TREND TOWARD DICTATORSHIP

IL does not take a Solomon to that the trend
in this country is constantly drifting toward die
tatorship. Things began shaping in that direction
soon after the deal program was launched IN
1888 but the farther we got with the new deal the
nearer to dictatorship we find ourselves. Or
course there have been few setbacks because OF
the action of the supreme court killing the MIA
and the AAA. but then congress came along and
gave us the Farm Control Act which was grossly
misreprescned by its proponents prior to the cleo
ton and in this way were successful IN getting a
majority Of the farmers to support it. But even
in the provisions of who should have the right to
vote on the farm bill the hand of dictatorship
played very important part. since only farmers
who were to be favored by the legislation were al
lowed to vote. 1t distinctly piece of class
legislation from the very beginning-and very
select class of farmers at that
Now we see another evidence Of dictatoria pow
ers being exercised by the promoters of farm con
trol-thiS time by restricting the amount of to-
bacco the farmers are allowed to sell the border
markets 1t is getting pretty deep into the channel
of dictatorship when farmers are told how much
they can plant and how much they can sell of Ger
tain crops, but now they come along and tell the
farmers what they must do with reference to sell
ing tobacco on the border markets Before they
can sell one pound they must see the county agent
and get a permit to do So If that is not dictator
ship in the first analysis then admit that we
don't know what is meant by the term-Sema
Johnstonian-Sun.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
SAVING THE SOUTH

| The president had previously said that The
South is the nations No. 1 problem
| The Council Of Southerners appointed to
validate or to deny that statement-to support tbs
president or to leave him out on limb!
| The council secured, was offered, Mr.. Mellett
as its expert to serve this purpose.
! Mr.. Mellett is protege of then deal, picked
UP from a newspaper job and given White House
| appointment .. .....
| 1t would be wicked mouth that, given such an
appointment and specific mission to accomplish,
would snap back and bite the hand that feeds IT.
Mr. Mellett got all the most extravagantly de-
plorable facts about the South that his statistical
underings could detect in the mountainous tun
nels of the Washington bureaucracy handed them
to the commission and the commission of southern
ers put their signatures to the. document.
The president had charged in substance that the
South is the poorhouse of the nation,
Mr. Mellett found plenty of arithmetic in the
official archives of the capital to prove the state.
mept.
And the commission of southerners, themselves
appointed by the president We're, OF course under
the subsidy of the courteses which the situation
nposed-it sent Mr.. Mellett's findings to the world
under its own name and signature and, presto! Mr.
Roosevelt had proved by the mouth of the South
itself that this is the poorhouse of the nation!
Whatever further criticism which The Observer
feels to be justified in this connection attaches to
the omission of the possible other side of the South
as the Sore-toe of America.
Why were the favorable facts all silenced IN
this report?
Why did the council permit Mr.. Meett to
main thunderously mute about the dramatic trl-
umph of the South from the ashes in which 1t was
buried by the Civil War and the nsumountable
Federal handcaps under which it has suffered thru
the succeeding years?
Why has this commission of southerners put its
seal and mnprimatur upon official document that
exhibits all the sour and sorry statistics and none
of the thrilling and inspiring facts of the South 5
ascent of the wall during these past rs years?
Why has the president been allowed to vindicate
himself in charging that the South is the nations
No l economic problem when Mr. Melett and the
council, whose ostensible agent he was, could have
discovered continents of statistics from the same
official sources to indicate that the South is also
the No. economic paradise of the nation?
1t is not that we disguised with the report
because it hasn't told the truth. 1t has!
But the South should resent the fact that the
report was not allowed to tell the whole truth.
This is did not.-Charlottc Observer.

In this connection, we leave with the cogitating
public the views of Abraham Epstein, secretary OF
the American Association for Social Security, a
recognized authority in his field and probably the
leading figure in the fight to put a national social
security act on the statute books who likewise
utilized it's third anniversary to accuse the federal
treasury of "monstrous deception" in saying that
it had spent s344, 900 900 social security
than it had taken in for this purpose during the
period for which the legislation has been opera
tive. Mr.. Epstein submits that the government
has actually paid out 81 2S7, 100000 less than it
collected and has reduced the purchasing power
of the nations workers by that amount" This
withdrawal. at time when every effort avow-
edy being devoted to reviving industry, he de-
cares to have been "a major factor in bringing on
the recession. "-Greensboro News.

The idea that we ought to call halt on

TO use the ones we already have is not es-

pher. who suggested to London teachers

ventions likely to affect human life.
Science" says Prof. load, has given
us powers fit for gods, yet we bring to their
use the mentality of schoolboys and saw

the greatest Of mans inventions, which
nevertheless threatens his civilization with

plane. but the ape has got hold of it
.- In view of the things the airplane has
done in Spain and China, and considering
the things which everyone expects 1T to do
when fulr-dress major war breaks out,
this is hardly an Overstatement. Yet it is
hard TO believe that we must look for d
remedy by cutting down on new inventions.
Hard as the job may be, our salvation
can only lie along the line of living up to
our inventions. no matter how perpleXing
or far-reaching their effects may be.
1t would be pretty hard, for one thing,
TO look at a brand-new invention and say
lust how greatly it would eventually affect
human life. Eli Whitney's cotton gin can
hardly have looked like thing that would

What we usually fail to realize is that
the whole tangle of inventions, Jumped to-
gether under the term 1.-THE mechanical
age" has brought about the profoundeSt
revolution that the human race has yet
had to adjust itself to. That revolution
goes far beyond any political revolution /;
it involves complete and fundamental
change in the terms on which man exists
i'm the physical world.
We are in the midst of that revolution
right now, and we cannot possibly see
what things are going to be like when it
is over But the fact that we are in the
midst of it, while it may explain our blum
ders and our confusion, makes it impos-
sible for us to call a halt
We cannot put an embargo on new in
ventions For better or for worse we have
got to 20 ahead and make the best of them.
