April 13. 1937 Explains Presence of Communist Writing in the, April Forum magazine, a Brooklyn priest explains the presence of Communism, and avers that unless the church divorces itself from greed for money and power, and returns to its purpose of help ing men. it will be "touching bottom" very soon. The priest, pointing out the church's anti-Com munism campaign, accuses the church ot spreading the ism by neglecting the poor, for the whom the Communists have regard .And he pointedly recalls that Christ mingled with the poor, and asks. "Have we priests today more dignity than Christ' <>r have we just less guts than the Communists?" A grave situation faces this country today, and there was never a greater need for religion and relig ious leaders to recognize it with the humble teach ings oi the Master than "now. The power of en trenched wealth and its api?arent alignment, in too many cases, with the church, as a group, brings closr to our shores conditions that are now existing in Spain Probably the conditions are not as bad as the priest would have us believe, but the trend is in the direction described by him as follows: I recall one monastery ?. . I'visited it one night wljcn it- weekly relic devotions were in progress. Po- -f lice were trying to keep thousands of people in line ; outside the church, and inside was a bedlam, the or gan pounding away like mad: the aisles jammed with \ a jostling press of men. women, and children , banana peels and old newspapers littering the pews; the. I monks of the sanctuary running up and down along ' the railing, pressing the relics to the bodies of thous- j ands who thronged |>ast. Only sawdust in the aisles ' was needed for a circus. "I went into the sacristy after the services and saw : the monks lugging the huge money boxes and scram bling down on their knees as the money poured out of them, and I wondered if any miracles could com pensate for what they and their monastery had lost It seemed to me a vivid picture of what was going on in the church throughout the world." The Frazier-Lemke act, designed to give the mort gage-ridden farmer a breathing spell, was declared valid in revised for by the United State* Supreme Court a few days ago. It - is quite apparent that the decision was a victory for the farmer, but the delayed help came too late to save thousands of landowners whose holdings were foreclosed back yonder when a moratorium would have meant something in a large way. Possibly a strong cooperation of the three branches of government for handling the functions of a united government could have acted back in 1931, 193? and early 1933 m llir interest trf the debt ridden fllmsr and helped him stem the tide that swept so many of them out of their homes and dropped them in the streets, their hope and morale beaten to a low point The moratorium will, no doubt, benefit someone, but the land speculator holding mortgages will share the blessings created in the name of the farmer. The mortgage-breathing spell, which is hardly more than a sit-down strike in the eyes of those controlling the money strings, reminds us of the cotton market, the peanut market and nearly every market the farm er supplies. Selling time finds an indifferent market with a few exceptions, of course. Fancy wrinkles are wrinkled and the grower is all but fleeced out of his crops, the very crops that he and bis wife and their little children have labored all year long to [iroduce. For no other reason than to frighten the producer into selling, the manipulators run the mar ket up and down, and when every bale of cotton and every bag of peanuts is out of the hands of the farm er, the prices go up. Today cotton is selling for IS cents a pound, but the staple is all held in the hands of sombody besides the fellows who raised it Pea nuts are slow getting out of the hands of the farmers this season, ami the price mntiniim la flmlaalf. lail unless the market deviates from its old course, dm nuts will be selling lor five cents or morn other crop comes in. Apparently, it is all right to save the land specu lator and for the markets to follow an irregular coarse, bat any effort to effect a strong agricultural |?g~? and cnt the fanner in on same of the profits fmaa his own lahor is wrong, or is "WMsnstkatienal," sa they Mere Crumbs from the Table Far marked for iw on the main highways, bat I not needed there, J500,000 will be used far ad i a mad betterment program an the Mcoadary routes, the State Highway and Public Works Com mission ruled a few days ago The meagre sum is hardly more than crumbs fallen from the highway makers table Appealing for 515,000/XX) that they, too, might enjoy the advantages of a modern highway system, the people living on the North Carolina mud trails are handed what was left over from a table burdened with appropriations for the building of milboo-dollar bridges in the wide-open spaces along the roast land and expensive projects along the mountain peaks in the western part of the State. Th bridge and mountain-peak projects are certain. for they are hacked by the politician from Raleigh to Washington via a few sentimental spots apparently found in both sides of the State. The need of the man living on a secondary road, the importance of transporting children to and from school are second ary, and the pleas of those who would help relieve conditions experienced just a few weeks ago were laughed down by a general assembly and held almost in contempt !