This newspaper invites its readers to express their opinions on matters of public interest through its columns. The Press Maconian is independent in its policies and is glad to print both sides of any question. Letters to the editor should be written legibly on only one side of the paper and should be of reasonable length. The editor reserves the right to reject letters which are too long, are of small general interest or which would violate the sensibilities of our readers.

"In July 1941," he said, "an American battleship in North American waters was followed by a sub marine which for a long time sought to maneuver itself into a position of attack. - "The periscope of the submarine was clearly seen. No British or American submarines were within hundreds of miles of this spot at the time, so the nationality of the submarine is clear." These incidents, taken collectively, the President said, could only be regarded as part of a general nazi design "to abolish the freedom of the seas, and to acquire absolute control and domination of the seas for themselves." With that control in their hands, the next step would be "domination of the United States and the western hemisphere by force", with no American vessel "free to carry on any peaceful commerce ex cept by the condescending grace of this foreign and tyrannical power." i The President also said the navy would protect not only American ships but "ships of all flags" from attack when sailing "in our defensive waters." This promptly aroused speculation whether a con voy system for those areas was in the making. "We have not sought a shooting war with Hit ler," the President said in this world-wide address. "But neither do we want peace so much that we are willing to pay for it by permitting him to attack our naval and merchant ships while they are on legitimate business." Morganton News-Herald. TOE IPOCECETBOOrC of ECRIQWJL1EPE Press Comment Battles On Home Fronts DROGRESS in public health can be measured in many ways. Since public health departments and public health nurses have been established in North Carolina, not only have general health con-ditions-been improved, but health education and knowledge of communicable diseases have saved lives and prevented suffering to a degree that can not be measured. . ; One of the far reaching benefits of public health service, is the changed attitude towards the regula tions necessary to carry out disease preventive meas ures. The time was in the memory of many of us when colds were taken as a visitation of Providence that descended, like the rain, on the just and the unjust ; when parents let their children catch the measles, whooping cough, and other contagious dis eases from each other "to get them over with"; when tuberculosis was "consumption" that "ran in the family" and when typhoid was a dreaded and all-too-frequent scourge that came to all at some time or other. When mothers died at childbirth and babies of colitis, the frequency was accepted with a sorrdwful fatalism as "the Lord's will." Now, all this is changed. The Southern Tuberculosis Conference held this week is one yardstick of this progress. Before pub lic health consciousness had developed, tuberculosis claimed more lives in the United States than any other one disease. Now it occupies fifth place and the death rate is constantly diminishing. Through the years many scientists in the laboratory and doctors and nurses in the field have fought, often through discouragement and indifference, to con quer this foe. This campaign arid others are indica tive of battles being won with the weapons of knowledge and organized methods of prevention. A changed and enlightened attitude on the part of the public is an added factor in the winning of the war on our home front. We have had a demon stration of this in our own community during the past week. Poliomelytis, commonly known as in fantile paralysis, about which little is yet known as to sources of infection, and which has grown to epidemic proportion in many other communities, has shown itself in two cases. Promptly the health department has adopted the drastic preventive mea sures of closing schools and barring all children under 16 years old those most liable to infection from public gatherings. The cooperation of all in stitutions thereby affected, of parents, children and the public generally in willingness to submit to this regulation, is an encouraging sign of progress in disease prevention and health building. MAKING THE WARNING CLEAR AMERICANS as a whole hate war. American mothers in particular do not want war. How ever, peace at any price is considered by all freedom-loving people as worse than war. Because that sentiment is practically unanimous in this country there has been almost general approval of the Pres ident's order, announced in a radio address last Thursday night, that he had issued instructions to the navy, of which he is commander-in-chief, not to wait to be fired on by axis submarines, surface raiders or