May Bring Correction

IS Now that non-suit ruling has apparently
. brought finish to the case of R. L. Fritz,
: Jr., as far as he and the courts are con-
/. cerned, the immediate reaction of most
Tar Heels is that the airing out of matters
and practices which the trial provided
could prove beneficial to future school ad-
ministration.
The fact that practices complained of
~have been indulged in and the inference
that they have been common over the state
NAV bring about corrective measures to
prevent them in the future.
It is to be hoped that as much, if not
more, attention is given to the system of
MANAGEMENT as was allocated to the prin-
cipal of the Hudson school who was acquit-
ted of false pretense in juggling his pay
roll.
There is. some speculation but almost no
conclusion as to what effect outcome of the

some call this veil Of tears, many sad
and breaking events are met, some
of them more than enough, it would seem,
to shatter the strongest the mcst intelli-
gent of men.
But the first principal must be to go on,
and on and on to the allotted time. Having
accomplished well in this world, to do 9TH
erwise would be to undo all the good that
has been DONE To do otherwise than to
march along life's highway would be sad
affair, indeed, for those who expect great
things of us after they are gone.
It's like the mother, who knew she was
slipping away, who told her son that from
now on was his test, that his manhood
was to be proved now that she was going
away; that for him to do otherwise now
would be a great disappointment to her.
"You wouldn't let me down, now, would
you SOM"
These words coming from a death bed
have sent many an otherwise hopeless and
defeated man out into the world, there to
bring credit to his mother through accom-
plishments of his own.
Thus it is with all of us, about all of us.

The only reason why Stain did not give
the order for an out -and-out political revo-
luton in the two countries. according to
confidential diplomatic intelligence re-
ceived in Washington, was the failure OF
labor unions to respond to his call as COM
pletely as he had anticipated.
He dared not give the signal for gen
eral strike unless he was certain that 1t
would be successful enough to throw out
conservative cabinets and place his groups
in power.
To fail in an all-out attempt would have
shown the weakness of his hand.
Therefore, he notified his agents in both
countries to continue their harrassment but

. American labor leaders, according to
word in Washington, have been instrument
D.. tai in keeping European unions from full
alliance with Stain. Several prominent la
i. Dor officials have made trips abroad to ex-
plain the Marshall plan and to promise
. that American aid was coming They have
. helped sell the idea that European labor
would lose everything and gain nothing if
lit cast its lot with the Soviet Union
- Thus it is easy to see that we have won
the first round of the contest for conf
dence.
Whether we shall continue to hold the

Man's Brutality

1t has often been said one cannot believe
half they read in the newspapers whereas
the truth is most likely the direct oppo-

papers.
This is most certainly true of mans bru-
tality. Were it all published in one day
that which happens in one day. there would
hardly be room for anything else.
The finding of those two little boys re-
Gently is a point in the case. One child, a
mere infant died as a result. His two year
old brother may do so. They were found
starving, cuddled up by the bodies of their
mother and grandfather who had been shot
to death.
If one can imagine this pitiful scene;

is nothing but lot of balloons out of the
jungles, with clothes on. That's an insult
to the balloons, in some cases.

Life Is A Duty

new trunk with branches will reach

The mortally wounded animal that is
supposed to be dumb, without anything
akin to the soul of man, will fight for life,
die for others of its kind and cry like a

To do otherwise would be cardinal vio-

tification, when things 60 higher

there are exceptions to this rule,
as there are to most others, and
such an exception was recorded
yesterday in dispaucnes from
Washington with reference to the
1947-1948 budget. With the Trea-
sury now entering the period of
heaviest tax collections, it was
estimated that receipts for the
nine months ended March 30
might reach 81, 900, 900, 900. There
is a good chance, moreover, ac-

that this figure might still hold

all the crazy, mixed-up politica
| ca .uations ever strung up fol
the American voters to gaWk at
today's picture takes the ALT le
surrealistic grand prize.
/. The conservative wing OF the
Republican Party seems hell
bent on electing a Democrat tol
President in 1913.
2. The liberal wing Of the Dem
ocratic Party is doing its darn
dest to see that Repub'
lcan gets elected.
8. Propaganda of the Commu'
mist Party in the U. S. makes peo'
pie want to become re-
actionaries.
4. The reactionaries for their
part, by every word and deed,
make independent voters think
there may be something to this
socialistic stuff after all.
S. Labor organizations, by
their newly intensified political
activities, are solidifying the
position of anti-labor forces that
want to curb the uni, S still
further.
s. Finally, employer groups
are advocating economic policies
which can only lead to their own
ruin and depression, if expert
ences of the past mean anything,
and if history does repeat.
President Truman's popularity
has risen steadily since the No
vember, 1916, election low. The
polls show it's staying high. This
| is not due to anything in parti-
cular that the Democrats have
done.
Any rise in Democratic pres
tige is nothing more than a mea-
sure of Republican decline since
1916. If that is the case, there
may be something wrong with
the Republican program. II
couldn't be that killing off price
controls, easing up on rent con-
trolls, ending the veterans nous

labor legislation are unpopular,
could it?
If they are, maybe the Repub-
licans had better change their

thing about these high prices, or
else reconcile themselves to
electing Democrats in 1948.
Opposed to that, Henry Wal
|lace's new insistence that there
will be third party in 1948, if
the Truman administration
doesn't change it's foreign-policy,
is a definite threat to split the
Democratic Party.

