Lynch Law
Washington Post)

Washington Post
 Some ugly pictures-literally-ha been coming out of France They show men who have been mauled by mobs and women whose heads have been shorn because they believed to have been too friendly with the Nazis It is hard to undrstand and sym pathze with the hatred for collaborationists felt by all loyal Frenchmen Everyone must hope that these traitors will be brought to stern justice But justice can never effectively administered through lynch law.
 There grave dangers when an nfuriated populace attempts to take justice into its own hands, Innocent persons are all too likely to suffer along with the guilty and innocent persons include pro forma collaborationsts, who kept things going in silenced France Personal vengeance may be inflicted in the name of popular retributon. To be sure the maintenance of order and the establishment of judicial processes is not easy in such turbulent times as France is now experiencing Nevertheless, these essential if the real culprts are to brought book Each person accused of having betrayed his country men should be brought to trial confronted with the witnesses against him. given opportunity to testify in his own behalf and then in accordance with the law receive his deserts
 The sooner General de Gaulle's provisional gov ernmen can establish this sort of law and order the sooner will it's authority to be respected and regarded of the dread consequences of lynch law is total breakdown of authority destruction of the very system of sef-goveInment which men have de- vised for their own protection And more fearful effect is debasement into savagery of those who participate in the mob spirit and its bloody activities. Any protracted period of mob rule in France would be tragic for it's survivors well as for it's victims It is greatly to be hoped that every effort will be made by the French themselves to bring their country swiftly under rule of law. General Eisenhower's Allied forces should lend all possible assistance toward this end,

Inevitably the United States, when the ends, will begin to count the cost of converting surplus materials into ordinary commercial channels. One Congressman, note. that losses will be great; that while a B-24 bomber costs millions its peacetime worth is almost nothing since it cannot be converted to peacetime work The rule applies to thousands of items which have been manufactured for military purposes.
 Monetary losses which will come with peace must, of course, be considered But they can be measured by other yardscks than dollars and Let's turn for moment to this cheerful aspect of the situation.
 B-24 and unused, represents far greater loss to the people Of the United States than the machine which has some months of service Every day of flight requires thousands of dollars; might cost precious and irreplacable American lives Thus, with the coming of peace, while our losses will be great, they will not be nearly so great as they would have been had the fighting continued,

MERRY-GO-ROUND

Several Congressmen peeking in the House restaurant last week thought they saw Governor Dewey lunching with Representative Har- old Knutson of Minnesota. It wasn't Dewey, however, but Dana Bennett of Agriculture Service As sociates. A descendent of James Gordon Bennett, he is a maga- zine writer, was nearly mobbed when he entered the Stevens Hotel during the Chicago Republican Convention last June. His resem- blance to Dewey is remarkable ,. :. When the TransluX newsreel thea tres decided on their lobby poli- tical poll, they ordered twice as many Roosevelt pins as Dewey pins <. Before he came to Con- greSs, Senator Wallace White Maine Republican, three times ran for Mayor of Lewiston, each time being soundly trounced by Demo- crats. In the last election, he re- mained in Washington-an Lewis ton went Republican. T guess it is good thing for my party when I stay out of Maine laughed Sen ator White.

STETTINIUS MUZZLED

One of the saddest sights in the nations capital is amiable we'll meaning Undersecretary of State Edward R. Stettinius plodding along the rough roads of diplomacy wearing his daddys size-12 boots
 Real fact is that, though Stet- tinius has now been Undersecre- tary for year, he is still being led around by the hand, is looked upon with disdain by many of his underlings in the Department He is. rarely if ever permitted to meet with any one unless several State Department officials are seated by his side to give him the right answers.
 In addition, Stettinius press con- ferences are a travesty, due to the worried presence of presentations chief Mike McDermott. Actually Stettinius is ready and willing to trust the press and public, but Hull and McDermott won't let him.
 Best example came the other day when Stettinius met with reporters to tell the results of the Dunbar ton Oaks conference As the meet ing started in the State Depart ments plush, pompous conference room, McDermott jumped up, said the meeting would be off the rec ord" Whenever Stettinius started to answer questions, McDermott stopped him. The only frank ans wers came out when McDermott left the room to answer a phone call
 Later, Stettinius pointed out that if Dumbarton Oaks were com pletely American show, the public might be better informed. McDer- mott blew up at this, said, The State Department isn't trying to pass the buck to the British or the Russians" Weekly echoed Stet- tinius: Of course we are not try ing to pass the buck. We assume the responsibility
 Many competent diplomatic ob- servers wonder when Roosevelt will either give Stettinius his head or ship him to an overseas diplomatic post. One wiseacre asked testify, after a brush with Stettinius the other day. When will Roosevelt stop sending out boys to do a mans work?"