>y a domineering commission. That the highway system has proved disappoint ing is unquestionably proved in the large number of applications for posts on the commission to be re organiaed. .While one side believes the present nt-tp Anmm ,n iHmirzhle joh. the people from Manteo to Murphy are of the sincere opinion that those in charge of the highways have bade a miserable fail ure in handling their task these past few years. In the commission to be reorganized soon, the peo ple hope and trust they will find men who know and know in definite terms that there is more to North Carolina's road system than a north-south route a long the coast in the east and a sight-seeing trail in the mountains of the west. Is Bailey Going Pugilistic? Recent activities in Washington indicate that our Senator Josiah W. Bailey may enter the pugilistic ring any lime now, the Senator and WPA Administra tor Harry L. Hopkins narrowly avoid a match bout in a swank Washington hotel lobby a few days. Administrator Hopkins, speaking "off the record" is quoted as having said. "I may later discuss the Senator and bow he made his money." Hopkins cer tainly advanced a fighting piece for Mr. Bailey, but he did nut make the remark until Senator Bailey said, in a Senate speech, "1 read the other day that Mr. Hopkins is about to get a job at an immense salary with a great mail-order bouse. The best thing that could ha|>pen to this country would he fur him to get that job I would be glad if we were to give him 525,000 a year just for the money that we save by his going into that business." While it would be interesting, no doubt, to know just how Mr. Bailey made all his money, the public has no right to that information if the man's hold ings were accumulated in private life. But what the people have a right to know is how the Senator is earning his money now. Other than a handful of lawyers. the holders of wealth and the few conserva tives, Senator Bailey is hardly representing the peo ple who sent him to Congress. It is quite apparent that Mr Bailey is drawing money from a public fund and refining to represent the majority of people who contribute to that fund. He has trampled the trust-, placed in him by the majority, and yet continues in the high position, accepting his pay from a people against whom he has chosen, continues to choose, and quite certainly will continue to choose, to work. Enlightening, To Say the Least Thr sit-down strikes, no matter how illegal they may be. arr proving quite enlightening, and show the great need (or some agency whereby two groups, each dependent on the other, may turn (or a settlement of any differences that may exist. Illegal, certainly, but the action, by inviting severe criticism on the heads of labor, has called thr atten tion of thr public to the flagrant violations of the law by industry. The Cniled States Senate, deploring cii-down strikes recently went on to deplore the ?c tion of some industries. Industry's stand .ig.rnst the \\agnrr act was pointed out. and the aero n should have been pointed out. Big business, in many rases, has violated and ig nored thr Wagner Labor Relations Act at the direc tion of their JlOO.OOO-a-year attorneys. However, this action was not cited until very recently to the attention of the public. But what a bowl is heard when labor, victims of an uncertain economic system manned by ruthless drivers, rises up and employs measures that are not legal but yet no worse than the violations of law directly chargeable to industry. Labor has never refused to bargain when it was given a fair opportunity to bargain, and it should not be condemned too severely when it employs about the only earthly means to make itself heard in the pan eled rooms of the big entrepeneurs A Recognised Asset The Williamstoa Lions Club, just irtently organ iard. is recognised as a valuable asset to the town and the group of lending and responsible dtl ; thenar Ives together at a lime whea able h aih i hgi and cnocertrd action are accessary if this conwmmity is to rrmtiii to progress Headed by Banker D.

PERMITS MUST BE SECURED BEFORE BURNING BRUSH State Warden Urges En fonrcement of Recently Enacted Legislation Below is a letter from W C Hr Cormack. chief of state forest fire control, to H. D. Hardison, county fire warden of Martin County, in regard to the securing of permits by all parties desiring to burn their premises for planting or other pur poses. "In view of the fact that this is a new law, and that the people are not familiar with its meaning. I am asking that you enforce this law in a manner that will represent edu cation. "When you find a man who is preparing to burn brush, ditch hanks or other forest lands, you should in form him that there is a law pro hibiting his burning from April I to June 15 and from October 15 to December 1, and that it ia I for him to burning such material on his own lands. "You should then burning and inform your towennan lliat you have issued such permit, and that during such period as it is outlined in this permit, your tower man can expect a fire to occur at such designated point This will materially reduce the travel of your smokechasers in running down le gal fires. "This law has been drawn by me primarily as an educational meas ure. It will make the burners real ize a responsibility for their burn ing that they have not realized in the past, and, as brought out above, while I do not wish to work a hard ship on anyone, if a man has been warned that such a law exists once, and violates it later by failure to, secure such a permit, then law en ' forcement work should be earned] to the limit." Crotalaria Is Good Soil-Building Crop ? ; Crotalaria is gaining recognition as a soil-building crop in the sandy areas of the State, said R. L. Lov vorn, agronomist at State College This crop, he said, makes a much heavier growth than most of the commonly grown summer legumes on poor, sandy soils, and it is an ex cellent soil-builder. At the coastal plain branch ex periment station at Wiilard, he con tinued. a corn crop grown in a two year rotation with crotalaria pro duced 39.9 bushels to the acre On a nearby held where corn had been grown every year, the yield was 22.1 bushels to the acre.
