The Da nbury Reporter N. E. PEPPER, Editor and Publisher Issued Wednesdays at Danbu-y, N. C., and entered at the Danbury i postoffice as second class matter, under act of Congress. Danbury, N. C-, June 20th, 1940. LET'sIviAKE AMERICAN DEFENSE UNANIMOUS Mr. W. H. Neal, vice president of the Wachovia Bank & Trust Co.. calls the Reporter's attention to what he considers "most unfair and quite un reasonable" criticism of Mr. Hanes, president of the Wachovia Bank and also now president of ihe American Bankers Association. Mr. Neal's reference is to the editorial in last week's issue of the Reporter embracing a report by the Associated Press of Mr. Hanes' speech at: Hayden Lake, Idaho, recently in which the pres ident of the bank and the association said: "Every citizen of America should guard care fully his personal liberty in this time of stress. Once your liberties are taken away they will never be returned. There is too much talk of war. The United States needs to work solidly and calmly. Let us not confuse defense of our nation with a HYSTERIA which will sweep us needlessly into SOMEONE ELSE'S WAR." Commenting on this statement the Danbury Reporter asked if "this thrust was aimed at the Reichstag or the White House"—the Fuehrer or President Roosevelt? It was further surmised in our editorial that such propaganda launched by a person in the high position of the President of the Wachovia Bank and the American Bankers Association— the propaganda launched by the implization that this war is not OURS but is SOME ONE ELSE'S —was discouraging to the morale of ;he people and therefore dangerous to the liberties of the American people. Mr. Neal evidently contacted his chief who is on a speaking tour in the west, and furnished him with a sense of repercussions back home For, a w r eek later Mr. Neal quotes a speech which the North Carolina banker "WILL MAKE" on the 19th (yesterday) at Estes Park, Col., in which it is disclosed that Mr. Hanes is swinging around quite loyally to the support of the President of the United States and his policies for the defense cf the nation. While still shying at HYSTERIA, the banker evidently does not still believe that the war against the European democracies is not OUR WAR. It is very pleasing news that all former critics of "everything Roosevelt" are coming around to ihe view that our frontier is where France died and England will die, and that we should pre pare to defend it. > (Kdiiurial.) President Roosevelt Appoints Knox And Stimson to the Cabinet Woodring and Edi son Resign President IJoosevelt today ap pointed Henry L. Stimson to bs secretary of war, and Frank Knov to be secretary of the navy- Woodring and Kdison, who re spectively held these positions, have resigned. President Roosevelt's selection of these two eminent Republicans, thus establishing a coalition cab inet, will meet the approval of the country in general. This means the solidifying of both parties in this critical time and their wholehearted support of the program for defense. Frank Knox was Republican candidate for vice president in 1936; Stimson was secretary of state in Hoover's cabinet- Both of these men are able and patriotic statesmen.