 When peace comes there will come with it a sense of security which is priceless The ideals for which have struggled will have been saved, at least for the moment. Millions of young men and young women will know-and their loved ones will know-that theirs will be no violent deaths on bloody fields of battle That knowledge, in itself is beyond price It cannot be measured by any economic rule
 America will pay certainly. War knows no budget knows such word as extravaganza. But the dollar price of victory is small when compared with the of defeat that few will begrudge their share of the expense. The resources we possess in nature, in power and in concepts of government are so tremendous that we overcome without any great suffering all the expenditures which the conflict has placed upon our shoulders We can do that and easily enough if will remember that our present accomplishments have come through system of free enterprise if guard closely that system through the future years

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not conapeW
SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 23

Neptune dominates the planetary influences today, when the rule is benefic. There should be keen fore sight and good judgment in im- portant matters while this con- figuration prevails.
 HEART AND HOMIE Women are under rather an adverse sway today which may be depressing and nerve-racking Recreation should be sought after a stubborn effort to keep a domestic ship on an even keel. This is a time to look for ward, not backward. Regret over lost joys should be overcome by determined will.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Wage earners should practice thrift for the remainder of 1944. After months of generous spending there should be careful survey of postwar con ditions. The seers predict many months in which numerous war in- dustries must maintain the highest standard of production, but the in- evitable postwar conversions will bring employment hazards.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: An access of patriotism will be evident in all parts of the United States as mil lions realize the full extent to which men in the service have suf- fered and sacrificed in winning their splendid victories in all parts of the globe.
 INTERNATIONAL A F F A R $: Hungary continues under evil DOT tents, presaging great discontent in the nations postwar position. There is a sign warning of more tricky, secret methods of the NaziS who will introduce barbaric devices of defense as they fight their last battles.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune, satisfactory health and generous financial returns.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be gifted and ambitious but sensitive and quick tempered.

fleets of intelligence work inside the Reich, are now finally convinced there is no chance of an honest anti-Hitler revolt by the German people. Whats more, efforts to spawn a pro-Allied underground in Germany have met with failure.
 Principal reason is that the Ges tapo controls everything-including the Army hierarchy. The commun- ist underground has been com pletely liquidated; also all rem nants of the Socialist and social Democratic parties.
 The only real hope Allied mili- tary leaders have is that the eleven million slave laborers brought to Germany by Hitler from Poland, Russia, France, Belgium, Holland and Norway, will conduct an in- creasing campaign of sabotage, per- haps giving heart to large groups of Germans to join them.
 A year ago, Hitler and his hench- men kicked these slave laborers around at will, fed them poorly, worked them brutally under a whip lash. Of late, this pressure has been eaSed In some instances, Nazis have reportedly given special treatment to their captives on the chance that they themselves will not be too badly punished by the Allies when Germany falls.
 It is now even possible for a few of these captiVes to escape from Germany-for a price in foreign money-as petty Na2i police try to accumulate enough foreign cur rency to live safely during the

 NOTE-Greatest complaint againt the Army point system is that it makes no allowance for men over 35, who apparently have to sweat it out until the end of the Japa- nese war, unless the War Depart ment makes new allowances for them.

Ashe Does 1t Again

Ashe county people are responding gen
erously to the call for funds for the emer-
gency infantile paralysis treatment center
in Hickory This is characteristic of the
people of this county. We have never
known a worthwhile cause to be properly
presented that did not get the response
it deserved from Ashe county; for it is
county responsive to the needs of humanity.
This cause has a personal appeal to
many, because Of the number of suffering
patients now being treated at the Hickory
center Many of them are known to large
number of us and we are conscious at all
times that even if we do not know some
of them that they are citizens of our own
state and many of them our own county.
The funds raised are being sent directly to
Hickory and will be wisely used to aid in
the fight against infantile paralysis. Every
one who has made contribution to the
cause can truly be thankful that he has
helped to alleviate pain and to aid in pre-
vention of Gripping after effects of this
dreaded disease.

cussion of the liquor question in
Ashe county. Rev. Mr.. Winkler
spoke from experience, stating
how Christ saved him from the
liquor traffic in Wilkes county
years ago and ever since he has
been total abstainer. Rev. Carl
Sturgill, of the Christian Unity
Church, made a strong appeal for
a solution of the problem from
the standpoint of preaching and
living the gospel. Rev. Mr.. Bark
er remarked that che had heard
much said about the question but
had seen little done and that it
was time to say less and do more"
Others said that eve should re-
frain from making the liquor
question political issue and let
it be moral issue, for it is a
moral ISSUE"
Also it was insisted that 1--WE
vote for the man who can give
the best assurance that he will
back a referendum in Ashe coun-
ty at the Legislature when it
meets in Raleigh.

es of infantile paralysis, because
1--WE feel that this policy will pay
in the long run and that it's adop-
ton of all counties simultaneous
ly will eliminate confusion"
The health officer cited the fact
that in the last major epidemic
(1935), 81 cases of infantile par
alysis were reported in August.
However, he added, the 1885 cpl
demic started in May, while the
current outbreak began in June.
I'm addition we know now that
convalescent patients frequently
have infectious stools for 30 days
or more after onset. The school
group, of course, is made up large
ly of children of the more sus-
ceptible ages.
Therefore, the possibility re-
mains that August, 1914, will be
as heavy or heavier than August
1885," he said.
