A UNION OF DEMOCRACIES

In the muddled and uncertain state of
the world affairs, with nations growing
at each other and dictators trying to get
control of the world and threatening the
liberty of democracies, any sane proposal
for an agreement among nations which
will work, to preserve the democratic prin-
ciple to which many countries besides our
own adhere, is entitled to serious consid-
Grafton, though not necessarily offhand &C
ceptance.
Such proposal has been made by Clar
ence K. STREET, gentleman of high schol-
arly attainments and close, practical con-
facts with and understanding of the ma
tional points of view and principles of the
nations of the world Mr.. STREET has lately
returned to America from ten years spent
in Geneva as chief reporter of the activities
of the League of Nations for the most i'm
partial newspaper in America, The New
York Times.
Mr. Streit's qualifications and experience
entitle him to a respectful hearing.
Therefore, we believe there should be seri-
Gus study of his proposal of Federal
Union of the leading democracies Of the
world, organized on similar lines to the
Federal Union of the thirteen independent
colonies which got together to form the
United States of America.
If the Federal Union now existing in this
county were to be extended to take in as
members, on the same basis as states have
been taken in in the past, such nations as
England Ireland, Canada, Australia, New
Zealand, the Union of South Africa,
France, Switzerland, Belgium, Denmark,
Holland, Norway, Sweden and Finland,
that worldwide combination of democra-
cies would rule the world and provide the
most effective possible insurance Of human
development and prosperity and the surest
safeguard against war.
It is an idea worth considering.

AN AMAZING PERSONALITY

However strongly people may differ
with political and governmental policies,
there is universal admiration Of his cour-
age and fortitude in the face of physical
handicap which would have foored almost
any other man. Even his friends believed
that when he left the sanitarium at Warm
Springs in 1923 to run for Governor of New
York he could not possibly stand the strain
of public office.
That was eleven years ago, and Mr..
Roosevelt today is in better physical con-
dition than any President has ever been
after six years in office.
Except that he cannot walk unaided, he
has the build of an athlete, and while car
rying far greater load of personal respon-
sibility than most Presidents have shout
dered, he finds time for daily exercise to
keep himself in trim
One of the secrets of Mr.. Roosevelt's con-
tinued endurance is his ability to throw off
cares Of office for frequent periods of re-
taxation Just now he is aboard the cruis-
er Houston in the Caribbean, watching the
Navy maneuvers, which are fun for him.
It is his first vacation since the Christmas
holidays, the first time he has spent as
much as six weeks continuously in the
White House. No President ever Travelled
more nor got as much recreation from his
travels.
In the nearly eighteen years since he was
stricken with infantile paralysis Mr.. Roose-
welt has travelled farther than anyone could
have thought possible in 1921. The quail
ties of will-power and vitality which
pulled him through have won him the re-
spect even of those who do not admire him.

Several Shops
Are Damaged
By Boone Fire

Boone, Feb. 27.-A fire which
is thought to have started from
the furnace caused serious dam
age to shops in the Pat MCGUIRE
Building on the Main street of
Boone just before noon today,
The equipment of Boone Photo
Shop and clothing, furniture, ETC.,
of Paul Weston's, who lived
on the second floor, were serious
ly damaged by smoke and water.
Three other families who lived
on the second floor suffered heavy
damage to furniture and house
hold articles and clothing through
smoke and water.
On the first floor, Bare's Fare
Department Stores stock of
goods was partially destroyed,
and equipment of the Mcclure
Beauty Salon was slightly dam
aged.
Fireman put up a ladder and
climbed up the outside of the
building to rescue Mrs. Weston's
cat, which was perched on the
outside of the window.
The total amount of damage
done has not been estimated yet
and was only partially covered
by insurance.

istrator, Herbert Hoover, issued poster
containing the words "Our Allies" Presi-
dent Wilson wrote him reminding him that
the words "Our Associates in the War; was
the proper phrase, adding that the Ameri-
can people were very jealous of any init
nation of formal alliances.
If we should be forced into another war;
it will not be as allies of any other nation,
but in defense of our own rights alone.

DR.. Mcdonald
Wins His Fight
or Recovery

Black Mountain, Feb. 25.-
Happy winner in his long fight
for the restoration of his health,
DR.. Ralph w. Mcdonald left the
the Western North Carolina San
3torium Sunday morning and re-
turned to his home and family
at Winston Salem. His physici-
an reported him to be in excel
lent condition, declaring that
with reasonable care he will be
fully restored to his former
strength and be able to carry on
any activities he may choose.
The educator was stricken with
tuberculosis two years ago at Ra-
leigh, his breakdown, according
to his physician, being induced by
over-strenuous campaigning COM
bined with attendance upon law
school during the general cleo
ton of 1886, when he canvassed
the Democratic party and his
former primary opponents, Gov
ernor Clyde R. Hoey.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1939-03-02
DICTATORS COME HIGH

One of the favorite trickS-of-th e-trade of
the dictators is to show how they have end
ed unemployment and want in their coun-
tries, and to argue from this that one-man
government is the way to human happi-
ness and prosperity. The government
dominated German press, for instance, is
always publishing articles about want and
starvation in America, as proof of their
theory that democracy is degenerate and
out-of-date theory of government.
In the light of that, some figures present
ed by Paul Mallon representing months
of careful personal investigation, penetrat-
ing guarded dictatorial secrets" are of ex-
ceptional interest.
In Russia according to this survey, the
average worker gets $11 a week, and in
Germany he gets $12 to $15 In the United
States he gets $2332.
In Russia, the lowest paid class of work
ers get $3.50 and in Germany $4.25 In this
country they get $4.85 (WPA minimum).
And that doesn't tell half the story. The
Dig Cn1nS OF interest 10 Lne worker any
where is real wages"-that is, his pay
computed in terms of what it will buy,
rather than in terms of dollars, marks or
rubles. And here the comparison is even
more unfavorable to the industrial slaves
of the dictators. A pound of steak costs a
dollar or more in either Russia or Ger
many as against 80 cents here A pound of
coffee costs $12 in Russia and $1.25 in Ger
many, as against % cents here. A dozen
eggs costs $1.26 in Russia and Y cents in
Germany, as against "A cents here. So goes,
down the list of necessities and luxuries.
What is responsible for our world SUI
premacy in the workers standard Of liv-
ing? You can answer that in three words
the capitalistic system, which en-
courages private enterprise. You can de-
nounce that system all you please, but
what else has brought about the industrial
progress that has given us more money for
less work-and has given even low paid
workers things that only the favored mi
nority in the relationships can buy?
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1939-03-02
NO ENTANGLING ALLIANCES

It is not so long ago since the United
States was engaged in the greatest foreign
war in our history that men still in the
prime of life cannot remember its begin
ming and its end
One does not have to be forty to recall
the slogan "He kept us out of war; which
was the victorious battle-cry of the Demo-
cratic Party in 1916 or to remember how,
less than six months after his reelection,
President Woodrow Wilson was forced by
circumstances and the pressure of public
opinion to call upon Congress to declare
war against Germany.
Nobody would be safe in venturing a
prophesy in these troubled days that some
similar circumstances and an aroused
public opinion may not drag the United
again into war.
One point is not always clear in the
minds of the people today ought to be kept
to the fore in all the war talk. That is that
