IN RE: NOMINATORS

Greensboro Daily NeWS.)
Governor Hoey as head Of the
draft in North Carolina calls for the
nomination by county committees
composed of clerks of the Superior
Court. county superintendent OF
schools and chairmen of boards OF
election of a doctor, lawyer and
one other community leader to form
the county draft boards.
We can see the reason for a doctor
on the board, especially to conduct
or supervise the physical eXamina-
ton of draftees, and it might be
we'll enough to have lawyer, al
though we had hoped the conscrip-
ton act would be so simple that the
matter would not be brought into or
around the courts; but why should
the chairman of the county board of
elections be called in to aid the clerk
of court and the superintendent OF
schools pick the "other community
leader?
It has not been the experience OF
deponent or CT other neWspapermen
, with whom he has talked the matter
over that chairmen of county cleo
ton boards themselves are primarily
community leaders. There are excep-
tons, of course, but the average
chairman of a county board of cleo
tons in North Carolina is first OF all
Democrat, rather innocuous and
acceptable to those who run the
county's politics. Some of them would
recognize a community leader at
sight; others couldn't see him after
he had been pointed out.
1t is perhaps too much to ask oil
Governor Hoey; but we would much
prefer to see him sit down and off
hand designate the first three men in
each and every county who came tt
mind and ask them to serve as
draft board or, if they could not, to
make recommendations
We are confident that he Woulc
think of more Republicans thar
would the average chairman OF cleo
tons, and that his selections of doc
! tors and lawyers would be farthe'
removed from politics than those
nominated by clerks of court anc
cornty superintendent.
Indeed. we'd like it better if ne
man holding party office in Nortf
Carolina had anything to do witt
the draft.

HENDERSON, IN CO. DAILY THURSDAY SEPTEMBEk ~ l9o
OTHERS VIEWS
MIR. WRIGHT COMMENTS
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
In the Dispatch Of Sept. Ia read:
Senator Josiah w. Bailey told North
Cardinals Young Democrats today
that the President had acted wisely
in building up the nations defenses,
but that the threat of 4 federal debt
of seventy-five billions is second only
in gravity to the possibility OF an
invasion from abroad.
1t seems to me that, SO far as an
invasion of this country is concern
ed, the senator will soon find that
an explosion is far more probable,
because for the past seven years he
and others of his kind, whom the
people have trusted with high Of
lice, with poor vision or with eyes
blinded by selfish interest, have
fought every effort put forth by
good men and women to help the
farmers and workers break the
chains of slavery put on them by
organized wealth.
As to the Federal debt, l would
like for the learned senator to tell
us why he has, in his high Office
not made some effort to make 1t less.
He is a member of the Congress and
if can make the debt less in few
hours. The senator knows. the pre-
sent monetary policy Of this gov
eminent is not constitutional, but
is only a frame-up to benefit the
rich. He knows a government IS not
lust that puts tax on the poor mans
pig and COW, yet permits the flch
to hide their thousands and millions
in bonds that are tax free. The
learned senator also knows this gov
eminent has no right whatsoever
to create our money and turn 1t over
to the rich bankers for mere trl1le
and then borrow it back and pay an
interest that is costing the producing
class more than a billion dollars each
and every year.
The foregoing is just rough APP
proXimate statement OF few OF the
scandalouS ways this government IS
run for the sole benefit OF those
fortunate enough to have wealth.
Since that is a fact, is 1t any Wondcr,
I ask. that today eighty-five percent
of the people in this great and boun-
tiful country live below a decent
standard?
If Josiah w. Bailey cannot do
some hing to improve that condition,
which is caused mostly by our damn
able money policy, he should cease
to complain of the Federal debt be-
cause of the little increase in the
rich mans taxes.

Protection Deserved

be provided for men now oellis
called into military service against
financial obligations they leave be-
hind when they turn from CIVILIAN
life to make their contribution 10
the national defense. Since the gov
ernment is demanding their time and
energies. it should throw some sale
guards around their private interests
to the end that loss in that tlelo
NAV not be added to the SACRIFICES
they are being called upon to make
for the common welfare.
War Department authorities are
taking the lead, and properly so, to
see that consideration is given. No
direct moratorium is contemplated.
But, on the other hand, whatever
plan may be agreed upon should not
law the whole burden upon creditors
If these men. A hardship might re-
sult there the same as on the soldiers,
and might fall in some instances as
heavily and with equally as dlSaS-
trouS consequences.
The government cannot, OF course
assume in all cases every obligation
resting upon men who go into the
service. Just what sort of an ar
rangement will be necessary OF pos
Sible is more than we can say, Dut
some adjustment that would relieve
the problem ought and probably will
be worked out. It will have to OPP
crate in three directions in its pro-
lection: for the government. for the
soldier and for his creditors.
1t is just another of those civilian
relationships that will be thrown
into confusion or out of joint by the
emergency in which the country finds
itself. But it is by no means the
greatest of the many riddles that
confront the movement for preparing
the nation against the perilS Of the
hour.
One of the most urgent aspects OF
the present military program is sus-
tanning of the morale of men being
snatched from pursuits Of civil life
into the more serious business of as
surfing the country'S safety. Obvious
". that morale will be impaired if
men assuming the task are to be
weighted down with concerns and
worries about private affairs and re-
they have left behind.
The fact that the problem has been
promptly recognized in the beginning
justifies the hope that it will be met
in a manner reasonably satisfactory
to the triple interests concerned.

Cross-State Air Line

Citizens OF North Carolina who
have tor months worked for the
crosS-State mail and passenger
plane service have at long last won a
victory. 1t is not all they would
like. and two or three of the cities
that sought stops in the air schedule,
and which had on the committee
some OF its most enthusiastic work
erS. are omitted entirely in the
franchise granted by the Civil Aero
nautic> Authority.
Yet even at that a good start has
been made. The Federal commits
sion assumed an lntenable position
IN the spring when it rejected the pc
tition outright. and pressure since
has become as great and prospects for
success 50 promising that it has
been forced to accede to the demand.
The excuse given for reversing its
former stand is the growing import
ance OF Norfolk as an air and general
defense base. though that develop
nlent is no more manifest now than
when the initial arbitrary ruling was
handed down six months ago. Of
little significance, however, is the
reason for the about-face; the impor-
tant thing is that a franchise has
been granted the Pennsylvania Gen.
trail Air Lines to operate across
North Carolina from Norfolk to
Knoxville, Tenn.
Stops allowed will be made at
Rocky Mount. Raleigh, Greensboro
and ASheville. Three other cities,
Elizabeth City, Winston-Salem and
Hickory-which sought to be includ-
ed were ruled out. But their turn
will come. As the air line attracts
the support which is virtually certain
to come, both in passengers and in
mail. increasing demand will be
made for inclusion of these cities,
which fought just as hard for the
service as Gid those which are to be
favored Immediately. Eventually,
and it may not be long, Elizabeth
City, Winston-Salem and Hickory
will be given the accommodations
they deserve.
This is the first service of the kind
to be inaUgurated across the State,
Two or three lines are operating
north and south. The new addition
is milestone in progress of this
new science of transportation so far
as North Carolina is concerned. And
North Carolina will not let it down
the undertaking will be successful
almost from the beginning. Of thai
the CAA may be certain.
