Needed - A Work Shirt

Former Governor j. Melville
Broughton says it is time for the
South to replace its wailing wall with
a work shirt. He was addressing the
National Planning Associations Com
mittee of the South in New Orleans.
He was right, as he usually is.
But the advice is applicable not only
to the South but to all regions and in
dividuals.
If the South has been the victim of
self pity, if it has bemoaned its in
ability to complete successfully in in
dustrv. commerce or other enterprise,
and has adopted a wailing-wall at
titude. it has itself imposed the great
ecst obstacle to it's development there
bv. But the fact is that the same atti-
tude has been in existence elsewhere,
as witness for example, the people
living in the dust bowl or innu-lrrlgat-
ed areas of the West.
They need a work shirt too.
What we would emphasize, in sup
port of Mr.. Broughton's thesis, is that
the horny hands of toll are blessed
wherever they are.
It is work, not wailing, that makes
for success.

adds to the burden of the streams

Wages and Profits

You may have read, or overlooked a
brief article in a recent issue of the
Saturday Evening Post by L. Robert
Driver, New York tax consultant and
formerly connected with the United
States Treasury. Either way, it is
worth considering here.
"You Don't Get Wages Out of Loss
.es," Mr.. Drivers article was headed.
1t dwells with the relationship between
industrial profits and industrial wages.
The question, says the author, is this:
what would have been the gain to
labor if all industrial profits were ap-
piled to wages, assuming that wiping
out the whole profit economy could pro-
duce any gain at all? Here is one an
swer: If, in 1914 and 1915, the compen-
sation of employees had been increas-
ed by an amount equal to the income
of all incorporated businesses, all in
CCl CoC pdlU VI dCCI ucu anu all TcuLS dIlU
royalties, their compensation for those
years would have been increased by III
per cent and 1917 per cent respec-
lively. Such action would have meant
the bankruptcy of thousands of cor.
porations and would have left millions
of people, insurance companies anc
charitable and educational institutions
with no income at all. Furthermore, the
taxes paid on dividends and other so.
called unearned income would have tt
be paid exclusively by wage earners.'
Wages account for the larger share
of the income of American business
Profits account for a relatively small
share. There could be no wages with
out profits, because there would be nj
business to provide them.
Mr.. Driver concludes: "Wage in
come rises as profits rise. In a FREE
economy it cannot happen any othe'
way"

The Brigade Camp

So many factors have contributed to
hold back previous camping periods at
the Bruce B. Cameron Memorial Boys
camp at Pcrter's Neck, chiefly due to
the war and a polio scare, that the
prospect of full attendance this sum-
mer is doubly welcome.
The Brigade Boys club, among
whose activities the camp is c%onspicu-
Gus, has made preparation for more
than three hundred youngsters who
will remain from one to six weeks.
1t is not only that large attendance
is in sight registrations are increas-
ing daily, with the first ffty-two camp
ers already on the grounds) that is
especially gratifying both to the Bri-
gade directors and the Brigade's chief
sponsors, the Kiwanis club. In addition
the operation Of the camp will not
create a debt despite the increase in
the cost of supplies with the charge to
camper left at the old level.
It may be revealed that when the
possibility that camp revenue may not
be sufficient to pay all bills a showing
of hands at the last Kiwanis club meet
ing indicated that every member pres
ent, with one notable exception,
would gladly contribute whatever
money may be lacking at the close of
the season.
Clearly the Kiwanians who private
" subscribed more than $4,000 to build
the cottages On the camp site, have
no intention of letting the camp or the
Brigade's executive director, James
Copeland, down, or Of having to ap-
peal to the Community Chest for addi-
tional funds. This camp is distinctly
! joint Kiwanis and Brigade project.
While the season has been limited
10 six weeks. Mr.. Copeland is hopeful
that it may continue all summer -
that both finances and boys will be
available. The Kiwanis club has al
ready pledged financial help. The only
question is whether the boys will hold
out.
As the camp is open to all boys in
the community, not merely Brigade
members, and many who cannot pay
their way are being taken care of by
liberal advance donations, notably from
the v. F. W., Luther Raney and others
It would seem that Mr.. Copeland's
hope is in a fair way for fulfillment.
1t Is to be emphasized that the
Kiwanis club has no intention Of
soliciting outside aid. The project i!
too commendable to lack voluntary
support.

