WHAT DO WE. DO NOW?

Again northern and western Democrats deserted
their fellow party members of the South when they
voted to invoke cloture on the anti-lynching bill
debate, move which, thanks to northern Repub-
hcans, was defeated.
The old time national Democratic party that the
South knew and gave its loyalty to, and that in
turn was loyal to the South is only memory now.
In It's successful effort to get and to keep the
northern negro vote it has, to put it inelegantly but
truthfully, kicked the South in the pants.
Where, them does the South go from here?
South Carolinians would like to know the views
on this vital matter from it's political leaders Inc

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
A CHALLENGE TO OUR FARMERS

The new farm measure passed by congress is
designed financially to aid the producers of the
major crops of the country.
Those major crops in the South cotton and
tobacco.
The legislation makes it mandatory upon the
federal government to pay producers of these crops
at price that will be more or less stationary, and
permanently high enough to give them profit out
of these productions.
Whatever the merits of the measure to that end,
there can be no question that it lays in the lap Of
the farmers of the South and Of North Carolina a
challenge, a responsibility and opportunity.
And these, all three of them, consist in opening
the way for our farming classes to lift themselves
into en- area of new and strong economic indepen-
dence-not by depending upon the higher prices
they are to receive for their major cashcrops, but
on the other hand by sustaining themselves from
their own fields.
North Carolina has peculiar renewed call by
reason of this legislation to undertake its self-sup
port
Thousands of acres of good lands are to be taken
out of cotton and tobacco cultivation.
These acreages thus abandoned should be utilized
to produce food and feed for man and beast.
We are now annually importing millions of dol
lars in both.
North SarOllna eats DuIleE anu eSSS anu udllS
products sent in from the far-away northwestern
tier of states beef from the plains and feedstufs
for livestock that comes from any section of the
country from which it can be bought.
We ought to be producing every article of this
vast array of foods that eat and every item of
feeds for cattle and livestock
1t be done right here in North Carolina and
We would venture the claim that it can be done on
the acreages abandoned from the usual cotton and
tobacco cultivation.
Indeed, this ought to become, and could become,
the chief of all the blessings to be derived from
this restrictive farm bill.
| There will be sufficiency of both land and
labor to convert into these productive channels,
and if North Carolina fails in this instance to grasp
this new opportunity, it will commit grevous sin
against its self-nterest and the chance that has
been opened up to achieve new degree of eco

/ with sound business principles, as the pub
lie debt would thereby be reduced; but
that is not done, the money is spent for
any and all purposes and new promises to
pay are written to cover the cash thus col
lected and used.
As the government has no money for
any purpose whatever except that which is
collected from the taxpayers, it does not
require the knowledge of fiscal expert to
readily see that the public debt is being
increased by this course. Old age pension
money is being wasted, chucked into rat
holes, as fast as it is collected and vast
sums are being covered with government
promises to pay. What then of the future
when immense obligations to cid age pen
sioners have accumulated? The govern
ment, if still solvent at that future time,
will have to raid the resources of the tax
PAYERS for cash to meet the obligation
and this will have to be done AGAIN, A
SECOND TIME, as the money first collect
ed will have gone with the wind.
The net result is that the country will
be double taxed to finance social security
benefits. This and other glaring defects OF
the law justify Frank Kent's assertion that
in some of its basic provisions it is swim
die and the time is coming when it will be
so branded and regarded by the people of
this country.

