By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TORONTO, May 23.-Daniel c.
Roper, former United States Secre-
tary of Commerce and former Min
lister to Canada, voiced dissatisfac-
ton today with our American
situation in respect to credits for
the allies"
Supplies Of all kinds, he said,
should be conveyed to the allies
by the United States in every pos
sible way, by barter or otherwise.
Addressing the First international
Credit Mems Congress-, Mr.. Roper
declared:
"Our neutrality law uninten-
tionally misrepresents our national
purposes and embarrasses the op-
Grafton Of our domestic ideals.
Both the neutrality law and the
Johnson Act (Which prohibits the
extension of United States credits te
debtor nations) should be amended
to meet our responsibilities in the
preSent-day crisis.
"All essential supplies should be
exempted from the 'cash-and-carry
restrictions.
Mr.. Roper declared that the idea
OF a League of Nations again woulc
be in the minds of peacemakers
when the war ends and said the
United States must assume proper
responsibilities in this connection.
II believe that had the terms Of
the Versailles peace treaty been les
drastic and had the United State,
Joined the League Of Nation.
promptly, We would never have
heard of Hitler and the present wal
would have been avoided" he said
For postwar relations between
the United States and Canada he
proposed a principle of economic
union with political federalism anc
cooperation"

|. A Federal Warship captured the
blockade runner on which McDOugal
was a crew member and carried this
crew along with crews from other
captured ships to New York. After
being held in Jail awaiting investiga-
ton they were lined up for inspec-
ton. Those who were found to be
members of crews of blockade rum
nerS were to be sent to prison as pri-
soners of war, the others to be re-
leased. When lined up McDougal
asked the officer ill charge who was
to be released. He was told to look
in book, open on the desk. that the
names listed were those to be re-
leased. McDougal did not find his
name among the list, but added it
when no one was looking. Shortly
afterwards the names were read out,
The officers did not detect the fraud,

In Their Steps

In contemplation OF the spirit Of
sacrifice that permeated the lead
ers and the men of Revolutionary
War days, one wonders if this coun-
try could have come through as it has
if those patriots back there in colon
ial times had been made of the same
stuff as we in modern America. 1t
is said that human nature is the
same the world over, but, granting
that to be true, there is, after all,
something in our animal makeup
that is not alike in different peoples
in different times.
We in this mid-tWentieth century
era live lives of greater ease and
with greater plenty more readily
obtainable than the founding faith
ers had or dreamed of. They set out
as individuals to acquire what they
had to have. Today we run to
Washington for nearly everything
we want that we do not possess, and
vote-hungry office-holders raid the
public tillS to provide it, lest they
lose votes at the next election.
Some of them vote to extend these
luXuries and lose votes, too. The rest
of us demand more and more from
the national government and froth
at the mouth and essay role of in
timidation against those VINO hesitate
to follow the line of least resistance.
The result is we are long, long way
from the spirit of '76"-the spirit
that conceived and brought into be-
ing this greatest of all nations. Today
this remarkable country is menaced
from within and from without, and
oftentime it is not hard to accept
the preachment that our gravest
threat is from within. We need to be
saved from ourselves, to learn the
lesson of self-reliance, to look back
once in a while to the days when
George Washington went aside in the
snow alone and prayed for the sue
cess of his cause, and when the men
under him so believed in that cause
that they carried on in the face of
privations which but few today know
anything about. We are their debt
ors in that our obligation is to those
who sacrificed in a manner that is
foreign to us of modern times. 1t
would be safer for the land we love
if we could be content, even for a
time, to walk in their steps.

HENDERSON, M CJ DAILY SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER a. 94o
More Patrolmen

The movement to increase the
State Highway Patrol from its pres
ent ITS to Il figure some have men,
toned rs high as 400, others the more
modest total Of $50, is in keeping with
an established custom. Rarely has
there been 4 legislature since the
patrol was originally formed that its
personnel has failed to be enlarged.
Addition of some rs more now prob
ably wouldn't cost the State more
than an another 100000 annually,
and that would be nice place to put
some of the surplus.
This. too, is another way OF eX-
banding the good old machine" and
adding to that ever growing army of
State employees, of which there are
already far too few to handle so
large job as operating the affairs
of North Carolina.
Or have the funerals, the we'd
dings, football games and public
gatherings increased to such proper
tons that there are not enough pa
trolmen to go around?
The excuse hit upon for expansion
this time is the emergency that is
taking National Guardsmen out OF
the State. and the necessity for great
er numbers of peace officers. That
may be really valid reason for &C
ton this time, if only the condition
would be remedied by reducing the
strength of the patrol when the sold
iers come back home year hence,
or whenever they do come. But
whether this situation or pure polltl-
cal claims are offered in justification
for stepping up personnel, it is about
a million-to-one bet that if an in
crease is authorized there will never
be any cut. Things just aren't done
that way in politics.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1940-09-14
Calling for Economy

A little handful of citizens IN the
State comprising the North Carolina
Fair Tax Association, and sparkeo
by J. Paul Leonard, of Statesvllle, is
again raising its voice in the inter-
est of governmental economy. 1t is
we'll known that little drops OF water
over 4 period OF thousands of years
will wear away the rock, and this
little economy group may one day
make its influence felt.
But they are facing the prospect
of a populace that is less interested
in economy and more interested in
what it can extract free from public
funds. Legislatures are responsive
to public opinion when that opinion
is sufficiently aroused, and the fight
of Mr.. Leonard'S group lies in the ne
cesSity of arousing the masses who
vote, for only votes speak the Ian
suase that politicians understand.
Unfortunately the prospects Tor
achieving that objective are none too
bright. Indeed the element 10 whom
Lawmakers listen most are those
who make the loudeSt demands for
paternaliStic government activities.
Mir. Leonard'S contention that sui
ficient economies could be effected IL
State finances 10 permit elimination
of the sales tax takes in 4 lot Of terri
tory. Moreover, and again unfortu-
nately, the clamor is not to spend
less. but to use current SURPRISES as
the means to further spending. Ad-
vocates of this cause or that are smart
enough to concoct arguments to show
that their every claim is important
and essential, and that services they
demand are indispensable. A re-
mark by one candidate was quoted
as being d policy to get all the tax
money you can and then spend 1t all
as fast as you can. That is the pal
tern OF the average politician. And
the people stand for it. Yet they cry
aloud for relief from taxes.
Voters generally know where the
relief lies that they seek and de-
serve. They know what the remedy
is but they lack the courage to apply
It. They know that il they put sui
Yicient force into their demands they
will realize on them. But we are d
stupid bunch. in that we stand silent
and motionleSs on the side lines and
allow public officials to get away
with murder in the spending Of tax
Economy can be had when the peo-
pie really make up their minds they
want it, just as they get other things
they earnestly seek for.
