On False Pretense

Construction Of the High Point

Cedure on a basis that Is wholly
false, set up and paid for by gov
eminent funds. under government
approval, and government contcn-
ton that there is need for it to for
ward the war effort and to relieve
a "critlcal power shortage.'
Henry AVerill, Raleigh cores
pendent, says that while the pro-
cedure may be both desirable and
legal, to base its approval on the
two reasons assigned is to make a
travesty of the truth" But, since the
correspondent puts the argument so
clearly, let's listen to him further:
In the first instance, to authorize
construction in the interests of the
war effort" is to fly directly in the
face Of the just-annOunced policy of
the government not to continue with
projects which cannot be completed
by the middle of l943. Also it is no.

Readers will remember that in

tires to apply some asphalt gum or
other mixture which requires no
rubber. (This is entirely different
from retreading by cementing camel

complishes exactly what | have in
mind. The cost should be Sc to SO per
tire with a mileage Of from $500 to
5000 miles at a speed Of 40 miles
per hour. The material is made from
caustic soda, chlorine, ethylene, and
sulphur. Caustic soda comes from
salt; ethylene from corn, wheat, or
any agricultural waste; while Texas
has a surplus of sulphur. Chlorine
is now being allocated, but the pro-
duction can readily be increased. No
adhesive material is needed and no
natural or reclaimed rubber will be
required. The plan is identical with
my original forecast and should per-

Doing Their Bit

Over and against allegations OF
certain thin-Skinned politicians that
the press is Sniping at the legislative
or other branches and activities OF
the government with a view to UNI
dermining them is the tribute OF
praise to the newspapers and the
radio by Byron Price, director OF
censorship. for their cooperation IN
keeping a secret until the proper
time to announce it news of the re-
cent visit to this country of Premier
MolotoN of Russia.
This is not an abridgement OF free
speech or press. 1t is simply and
solely an act of patriotism in the in
tereSt of the W~ellbeing of the nation
in time of great emergency and
crisis.
We have thought and believed,
and think we have so said on more
than one occasion, that the press OF
the country could be relied on to go
the whole distance in utmost CO.
operation toward ultimate and COM
plete victory. Its record thus far has
abundantlv substantiated that faith.
and our idea is that ii Will continue
to do so.
NEolotov was in Washington for
days. His presence was known TO
neWsmen. But they had been asked
to keep his visit secret until proper
time for announcement. Mi. prlc"
said that was done universally
throughout the country save in q
single instance, which he did not
specify. Hi, statement OF comment
dation follows:
The facts about this visit were

men and b~roadCastcrs. 1t Was never

voluntary wartime codes issued 10y
the office of censorship had request

withheld from publication or broad
asst for reasons of safety until Of