price levels run up and down the
chart in the same relative dircc-
| ton.
In 1929. however, raw material
prices rose above finished goods
prices on the chart, and then sud-
denly the raw materials price
level dropped far below its prcvi-
Gus relative position under the
finished goods level. Finished
goods thereafter also proceeded to
decline steadily in price from
1929 to 1888, but neither so fast
nor so far.
History repeats. Late in 1896
raw material prices, after moving
along at about the same rate for
18 months of healthy recovery.
again shot ahead Of the finished
goods level. Demand had speed
ed up-including that of the mu-
nitions industry. Drouth had
raised prices. Controlled price
industries raised prices arbitrarily.
Manufacturers, believing raw ma
terials were going still higher,
bought speculatively and forced
prices still higher-until they be-
came overstocked.
Pig iron Increased from a 1896
index average of l03 to 1875, scrap
steel 100 to l54, building mate

to 81, hides 81 to 1874, copper 68
to ia, lead SIS to 35. zinc CO to
100, leather IS to 100, tin y
10 95.
So what? So overstocked manu-
factuerS stopped buying over
priced material and raised their
own prices in order 10 compensate
for high-priced raw materials and
higher wages. Raw material
prices then tobogganed far below
the finished goods price levels, as
in 1908.
(They have dropped l6 per
cent in the last year, finished
goods only 2 per cent?

THE UNHAPPY WITNESS

WASHINGTON. case ROOSC-
w welt hasn't made himself clear
in his remarks as to prices and
recovery, it may or may not be
more Illuminating to reveal what
the administration ace economists
told him in their preceding hud-
dies.
There had been heavy kick
backs on previous Roosevelt state
ments, especially the one about
cutting steel prices and maintain
ing steel wages, and an increas-
ingly vociferous demand for a
definite statement of business
policy.
So Roosevelt called in the Geo.
nomic soothsayers and asked them
to figure out just what they were
sure of as to the depression-past,
present and future.
Everyone agreed that out-of-
balance price relationships were a
prime depression factor. Such
economists as Leon Henderson of
WPA, now resting up from his
price studies at Johns Hopkins
Hospital, and DR.. Isador Lubin of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics
had been talking in that direc-
ton for long time. Either they
didn't speak loudly or distinctly
enough or the President was hard
of hearing.
Now. however, the world is in
formed that the administration
has a real business policy. In adj
dltlon to hammering al controlled,
rigid, or monopolistic prices on
the high side of the price level
after the manner of Robert H.
Jackson, emphasis is to be placed
on the need of raising prices driv-
en- far down on the low side in
the current depression.
The campaign to lower some
prices and raise others is for the
moment one OF ballyhoo and pSy-
chology.
The economists brought their
fever charts to the White House
by royal command and cited one
outstanding parallel in events
leading up to the Hoover deprcs-
sion of l929-33 and those pre-
cedlng the Roosevelt depression
Of 1878?
Each time, they SAID, raw mate
rails had jumped out of bounds.
Normally, they explained, the raw
material and the finished goods

Anyone who has spent much
time in American courts can full
ly appreciate that witnesses state
of mind. ITO tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth"-but let the witness try
to do it! Often he is so badgercd,
threatened, interrupted, insultcd,
and so piled with suggestions and
insinuations that unless he is re-
markably clear-hcaded he does
not know whether he is coming
or going.
Sometimes the witness has a
tougher time than the accused.
1FOr one thing, he may be locked
up as material witness" and
kept locked up because he can
not furnish the bond required to
guarantee his appearance in court
while the accused is mcrrily out
on bail. Small wonder there is
frequently difficulty in finding
persons who will admit they know
anything about a case!

Society Girl VIII Dive
For Treasure Long Sunk

BOSTON.-Three women, one a
society girl. were listed as divers
in the crew aboard the 65-foot
schooner Story II, engaged in a
search for sunken gold off the Mas
sachusetts coast.
The expedition headed for the wa
ter off Cape Cod and along the
Massachusetts coast generally.
Members are pledged to continue
the treasure hunt until water and
weather grow too cold.
Included in the crew of 10 were
the schooner's owner and skipper,
Herbert Talbot, a Boston wool bro
ker, and Mrs. Talbot, and their son,
Story.
The most modern diving equip
ment was obtained to expedite the
search for treasure, announced Tai
bot and the women have their
duties cut out for them. All three
rehearsed frequently with the tele-

ton harbor floor for several weeks,
wearing lead-weighted shoes and
bathing suits.
