Progressive Former Editor

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 20-Ad-
dressing group of agricultural
leaders from Alabama, North Caro-
lima, Kentucky, Tennessee, and
Texas in Birmingham recently, DR..
Clarence Poe, President and Editor
Of The Progressive Farmer, and re-
Gently appointed by President Tru-
man as a member of the Advisory
Board of the Point Four Program,
said the whole South should profit
from development of under evel-
oped areas of the world under the
Point -Four program.
The program, stated DR.. Poe, is
not "give-away" project, but aims
to help foreign nations help them
selves through industrial and agri-
cultural development. DR.. Poe de-
fined the immediate objective of
the programs committee as provid-
ing of employment in industry and
progress in agriculture with the aid
of technical assistance and sound
investments by American capital.
1t is hoped that the program will
achieve a degree Of agricultural
progress in many rural regions of
the world comparable to that &C
complished in our own South
through the Agricultural Extension
work of farm and home agents.
The interest of American bust
ness in the Point Four program is
evidenced by the fact that Presi-
dent Truman secured Nelson A.
Rockefeller as chairman of tn e
board and Harvey S. Firestone, Jr.,
as a member. The President also
appointed John L. Savage, chief
designing engineer of the Hoover
and Grand Coulee Dams. and, in
dicating the great emphasis to be
laid on public health, DR.. Thomas

ESQ Pays Out
Is Million In 1850

Raleigh, Dec. Jan.-Payment
of approximately S18,500,000 to
100000 North Carolina workers
who were temporarily unemploy-
ed for a total of 1,22S,OOO weeks
as the result of conditions over
which they had no control during
the year 1850 made a valuable
contribution toward keeping the
States economy on an even keel
and hating the spiral OF unem-
ployment which tended to affect
the State adversely, particularly
during the first half of the year.
This appraisal was made by
Chairman Henry E. Kendall, OF
the Employment Security Com
mission of North Carolina, in a
review of the years activities OF
the Commission. More important,
however, was the achievement OF
the Commission in making refer
rails of workers to jobs, resulting
in 100000 placements in indus
try, business and agriculture
during the year. That record
was accomplished, Chairman
Kendall points out, even in the
face of retarded economic condl'
tions during the first half OF the
year.
The 81 local offices of the Com
mission throughout the State re-
ferred 218,OOO unemployed work
ers to non-farm job openings. OF
these, placements on jobs were
completed in 100000 cases. In adj
dition, 100000 placements were
made in farm jobs, largely IN
seasonal jobs for harvesting
North Cardinals perishable
crops.

CAN WE END WARS

To end war is one of the deepest
yearnings in the hearts of man.
kind.
Hope in this direction is found in
a report just issued by the FOunda-
tion for the Study of Cycles. This
shows that most international bat
ties have occurred at intervals of
about % years, back to 14O0 A. D..
Scientists now are beginning to
study the causes which underlie
these major war cycles. Once we
truly understand these causes we
can do a great deal about controll-
ing them.
One clue, according to the study,
is to be found in something that
occurs in nature. About every IL
years huge spots form on the sun.
They are known to affect physical
conditions on the earth. The spots
are of two kinds positive and neg
ative. At-a climax of the positive IL
Year period, people are inclined to
be rather Optomistic and slow to
take offense. Apparently at such
times they are more able to work
out their problems by negotiation
and statemanship.
In reverse, at a point in the next
II year sun spot cycle when the ne
gative factor dominates, people
seem to be more irritable and excit
able.
Right now, according to the
cycles of history we are at a point
when the people of the World if
left alone would have little urge to
fight. But the report warns that
we should keep our defenses strong
in case of some surprise or unex-
pected development.
Several years from now, the
pendulum of human emotions is
likely to swing toward a danger
zone, if history repeats itself. Long
before that time we should be pre-
pared by all the forces at our dis
pOsal to minimize the dangers of
World War.
AS we see it, the following 6
point program would be a guide in
helping us to avoid future World
Wars.

