Small Business In
Despair

Small business firms started
since the war. particularly those
launched by returned veterans. are
reported as finding the going very
rough.
Reasons assigned for the diff
cultios encountered include labor
restrictions. merchandise shortages
and the maze of government regu-
lations. The lack of business ex-
perience on the part of many G.. | s
is another factor entering into tn"
situation.
Milford chronicle., 1946-08-23

THE CONCERN OF returned veterans with
local politics, spectaculary evident in Tennessee
recently, was apparent again last week in the for
secret caucus at Pnehurst.
The fifty former esrvicemen who came from
all parts of the State decided, unlike Tennes>ec's
veterans, to operate through existing State Demo
cratic organizations, at least temporarily.
"As citizens" they said, We recognize
duty and responsibility participate in the orderly
achievement OF progressive aims through demo
cratic government As members OF the armed ser
vices resolved to discharge duty and
possibility, and veterans, we place those
above any other group interest.
The group elected as chairman }}vcm old
lawyer and Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the Univer-
sty of North Carolina. Its fourteen point program
endorsed participation in politics of all eligible clt-
from precinct level to highest office" and the
belief that every member of every racial, religious
other minority should have in fact equal oP
portunty with all other for economic and cducI
tional Advancement
The Raleigh News and Observer, applaudcd the
program as an antidote for comp placency in the
party South and urged public officials in Raleigh
and Washington to see that the reforms
ried out.
The approach of these southern seems
to be the safe and sound method of breaking up
the abuse of the party machines which have Ions
dominated all southern states The method might be
tried with profit all in the northern cities where
gangsters have long run the political machines

THERE WAS GOOD NEWS and warning
in this weeks appraisal of developments in the rural
Midwest.
The good developed from the fact that
the areas contribution expected national
crop of about 5,S0O,O0O, 900 bushels should as
adequate supply of meat, poultry, Lard
milk and eggs in l947. The Improvement might hc
slow, but 1t should be steady if Washington man
tains profitable atmosphere for the producers.
The warning came from several quarters and
in several forms Spokesman in the Midwest and in
Washington cautioned that farmers contnu-
ing to flirt dangerously with land price boom un-
comfortably similar to that which followed World
War l.
Experts in that area also are hlmmcrng hard at
several problems facing farmers. The need for soil
conservation work is urgent, because expanded crop
production has sapped much of the soil, Some farm
lands, particularly those south of Nebraska face
shortage of subso moisture and may encounter
severe dust blows during the fall and winter. Far
mers must prepare to face an inevitable downward
trend in farm prices, slump occa>oned in part by
their prodgious productions
These and other hazards are pushed aside for
the moment, however, by the record corn crop that
IS almost within touching distance. And most Mid
observers agree that great deal of this
