Chest Study Unit
Members Praised by
Chairman leahy

Praise for the members Of the
Citizens Study Committee on the
Community Chest came yesterday
from William D. Leahy, chairman
of the group.
Mr.. Leahy spoke at luncheon IN
the Hotel Statler, attended by more
than 200 representatives of business
concerns and business and citizens
associations at the invitation of
Edward H. Foley jr., chairman of the
Community Chest Federation cam
paign and members of his volunteer
advisory committee.
II know of no group which worked
more industriously and sincerely in
the job which was put up to it than
that committee in its investigation
and study of our Community Chest"
Mr.. Leahy said.
The fact that committees report
did not turn out to be unanimous
was "to me an indication of the
honesty of that group in attempting
to arrive at some report that would
be of benefit for the drives in the
future" he declared.
Fayors Constructive Criticism.
Mr.. Leahy said he considers
criticism good thing when it is
constructive" and that a report full
of empty platitudes" would give
little to the community.
Far from feeling discouraged that
the report was not unanimous, feel
rather sense that the community
and, more particularly, the Com
munity Chestvhave benefited by the
division and difference of opinion"
he said.
IF any group in such big project
as the dispensation of charity to
million people expects to find that
dispensation can be made with the
unanimous approval of every one, it
is expecting the impossible" he
declared.
Edward Arnold. the movie actor,
who came to Washington to attend
a meeting at the White House on
overseas aid. was a guest at the
luncheon. He spoke briefly, wishing
success for the campaign here and
commencing the federation plan.
1T has been my idea for many
years that federated giving is the
only way to give" he said.

Deport Wallace To Russia

Henry Wallace, former member of
the United States Cabinet and Vice
President, seems now to have nothing
in common, with the American way of
life. Whether he is actually a mem
Der Of the communist party or not, his
viewpoint is so close to the party line
that few can perceive any difference.
He has long %endeavored to create
a hybrid citizenship in his native land.
He would have us adhere simultaneous
ly to the principles of the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights, and to the
totalitarianism which Russia practices.
Not content with causing all the con-
fusion and d~issention he can at home,
he has now travelled to England and
proposes to invade France, in the latter
case by invitation Of the communists,
to preach this same hybrid citizenship
Inasmuch as he is no longer in sym
pathy with true Americanism we
recommend that he be transported te
Moscow, where he may live out his life
in perfect accord with the communistit
regime.
He is n native American we car
well get along without.

While it is now impossible for some
thing of the sort to be done in North
Carolina, the legislature having ad-
@journed for two years, it is solacing to
note that at least one state has raised
its official voice against the tax burden.
Says the resolution:
Indiana needs no guardian and in
tends to have none. We Hoosiers-like
the people of our sister states-were
fooled for quite a spell with the magi-
clans trick that a dollar taxed out of
our pockets and sent to Washington,
will be bigger when it comes back to

dollar. We find that it lost weight in
its journey to Washington and back.

cided that there is no such thing as

no wealth to tax that is not already

ourselves and take care of ourselves.
We are fed up with subsidies, doles
and paternalism. We are no ones step

King Paul's Views

King Paul of Greece appears to
have his feet on the ground, as we
perversely say of persons who general
ly think soundly and behave well.
In an interview with a New York
Times correspondent, Raymond Daniel,
he recently declared: eve want and
intend to be friends with everybody
except the communists
He is eager, he said, that Ameri-
cans should understand that he and
his family are "above party" and the
differences that divide political groups
in Greece, and furthermore he is de-
termined that the prestige of the throne
should not be used to the advantage
of any group.
This, we think, is promising and
can only hope that he has the courage
and power to uphold it in all circum-
stances.
His attitude toward the communists
may be we'll understood in what he
said to his interviewer. In half the
villages in Greece, he said, "there are
families mourning loved ones. slain by
communists" They used the resistance
movement during the war, he added
as a cloak for their real purpose, which
was seizure of power upon liberation
Only a small minority of the mem
bers of the hill bands now fighting
he declared, are communists in the
sense of being party members or en-
bracing Marxist ideologies, and mos
of them would return to orderly pur
suits if the communist leaders "Wer
killed or captured"
The mailed fist of Moscow is so ap
parent in the present effort to spreat
rebellion in Greece there can be nj
reasonable doubt that the United
States should come to the aid OF tn
government to prevent the further ex
tension of Russian domination II
Europe.
