WHAT WE'RE FIGHTING FOR
Most historians agree that what
the governor OF North Carolina
said TO the governor OF South
Carolina was. IT'S n long time
between drinks" However, the eX-
governor of North Carolina, Max
Gardner, had something different
to say to the present governor OF
South Carolina, DIN ID, Johnson,
when they met the other day.
The occasion was meeting OF
big cotton manufacturers IN
Greenyille, S. c., men who for the
most part are anti-labor and very
much opposed to pro-labor Gov.
Johnston Of South Carolina.
Called upon to speak, eX-Gov,
Gardner Of North Carolina said;
"Thcrc has been lots Of talk
about what We are fighting for
this war. But I say to you that
here IL one Of the greatest things
we are fighting for - the right
Of Olin Johnston, born In q
cotton mill shack, TO become
governor of South Carolina.
"You may not agree with DIN
Johnston. You may not think
much Of him as governor. But
you and I would fight and die
for the principle under our
democratic system which permits
him to rise from the ranks Of
a mill worker TO become COVER
nor Of this state"
The big cotton manufacturers,
who had opposed Johnston poll
tically, rose and cheered TO the
last man.
THROW FEWER BRICKS
Lord Halifax, the British en-
bassy says, never made this state
ment. And being a gentleman
and good diplomat, undoubted-
ly he didn't. However, the re-
mark, now going the rounds Of
Washington, Is repeated here only
for one purpose; for the effect IT
may have on officials, who fight
themselves more than they fight
Hitler.
Lord Halifax was mistakenly
quoted as saying: II used to
worry over our future trade In
Latin America. But when ] see
the jealous" between American
agencies and how various Amer
lean government representatives
in Brazil are continually fight
ing against each other, l am no
longer worried"
II the British ambassador had
really made this statement 1t
would have been absolutely true.

there was one for a short time. Yesterday

had ended with the arrival of AZ car

TO insure a-seoreoy, some
meetings Of the Senate Foreign
fairs committee, considering
the Ball Resolution, have been
held away from Capitol Hill, far
from the pryiag eyes OF newsmen,
Some of them have even been held
behind locked doors IN the State
Department,
At one meeting on Capitol Hill,
all Senators present virtually had
TO swear they would not diVulge
any Of the discussions which took
place,
This secrecy, In view Of Scna-
torial criticism OF RooSeyclts Free

the Hot Springs food conference,
has caused some eyebrow raising.
Furthermore, the peace after the
war Is supposed to be something
of vital interest 10 every war
mother. every family, in fact every
citizen of the u, S, A., and not
the particular monopoly Of young
Senator Ball,
One thing which seems to be
worrying the Senator Is the debate
over his prmoposal for a military
police force TO be maintained by
the United Nations to suppress
future aggression. This Is report

Views from Senatorial colleagues

that Paul certainly had outdone