aircraft, but to "shoot first". The President gave these orders with the full knowledge of what they may mean. The country knows that they may lead eventually lo a formal declaration of war by Congress. Before making his historical announcement, the chief executive recounted, one after another, attacks upon American ships which led to his statement of policy the U.S.S. Greer, the Robin Moor, the Steel Seafarer, the Sessa. And to these he added an inci- TWO OF A KIND (Asheville Times); Governor Broughton is right: if I Mr. Lindbergh wishes to bring to this state what Senator Reynolds hails as "the message of truth, there should be no opposition; the North Carolina minority (a small one) has the right to speak and to stage demonstrations. Further revealing his knowledgennt peace after hastilities j, yond the horizon of the people who apparently are not sufficiently interested in helping to correct the evls of the world men whose horizons go beyond . the hatred, bitterness and selfishness of the spirit created . by war -men whose horizons carry them beyond all of the things of a "temporary nature, who are willing to combine their ef forts and give the best they have toward planning a road to perma- of what Is proper, Governor Brough ton explains that he would not at tend the isolationist discord rally, since he is opposed to everything Lindbergh says in his speeches on foreign policy. But pleas note the aplomb with which your Bob (if you are a near sighted isolationist in a world on fire) assumes the attitude of Fath er Reynolds to my people m North Carolina. "My people," quoth the daring commander of old Troop B cavalry of pre-Mexico border trouble days, are "now aeainst Lindbergh, but they are "eager" to hear both sides; and of course Pappa Bob, well knowing what is really best for us, is even more eager for his rival in dis credited prophecy and preachment to spread dissension and anti-British feeling among a people who in vast majority still look upon Brit ian, with all her faults, as the Mother country. They, are a strange pair thus brought together in the endearing bonds of little Americanism, blind judgment, intolerance and false reasoning. Lindbergh does have a glorious past and is still an able technician in his field. Your Boo (if you admire swashbuckling polit ical gymnastics), has a past hardly so glorious. Both are sowers of the seeds of disunity among the people. Both are discredited prognosticators of things to come. The Colonel, vis iting Russia at a critical time in Anglo-France relations to Germany, warned Britain that the Russian air force was hopeless. After France fell, he warned America that Britain would go down in two or three weeks. (See any cur rent newspaper on what the Rus sian air fleet can do.) And Bob, just a few days be fore Hitler invaded Poland, was proclaiming in eastern North Caro lina in his windiest style: There isn't eoine to be any war, and don't let anybody fool you." Why does this minority Senator from North Carolina feel free to advertise us thus by taking it on himself to invite Lindbergh to ad dress "my people"? Well, that is just your Bob, if you happen to belong to the shilly-shallying, in vertebrate minority which today in America resembles the leaders and followers who finally wrecked and almost destroyed great France. Letters to Editor ceased. The horizon of peace must not be blurred by the close up horizon of the present world situation. All roads leading toward the horizon of war have always been paved with fear, greed, jealousy, super stition, personal ambition, hatred anf lack of consideration of oth ers. The road leading toward the horizon of peace must be paved with tolerance, fairness and jus tice to all, regardless of race, creed or color; justice to the minority countries and to the minorities within countries; it must make ac cessible the natural resources, food and clothing of the world to all nations, small and large, on the same fair basis. Aiier me war we must De as liberal in spending the necessary money to maintain peace by cor recting the economic inequalities, as we are willing to spend money to prosecute the war. The keystone of the' arch which we must pass through on the road leading to the horizon of peace must be the golden rule: "What soever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." ' The horizon of which I am speaking is one which the younger men and women of the world are seeking, because their vision causes them to realize the great equity that they have in the world, rep resented by all the years in fropt ot them that the older people have behind them. They need the guid ance and advice of all who can ex tend their horizons far enough to .I. i . . . . mime ana woric tor the realization of the ideal m which all human beings are entitled to participate. The world needs a group of young and old who have the same far-sighted, uplifting horizon and who are willing to stand out in front, regardlesi of precedent, and say to the world' these things can be done.