Hoouer's Peace Idea

WASHINGTON. - If H e + b e r t
Hoover's words about making a
separate peace with Germany
should become U. S. policy, practi-
cally every international big shot
in the country will have to go on
a diet of eating his own words.
What Hoover said was this: 1--WE
might even contemplate a separate
peace with this government (mean-
ing the merged American and
British zones of occupied Ger
many if the next conference OF
foreign ministers does not sue
coed in more constructive poll
cies."
Official American statements
against any idea Of a separate
peace treaty with Germany are
many. They have been made by
Roosevelt, Truman, Hull, Byrnes,
| Vandenberg, and Marshall. They
have been incorporated in a num-
Der Of official documents and
declarations made at Moscow,

tative samples:
In the Declaration of the United
Nations, first signed at Washing

ly signed by every n of the
United Nations except Argentina,
appears the original statement
against separate peace. Section
two reads:
Each government pledges itsel1
to cooperate with the govern
ments signatory hereto and not te
make a separate armlstice Of
peace with the enemies.
In the Declaration of Moscow.
signed by Hull, Eden, Molotov

Arthur H. Vandenberg summed
up the policy under which the Axis
satellite treaties were drawn up
by saying: 1t is a policy which
invites all the countries partlcl
pating in the war-instead of a
closed corporation of big powers
to have a proper voice in the
making of the treaties and the
entering Of the peace which re-
suits from the common victories
which we all helped win. 1t is
a policy which wants a peoples
peace"
In his message to Congress last
Jan. 6, Truman said: During
the long months of debate on these
(six Axis satellite) tfalies, we
have made it clear to all nations
that the U. S. will not consent to
settlements at the expense OF
PRINCIPLES we regard as vital to a
lust and enduring peace. We will
not retreat to isolationism. Our
policies will be the same during
forthcoming negotiations in Mos
cow on the German and Austrian
| treaties and during future con-
ferences on the japanese treaties
A week later in a speech at
Cleveland just before his retire
ment, Secretary Byrnes said: I'VE
must not let ourselves believe that
peace can be made by any one
treaty. or series of treaties, or by
any one resolution or series OF
resolutions. And We must not
let ourselves believe that the
struggle for peace is hopeless be-
cause we can't at once find ways
of reconciling all our differences
Secretary Of State Marshall took
up this theme in a statement at
Moscow March Is, during the
Council of Foreign Ministers meet
ing. "It is the view Of the U. S.
that when common detectives have
been agreed upon by the four
occupying powers the absence Of
any agreement to experimentation

venting one or more of the oc-
cupying powers from doing wha,

vance these common detectives,

Truman's Big Chance

Two of the major blunders Of the
Roosevelt dynasty were the so-called
"gains" of union labor, through which
a few labor despots were able to dictate
to the government, and the gamble
that Russia would play fair with the
democracies.
Both have placed the United States at
q serious disadvantage in domestic re-
covery and world affairs.
The Congress has done it's part to
correct the first. The labor control bill
passed in both Senate and House by a
sufficient majority to override a veto
if President Truman should take that
step may not be the best legislation for
the regulation of labor, but it would
at least make it impossible for John
L. Lewis to carry out his obvious pur-
pose to call the miners out of the pits
on July l unless the operators bow to
his wishes, or the railroad brother
hoods to halt rail communication,
which appears to be the purpose Of
their leadership.
The bill prohibits, through i%njunc-
tons, all national paralysis strikes -
which both Of these would be.
President Truman is being urged to
veto the measure, not only by the union
chieftans but by persons in high fed
eral positions. If he should do so, and
by any chance Congress failed to
muster the necessary t%wo-thirds vote
to repass it, Mr.. Truman personally
would have to take the responsibility
for an inevitable wave of strikes in
major industries, such as have already
delayed the nations recovery program.
If he should, he would be placing
this responsibility upon everybody
within the national frontiers ur ar a
business handicap that could not be
overcome for years and strengthen
the dictatorship the aforesaid labor
despots already enjoy - and abuse.
Ever since the Russians, with Amer
lean equipment, munitions, planes,
guns, food - S11, 600, 900, 900 worth of
lend-lease - started their counter Of
fensive against the Germans, the Sec
ond Of Roosevelt's errors of judgment
has been plain for any one to see.
Instead of cooperating with the
democracies which saved them from
the nazis they have steadily expanded
their control of former enemy
tries with the apparent purpose of rul-
ing all eastern Europe from the Baltic
to the Mediterranean, and as much
more as they can dominate, not only in
Europe but Asia as we'll.
In the case of the Russians, Presi-
dent Truman has shown more courage
than we have been led to believe he can
summon in his dealings with labor. He
has not hesitated in effect to call the
coup a dastardly action. He
gives promise of continuing to block
the spread Of communism with every
weapon at his command, including the
tax money of his fellow Americans.
We have reason to be proud of the
position he has taken in international
affairs. Hopefully we will have as much
reason to praise his position on labor.
