POOR FRANK

We don't envy Frank Hancock, who is trying TO
take Bob Reynolds senate seat away from hm.
The voters expect genuine, hot and heavy cam
paigr for this, one of the highest honors within
the bestowa of state that always takes its honors
seriously ,and Frank at least is doing his best to
accommodate them
But what is there, now, when you come down
to brass tacks to attack about Bob Reynolds ex-
cept Bob Reynolds himself? His record? He hasn't
any to speak of. Beyond Supinely uphoding the
domestic policy and opposing the foreign policy
of the administration, we'll as going down the
line for all federal handouts that anybody sug-
gested, Bob has been content to keep his fences
mended and to have a good time The only bill of
national Importance that he has introduced is one
to deport aliens, and aliens matter Of COM
parative indifference to state which is SO 44100
per cent pure Anglo-Saxon. Away back there in
the dark ages he also proposed an amendment to
an unemployment relief bill that would have re-
quired the government to pay prevailing wages
The amendment lost
He has displayed supreme contempt for the
condition of the federal budget, it is true, but so
has nearly every other member of congress, so
that he is not much worse than the pack in that
respect. But as for his senatorial career, it has
been characterized chiefly by carefree enjoy
ment of his position and its perquisites and if Han
cock bears down on that he will certainly be ac-
cused of mud-slnging and resorting to personali-
ties.
We do not, we say, envy Frank Hancock. He's
got playboy for an opponent, and he will offend
the proprietes if he mentions it.--Charlotte News

he can lend anyone in any amount

guards on RFC loans are off. Only
six votes from among 53l mem

this remarkable grant of financial

conservative operation has popu-
larized the chairman. One group
criticiZing the new loan bill COM
plains that turning all that money
over to Jesse won't do any good
because he will be so tight-fiSted
with it.
RFC has operated mostly in Sc
cret, usually concealing the
names of its borrowers, the
amounts and circumstances and
such considerations as whether its
own experts approved the loans.
Heretofore its loans have been
limited to industrial and CONNER
cial corporations, but the new law
says it can't lend to "any business
enterprise"
Previous limits of five years on
the life of a loan and of $500, 900
to any industrial borrower have
been wiped out, as have provi-
Sions that loans be made only
where employment would thereby
be maintained or increased. Past
requirements for adequate Secur-
ity are abandoned and loans can
now be made when RFC feels
reasonably" assured of repay
ment. Also, RFC may now buy
stock in companies. Mr.. Jones
might. if he so desired, invest tens
of millions in the business of a
friend. That shows how much
Congress trusts him.
Those who fear RFC won't
lend money where they think
it's needed are still plugging for
the plan of SEC Chairman Will
liam 0. Douglas for system of
regional industrial banks. These
banks would invest and assist pri-
vate houses in underwriting. But
government capital and private
capital would share the risk. e.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
BORROW AND BET ON ANOTHER NEW DEAL

President Roosevelt's recommendation that the
United States plunge seven thousand million ooi-
lars deeper into recovery" adventure mVi'eS
the republic to risk its existence another thro"
of dice.
1t is a proposal to cure the first failure OF the
New Deal to effect Recovery by repeating 'he
causes of that failure.
1t is bold defiance of every rule Of SOUND ousi-
ness known to the experience of mankind in all It's
history.
1t is adoption of the "plan" urged by the I'D
erals the Socialists" of the great cities, VINO
above all desire first the bankruptcy of the repuDlc
necessary step to its destruction and the erec-
ton of new form Of government on its runs.
The temporary recovery" in 1885 was tine
way we planned it; let no tell you dlherehtiy'
That recovery" promptly collapsed NOW we
plan it that way again.
In these words Of the president are confession OF
the plight into which the New Deal has thrown
it: Let unanimously recognize the TACT that
the federal debt, whether it be twenty-five Dihohs
or forty billions. can only be paid if the nation
obtains vastly increased income ! repeat that
if this citizen income can be raised to elghty Dill
lion dollars a year the national government and
the overwhelming majority of state and local gov
ernments will be out of the red"
That exactly is the feeling and the reasoning OF
the gambler whether in poker game or the stock
exchange who has already bet more than ne can
pay when he risks his watch and his shirt on one
more deal of the cards or speculation in shares.
The Prodigal Son created prosperity in his neigh
borhood while he was spending in riotous living, as
long as his substance lasted.
The president does not "plan" the ruin Of the
republic. His intentions are good

Citing Roosevelt administration ef-

schism in the ranks of organized
labor must be closed if the worker is
