ly believe that labor will find the answer to It's problems in organiza- ton and collective bargaining rath. CT than by the edict of law.
 Improved labor conditions are not necessarily the product Of a government controlled Industry. The lessons of Italy and Germany arc too clear. In those lands, prices were fixed, competition eliminated and profits assured-but In the process labor organizations were completely and irrevocably destroy cd. Forced labor, pitiful wages and long hours, is the price labor pays in totalitarian state.
 Tt is unfair to discuss the rights of labor without giving equal cons sideration to the rights of capital. I believe uncompromislngly in the right of labor to organize and to bargain collectively through lead- CTS of It's own choosing. am con- vinced that this basic right is the concern Of all,
 "At the same time, capital can legltimately claim as its right those liberties of action which are equally if the public interest. Cap ital las q right to demand the op- portunity to do business competl- lively on basis of equality with all It's constituent parts, and to sell It's products at c price which reps resents the cost Of efficient produce ton plus 0 reasonable profit.
 "Neither capital nor labor can claim as q right, or demand as 6 privilege, any practice, proposed or actual, which has as It's effect the restriction of the purchasing power of the American people.
 HARMONY HELD
 VITAL TO DEMOCRACY
 Democracy is an enterprise In which governmental business, labor, agriculture, and the public are partners, all possessed Of q vital interest in making democracy work. No partnership can be successful, no such venture can long endure unless there is harmony and un- derstanding between the interested parties.
 "A selfish approach to the solu. ton of our problems by any one of the parties can endanger speedy recovery. Cooperation from all can ensure more revenue from taxes for government, more profits for busi- ness, more work and better wages for labor, more markets and better prices for the farmer, and more security for the public"

name specific measures. Here is the way he looks at the problem:
 "No individual or group" he said, "is at present in position to lay down a universally accepta- ble program of recovery. There is urgent need that such program should be evolved as the result of consultation between leaders of in- dustry, labor, consumers, and gov ernment.
 "It should take cognlzance of the fact that our underlying prob- lem is one of unemployment. In developing ways and means of meeting unemployment and driving toward recovery, attention might be given to the following considera- tions.
 "As business fears uncertainty, so does 1t fear taxes. do not be- lievc that business men wish to protest taxes necessary to produce revenue for the legitimate activ- ities of the government, or for the relief f human misery.
 But it is q well-recognized principle of economies that taxa ton can reach a point beyond which 1t produces less for govern mcnt and is destructive to indus try. We must determine that point ind so order future taxation that industry Is not hampered in It's legitimate objecCives while prop CT measure; are undertaken to al- levlate human suffering.
 PRICE FIXING
 UNDEMOCRATIC
 "So far as the budget is concern ed, periods of national emergency put the possibility Of 6 balanced budget beyond the power of either a liberal or conservative adminiS- tration. However, every thinking person realizes that steps should be taken to hasten the day when gov ernment expenditures shall again keep pace with government income,
 ITO the largest extent consistent with the public good, business should be free from governmental control. Instead of such control, government should protect the

rights of all against possible in- fringements by the few.
 Free competition, for instance, has been the established policy of the nation, and the foundation of our industrial progress But the greatest enemy of competition in the United States has not been governmcnt-it has been the trend toward monopoly, the concentration of econ )mic powers in the hands of a few. Government can perform q useful function by helping to re- verse this trend.
 Again, price fixing by either industrial combines or government is undemocratic It is oconomical- ly lnasound. If industry fixes prices then the public will demand the regulation of prices.
 Regulation of prices means reg ulation of profits, wages and every other vital phase of industry, It will ultimately lead to government control of business.
 CAPITAL AND LABOR
 BOTH HAVE RIGHTS
 "Basic standards for labor prop CT hours and minimum wages, might be set by the government. If all industry must pay decent wages and observe certain standards, then oil are competing on an equal baS- Is. I have always urged the creation of such basi, standards but l firm-

 Mrs. Whitney now resides at a ranch south of Reno, where she Is free to indulge her fancy for ani- m9js--she Is an expert on horses. She moved from the hotel, where she first registered on her arrival, and after very few days sent to southern California for three of her horses and took them with four of her dogs to the Lichten- stein ranch south of Reno.

 While at the Lichtenstein ranch, she became acquainted with q COW named Dotty, which she Saddled, decorated with the Whitney rac- ing colors, and took on 0 tour of Reno night clubs.

MRS. E. N. HOWELL
SELECTED TO WORK
WITH STATE PIT, A.

For the first time in its history
the North Carolina Congress OF
Parents and Teachers is to have
full time field representative.
Mrs. E. N. Howell Of Swannanoa,
who was elected at the summer
meeting of the board of managers
in Chapel Hill early this month to
inaugurate the work, will assume
active duty between September
and Is.
During PTA's twenty-one years
of existence in North Carolina
fourty-four in the nation-its work
ers have been largely enthusiastic
volunteers, who, believing in PTA
objectives, have fought a never.
ending fight for the welfare of
their own n d their neighbor' S
children.
A number of other states already
have paid field service. At one
time instructors were paid by the
extension department of North
Carolina college for Women-that
was before it's affiliation with the
university-to do field work for
the Parent-Teacher Congress. In
recent years the Congress itself
has financed the service of two
part-time workers on. a per day
basis, the group to whom they
were sent paying expenses.
But PTA has grown up" says
Mrs. Doyle D. Alley, state presi-
dent. "At present, there are close
to $4,000 memberships in North
Carolina, and this new full time
field work is a dream come true
Just a beginning, it's true, but
certainly beginning in the right
direction"
Working on a straight salary and
expense allowance, Mrs. Howell
will attend all district meetings
and, through a schedule arranged
at the office of the executive sec.
retary in Gibsonville, will be avail
able for schools of instruction, or.
ganization purposes, etc. She will
also be present at district and
state meetings of other educational
groups whenever possible, inter-
preting PTA to them. This field
service has been mapped out by
a special committee from h e
state board of managers on five
year basis. Mrs. Howell's appoint.
ment is for one year.
Mrs. Howell, the wife of Swan
nanoa's school principal and the
mother of one son, a graduate OF
1905 high school class, has been
voluntarily engaged in Parent
Teacher work for over 20 years.
first as teacher, then as a par
ent. For the past three years she
has served as director of PTA dis
trict number one, the states
mountainous region including
Asheville and all territory west to
the Tennessee line. Her first ma
jor assignment as field represen.
tative for the North Carolina Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers will
