Eating Borah and Lodge Desert Possibly because Borah and Lodge led the fight and kept the United States out of the lea gue of nations, the world is again facing anoth er conflict, the bounds of which few of us can imagine. The cause for the "next" war is traceable to the refusal of the United States to support Woodrow Wilson's League of Nations two de cades ago. After spending billions of dollars and losing many human lives, we withdrew from thesecne, and helped to apply eeonem+e pressure to a defeated nation. At the same time we stood idly by while Germany rearmed. How much better it would have been had the nations of the world recognized and aided Ger many to re-enter the world of commerce and at the same time kept guns and ammunitions out of her hands. That's past history. How will the next post-war period be handled, assuming Germany is whipped? There has been endless confusion and hu manity has eaten at poverty's table, but now it looks as if there'll be another world war for desert, and since it was cooked up after a Bor ah-Lodge recipe we might as well call it scram bled-all a la B and L. Scared Money The industrial magnates and the financiers are still after a guaranteed futurefor their ac tivities. They want the government to assure them that a dollar invested by them will return six, eight, ten or more per cent. They want to be tax exempt. They want the other fellow to feed the hungry and care for the weak. In short, they want the world with a fence around it and a guarantee that the fence will be re paired from time to time. Unless the govern ment does their bidding, they will let the banks budge with money. If those boys would study the uncertainties surrounding the farmer's activities, they would nation would follow the policies of the finan ciers, there wouldn't be~ a stalk of tabacco, a crop of cotton or a vegetable planted this year. Not at all certain about the weather conditions, beset by insects and pests, strangled and chok ed by high interest rates or time prices, mort gages and liens, the farmer offers everything as collateral and starts out in the spring to gam ble on another crop. His children are often de nied the opportunity offered by the community school. His wife's duties are extended to the NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of the pow er of sale contained in a certain Deed of Truat executed by S. R.

HORTON, MARTIN, OS-41 field in those months when the sun bears down in all its fury. And then he drags to market to accept whatever price the market will offer. Industrial investors have no such gamble before them; yet, they sit back and howl about what the government should do and should not do before they advance a corroded copper to give the unemployed something to do or feed the hungry. Reason For Adjournment Delay "It's a sad commentary, but there isn't enough leadership in the legislature to bring about adjournment of that body," a county cit izen remarked a few days ago. There's leadership aplenty in Raleigh, but, as usual, that leadership is removed from the peo ple and their interests. There are champions of the people, to be sure, and there are champions of democracy, but those champions are merely butting their heads against concrete walls when they try to reform corrupted election laws, promote the general health, invest in the youth in the publis school and in the college. To date, the legislature has succeeded in holding fast the State's tax hand in the pockets of the poor, and has done nothing to better the-, services to the taxpayer in return. There's been too much law-making and not enough representation in the current session of the legislature to earn the lawmakers u niche in the hall of fame as set up in the eyes and minds of the people. Accurately Measured A Farm Bureau speaker recently said that the consideration any group receives is deter mined by the voting power of that group. Un organized farmers have paid taxes on seeds, feeds and fertilizers and sat back while the pol iticians in Raleigh dictated where the money was to be spent. The Farm Bureau is now en tering into the picture, and if the present leg islature does not provide a peanut test farm and place other state test farms under the agri cultural college, the organization is expected to enter in a big way into the next elections. A county meeting of the farm organization a few days ago is recognized as the first show of organized strength advanced by Martin County farmers with the possible exception of the time the farmers signed for a tobacco holi day about six years ago. But as due of the speakers said at the meeting, the consideration the farmers hope to receive will, be measured by the voting power of the organized group. 11 every farmer in Martin County were to join the organization and maintain it year in ami year out, and others in other counties do the same thing, there would be a government of a different color within a short time. No general wrecking of the present govern ?mental system?is considered,?but it is likely that a general overhauling of the policies that are age worn would take place. Manufacturing Relief Subjects ? It never fails. The fellow who criticises re lief the most is often the fellow who is manu facturing day by day more relief subjects. He will deny the worker a living wage today and deny him relief tomorrow. Relief agencies are subject to criticism, sure Most everything else is criticised and much good has followed. But until the cause creating the present relief pioblems is lumuvod. theie will be need of relief and more relief. There are too many cases in" this country where the boss turns off his help during slack times, plays the"role of a humanitarian and demands re lief for his former help, and then criticises any agency that extends the relief. Hoover advised Boy Scouts not to surrender youth activities to the government. Heck, Con gress has been making fire by friction for years.?Danbury News-Times.
