This advice has several outstanding

continuing domestic crisis is Of New Deal
origin.
II any administration has evidenced q

Deal. This fact is so obvious from acts
and events that evasion by the vocifer-
Gus inner circle has the look Of open
hypocrisy.
The New Deal has been in office seven
years with no visible surrender Of It's
amateur status-which makes the anna

1t seems that the plain people will
never learn that the best brains at
their command are those within their
own skulls and because they do not use
them their economic thought is con-
fused and misdirected. While our ma
terial progress is marvel Of achieve
ment we have backslid in our social
adjustment. When Charles Dickens was
asked what impressed him most of any
thing he saw in America, he said: THAT
didn't see beSgar in Boston,"
Today, In America, with natural re-
sources that could comfortably support
the population Of the world, we have
millions Of unemployed, homeless, hum
gry, wretched people. reduced to begsary.

a problem that we all look ahead for
solution Of problem when we should
look back for the cause of a fact.
We have become so deranged by
ceaseless propaganda that it seems dis
reputable to be radical. No group as
sails the radicals with more vehemence
than the D. A. r. although the Dec.
laration of independence, Endorsed by
their ancestry, was the most radical
political document ever presented and
the Revolution was a rebellious, radical
undertaking to abolish taxation without
representation" and to insure religious
freedom"
Macaulay once said: IF any large
pecuniary interests were concerned in
disputing the attraction of gravitation,
that most obvious Of all facts would not
yet be accepted" Nothing is more OBJ
vious than the iniquity of existing con-
ditions, with a few controlling wealth
and economic influence beyond the COM
prehension of ordinary people, while
millions are submerged in the poverty.

ing more police protection. more and
larger prisons, more rigid laws and Sc

for cause and is soon convinced that
increasing lawlessness is the yesult of
the increasing millions of the poverty
stricken who are so hopelessly reduced
by the strangle- hold monopoly has upon
the opportunity for employment to
which every man is entitled.
Quoting Thomas Jefferson: Whenever
there is In any country uncultiyated

that the laws of property have been so
far extended as to violate natural rights.

Appeasement Termed
Treason By White

NEW YORK, Nov. Is. -lR-
William Allen White, chairman of
the committee to defend America
by aiding the Allies, said today
that "appeasement today is treason
to democracy" and "our greatest
danger"
"a stalemate peace would leave
Hitler in charge of Europe and
would give him an opportunity to
build a great navy" said the vet
eran Kansas editor and writer at
a press conference.
He will not bomb New York"
White continued. 'but if his ideas
should take hold in South America,
you al see what would happen
then. We could not cross the Equa-
tor with III ships to uphold the
Monroe Doctrine"
White said the job of his commit
tee for the next few months would
be to oppose appeasement and con-
tinue aid to the Allies. 5

BY GLADYS BEST TRIP

The New Hanover board Of edu-
cations program for vocational
education has so far provided
night classes in necessary trades
for 1879 men and a woman.
Only five high schools in the
state are cooperating in this m
portant aspect of national defense
because only five have the nee
essary equipment. The National
Defense program furnishes the in
structors and the materials, but
the school receiving them must
have the equipment.
The New Hanover schools are
well equipped because for four
years George West has been con-
Quoting trade classes here. This
year the students learning trades
have increased about 400 per cent.
They meet in Isaac Bears ground
floor rooms to study carpentry,
form building, welding, sheet met
al work, brick laying, concrete
work, drafting and blue print read

spend several hours nightly study
ing drafting.
Thirty-five colored students
study trades at night at Williston
school, and others gather in a
Chestnut street garage to learn
auto mechanics.
That is how eager the citizens
of Wilmington are to learn these
trades. Not only beginners but
persons who want to get a better
job or advance in their present one

these night classes. The unem-
ployed work beside boys who got

classes two nights a week, and
others take 30-hours of classroom
work. The length of each course
is IL weeks.
In this short length of time. the
students can concentrate only on
the practical size OF their SUBJ
jects. No class room time is
wasted in aimless theory. The al
zebra, trigonome1ry and similar
subjects they learn are really
tricks of the trade. They do not
recite rules, but put them into
practice. In the words of George
West, they are taught the how
without the why"
The expense of hiring instructors
is paid by the National Defense
setup. Four regular school teach
ers and five tradesmen work at
the night schools. The North Caro-
lima vocational department organ
lied the school. The materials are
free from the National Defense
program. The young men contrib
ute their time and their life's
work.
The demand for this type of
skilled machinists is beyond inn
mediate reach. Only seven per
cent of the high schools in the
United States offer any kind of vo-
cational experience, and in North
Carolina IS schools out of 700 offer
vocational training.
The field is open for the skilled.
H~alf-taught carpenters and sheet
metal workers are not needed. The
importance of the Wilmington
night trade classes is shown by
the fact, at the last graduation IL
carpenters from the school were
offered immediate employment
through Maurice Moore, manager
OF the local employment bureau. l
