Business is concerned as to
what the Republican will do, if
they are elected, about what is
called initiation or deflation. We
now have a dollar which has
purchasing power of roughly 81
cents as compared with 1889.
That figure varies as prices vary
and prices are affected most in
this country by the cost of la
Dor and by taxes.
Therefore, some elements =
mong labor fear that if the Re-
publicans come to office, they
will remove certain props which
keep wages high. The princi-
pal props are our huge expendi-
lures for national defense, as pre-
paredness for war is euphemis-
tically called, and our foreign
aids, the most costly of which is
ECA. Neither of these can be
dispensed with or be seriously
curtailed.
Farm prices, on the other
hand, are kept high by federal
subsidies and by government pur
chases. In a measure, this is
prop for high wages (although a
fictitious one) because as long
as the cost of food is high, the
cost of wages must be high, as
the laborer must be paid suffi-
GENTLY to be able to purchase
his sustenance. The Republicans
are not likely to change this equa
ton because it cannot be done
swiftly or drastically without up
setting the economy of the ma
ton.
Any severe fall in prices-any-
thing, for example, approaching
a return to prewar prices-would
inevitably result in unemploy-
ment, depression and widespread
hardship. This is because it
it impossible to have falling
prices and continue to have
rising national income. The high
prices that the housewife pays
for pork chops and hamburgcrs
and the high wages brought
home are only two different as
poets of the same picture. They
are both result of the great ex-
pansion of money income which
has been brought about by the
huge government spending, es-
pecially the spending by the Co.
vernment of borrowed money.
1t is only natural that we
should all like to be able to keep
the present level of wages, earn
inss and dividends, and at the

Universal
Democracy
Not Possible

The Communists have evolved
. vicious policy of promoting
civil wars in Malaga and Burma,
according to Foreign Secretary
Ernest Bevin, who warns that
the same thing might crop up
next in Africa, or elsewhere and
must be "relentlessly combat
ted"
The United States government
In a statement apparently agrees
with the conclusions of the Brit
ish government in regard to
what is going on in Asia.
The Communist policy of stir
ring up trouble is also apparent
In Japan where the Russian
government protests what it con-
siders to be restrictions upon the
right of labor unions to organ
ize. Obviously, if radical ele-
ments in Japan, or elsewhere,
under Communist influence, are
permitted to organize for direct
tactics" there will be trouble.
It should be noted by those
who are interested in the real
progress of the world that there
exist millions of people entirely
incapable of selfsovernment.
Nevertheless, in these areas
there are leaders who agitate for
liberty, freedom and justice but
the only thing they have in
mind is the acquisition of power.
In other words, the outs want to
get in.
It ought to be apparent that
there exists no opportunity for
real democracy in many areas
Of the world, including millions
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-09-28

of peoples. This is the situation
in India, in China, in Africa and
in other parts of Asia. To grant
the forms of freedom to peo-
pie without the education or
training to utilize them is to give
dangerous weapons to unscrupu-
lous agitators.

(A) Tired of married life,

very wealthy. he refused to sup

that he give each one of them a
fixed monthly allowance. But
the court turned down their re-
quest, saying that lawsuits by
children against their own par

however, has disagreed with this
ruling.

positions when the Senators took
the field in the bottom half, as you
will see from the box score.

succession, but DiPrima took a third
called strike for the first out. Steve

second for out number two, with
Weingartner moving to third, and it
looked as if Schultz might get out of
it without any damage. But Man
ager Joe Buzas hit ball to short
that Daddario was able to knock
down, but there was no play pos
sible and it went as an infield hit,
with Weingartner scoring. Ticco

DOUBLE PLAYS

Through Tuesday night with 66
games played, the Owls had COM
pleted 43 double plays-29 at home
and IA on the road.
This is 10 less than the team COM
pleted last year with the same num-
Der of games played.
Joe Halvonic, the Owls third
baseman, has been sent to Auburn,
New York, while Mike Rooms has
been traded to Sunbury for Polin-
ski, an outfelder, who joined the
club on Saturday.
Manager Benny Culp is juggling
his team around in an endeavor to
hit on winning combination, but
so far he has had no luck. But
maybe, by the time the club returns

have hit their stride.
