Criticism Due At Home
Failing miserably in coping with the Europ
ean debacle, England and France are being
bitterly criticised by many of our people. That
the two countries have failed to meet the sit
uation is admitted, that they are due criticism is
acknowledged.
But we in America are not free of stint, and
in directing our verbal attacks against the
struggling fellow across the water we should
remember our apparent failure in answering
the call of suffering humanity.
Loud have been our cries against recognizing
the real conditions facing humanity in lands
across the sea. We even went so far as to refuse
shipments of food and raiment to starving peo
ple. Ow-eengressmen shouted- m the legislative'
halls to the top of their voices, urging America
to close its eyes while the helpless were slaugh
tered by the tens of thousands. Now we burst
forth with criticism against England and France
for allowing Germany and Russia ttfjape fin
land. Instead of trying to help straighten out
the muddle and promote peace and commerce
among all peoples in all nations, we denied help
to the helpless, sat back in our own land and
gave Germany and Russia the stamp of ap
proval in their high and wide attack an defense
less peoples. ,

FOR COUNTY TREASURER
I take this opportunity to announce
to the Voters of Martin County my
sincere desire to again serve them as
Treasurer of Martin County. As
many of the young people may not
know, I was Treasurer of the County
-in the way distant past. I promise, if
nominated in the May Primary, and
fort to serve faithfully, ever remem
bering the very high and capable
service of past County Treasurers for
the last fifty years and more. Sin
cerely yours,
Sir?;i .4 Fe iv
' Our Bob" Reynolds, the gallivanting United
States Senator from North Carolina, is still
harping on the immigration question. Just as
Hitler is attacking defenseless people in Eu
rope. Reynolds sits in his high position and at
tacks defenseless peoples. He would go so far
as to ship thousands back to starvation and death
in their native lands, the thousands who were
brought to this country by our own Christian
business men to beat down labor prices back
yonder. He would deny places to those who. by
their own rights, can help promote the welfare
of this country and its people.
To read behind the senator prompts one to
suggest a method of swapping citizens. But it is
quite possible* that no foreign country would
accept men of high office or the great leaders
or predatory businesses that this coutnry would
like to swap.
I) hy The F irst K itrlil If ar
Hitler, pointing out the injustices of the Ver
sailles treaty, declares in a definite way that
'?Germany "dill continue to wage war, kill and
oppress other people untij her lost colonies are
restored.
Back ui 1914 Germany had her colonies. Why
did she fight then? Her claim now is possibly
JUSt an excuse for her bid for world supremacy
: for her"diTve to rule mankind in all lands. It is
true that economic conditions in Germany since
the war have not been on an even keel, and pos
sibly she deserved better than she rceived at
Versailles. But it will be recalled that economic
sailing has not been without its storms in other
lands, that many of German's victims in the last
war are still paying for the rebuilding of their
lands laid waste by the invading hordes during
four long years.
?Hitler's action against certain peoples in his
own country and those in other countries makes
him out a fiend, one not to be trusted or dealt
with lightly.
Hitler needs oil, Rumania has plenty of it,
and it is surprising that Hitler doesn't profess
to see a lot of oppressed Germans there who..
need rescuing.?Elkin Tribune.

clothes are removed for the game.