propaganda could not be more
inept. It is so bad that every

Hurdles In Home Stretch

The end of the Christmas recess will
find Congress facing the gravest challenge
to craftsmanship and legislative wisdom
since the war ended.
The question of long-range aid to Europe
and the problem of domestic initiation can
not be put aside any longer. They must be
threshed out to a decision. And the con-
5ressmen will be working toward that de-
cision under big handicap.
The nation is going into another presi-
dental election year and the record OF
solving pressing major problems in cam
paign year is not too brilliant. This is par
ticularly true when different parties con-
troll the White House and the capitol.
The League of Nations got hung up on a
political hook 27 years ago when there was
Democratic President and Republican
CONGRESS. There was a slight Democratic
majority in the House and an almost evenly
divided Senate under Mr.. Hoover in 1892,
when the country floundered into that de-
preston ridden election year. The patient
nearly died while the political doctors dis
agreed.
Once again, in 1948, we have a partisan
split in the two branches of government.
And this time two big issues confront the
lawmakers The emergencies in foreign
policy and domestic economy are of diff
ferent origins and require different RENE
dies. Yet the effectiveness of each remedy
will depend upon the other. The two pre-
scriptions must be written with that
thought in mind.
American voters may as we'll resign
themselves now to a lot of finger pointing
and good many dead-end snipe hunts. 1t
is already clear that the Marshall plan is
in for some rough going. And while high
prices, like sin, are something both parties
can safely be against, there will be further
efforts to fix the blame rather than find
the cure There will also be some side
trips in search of quick and easy vote
winning issues.
About the best thing the voters can hope
for is that the forthcoming disputes will be
conducted in an atmosphere of sincerity
as well as political expediency They can
also hope that arguments will spring from
careful reasoning.
| 1t is not enough for a congressman to
, tell the administration that it must "stor
its shenanigans with foreign aid money. u
It is not enough for the administration to
ask congress for funds or powers without
giving the most detailed assurance possible
that they will be used intelligently
The revealing history of the last 25 years
is available to congress and the President
as they enter the home stretch of Mr.. Tru-
mans term. 1t is a history of isolation
appeasement, unpreparedness and war, 'o1
prosperity and depression, of free enter
rpise and government control, of big prl-
vate spending and big public spending.
| Some members of the present Congress
had quite hand in making some of that
history. They can remember, and others
can learn, what was done and what wasn't
what worked and what didn't. They may
not agree in evaluating successes and fall
ures But surely they can see where the
most glaring mistakes were made-including
ing some made in the legislative chambers
of the capitol. Let us hope they do not
repeat them.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-12-23

with perfect safety. Instead o1
making coverts to communism
it turns Americans against the
Moscow line. If any proof of that
is wanted, look at the way the
American labor movement has
cleaned house in the past year,
and how it has come out in full
support of the Marshall Plan,
which European Communists
are working their hardest to sab
otage.
Vice-versa, the attitude taken
by a few leaders of American
business in this era of initiation
is genuinely alarming.
They advocate: Return to a
longer work week. A freeze on
minimum wage levels. Tax cuts
(which discriminate against low
income groups. Opposition to any
lowering of prices. Opposition to
all plans for ALLEGATION of scarce
materials. Killing off the recri-
procal trade program for
increasing world trade and inn
ports. Opposition to safeguards
against overexpansion of credit
Gripping antitrust laws. Opposi-
ton to low cost housing pro-
grams. Ending full employment.
Any program incorporating
such ideas conjures up to manv
people a return to the 1905 -
or at least to the 192O's. A re-
turn to boom and bust. Such poll
cles are bound to be fought be-
cause many thinking people be-
lleve that it will take only one
more good depression like that
OF the 1905 to make the U. S.
do a political about-face and eno-
brace a system far to the left If
anything in the New Deal.
"A swing to reaction now could
easily be followed by a counter
swing to something like Rritain's
Socialism. Sincere anti-Commun-
lists and believers in capitalism
say there is as much to fear
from too much conservatism as
there is from liberalism.

AFL, CIO and railway brother

however, this new political agi-
fation by the labor unions has on
ly served to make the lawn ak
