New Deals Fault

The new deal started using the alphabet in
strange and unfamiliar arrangements with the
creation of NRA, and because mere letters are
better adapted than words in writing newspaper
headlines the custom spread until now it is
impossible to pick up a paper without being
confronted with combinations that often puzzle
the closest observers of the passing show.
single headline in yesterdays Star is a
fair example of the extent to which the habit
has been developd. It contains three sets OF
initials-ACL, ice and FEC These of course
are not the product of the new deal. AL anti.
date its birth. And all are pretty well known.
But there are dozens of others less familiar,
it is not to be doubted that but for the new
deal and the posters it issued displaying great
NRA's we never would have found such trio
as the above in single headline.
While we are properly concerned for the re.
education of the Germans and Japanese il
would do no harm to start course in govern
nent public relations Offices newspapers and
for the benefit Of the future, in the public
schools, for the eradication of alphabetical
puzzles.

The Presidency

Among a nations assets is its elder states
men. This does not mean old politicians They
are chiefly useful in maneuvering candidates
into office. Their skill is most useful in cam
paign strategy.
Elder statesmen, however, are the men who
have survived the gruelling punishment of cam
paigns, the strain of executive office and from
their detached positions and vast experience
are best fitted to give sound counsel in times
of emergency.
BY our reckoning, former Presidents, by and
large are the true elder statesmen OF the
United States. But we impose such heavy
burdens upon them while in office, or they re-
main in office so long, that they either die in
office or linger among us but short time
after retirement.
Herbert Hoover is our only living former
president. While many of us cannot agree with
some of his activities since Cor before) his re-
turn to private life, it is not to be gainsaid
that much of his counsel has been wise,
especially on distribution Of relief, and both
this country and the suffering peoples OF
Europe would be the better if his advice had
been followed, or better still, if he had been
prevailed upon to direct our war relief.
Not only Mr.. Hoover's Quaker stock, but the
fact that he served but one term as President,
may be credited, we think, for his long life. AS
we cannot make it law of the land to elect
only Quakers to the presidency we could at
least limit the tenure of presidents to a single
term, preferably six, instead of four, years,
AL L., IL -.
The war and reconversion civil wars abroad
and labor difficulties at home have sidetracked
this project which once seemed destined to be
enacted into law. Sooner or later the other
troubles above will pass as the war passed.
When they do, and God speed the day, the
Congress could not adopt better law than
limiting presidents to one six-year term.

Editorial Comment
GREE FOOD?

So far as agriculture is concerned, the is
sue is whether our economy shall be so di-
rected that agriculture is a sef-supporting in
dustry, yielding returns sufficient to enable
farmers to enjoy reasonable standard of liv-
ing, or whether it will be sacrificed for the
benefit OF labor and industry, and be forced
to compete with the cheap labor and low
standards of living with the rest of the world,
and accept government subsidies to keep
farmers in production. One would suppose that
there was only one answer to such an obvi-
GUS question-that answer being a self-sup.
porting industry.
Nevertheless, there is powerful movement
being carried on to allow farm prices to seek
world levels and subsidize agriculture, so that
consumers can have cheap food. It is argued
that this will help distribute our national in
come because the subsidies are paid from the
Treasury, which collects its money from the
wealthy. The same reasoning would justify
the Government furnishing free food.-Albert
S. Goss in The National Grange Monthly.

Christmas Club Money

On November 26, five thousand banks and
savings institutions will start distributing to
1900, 600 members the $3.50, 1000 they have
accumulated through the Christmas club plan.
This represents 10 per cent gain over 1914
and is the highest in twelve years.
The average distribution is to be $72. Last
year the average was $7O
There have been 100000 more Christmas
club members than in 1884,
The total funds in these clubs is big money
in any mans calculations. If it is all spent at
time when consumer goods are scarce it will
certainly have an inflationary effect. On the
other hand, if it is invested in Victory bonds
it will have steadying effect and be available
later on when the supply of consumer goods is
more nearly equal to the demand and also
furnish capital for the investor when money
rs not as "free'' as at present. Il
\ This need work no hardship on the meTcnaas'

The Disarming Problem

Billions of United States dollars are tied
up IN weapons and war equipment. Frances
proposal to buy large quantities thereof elicits
the reply that this nation intends to scrap it
all and sell it only as junk. There will newt
ably be heavy loss We are not prepared to
approve or oppose the plan, but because France
is inadequately armed even properly to per.
form her duties in the occupation zone assigned
to her, there is reason in her proposal which
deserves serious consideration, despite our
traditional custom of turning swords into plow-
shares as soon as the fighting ceases.
An even more serious situation exists in the
Orient than in France, and it stems not from
scarcity but superfluity OF arms. The DISPOSE
ton of Far Eastern groups to engage in civil
war or revolution obviously has been encour-
aged by the great quantities of arms poured
in by the Allies and the disarnine of the
japanese.
Will to make war is impotent when arms are
lacking. By arms we mean all war-makine
equipment. Given arms and a will to fight.
war is inevitable. Indonesians, Chinese COM
munists, troublesome factions in Burma and
elsewhere are militant because they have
shooting irons and ammunition
As the world situation now is, it is more i'm.
portant to effectuate disarmins program in
the Orient than in Europe.

NEW BERN MAN RECEIVES
MEDAL WON BY BROTHER

NEW BERN, Nov. o. The Ma
riner's medal has been awarded
posthumously to Douglas William
Peek, of New Bern, who was lost
at sea with al 1.-The crew of the SIS
Albert F. Paul, Feb. %, 1943, near
bermuda, presumably the targe
OF Nazi submarine torpedo.
The medal was received by a
brother, Leonard Peek, along with
a letter Of presentation from Ad-
miral Emory S. Land, U. S. War
Shipping administrator.
Peek was a mate on the cargo
transport. He had been in the
merchant marine for some time.
Recently letter came to his moth
er, Mrs. Jennie c. Peek, asking
that she accept the medal for her
son at public {. ercises in Norfolk,
but Mrs Peek died a year ago

Auto License Ahead

Not that we enjoy spreading bad news, but it
seems none too soon to remind automobile
owners that the new license falls due on De-
cember and suggest that for the convenience
of everybody concerned it be paid on or as
soon after that date as possible to prevent or
minimize last-day rush.
The only consoling factor in paying licenses
on motor vehicles this year is that the govern
ment will not come along with its wartime use

President Truman has just signed eliminates

Poppy Day"

Poppy Day. is here again They will be
offered on the streets today without fixed
price You are expected to contribute what you
can spare, whether dime or dollar.
For twenty-four years now Poppy Day" has
been observed-first for the benefit of disabled
veterans of World War I. Now there is the ad-
ditional incentive to buy as the benefits will
be also for World War II veterans, the boys we
saw march bravely away only to return
crippled and shattered in mind and body, un-
equal to the task of earning an independent
livelihood.
They make the poppies, these pain-wracked
men of two wars, and sell them to Veterans
of Foreign Wars units to add to their creature
comforts and particularly to have the salts
faction of knowing they are producers on how
ever small scale.
The revenue acquired from the public sale
today will be devoted to welfare and reaabilita-
tion here at home, to the purchase of gifts for
hospitalized veterans and to contribute to the
V.F.W Orphans Home at Eaton Rapids, Mich.
1t is all for them, the boys of the former
World War, now, because of their broken
health or manned bodies, old men, and the
lads who have come back to us from Europe
or the Pacific to spend long months, perhaps
their entire lives, in wheel chairs, and the off
spring of veterans who have died.
Surely the buying of poppy today repre-
sents the fulfillment of the worlds need for
the brotherhood Of man.
