OUR DANGER LIES
IN SUPER R-ENTHUSIASM

Adequate national defense is vitality
necessary to the prosperity and integri-
ty of our nation. We have held that view
for many years, but it shall never drive
us into an hysterical demand for greater
armaments than any other nation has.
The United States need not equal Ger
many or Great Britain in its standing
army in order TO have an adequate de
fense force. 1t need not build battle
ships without end, nor guns without
number. 1t needs only enough to defend
its own borders against aggression. No
more
In the current wave of national de-
fense" talk, there is one very grave
very real danger. 1t lies in the fact that
our national administration, admittedly
an administration of super-enthusiaSm,
is liable to let its imagination run away
with its common sense in this matter of
national defense.
We are not contemplating any war on
foreign soil, and should not ever con-
template one. The first one was enough.
We have not recovered from it yet.
Therefore we do not need an army suf-
ficient to fight foreign war. We want
an armed force large enough to defend
us against aggression, but we do not
want forces big enough to make of us
potential aggresSorS-nor potential saw
iours of the world
We tried that once-under Wilson.
And the world, far from being saved,
is in worse shape than it was after we
got through saving.
Admittedly, we must spend large sums
to procure adequate defense. Let us not,
however, exceed those sums by piling
on greater armaments, for which we
should have no use whatever unless we
went to war in Europe.
Let us study carefully the exact needs
of this nation from purely defense an
GLE and build to meet those needs :.
Let US not make defense hysteria an
excuse for boundless spending, and let
us not camouflage relief under the name
of national defense.
Let's stay away from extremes.
Pacifism is dangerous if it disarms the
nation completely. Therefore we need
an adequate army and navy, and should
have a large trained reserve. Radical
militarism, on the other hand, is just
as dangerous.
There is sane, middle course in this
matter of national defense. We hope the
administration takes it.

ECONOMIC PLANNING
HIGHLY DESIRABLE

1t would be hard to find an honest
economist or an honest business man
who does not favor economic planning.
Therefore it would be hard to find
one who would disagree with Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace when
he says that economic planning is the
saviour rather than the destroyer of
democracy in times like these"
We shall go Secretary Wallace one
better.
Economic planning is the saviour of
any nation, democracy or dictatorship,
at any time.
The method of this economic planning
is another matter. The phrase has been
so widely used in this country by New
Dealers that it has come to mean plan
ming solely by the government for busi-
ness.
We should like to see economic plan
ming in which government and business
worked together, seeking the common
goal of prosperity for all.
That, and not government coercion
of business, would be true economic plan
ming.

THE CLASS SYSTEM
lEmnnria GaZpttel

If we Americans set up permanent
two-price schedule in this country, one
price for the rich and one price for the
poor, we will have two kinds of people,
one definitely well-to-do, another defin-
itely poor. A poor mans price sets
poor man in a class-conscious isolation.
Whatever physical benefits he has, if
he buys on the poor" price he has paid
in self-reSpect for his material gains.
A poor mans price makes poor mans
spirit.
The two-price scheme is part of the
general leveling down process of the
New Deal. 1t is un-American. The New
Deal for all its noble experiments is un-
fair to the man endowed with initiative,
organizing talent and exceptional energy
The New Deal is also eating out the CUTS
of the common man.
And God help our America if this
class-conscious policy of our government
continues for another four years

A MANS RIGHT

Charleston News and Courier)
Conceding that a large proportion of
the Americans are under-nourished. ill
clad and ill-housed and ought to have
more money, the News and Courier holds
that when given the money they should
be allowed to do with it as they choose.
If it be that John Smith is entitled to
$1,000 from the national treasury We
say it should be his privilege to buy a
car with it however the boni in Washing
ton and Columbia believe that he should
spend it in repairing his bungalow. Your
average South Carolinian, white or black
is pretty sure to keep his belly tolerably
full of food, of kind and doesn't want
a house of his own or better clothes until
he has acquired car. The great question
in these parts is keeping the tank full,
not the belly full, and the government
has no right to dictate which should be
filled first.

TOMORROW'S TAXES
FOR UNCLE SAM
(Orange News)

NOfanSe N6WS)
No longer can the American citizen
look abroad at the heavy tax burden
borne by the European citizen and with
a sigh of relief thank providence that
he is not cursed with an equally heavy
burden. The shoe is on the other foot.
Actual cost of government in this coun-
try now challenges that of Great Britain.
According to figures compiled by the
United States Chamber of Commerce,
American taxes in 1887 were AZ per
cent more than in 1923 and % per cent
more than in 1923.
British per capita taxes, on the con-
trary, were per cent less in 1887 than
in 1923 and only 5 per cent more than in
1928"
Actual per capita taxes collected in
this country about equal the per capita
tax in Britain. But, Britain has stead
fastly clung to balanced budget, or very
close to one, while since 1890 this coun-
try has squandered itself into red to the
tune of S24,000000,000 In other words,
there are S24,000 100000 of deferred
taxes hanging over the head of Ameri-
can citizens which eventually must be
paid. Otherwise. every man, woman and
child in the country will suffer the in
tolerable hardship of national bankrupt
cy.
The public purse strings must be
drawn against the irresponsible action of
demagogic politicians, or the American
dollar will sooner or later become moth
ing but a worthless souvenir. Invest
ments, jobs, opportunities, "cash" saw
ings-all will be wiped out.

Here is an interesting illustration,
taken from a story recently diStri-
buted by Science Service.
Science Service points out that
if large numbers of refugee Jews
from Germany are to be settled
in Tanganyika Territory-Where
plenty of fertile land is available
the menace of the tsetse fly, car
rier of sleeping sickness, will have
to be met.
1t can be met in various ways.
proper clearing of the land will
help to keep the insects under con-
troll. Care in choosing homesiteS
will also be a help. Most impor-
tant of all. is the fact that d Spe-
cific drug for the cure of African
sleeping sickness exists.
And here is the interesting part.
This drug is a pre-War German
invention. Known as Bayer 205. it
was developed by German chem
lists on the basis of researches
made by Germanys famous medi-
cal scientist, DR.. Paul Ehrlich--a
Jew
1t would be highly ironic. of
course, if Jews driven from Ger
many were to be settled in a for
mer German colony and protected
against disease by a German drug
which owes its existence TO the
genius Of a German Jew. But that
isn't the point just now. The point
is that if you try TO define the
real" Germany, you have to take
every step of that complicated
equation into account.
Biographers have spent a good
deal of time trying to get at the
real essence of great men-trying,
for instance, to define the real
Lincoln" And they always wind
UP by finding mixture. The real
Lincoln" for example, was both
the Lincoln who wrote the Gettys-
burg Address and the small-town
lawyer who liked to tell somewhat
off-color stories, the crafty prairie
politician and the statesman of
the second inaugural. Good and |
bad, shoddy and sterling, were in
eXtricably mixed in him as in all |
other men.
And the same is true of nations. |
The real Germany" is the Ger
many that persecutes Jews-and |
the Germany that provided the
world with a great weapon against |
death. 1t is Ehrlich as well as
Hitler, the victims as well as the
oppressors, the givers of gifts to
mankind as well as the tryants.
Which is something very much
worth remembering in these trying
days. We must hate wrong-but not |
comes, for much good also comes
from them.

keeping in mind today, when the
temptation to do exactly that is
sometimes almost irresistible.
1t is hard enough to sum up the
character of one man, if for no
other reason than that most of
us are a mixture of two or three or
more distinct personalities. At times
we are swell folks, and at times
we are pretty much akin to the
people whom society has to put
behind bars. And if individuals
can present contradictory traits,
how much more is that true of
