Aid To Scandinavia

1t is easier for Britain and France
to send aid to Norway and Denmark
than it would have been to help
CzeChOSlovakia. Austria, Poland or

Uses that are limited to expressions

One of the troubles about British

1t is too late to help after Reich

nearly every harbor is in control Of

the Germans get things done AND

Destructive Meddling

Speaking before the Rocky
Mount Merchants Association the
other night. Frof. Malcolm McDer-
mott, Duke University law profess
sor, denounced governments that
tap the golden stream of commerce"
Tor distributions to the less wealthy.
There is d tallacy." he said, 'tc the
idea that you can create wealth by
taking It iron. those who make il
and distributing il to those who do
not; that IS not making wealth; that
is destroying wealth
He declared the government can
not produce wealth; only human in
genuity and commerce can do that.
Whenever government has attempt
ed to go into business. the flow OF
commerce has become ''polIuted". he
added.
The government must occupy its
proper sphere, and leave to Ameri-
can manhood and American woman
hood the function that properly be-
longs to them" he said adding that
the function was to be left alone so
that the flow OF the stream can
overflow its banks. and bring hap
pinesS to all people" The govern
ment today. he observed. is tapping
that stream 10 the point OF eXhauS-
ton" citing the fact that in 1890
five cents OF each dollar went for
taxes while today SO cents OF each
dollar is taken by the government.
Oh, yes. every one knows the
common gossip about the amount of
money the professors university has
available to pay and to sustain men
who will stand up and defend prin-
CipleS of SO-called economic royal
lists, princes Of privilege, tories, and
the like. Such gossip is just that. SO
far as wealth is concerned and as
it relates to Prof. McDermott's school.
Institutions with big endoWments do
not bride men to do this sort Of talk
ing. They do it because Of their
convictions. Were such true, Har-
ward made mess Of converting AS
sociate Justice Frankfurter before he

Loans TO The Allies

As was predicted years ago when
the law was enacted. efforts are be-
me made now. since new emer-
oency has arisen. to beat down the
.,n.erican determination 10 lend no
money to foreign countries that are
IN default on their obligations 10 the
United States 1t was easy sailing
so long as wars were kept in the
background and needs were not
urgent. but nov that western Europe
may be near the point Of fighting
with its back to the wall, agitation
to overcome this Federal law IS
growing louder and louder.
The Anglo-French method Of APP
proach is ShreWd one. Knowing
something. as they do. OF the dol
drums in which American agricul-
ture is lan2uiShing, they are COM
ing with the proposal! to take farm
crop SURPRISES if credits are en-
tended. That will appeal to the
farmer thuy figure. And it does,
as, for instance, suppose normal
British imports Of tobacco were as
Sured next fall with 4 consequent
2Q-2l-ccnt average for the season,
this EcWildCrcd section Of our own
might think a second time before
being too emphatic about loans to
dcGaulting foreign governments.
Again the hard-prcSScd Allies
come with the question as to why
their credit is not as good as Fin
lands or China's. OF course, to ask
it is to answer, namely, that these
small countries met their cid obliga-
tons promptly, whereas England and
France have made no effort Tor
around whole decade to pay even
the interest. They pleaded poverty,
but their poverty did not pinch so
hard but that they have found in
less than Il year as much money Tor
Il new war as they have owed here
for % years.
Another scheme that has been
hatchcd up 10 get around the
Johnson act is that private"
Iinancicrs be allowed to extend
credits To private concerns in the bel
ligCrcnt nations. From Il legal stand
point. there would seem 20 be little
difference in this and governmental
