FORSAKING THE NEW DEAL?

Governor LaFollette, of Wisconsin, and Mayor
LaGuardia, of New York, are reported to have
sounded the call for third party, movement for
organization of the ultra-beral forces 1t is charg-
ed that they do not approve President Roosevelts
apparent effort to make terms with economic roy
alsts."
Mayor LaGuardia has done very well IN his rela-
tions with the Roosevelt administration He has
been playing the New Deal spending game to the
limit scattering many millions of dollars of federal
funds among his metropolitan constituents. He is
demanding more from Washington. He is strong
for the latest Roosevelt spending motion.
The LaFollette brothers-Robert,. the senator,
and Philip, the govemor-have also Jared we'll at
the hands of the president. Their state has had
much more generous shares of federal funds than
these southeastern states have had. Mr.. Roosevelt
has heard them time and again and has played their
game with them.
LaGuardia and the LaFollettes have been moving
to the left They believe in political adventures and
experiments. They do not belong to the Democratic
party They have hitched on to the Roosevelt po-
ltcal chariot for what they could get out of it. If
they are forsaking the New Deal, it means that the
Roosevelt administration is less inclined to the left
than it has BEEN % p" p l.''.
Perhaps Fiorea LaGuardia and Philip LaFoette
are "bluffing." They may be trying to maneuver
the president into doing some things ne Is not IN
tending to do They have their own game to play.
They are concerned with their own politics, not
with Mr.. Roosevelts. AS long they can use HIM,
they will appear to be supporters If they cannot
use him. they will abandon him and all his political
works The gentleman in the White House is aware
Of these facts.-Chareston News and Courier.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
GAUL BALkS

NJ. Daladier's announcement that France Ism I
going to have anything to do with fourpower pactS
including Germany seems to leave Mr.. Neville
Chamberain's policy in the shape of the celebrated
cooked hat Insofar as it is possible to discover any
aim in Mr. Chamberlain, it appears to have been
his hope to split the Berlin-Rome axis and erect
this four-pOwer pact its ruins. q.
But that hope hinged on the assumption that
he could dragoon the French into following his
lead. In the case of Italy he had gone so far be-
fore he let them in on the secret that there was
nothing much they could do but make gestures OF
acceptance, though it may be guessed that they
were bitterly reluctant The French "reaStS"
of a very different, cut from Mr.. Chamberlain
such realists don't for second believe that Mus
soini is going voluntarily to get out Of Spain ana
abandon the, Majorca base which enables him 10
block the French road to North Africa
And as for Germany, these Frenchmen remem-
Der wildly how Bismarck falsifed the Emperor's
telegram at Ems and tricked foolish Napoleon III
into ruinous war, and what happened to both Bel
GUM and France when they trusted the German
word in 1914. They know very we'll that Hitler
means soon or late to retake Alsace and Lorraine,
and to destroy the French power They know that
the price of pact with him would inevitably be
the abrogston of the pacts with Russia, Poland and
Czechoslovakia, giving him free hand to the East
And that all that would simply mean opportun-
ity for him to strong enough to strike them,
and that they would be left isolated when he de-
cided to strike.
One doesn't blame the French. One simply mar
wells that Mr.. Chamberlain thought he could
force theAliinto this curious policy-The Charlotte

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON. The WPA,
!" whose federal thcater project
productions have attracted vide
spread attention, is likely soon to
start producing a movie or two.
Representatives of IA labor
unions, representing workers in
the motion picture industry, werc
here recently to report that many
actors, actresses and technicians
were unemployed and that some
thing ought to be done TO keep
them from starving.
Assistant AdminiStrato David
X. Niles told the union people to
go back to Hollywood and submit
proposals for possible projects
WPA will take the attitude that
men and women who make movies
when employed are as much en-
titled TO work relief as actors
writer's and musicians who have
been employed on special projects
in the last two or three years.
No acknowledgements love
thrillers, gangster or cowboy
films are in prospect. The pro-
auctions are expected TO be docu-

bassador, and collective security

Others took up the refrain and
chief champions Of isolation were
Congressman Maury Maverick of
Texas and SEC Commissioner
Jerome Frank.
Maverick demanded to know
how the United States could afford
to get chummy with any European
nation-saying that England had
been quite willing to divide Ethi-
lopia, Spain and China with ag-
greSsor nations, that France was
in bad shape and that no ono
could tell about Russia because
she had killed off so many of her
generals and statesmen. 4....
Troyanovsky insisted Russia
had only killed her TRAITORS.
But Maverick said there had been
too many traitors for comfort and
that even though he believed COL
lective security was the only
eventual answer, he didn't believe
there was any other nation this
country could trust.
! Frank declared America had
gone to war to save democracy
once, that now democracy was
worse off than ever and that this
country should continue aloof
from European quarrcls.
Has any American ever worked
out a plan for isolation?" asked
Sir Willmott Lewis, brilliant cor
respondent of the London Times

