MONDAY, APRIL 17, 1939 Consider America First In a world so filled with terror and con fusion as has been brought about by the steady advance of Germany and Italy to ward control of all Europe it is hard for Americans, .so far removed from the cen ter of world events, to come to sound and sane conclusions as tp what the effect of the world disturbance is likely to be upon ourselves and our nation. A great variety of opinion as to what we ought to do |0r ought not to do, is be ing expressed by statesmen and near statesmen, in and out of Washington. Our greatest danger is that the idea may take possession of the American people that it is our national duty to go to the help of the “friendly” nations of Europe if their security is threatened. There seems little doubt that a great deal of propaganda, emanating from British and French sources, is being .set on foot in America to influence public opin ion. That is a dangerous thing. Just that sort of stimulated public opin ion got us into the la.st great European war. We came out of it “holding the bag.” We sacrificed the lives of fifty or .sixty thou.sand young Americans to “make the world safe for democracy,” and hari ly got even a “thank you” from the peo ples and governments we were supposed to be saving. We lent them billions of dollars, not A metal chemist told me one time ! was^offered a greet big feO if he would work out a formula for steel razor blades that would be very sharp at first but v^ould also be so soft they would not last for more than one" shave. Isn’t this crook ed? I eat cabbage for supper at $100 a ton from the grocer. The grower in North Carolina got $9 a ton. Isn’t this crook ed? When I was a kid at Columbus Junc tion, Iowa, we used to have a store keep er there—old Capt. Jones—who always wore a $15 black felt hat. Nothing cheaper would do. He went in to Chica go to buy a new one. The clerk showed him several at $5 to $7. Nothing do ng —^too cheap. Finally this clerk picked up the cast-off $6 hat, handled :'t ten derly, and told the Capt. he could have this one at the very special price of $16. Sold! Wasn’t this crooked? What are honest values, anyhow, and how can we get away from crookedness? A good way to start is not to be crooked ourselves. The installment buying plan may be all right, but isn’t it funny how one !o.ses one’s enthusiasm for the idea after about six month.s of paying.

Isolationists Object Stimson quickly drew tho fire of Senate Isolatlonlsta. including Hiram Johnson (R), Callforaia, when he voiced an almost blanket endorsement of Mr. Roosevelt’s foreign policy and supported the President’s theory, now .being put into practice, that "there are meastires short of war, but stronger and "more effective than words." to halt the dictators. .Tnhnson denied Stimson’s as sertions that the neutrality act is riddly restrictive and said he would not givo the President "disevetion to put us In a posi- t’on where he can take us into war.’’ "Do you believe in neutrality?’’ he demanded. •'I am in favor of our country not taking part—or meddling— ill a war unless it has some real NORTH WILKESBORO TURNING FIFTY (Greensboro Daily News) North Wilkesboro will be 50 vears old interest that may be injured by next year, and the passing ot this halt-] further questioning stira- century milestone, it i* gathered from thej son said that an aggres.sor should North W.:lke.sboro Journal-Patriot, is tO;’’’^ designated in any war atfect- be fittingly celebrated. j “Where do yon go from there?’’ Those with only a casual acquaintance .lohnson queried, with North Wilkesboro will be surprised' iie said that the next thing to at the reminder that it is so young a mem-l^^^^^^^ 3,.. ber of the sisterhood of North Carolina!pued that each particular war a ties.

If it has not ancient monuments of which to be proud, it also lacks those ane'ent monuments to be de plored, which all the older towns haven’t even paid us debt. And neither our efforts nor theirs made the world .rafe for democracy. There is a lot of tommyrot in all the talk about friendship between nations. No nation has any friends except tho.se which want to get something out of the fr endship for themselves. The es.sence of national interest is and must be self- interest. Before we even think of taking part in any war except in self-defense, we mu.st consider our own interest first. Nobody else will consider them. ^ — Looking Toward 1940 Everv'body who ha.s made e\en a .super ficial study of political history knows that it is not the personality of the candidate which determines Pre.^idential elections, but the issues and principles for which he and his party .stand. It is true that the orator who.se voice can stir the emot'ons often seems tp have an advantage over his opponent with a less persuasive p'atforni or radio pre.s- ence: but Presidential issuer are not de cided by such personal differences. Mr. Lincoln was one of the lea.st at tractive public speakers of his t me. and those who believed that the voters of the nation would be swayed by mellifluous word.s rather than by principles did not concede him a chance for election in 1860. And in more recent time.s, there had nev er been such an orator as William Jen nings Bryan, none could .stir crowds to such a frenzy of emotional enthusiasm as he. But Mr. Bryan failed in each of his attempts to win the Presidential election. Those suggestions are dropped for the cansideratidn of people who are .begin ning to think about the Presidential elec tion of 1940, as everybody is who is inter ested in politics—and that .ncludes al most! every American citizen. It will make little difference what par ticular individual ;s nominated by either of the great parties. The result will be determined by other considerations than that. .

PARKWAY SUGGESTION (Watauga Democrat) The building of the scenic highway a- long the cre.st of the Blue Ridge between two of the great nat'onal parks is of para mount intere.st to thi.s section of the coun try, and one quite naturally reflects upon the direct benefits which will come to the local populace with the completion of thi.s .st’upendous undertaking. or vital local concern is the que.sfc'on as to how the government will proceed in the development of the area not used by the actual roadway, what conce.ssions will be allowed, and lihe manner of their operation. In this connection, w h y wouldn’t it be a splendid idea to comstrucT some modern roadside markets along the . thoroughfare, where tourists would have the privilege of purchasing articles o food just as they come from the world’s fine.st produce gardens? These market could, by an arrangement with the count farm agents and home demonstration r gents and through the co-operation of de partments of agricultlire in the high schools, be used by different .groups or sections on specific dates, and cooperative anangements worked out, which it seems could be made to funcDion perfectly Such a program would meet with the immediate approval of a vast majority of tourists, and would supply at the sam: time, a dependable source of .’ncome for the people of the rural areas traversed b\ the highway.
