On Communism Influence

by Lilienthal, dated October "a said:
MY dear Mr. Lilienthal:
Il have your letter and I regret
to say cannot agree with you. I
consider that the American Youth
Congress did condemn all the isms'
and declare themselves for democ-
racy. The creed they adopted states
this very definitely. -"
MY answers to the questions which
you have listed are:
81. The resolution passed by the
Youth Congress was their own and
I consider it better than yours.
%. I do not agree with you.
"3. There was no disorder and
Hinckley was arrested through a
misapprehension and over-zealous-
ness.
q. Because they have little money
and this is a cheaper way.
IS. 1t is quite easy to reconcile,
because it helps them, but it is not
true
Il have known many of these
young people and have taken the
time and trouble to find out for my
self what they believe in and what
they stand for and have not formed
my opinion from hearsay or news

that the leaders are 100 per cent for
our democracy"

McNutt Seeks 10 End
Foes Accusations Of
Fascistic Activity
His Democracy Views
Told in Meeting Here
And Louisville Speech
Blythe Associated Press.

Blythe Associated Press.
The impression has spread in
Washington that Paul V. McNutt
and his advisors are tired of hearing
fascistic adjectives coupled to his
name by his enemies, and are deter
mined to do something about it.
The adjectives have been fairly
widely, but not too specifically used
Apparently they had their origin In
Mr.. McNutt's realistic and some
times hard-boiled handling of diff
cult situations in Indiana and the
Philippines.
An effort to convince all and SUM-
dry OF his pure democratic views
was bespoken in heraldic whispers
A few of those from the inner robing
room of the New Deal were invited
to the Cosmos Club recently for a
private showing of the McNutt
brand of democracy.
Last night. the City and County
Teachers Association at Louisville
got peek at the same reel.
Views on Democracy.
Down near the middle of the
sample came this:
Implied in the very conception
of democracy is the notion of ar
educational system completely free
from the political and economic
pressures engendered in the com
munity in which it operates.
1iLor+ty is
by the provision for religious free.
dom in the first amendment to the
Constitution. Intellectual liberty is
secured by the provision in the
same amendment for the un-
restrained interchange of ideas.
Neither provision is compatible with
a political organization other thar
democratic one.
ut is only in a democracy that
dissidence of opinion is regarded
as anything but a menace to the
established order of things. II
is only in a democracy that de-
Walton from an authoritative sci
OF presuppositions can be tolerated
by those who assume the responsi.
bll1ty for guiding the destinies of the
state.
Broad Differences.
1T is only in a democracy thai
control over the thoughts and ex.
pressions of the people is regarded
as the one objectionable offense
against them"
The first one-third of the speech
was about social security and its
objective, the second two-thirds
dealt with democracy and demo.
cratic ideals.
Several broad differences Law be.
tween the Cosmos Club dinner ir
Washington and the speech il
Louisville. The first was private
unadvertised and informal. The
second was public, as formal as sucf
things generally are, and copies o.
the speech were to be had for tht
asking. Yet, the theme of the ad.
vertised meeting seems to groove
neatly into the notches cut by re.
ports OF the unadvertised one.

No Money Made In
Raising Frogs For
Sale, Farmer Finds

College Station, Raleigh, Feb. "a.
John c. Adcock, a farmer of Holly
Springs, Route l, has a word of adj
vice for those who wish to supple
ment their income from crops. Ii
is: Don't try to raise frogs for sale.'
MIR. Adcock told his tale of woe
to j. c. Keith, assistant Wake coun-
ty farm agent of the State College
Extension Service. He related how
he spent $165 to build and equip
frog hatchery and expected to sell
$4,000 worth of frog legs the third
year. The third year was 1888, and
then and now all Mr.. Adcock has to
show for his promising industry are
literally thousands of little frogs and
almost as many snakes.
Here is the way the Wake county
farmer told the story to assistant
agent Keith: "After reading adver-
Using literature about the great de-
mand for frog legs, and knowing the
rapidity width which frogs increase,
l decided to start business. built
a hatchery with high board fence
around it to keep snakes out. Then
1 ordered six pairs of frogs weigh
ing three pounds each for $3.50 per
pair, or SIS. My total investment was
$165.
"a little time was spent in keep
ing the bushes cut back and in trans
ferring the frog legs to the hatchery
and the large tadpoles back to the
main pond. Everything went well
and there seemed to be millions of
young frogs around. A passing train
could not be heard by person stand
ing near the pond. Little frogs make
about as much noise as big ones, and
little frogs are what have. Informa-
ton now available indicates that it
will take seven years instead of three
to reach a saleable size.
''In the meantime the frog pond
is a regular snakes paradise. And
the large tadpoles are eating the new
hatches Maybe I'll make that $4,000
yet, but four more years, added to
the past three, is long time to wait
and I'm afraid the snakes are going
to eat more frog legs than I'll ever
sell"
