The western states bloc move
ment is being carried on in con-
junction wittf-the work OF The
western and Pacific problems sub
committee OF the convention reso-
buttons committee.
The oStenSible endeavor of the
subcommittee is 10 write into the
Republican platform an assurance
of protection for the West against
the favoritism for the East that
has prevailed in the present ma
tional administration and under
eastern industrial dominance.
CALIFORNIA; warinesS in regard
TO the proposed bloc, il was said,

interior western states would like
the support of the dominating
population, economy and political
influence of California for move
ments favpring their own special

More About Food

Fruit and vegetable buyers in the New York
City area are threatening a new kind of blow
against the black market. They have notified
produce receivers that if illegal practices don't
stop by Jan. IS, they will apply what they call
a 'bltz boycott
This will be a concerted agreement to re-
frain from buying scarce or desirable item
il receivers are asking above-ceiling prices
o. forcing the tie-in purchase of unwanted pro-
duce with the sale. The buyers will select one
item at time that is too perishable to reship
elsewhere. The produce will rot, and the re-
ceiver will take dead loss. It's as simple as
that.
Overcharges and tie-in sales have been going
or for more than year. 1t has been spread
ing evil and the OPA hasn't had enough in
spectors to stop it. Buyers have chosen to put
up with it rather than jeopardize their sources
of scarce supply.
Protection for both retailers and consumers
from such gouging is long overdue And it
looks as if the 'blitz boycott might provide
it.
Perhaps if buyers in other big city markets
would take tip from their New York breth-
rem, the fruit -and-vegetable black market at
least might be considerably curtailed

The Missing Charter

There has been great TODD over Mr.. Roose,
velts admission that there never was an
original Atlantic Charter, and that conse-
quently nobody ever signed it. Most OF this
to-do however, can be traced to senators, re-
porters and colurnnists who never had much
sympathy with the sentiments OF the document
itself
Their concern developed only when it could
become vehicle for expressing their dislike
of the President or their dislike and suspi-
cion of Mr. Churchill and British policy And
they have a perfect right to speak out with
these opinions.
But their opinions do not alter the fact that
the triumph or defeat of the Atlantic Charter S
sentiments does not depend upon the existence
of document printed on parchment or vel
lum and duly signed and sealed.
Perhaps they have been misled by the title.
The dictionary defines a charter as ian inst-u-
nent in writing, from the sovereign power OF
state or country, executed in due form,
granting or guaranteeing rights, franchises or
privileges" So the so called Atlantic Charter
isn't a charter.
1t is not written or executed Sin due FORM"
nor does it guarantee anything. 1t is decla-a-
ton by Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.. Churchill (neith-
er a sovereign power who, the document
states. deem it right to make known certain
common principles in the national policies of
their respective countries which they base
their hopes for better future for the world"
Despite the reference to national policies"
which President of the United States proper
ly may declare the declaration is really an
expression of two individuals hopes and beliefs
even though the individuals happen to be ma
tional leaders. These hopes and beliefs are
invariably preceded in the document by such
phrases as they believe they desire"
they hope"
1t is not important who first miscalled this
declaration.
What is important is that Mr. Roosevelt's
and M. Churchills declaration struck the
right note. Even though there is no original
document, all 26 nations at war with the Axis
subsequently subscribed to 1.-The joint declara-
ton. known as the Atlantic Charter in the
signed and official Declaration OF the United
Nations.
So it is idle to assume that since no ''origi-
nar' Charter ever existed, its principles never
existed either. No one argues that the perfec-
ton Of Lncoln's Gettysburg Address is marred
because, as the story goes, it's final draft was
written in pencil on brown wrapping paper.
Preponderant American opinion hold t h e
aims Of the Atlantic Charter to be right and
just Whether all the other Is signatores still
hold the same view is another question: big
one, and a cause for real concern.

Tax Reform

One of the elementals in recommendations
for streamlined government, prepared for
submission to the South Carolina legislature
by the executive committee of the Prepared
ness for Peace commission of that state is
tax reform.
There cannot be any streamned improved
form of government without elimination of tax
abuses. AS rule taxation is hodgepodge
shoot-everything-in insight system; knockdown,
dragout method; never-ending search for
some new victim.
The commissions report on the tax structure
showed mo uniformity in the state and county
systems of taxation and that more than s45.-
oO0,0o0 of the $62 900 0G0 collected each wear in
taxes was used for the operation Of the state
government" It is obvious that people are get
ting the idea that government something they
originally set up for their benefits costing
too much, isn't worth what they pay fo- it,
An example is cited for overlapping in taxa
ton, with 1,763 separate tax districts for prop-
erty ievies, none Of them with the same aver
age in mills. The wonder is that taxpavers
change is recommended to make South Caro-.
lima competitive with other states"
Tax reform is something everybody talks
about but does little about. Now is an oppor.
tunity to do something about it. In addition
to being everybodys business, it is the indi.
viduaPs business-and that goes for North
Carolina well as for the state to the south

Agreed On One Thing

Tn a nation OF diverse people, con1Hcung
ideas and at times widely divergent aims one
good sign appears Labor, capital, manage
merit government, New Dealers, old dealers,
those who deal from the bottom OF the deck
and those who are merely kibitzers at the
game are agreed on one thing for the postwar
economy.
That's plenty of jobs, more jobs than ever;
permanent jobs with weekly payrolls. Without
that, the economists say and everybody else
eschoes, the national economy will break down,
bog up to it's chn roll over and die.
That is the only way the great burden OF
taxation resulting from the war will be met.
That is the only way agriculture can find
market the only means for distribution OF
products There could be no such things as
ma tional morale without 1t.
It's pleasant to see that all elements realize
this necessity That is the starting point. mat
is the preventive to the worst disease that
could strike nation-stagnation, depression,
misery. America is built on the family as
unit despite the presence OF few loose bache-
lors here and there, and there can be no such
thing as permanent family without ]oo'
Agreement on this point, without so far
dissenting word, is really the mudsin OF recov-
erv from the war. when it ends. And the rock
under that rnudsill must be private enterprise
which has always provided the only jobs with
reality and worth
