Roosevelt Urges
Clio to Make Peace
With AFL Quickly

San Francisco Oct. 1l.-(AP)-A
message from President Roosevelt
pleading for peace in the labor move
ment was read at the ClO convention
today.
eff we desire peace and good will
in the world, we must learn to prac-
tice these in the small and large
things of our own lives" the mes
sage said.
"The continued conflict and sep
aration in the labor movement can
hardly be overlooked in these days
when dscord in any group is so
harmful to world peace.
"The joint committee which was
appointed by your body and by the
American Federation of Labor has,
I know, done faithful and effective
service to promote reunion and
negotiate sound peace in the labor
movement.
81 have already asked the Amer
lean Federation of Labor at its con-
Vention to continue Fundamentally
the search for an accord. | now ask
your body to do the same. The men
and women working daily in the
mills, mines, factories and stores, and
in the transports want this accord -
"The American people want it and
will hold in honor those whose in
sight, courage and unselfishness can

with their longtime friend, Turkey.
But What'll they care for Turkey by
that time!
At the other end of the Mediter-
ranean, past Gibraltar, they'll have to
get out again, to raise heck on the
South Atlantic.
Nevertheless, who can tell? = if
they get away with it as seemingly
planned?
And finally, if they succeed in
creating first-class hades to the west
ward, they're liable to develop into
terrible pest in the Orient. Their
truce with Japan is only at their own
conVenience-While they're dealing
with France, England and Ger
many.

well from Russia's standpoint.

variance with the existence Of a true
statewide highway system.
Specifically, he condemned inertia
of the present commission in the mat
ter of a toll-free road to Mount Nit
chell; but in sweeping general in
dictment he charged that the present
system is hOneycOmbed with politics
which permits individual members
of the commission to feather their
own political nests by faVoring local
interests in their districts at the eX-
pense of a Well-balanced, coordinate
ed highway system with roads locat-
ed only on the basis of well-defined
needs and the greatest benefit to the
greatest number of citizens.
This opposition, he told his friends,
he intends to carry into the cam
paign, if he decided to run-as he
has now formally announced.
There have been indications that
the Neal views are rather generally
held, especially in certain sectors in
the West, and there is general agree
ment that they will win him votes IN
certain circles; though, of course, the
thing will cut both ways, - there
isn't the slightest doubt that The
highway commissioners will fight
back and the very fact that they are
commissioners proves them TO be
potent political persOnages.
For the last five years MIR. Neal
has not been cOnspicuouSly in the eye
of the voters of the State as whole,
but he is a six-times member Of the
House from Mcdowell county, hav-
inc served in 1919-21-2325- 31-33. In
these legislatures he learned his way
about and made contacts all over the
State which he no doubt will rely
upon to assist him in his race for the
Number 2 Tar Heel political post.
Throughout the west he is looked
upon as a potentially strong conten-
der who cannot be counted out IN
advance of the appearance OF an I'M
usually strong opponent or OF now
unexpected developments on the po-
litical front.
He is chairman of the State Park
Commission, which explains IN part
his great interest in the roads OF the
west; president of the Marion
Hosiery Mills and the Marion Knit
ting Mills, Inc; vice president Of the
Carolina Motor Club, trustee OF the
Marion General Hospital; and chair
man of the board of directors of the
North Carolina School for the Deaf

RUSSIA PLACES FINLAND - -
ON THE MAT AT KREMLIN

Moscow, Oct. ll.-(AP)-Russia
turned today to ''politicaI and eco
nomic" talks with Finland in the
drive to regain the Baltic domi-
nance enjoyed in the heyday of the
cars.
Against a background of troops
massed on Finland's border, and
concentrations of men, war planes
and Warships elsewhere in the Bal
tic region, the Kremlin stage was
set for reception Of the Finnish dele
cation, which arrived today by
train.
The Soviet Union has just con-
Guided a series Of military ALI
ances with Estonia, Latvia and
Lithuana, three former segments
of the Russian empire, which broke
away following the World War.
They became, in effect, Soviet pro-
iectOrates.
Finland, also once a part of the
czarist empire, appears next in line
for this "protection".
Russia gained points for the gar
risoning of thousands Of troops and
bases for Warships and war planes,
as we'll as trade and transport con-
cession through her bargains with
the three little states to the south
of Finland.
The third of the Baltic pacts, that
with Lithuania, was concluded last

lures, it provided for return to

Dropping metaphor, Russia tech
nlcally IS described as having con-
GUIDED nothing more formidable than

countries, but everybody knows that,
IN effect, the Soviets have grabbed
them, and it isn't questioned that
they'll be completely digested Short

All right. That gives Stain two

That isn't all, though.
Every time Joe Stain decides to
scoop IN an adjoining people he
sends a so-called invitation to that
aggregatiOn's foreign minister to visit
Moscow and cook up a treaty. viz

Now, early in the last war, Russia

Sometimes impudence is only nat
ural expression of a child's real super
iority of thinking Perhaps he has be-
come SO familiar with the word dumb
bell" through hearing his playmates
use it that he has no idea of our out
ragged feelings when he uses it to point
out really stupid move we have made
in game we're playing with him. In
such a case, gently pointing out how
rude such word sounds will probably
be enough to make him use some milder
way of showing us our error next time.
There are times, however, when i'm
pudence shows up an underlying lack
of respect for his parents that doesn't
speak well for their handling Of him
in the past. A child who is deliberately
rude and offensive is often one who
has learned that if he is tough" enough
with his parents, they will wilt before
his demands. Another explanation of
effrontery may be found in some under
lying emotional conflict of the child,
that makes him feel hopeleSsly out of
tune with his parents, and leads him
finally to explode. Ask for your child's
opinions, treat him with respect, and
the chances are good that he'll respect

IMPUDENCE, REAL AND PSEUDO.

Sooner or later every parent is
brought up short by what he considers
very disrespectful back talk" from his
child. 1t may begin at six, or we may
see little evidence of such a tendency
until early adolescence, but rare indeed
is the child who never ventures to
sauce" his parents. Perhaps if we
look at such behavior carefully we shall
be able to analyze it and find out what
it means, and why we have such I'M
favorable reactions to it. Maybe We'll
even find that it has some good
features.
While they're babies, we have such
complete control over our children that
we fall into the habit of expecting them
to be subservant to us. Because it is
easier to handle a child who is docile,
who never shows that he has a mind
of his own, we tend to resent the fact
that as he grows, his individuality
sticks out more and more prominently
OF course we do not really want our
children to be wishy-Washy, spineless
creatures, but unless we are careful
We'll unconsciously encourage this.
If we look at the meaning of the
word "impudence," which comes from
the Latin root pudeo, meaning to be
bashful or ashamed, we will see that
as our children develop they should
really lay aside their feelings of being
inadequate, and acquire self-confidence
Isn't this really what their thoughtless
'impudence" often amounts to? They
are beginning to have minds of their
own, and so they say what they think,
right out. When it agrees with what
we want them to think, it's all right,
but when they disagree with us, or try
to put us in the wrong, we begin to
chide and correct them. A certain
amount of "impudence," then, when it
doesn't amount to arrogance, effontery
and over-boldness, may be necessary to
a child, if he is to make himself felt
as person worthy of respect.
How are we to distinguish between
good" and bad" impudence? One
way is to ask ourselves if the child
is merely copying our tones, rejecting
in his way of speech that it is common
place with us. To be called a dumb
bell" by ones offspring is a startling
eXperience-but if we have ever made
the mistake of using the expression in
speaking to him, it's not surprising for
him to hurl it back at us. If we speak
rudely and impatiently, we set an ex-
ample that we can't blame him much
| for following
