NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
DESTROYING THE FINE OLD AMERICAN
TRADITION

THE Roosevelt administration bears down hard
est the savers, the oldfashioned folks who prac-
ticed life of thrift in order that they might pro-
vide for their old age. Everyone knows hundreds
of those people, particularly out in the rural
They denied themselves in order that they might
save, so that when they became too old to engage
in ganful pursuits they could live modest in
come. And how the new deal has slashed that in
come Interest on bank deposits has been cut IN
two, and the old folks who had depended upon
that source of living have had to tighten their
belts and struggle to make ends meet. Others put
savings into life insurance and have the divi
dend checks dwinde and in many instances cease
as the insurance companies income has been cur
tailed by the same pressure that curtailed bank
deposit interest. Other old sources of investment
for the thrifty highgrade bonds, have been pushed
down to a two-tO-three per cent basis. The full
force of government is to discourage thrift, to
wipe out that old deal notion that it was worthy
attainment to live on income from lifetime Of
savings The government sets the example of what
it wants it's citizens to do. One year from now, the
federal debt will be in excess Of $43 600, O0O 600!
The above from the Belle PLANE Herald certain
ly tells /; world Of truth 1t could go farther and
state that all this sO-called "mOre abundant lfe'
is only serving to destroy the morale of our people
to such extent that it is doubtful that even time
NAV undo the infinite harm. Personal pride and
initiative character building, all the fine old ira
ditions that made America great and American lie
fine and honorable, are being destroyed, destroyed
without second thought about those who are to
come after 1t is incomprehensible that the Amer-
can people are so slow in awakening to the inner
ent danger that besets them on every side. Ideal
lists theorists visionary nellectuals Of the mprac-
teal sort are charting the course Of the present
day American life away from the traditions and

FINE COUNTRY SECTION

There is section of country in Buncombe, Hen
derson and Pennsylvania counties which has won
derful possibilities. 1t is the section served by the
West Asheville- Hendersonville road so-called-and
the section from the Mills River bridge on that
highway to Brevard.
This whole area has been held back IN Its full
development for lack of paved highways and first
class secondary roads
But this handicap is rapidly being remedied by
the construction of network of paved roads and
the rocking of the secondary roads
The paved road from the Hendersonvle-Br e-
ward road to Mount Psgah and from Brevard to
the Pennsylvania line are both on the way to COM
peton.
The six miles from the Mills River bridge to the
Pennsylvania county line, the commissioner of this
district advises US is be placed under contract
for construction at once.
This work, going quietly and without much
public notice, is opening to Asheville, Henderson
vile and Brevard a section of great possibilities
and one the development of which in large way
is already progressing and means substantial,
permanent income and consuming area, that will
materially affect the retail merchants in these three
cties.-Southeast Miner

UN-AMERICAN

The Civil Liberties Committee of the United
States senate which is more or less creature Of
Senator La Toilette is "chs ing" labor espionage
against certain steel companies and other large
manufacturing corporations.
The crime of which they charged seems to
be that they have hired detectives to find out
whether and what 'reds," working in the interests
of Moscow, have been stirring up trouble and TO-
menting strikes in their plants
The evidence which is right now being submitted
to the house committee for the investigation OF
un-American activities suggests that these compa-
MES instead of being censured for that sort OF
detective work-spyng, if one chooses to call 1t
that-should rather be commended for patriotic
service.
1t begins to look as though we ought to have had
lot more of that sort of spying good while ago
And the startling information" which Repre-
sentative Dies committee is bringing out is begin
ming to make Senator La Folette's civil liberties
committee in the senate look more than anything
else like one more subversive organization which
is trying to bore from within.
1t is high time for the American public to be-
come acutely conscious of what the communists are
attempting to do to America within and through
American organized labor.
If it has become crime in America to try to
find out what the Reds are attempting to do to US,
it is time for us to get excited about the choice OF
those who determine what is crime.-Rock Hill
g. Co. Herald.

day or two off whenever | special

my work was not disrupted, my

A friend of mine asserts that
the reason he takes a vacation

Of bis vacation, he knows he can
endure anything else which may
happen to him during the rest Of

NEW INDUSTRY, NEW CROP

eve have great hopes that the cigarette paper
plant now building in North Carolina will mark
the introduction of brand new industry to the
United States and the development of a new crop
for southern states. Cigarette paper now comes
exclusively from France and is derived from flax.
The plant in our territory, when completed, initia!
ly will use flax grown in Minnesota and California,
but we hope that flax will be grown in good
scale in the South when the new industry takes
hold The plant the Davidson river will have
sufficient capacity to take care of about onethird
of domestic cigarette paper consumption.-Presi-
dent E. f. Norris of Southern Railway.