HOW N. c. PROFITS


1t is interesting to note that North Caroilna
benefits very substantially from expenditures OF
the railroads, and this should give us all an added
incentive for hoping that Impractical solution can
be reached by which the carriers can sotVe their
financial problems and operate at profit. .
In 1887, for instance, the railroads spent huge
sum in this state for materials supplies, fuel, and
payrolls it is revealed in special study which has
just been completed by the Bureau OF Railway
Economics of the American Association of Rail
roads. -. O., '.. t.t''... -...
Railway purchases in North Carolina totaled w.
24s,521, the report shows. These purchases were
made in 345 towns and cities located in 90 OF the
100 counties of the state. p" 80 "-
Wages paid to railway employees IN North Caro-
lima during 1887 amounted to $2S,598,57S,
The review discloses that for the nation as a
whole, the railroads last year paid Sl133361 ,46S
for the more than 10000 different items which they
use Materials, supplies andfuel cost $685. ,OOO
and expenditures for all new equipment Except
taht constructed in railway shops) totaled $780,
97S, 46S. More than 10000 towns and cities locat.
ed in 2,6ss of the S,O72 counties of the United
States derived benefits from this large volume of
railroad buying.
In 1887, the countrys rail carriers also distribut
ed $1,9s3 $50, 4s5 in wages to their employees, the

THE FIRST LAW

Self-preServation, we are told,
is the first law of nature. That
statement is but partly true. Self
preservation may be the first law
of animal nature but not of spir-
itual nature.
Is it the law of self-prescrva-
ton which impels man to give
his life for another? Is the per-
son who slaves a lifetime for an
other, motivated by the law of
self preservation? Time after
time men, women and children are
moved to perform splendid feats
by some law far higher than that
of self-preservation. Even lower
animals respond at times to a law
which ranks far above that of
self-preservation.
One trouble with some time
honored conclusions which are set
forth for us to believe - and
which often we do believe - is
that they are not true.

LEARNING TO UNLEARN

"You probably learn of many
things to do around a hotel when
in such a big one" remarked the
newspaper man to Wade Britt.
1.-The most important job, at
times, is to learn what not to do
in a big hotel" said the young
man with lots of hotel observa-
ton and just out Of Brooklyn,
where he was with the st. George,
with its 1858 rooms, the largest
in the great metropolitan area. 1t
is difficult to grasp such a pic
ture unless you figure that with
only two to the room all Hcnder-
sonville could be comfortably
housed in that one structure.

Break soil to depth of a foot
or more so as to provide good
drainage. Cow manure, well rot
ted, is best fertilizer but equal
parts of potash, phosphate and
bone meal, a handful to the hill,
is good, placing six to 10 inches
from the tuber. Fertilize every
two weeks till Towering time.
Partial shade for about three
hours is good. Cultivate once or
twice week. Plant about five
inches deep and about four feet
apart, stalking at time of plant

HOW LABOR WILL WIN
By DIR. CHARLES STELZLE
Executive Director,
Good Neiphbor League

No organization can keep alive the
interest Of its members without a
great purpose. The perfunctory
meeting and the platitudinous adj
dress never win out. This is just as
true Of the labor union as it is of the
church or any other movement. The
social aspect of an organizations life
is important, but oyster suppers,
vaudeville shows, smokers, and all
the rest of it never yet held together
a company of earnest men who were
supposedly banded together for the
purpose of really doing things.
When an organization is compelled
to resort to such features in order to
hold its members, it is an indication
that somewhere there is a falling
down, either in leadership or in pur-
pose, and it is destined to fail.
No movement can long remain a
force when all men speak well of it.
There is danger in too much COM
mendation. Always will there be a
letting go when prosperity and flat
terry enter, and almost invariably it
may be said that the man who is
always approved by everybody
doesn't count for much as a real
power.
The man or the movement which
lives and moves is bound to make
mistakes. He who never makes mis-
takes, never makes anything else.
The call to Come and suffer-" has
always appealed to true men. Their
response to this call has been the
secret of success in the greatest
movements in the worlds history.
No movement can maintain its
place in social and industrial life
unless it is based upon a moral
principle. In this day and genera
ton might does not long continue to
make right, either on the side of the
boss or the workman. It may seem
like good policy to force an issue
because one has the whip hand, but
no question is ever settled until it
is settled right. More and more men
are insisting that social questions
must be dealt with in absolute fair
ness. There a be no other way.
In view of this, it is an easy matter
to prophecy who is going to win out
in the end.

Labor Day as a general holiday
was started on its way by the Cen
trail Labor Union of New York City
on May 8, 1882, when the Council
adopted the idea, presented by P. J.
Mcclure, founder of the Brotherhood
of Carpenters, that one day of the
year should be set aside as a special
holiday for working men and women.
The Central Labor Union held the
first Labor Day celebration in the
United States on the first Monday in
September, 1882, after which many
municipal councils passed ordinances
making the first Monday in Septem-
Der a municipal holiday.
Oregon Enacted First Law
1t was not, however, until 1887
that the states began to fall in line
and pass laws making Labor Day a
legal state holiday.
The first state law was enacted by
Oregon in 1887; the legislature desig-
mated the first Saturday in June as
Labor Day, but in September, 1898,
changed the date to the first Monday
in September. The legislatures of
Colorado, Massachusetts,, New Jer-
sey and New York followed in quick
succession, all of them enacting La
Dor Day laws in 1887. Wyoming was
the forty-eighth state to come under
the Labor Day influence, the legisla-
ture enacting a Labor Day law in
1928.