And the records of the Senate
and House haven't been any better
than those of the President.
Our armies and navies have been
increasing the intensity of the war
in Korea and other places. The
results have been bad The great
American Government sways back
wards and forwards and the United
States is stalled in the ditch. One
brave American commentator fur
nishes small comfort in the state
ment that the SOviets are not pre-
pared for war.
The best authorities insist that
the Russians won't be ready for
the big shooting match for nearly
two years.
No person so far has claimed
that the world has improved in all
these years. The Republican and
Democratic parties have battle
cries and slogans showing what
they could do, but they don't do IT.
That's the sad truth about mat
ters. The beginning of this cen
tury began so brightly but in this
month of March we find ourselves
in a dilema and cannot look for
ward happily to what is in sight.
With our great improvements in
every industry we have so much to

The sO-called Economic Stabiliz-
er Eric Johnston acknowledges

DON'T PLAY STALIN'S GAME
DESTRUCTION

The Administration recently slaShed it's
proposed tax increases for the next fiscal
year by substantial amount. This followed
a growing disinclinatiOn on the part of the
people, and therefore of Congress, to arbi-
trarily raise taxes in every direction, regard
less of the effect on our living standards and
our productive energies. Any new tax bill
must be drafted with the utmost care-and
it must not be passed until the whole COM
plex structure of government finance has
been examined. There must be the strongest
possible emphasis on government economy as
a first STEP The American people will pay
whatever taxes are necessary for defense and
esstential domestic activities. But they can
not be expected to pay more and more at a
time when pOlitics-as-usual dominates high
level Washington thinking. Furthermore,
the thOughtless drive to increase certain
special kinds Of taxes out of all reason must
be Curbed. The capital gains tax is an exam
pie of this. 1t is now 25 per cent, and the
Administration has asked that it be raised
by so per cent, to 3712 per. cent. It is true
that relatively few taxpayers are confronted
with the problem of capital gains and losses
for tax purposes. Yet this tax affects us all
Indirectly. If it is placed at too high level
the inevitable result is to discourage capital
from entering industry.-and then progress
Slows and our strength as nation is sapped
The smaller enterprise, rather than the big
well-fnanced corporation, takes the worst
beating when that happens. On top of that,
past history shows that an excessive capital
gains tax actually reduces government reven-
Ues from this source One of the Wisest
things ever said is, 'sThe power to tax is the
power to destroy" It was never more true
than it is today.

BABSON Discusses Education EMPLOYERS Want

last year of high school and his first year in col

To me the best part of the Eureka Plan" is
that it trains students to WORK instead of PLAY
Probably few students will accept the opportunity
but those who do will be in great demand for exec
utive jobs by industry if not drafted or by the
armed forces if drafted. They surely never would
be used for cannon fodder.
EDUCATION MUST NOT BE NEGLECTED
General Eisenhower has said, "a nation depend
ing on guns alone for its defense will soon be
corpse in armor" Character and education are our
buwarks against the totalitaran state Hitler failed
because he lacked these fundamentals Stain will
fail for the same reason. Hitler spent and Stain is
spending. huge sums for traning-not character and
educational training-but in teaching men to destroy
instead of to construct This is where the enemy is
weak. This is where we can be strong with our good

and theological struggle is every bit as important
as military battles in cOnQuering Communism Mr.

not with atom bombs, but with something the Amer
leans cannot produce-namey, propaganda 1T
ought to be crystal clear therefore, that we must
keep our educational system in the best possible
working order if it is to meet this new kind Of
attack successfully
GOVERNMENT AID JUSTIFIED
Schools and colleges cannot discharge this grave
responsibility if they are financially handicapped
Our Government should, therefore, seek practical
solutions at once which will give u.s. not only the
military strength to survive but also the guarantee
of maintaining our educational system intact This
is the vehicle which is so important to us in this
battle of ideas, brains. and doctrines But the gov