TRUCK CROPS: Here's a good
word picture Of the rapid develop
ment Of our truck crops. The J..
r. Thomas Produce company IS
one Of several buyers. There are
two cannerics and the curb mar
ket, all splendid outlets.
Every Saturday Il large truck
leaves for the Jacksonville mar
ket, in addition to miscellaneous
shipments throughout the week.
The truck with trailer last Satur-
day contained $4,000 pounds Of
vegetables which brought $500 on
Sundays wholesale market in
jacksonville. 1t contained beans,
corn, squash, pepper, apples, to-
matoes and lima beans. 1t was
loaded to the limit, the packages
extending to u height of y feet
from the street level. Mr.. Thomas
thinks it is the largest load ever
shipped from Hendersonville.
Jacksonville maintains a Sun
dav market. This is the distribu-
ton point to many Florida points.
Trucks leaving here Saturday aft
ernoon reach Jacksonville for the
Sunday morning market, much of
the produce being engaged sold
before it leaves HendersonvilIe.
From there it moves to many
places for Mondays markets.
Mr.. Thomas says his firm has
cooperated with many growers
and that except for the early
beans, when the market went on
the rocks, they have made money:
There are other marketing and
cooperative growing agencies
shipping out tons upon tons OF
produce.
What a wonderful transforma-
ton in marketing over period OF
10 years. What is our limit? VIII
our people take advantage Of this
situation or are they afraid Of
the many ups and downs con-
nected with truck crops? Are
those following it regularly, max
ing money?

NATIoNALISM is NOT THE CREATION
OF DICTATORS
(BY BRUCE CATION


states of Europe gave cold reception 20
Secretary HulPs recent appeal for world
wide peace 1t would be a profound mis-
take, however, to assume that what he had
to say was addressed solely to them, or
that the rest of the world is sOlidly in
agreement with his remarks.
For the secretary of state was really
reading lecture to people of all nations,
his own included; and the real target Of
his attack was not 50 much the current
resort to armed force as the underlying
attitude which makes that resort to force
seem advisable.
For what Mr.. Hull was driving at was
the economic nationalism which has alb
Sorbed all of the great nations since the
war; the idea popular almost everywhere,
that one people can prosper only at the
expense Of someone else, and that since
there are not enough good things to go
around it behooves each nation to get what
it can while the getting is good.
Before the war, international trade
flowed fairly freely. There was q steady
interchange Of goods which benefited both
sides
After the war, however, there came a
change Trade barriers went up and up.
People began to feel that if they bought
(no matter how cheaply) from outside
their own country anything which they
could possibly produce tnO matter how
,,vnane;yal,l ;pcida ib.ir ,,u.p cOuptry thaV
were somehow being gypped. And finally,
as Mr.. Hull says:
LAS trade barriers mounted on every
side, as the movement toward economic
nationalsm gained momentum, it became
only too clear that either the excessive
trade barriers must be reduced or the pres
sures of nations to gain access to needed
raw materials and to equally necessary
foreign markets by conquest Of additional
territory and tactics of the mailed fist
would become intensified"
Which means very simply, that the
world put straitjacket on itself through
this mad quest for national self-sufficiency,
and that the war pressures now evident
are heIeIS IHe IeSulI VI IlS 4LlPelaIIN hee"
to break out of that strait Jacket.
Which, in turn, means that it is not only
the dictator nations that are at fault.
The great demOCracies, including our
own, have done their full share in the job
of reducing freedom of trade and ease of
communications. The tariff barriers, quota
restrictions and other obstacles to a nor
NAL interchange of goods were not invent
ed by the dictatOrs.
In the long run, the nations can prosper
only by returning to the old system of do
ing business with one another on the fair
est and friendliest basis possible. Let's
hope they don't have to fight another great
war before that truth dawns on them.
