ALFRED M. LANDoN, A DEMOCRATIC
SYMBOL ..... ......
lRv BRUCE CATION

(By BRUCE CAIION)
The composition of the United States
delegation at the Lima conference bears
eloquent testimony to the difference be-
tween democracy and dictatorship - and
the lesson cannot be missed by delegates
from the other New World nations.
- For if the head of the American delega-
ton is Cordell Hull, the Number Two man
is Alfred NJ. Landon of Kansas. Mr.. Lam
dOnS presence on the delegation, and the
'active part he has taken in furthering the
United States program, are immensely sig
-niicant."
If one of the relationships were sending
"a full-dress delegation to an important in
Aternational conference, it is certainty
that the leader of the opposition (if any,
would not have place in it.
Even the most active imagination can
not. for instance, picture Soviet Russia
sending out delegation which included
leon Trotsky, or Germany selecting mis-
sion graced by the presence of-let US say
Herr Schuschnigg of Austria. Trotsky is
AN exile and Schuschnigg is prisoner, and
both are rather lucky to be alive at all.
So that the fundamental difference be-
tween a dictatorship and democracy is
effectively underlined by Landon's pres
sence at Lima And it means a great deal
more than mere difference between the
personal magnanimity of an American
President and European dictator.
- 1t means that inefficient and wasteful de-
mocracy is somehow smart enough to use
the brains and energy of people who hap
pen to disagree with the party in power,
while dictatorship is not. A dictatorship
can use only those people who are 100 per
cent in agreement with the boss. They
may be gifted people-brilliaht, devoted,
deeply patriotic, immensely industrious
but if they don't see things precisely as the
head man sees them, or if they have ever
opposed him on any important policy, then
they are completely useless.
3 And when you stop to think about it,
this epitomizes the gravest of all the many
objections to the totalitarian state. ~
IS The progress that. human society has
made to date has been a progress of coop
Seration. Men have differed violently, down
through the generations, but somehow
they have managed to pool their efforts
aand harmonic their varying contributions
so as to climb slowly but surely up the lad:
der OF civilization. 1t is the only possible
way in which that difficult ascent ever can
be made. --.-
- The idea of dictatorship is denial OF
That fundamental element in progress. Il
would cut mankind off from the principa
source of its strength. In order to mass
force effectively for a momentary objec
tive, it sacrifices the only channel through
which the races vast fund of intelligence
Drawn and good will can be utilized eff
geiently.

BASEBALL TALENT
Several Men Shifted and
Four Are To Go; Issue
Uniforms Monday

Shakeups and looping off four play
ers featured the afternoon workout
of candidates for Henderson high
school baseball team as Coach Bing
Miller began an intensive drive to
get. the boys in condition for play.
Tommy Jenkins an outfielder last
year has been, brought behind the
plate to bolster catching as Dick
Galloway hasn't shown the ability to
hit and field that was expected Of
him.
Six pitchers remain on the staff,
but two of these were slated to be
dropped after today's workout Ed
wards, seems a. fixture at first base,
but Rideout's weak hitting caused
Miller to give Douglas Falkner a
chance at second base. Captain How
ard Hobgood will be at short, while
Forsythe has been shifted to third
base. This boy has wonderful arm,
but has tendency to fight the ball,
which Miller hopes to remedy. In
the outfield, Russell Turner looks
mighty good at center, while Coghill
and Bobbitt are battling for a berth
there. Miller plans to use one of his
pitchers in the outfield when not
working on the hill, thus necessitat-
ing the looping off of two outfield
candidates.
Uniforms will be issued Monday,
and Miller plans to have his first
game Friday.

the mile.
The record for the period from July
1, 1885, to February 1, 1898, is regard
ed as even more impressive. In this
two and half years, 1892 miles of
rural electrical lines were built or au
thorized at a total cost of $7,517 ,666 to
serve 1906 customers.
Not a single mile of these lines has
been built by the North Carolina
Rural Electrification Authority, nor,
as stated, has single penny of State
money been used in their construc-
lion. sas<g34A
3 The State authority has made sur
veys Of rural electric needs, has arous-
ed the interest. of rural people in cleo
tricity and pointed out where rural
lines have been needed and particular
areas where the people have wanted
lines. 1t has encouraged the Rural
Identification Administration in
Washington, public utility companies
and municipalities to build as many
miles as possible.
"Our job has been to see that the
farmers living in rural areas who
wanted electric service got it as quick
ly as possible and with as reasonable
rates as possible consistent with ade
quate service said Dudley w. Bag
ley, chairman of the State REA. '"The

FARMERS"
Of the 1882 miles of rural lines
either built or authorized during the
time the State authority has been in
operation, 6,022 miles have been built
or authorized by the utilities. COM
panies, 552 miles by municipalities and
SIT miles by the Rural Identification
Administration at Washington.
Under North Carolina law setting
up the State REA, all proposed pro-
jects must be approved by the au
thority- before construction can be
started and all applications for loans
from the Federal REA must be sub
mitted through the state authority
The reason so many more miles of
rural lines have been built by the pub
lie utilities than 10y the Federal REA
is due to the fact that in most cases
the utilities made their surveys, Sc
cured the approval of their lines and
got them built before loan applica-
tions for coOperatives could get the
approval of REA in Washington.
Rapid expansion of rural electrifi-
cation in the State has been due in
part to cooperation given by the agri-
cultural extension division oof the
State College, and to educational work
it has done among farmers, both land
lords and tenants. a5tafsrfse'

and teachers of agriculture in the
