may be what contributed to
an almost Unsuitable taste for ap-
pies piled on the second floor of
the home and which we boys en-
joyed as fitting close to the
days labors, even eating them aft
er getting in bed-and it didn't
take "apple week" to induce such
conduct.

which it fitted nicely. Efforts are
now being made to destroy the
chain store by taxing it out Of eX-
istence.
If those efforts are successful,
there will again be a gap to be
filled by some undertaking. What
will it be? My guess is that it will
be the cooperative store, which
will be owned by it's customers,
among whom will be divided any
profit it earns. The cooperative
store would hit much harder at
the independent store than does
the chain store.
Probably one reason the coop
erative store has not made as rap
id and notable Roadway in the
United States as in Sweden, Nor
way, Denmark and Great Britain
is that the chain store has, after
a fashion, filled the gap left wide
open by the independent stores.
Whenever there is a gap in a
vital structure, something is al
most certain to move in and oc-
cupy it.
The reason there are so many
different Christian religious de-
nominations is that there were so
many gaps left untitled. Had any
one denomination possessed the
courage, the bigness, and the spir-
itual understanding to meet hu-
man needs fully, there never
would have been more than one
denomination.

subject of religion when l started

tive stores; but after all, isn't re-

THIS BUSINESS REVIVAL DEMANDS
ATTENTION
(By BRUCE CATION

If there is anything to the theory that
business revival gets along faster when the
people really believe that the revival IS
taking place, it would be good thing for
all Americans to pay attention to the bust
ness news in their daily papers.
According to the most recent dispatches,
an upswing of really substantial proper
tons is at last under way.
Consider, for instance, a current survey
in the Wall Street Journal. This quotes
Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins as say
ing that unemployment in September had
reached the highest point for the year, and
went on to add that October would almost
certainly be much better than September.
Production of electric power equipment is
booming and may even break the record
of 1929. Steel production is up to approx
mately 81 per cent of capacity. New York
retail trade leaders expect the sales trend
to go on rising for several months,
Yet that is only a starter. Freight car
loadings for the week ending. October Is
stood at the highest point for any week
since November 7, 1887. Freight move
ment by truck is also up, the September
tgures-for the first time this year-show-
ing an increase over the corresponding
month in 1881
The New York Times business index
stands at the years high. In the Michigan
auto-production belt things are booming,
with men returning to work by the thou7
sand and output of ears rising steadily. In-
creased movement of heavy commodities
is reflected in the figures for Great Lakes
shipping, which in October reached its
highest level for the year. -,
A recital of such facts makes rather dull
reading, perhaps, 1t is a little hard to see
the realities behind those dry phases. But
the whole business is, worth studying-for
it unquestionably reflects a trade revival
OF genuinely encouraging dimensions.
And that, in turn, is the best sort of news
Americans could hear. -.-..
We sometimes forget how closely, the
worlds troubles today are related to eco
homie depression. Revolutionary move
-'AN4thS, oASIdIOASIlk1o, wal TGaTHla-
ment drives cut-throat trade wars that, en-
danger, world rpeace-all of these in one
way or another grow out of economic col
lapse. They. are made ominous by the
pressure: which hard times exert on desper-
ate people.
There are various, safeguards that we
can take against these, perils,, of course.
But the surest of all safeguards, is. pros
perity. A prosperous people isinevera prey
to iSms; it never produces trouble, for itself
or for others, and because it is prosperous
it is able to provide itself with ample means
of defense.
So one need not be Rabbit or a money:
loving materiaist to say that. healthy
and lasting business revival would be the
best thing that could happen to America
right, now Wholly aside from the misery
and uncertainty it;would relieve, it would
give us our best possible insurance against
the dangers which are so tragically plenti
full in the world today, And it is hardly
going too far to say that we have no more
important, task right now than to nuture
this business revival and make it sound
and permanent.

PLAN TOCLIMB
ASLATIC PEAK
Explorers Next Goal Said
To Be Match for
Mt. Everest
By ROBERT l.. SPENCER
Ca6 - .,


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20
(UP)-Capt. Robert c. C. Win
throp, 38-year-old explorer and
adventurer who already has had
lifetime of thrilling brushes with
death in far away corners of the
world, is planning an expedition to
the Himalayas, he revealed dur
ing a visit here.
Winthrop, the mild-mannared
son of British army. officer sta
toned in India. has been in near
ly every country in the world,
gone through scores of revolu-
tons and seen sights that stagger
the Imagination in the role of ex-
plorer, adventurer, war correspon-
dent, aviator. and cameraman.
Now, while planning a Hima-
layan expedition to Anne Machin,
a mountain he believes to be high
or than Everest, Winthrop is
working as a Hollywood technical
director, checking accuracy OF
landscape, customs, manners and
dress in foreign settings.
UNUSUAL SIGHTS HIS HOBBY
Although he has had many close
brushes with death, the rambling
advcnturer prefers to talk of the
unbelievable sights he has seen.
He told how he bribed his way
into the sanctums of the Holy
Yurta by presenting Djelb HUI
tuktu, Chinese incarnate Buddha,
with 97-cent watch, made in
America, which today rests on a
gold cloth in the chamber of the
HOLES in the ancestral shrine.
In old Tibet, Winthrop was
guest of the Tibctan Buddha, who
showed him his most treasured
possession, a temple sanctuary
, where $4,000 alarm clocks, at
tended night and day by six ma,
tivcs, are constantly wound, set
and sounded.
Equally unbelievable, Winthrop
said. is the kings palace in the
little known land of Nepal, the
valley Of 2,733 Buddhist temples,
In that ancient palace, in place
of Greek Statuary, the walls and
corridors are lined with hundreds
of American slot machines.
HIS MAJESTY HITS JACKPOT
While there, Winthrop said, he
