GOVERNMENT KILLS INDUSTRY

As understood here, the utilities companies were
not merely complaining of competltlon-the heart
of their complaint was that they were facing de-
struction as a result of government-hnanced conf
petition.
Therefore, should the Supreme court of the Uni
ted States affirm the decision of the three-Judge
court at Chattanooga, it appears to the lay mind
that it will place the stamp of constitutional legality
upon government-inanced competition with any
private enterprise, whether it be power production
and distribution operation of textile mills banks,
department stores, railroads. bus lines, automobile
factories, or what not.
If government-fnauced competition with utilities
companies is lawfully, why would not government
financed competition with any other business not
be lawful? .-.. "a. ........ .. ..
Has the time come when the government using
revenue derived from taxes imposed upon private
enterprise and all the people, can finance and set
up competition with any private enterprise, driving
IL out of business and developing a government
monopoly that pays no taxes? If so, where will it
stop? What private enterprise will be safe? And
what becomes of the American Observation-Disclosures

LOW COST HOUSING

One thing that puzzles the average man is why
the housing and slum clearance enthusiasts-spe-
cialists is hardly the right word, and experts GER
tainy don't fit at all-continue to plan and scheme
to build five and six thousand dollar houses for
people who now find it difficult to pay even the
slum priced rents for places in which to live.
Probably none of the people ousted from their
slum homes to make way for these visionary build
ing projects will ever be able to pay the rents
which must be asked for such houses.
And our self-constituted official housing pro-
motors gIbly talk about them Glow cost hous-
ing"
It's joke-or it would be if it were not all such
costly and wasteful experimenting by incompetent
theorists
Model homes are all right, but the sort of model
homes which men and women want, who have been
living in what many of us have been pleased to
call slums, are houses which plain and simple,
but warm and comfortable and reasonably conven-
lent and modern without being elaborate or even
up-to-the-minute, and at a price which they can
afford to pay.
That such houses can be built, to be reasonably
convenient and modern is not to be doubted; but it
is doubtful if they can be built under official mani
pulation and red tape, at a cost for which former
slum residents can afford to pay rent.
That conclusion would seem to be warranted by
the results up to date of the slum clearance and
housing projects which have attracted so much of
our attention.
1t would be interesting to see what might be
done in the way of actually low cost housing by
somebody with practical ideas who has no model
home complex-Rock Hill Herald.

THE NEW DEAL
IN WASHIN GTC II
BY RODNEY BUTCHER.

Friends Of the Abraham Lincoln
Brigade"
Robert Merriman Of Reno,
former economies instructor at a
California university, is the bril-
gade'S chief of staff.
Philip Detro, a Roosevelt DEM
ocrat from Texas, is now COM
handing officer OF the battalion.
He had been in Germany and
Japan and came to hate fascism.
Harry Hines Of New York,
former editor of the National
Maritime Unions publication, The
Pilot. was killed in action. Also
killed was Sam Levinger, son of a
prominent Cincinnati RABBI. So
was another friend of Amlie'S, the
son of a former Los Angeles
mayor
Amlie thinks the intellectual
level Of = the American bat
talon is higher than that of any
military group ever assembled. 1t
includes lawyers, editors, writers,
professors, poets and many COL
lege graduates.
About Is per cent of the Ameri-
can troops are Communists and
they make good fighters, says
Amre, who doesn't like Com
munism. He voted once for
Hoover and once for Roosevelt.
Amlie insists there's little Com
muniSm in Spain.
The republican forces will win
the war unless Germany and Italy
strengthen their forces by hum
dreds Of thousands of more troops
Amlie thinks. He has some thrill
ing stories of American heroiSm
in vital battles and will be telling
them over the country in an effort
to raise funds for the rehabilita-
ton of members of the Lincoln
battalion who have been partially
or totally disabled b u,MIpy.. .u
Modern bullets now make a

pocket where it stuck out like
riches in China and Ethiopia.
When ! reached the school yard
gate, there, surrounded by GER
tain admiring, kowtowing satel-
lites, stood the bully looking for
someone he dared bedevil. His
glance fell on me; then on the
protuberance caused by the APP
pie in my pocket. He guessed
what it was, covered it and de-
cided to have it-just as Japan
and MuSsolini did with China and
Ethiopia.
When he tried to take my APP
pie l pushed him away.

he snarled, and advanced on me
threateningly.
l backed away and picked up
a rock. The bully sneered, dared
me to hit him and bore down on
me. l let him have the rock on
the jaw. By the time he had re-
covered from the blow l was half
way home-and had done it in

WASHINGTON Although the
W State Department doesn't
grant passports to Spain, couple
of thousand Americans have con-
trived to get into that country
to bear arms for the Spanish re-
publican government.
About 1900 Americans are men,
bers of the Abraham Lincoln bril-
gade and about 1900 others are
aiding the Spanish government in
medical trucking, tractor and 9TH
er services. More than $50 Ameri-
can fighters have been killed in
the past year and perhaps twice
as many wounded.
Occasionally a senator banks
about the activities of these VOL
unteerS. Recent dispatches show
their battalion is being used in the
Loyalist effort to hold Teruel
against the Franco forces.
There is nothing the State De-
partment can do about this
situation except deplore the fact
that so many Americans are so
un-neutral, and perhaps watch
passports more carefully
Curiosity naturally arises as to
who tf" Americans are. One of
them, it can be said, is Hans
Amlie, brother of Congressman
Thomas R. Amlie Of Wisconsin.
Hans has Just returned after
nearly a year with the Jnterna-
tional Brigade. He was command
er of the Lincoln battalion at the
important battles of Quinto and
Belchite, and has been wounded
twice. Recently he was married to
Miss Mile Bennett, well known
American newspaperwoman, a t
brigade headquarters in Albacete.

of a former Ohio governor and
himself a former English profess
scr, was rnachine-gunner in
