Divided. H e tall. 4 ml M r 4 re Divided
II Mi Abe Lincoln wi re here today ho would
predict, by Int. own statement of four score
vears ago. the downfall of these United States
Today finds a country divided, a house divid
eded and the individual divided in Ins beliefs,
his actions and his outlook upon lite
It is not uncommon for a newspaper to ot
ter conflicting views in parallel columns For
instance, the New York Herald Tribune re
cently attacked the proposed conscription law
as follows "The passage of the precious Rus
sell amendment "conscripting property' is as
shabby an exhibition of playing cheap politics
with the safety and security of the United
States as can easily lie imagined." In a parallel
column, in the same issue of the same paper,
Walter Lippman said, "Nothing would more
seriously impair the regime of private prop
erty and the system of free enterprise than to
permit a recalcitrant minority among business
inen to obstruct the national defense Nor is it
ip the interest of property or of free business
01 of the conservation of the capitalist system
to tak" the position that while men-may now be
compelled to serve the country, property may
pot now be compelled to serve it "
Then there is a marked division in the Na
tional Congress At times it appears [that the
duly elected representatives of the pwple are
divided into two classes enemies and friends of
the people
Franklin Roosevelt and John Nance Garner,
at the very top of our government, are divided
Nominee Willkie and his running inatcV Mc
Nary, ale divided if their declarations are to
be acer;-: 1 their face value
V.'c are so divide,! in oui aims jt<l actions i hat
v c arc ready to sacrifice ourselves for our own
si lfish aims.
Wt have argued over defense and in our eli
vided aims have accomplished little Under such
conditions we wilt; fall in the end. and if na
tional unity cunncjf be obtained it might be
as well to quit the task and fall soul.'mind and
body into Hitler's power.
I nam minis l/i/am<i/
Nominee WiIlku was iit>t quite unanimous in
endorsing the New Deal, but those few princi
ples he did not endorse had" the support .if his
running mate. Mr McNai \ And so we find the
Republican Party fitting itself into clothing cut
and patterned after tin New Deal m its every
detail.
Mr. Willkie. if he is elected, will have a far
more difficult task in maintaining harmony
than Mr Roosevelt had before John Nance Gar
ner. the liquor-drinking and poker-playing vice
president, took a walk to Uvalde
\o Side Sliaif This I ear
Unable to form a partnership for staging a
cheap side show on the great American stage
this year, Willkie and his ageing elephant will
have to tour the by-ways and perform their
questionable tricks before those who still think
traffic across the oceans is geared to colonial
schedules.
In challenging Mr. Roosevelt to public debate
in time of stress and apparent danger, Nomi
nee Willkie places cheap politics before the
safety of this nation and its millions. But it is
an encouraging sign for the welfare of this
country when President Roosevelt says there'll
be no side show on the American stage duVing
these perilous times.
It would appear that Mr. Willkie is blind to
the dangers as he holds to the old principles
thai wealth is might and might is right. He ap
parently would place politics before the welfare
of the nation.
IT Ay Gambled
It is certain that this country is facing a threat
from Hitler and Company. That the threat will
become an actuality is to be learned sooner or
later. If we awaken from our lethargy and face
the situation, we will not gamble longer with
our plans for defense.
It is possible that millions of dollars will be
spent unnecessarily, but such spending, in the
long run. will prove far tnore conservative than
a policy that will save us money now and lose
lis out freedom and our country later
II herein II e t tiileil
Elkin Tribune.
Governor Hoev told a picnic audience in Ca
tawba County the other day that "America fail
ed God and humanity" by refusing to join the
League of Nations
That is a fact that gradually is being realized
by many who in all sincerity joined with oth
ers back yonder in opposing our entry into the
League, and who even now would avoid any
coalition with foreign powers, quoting Washing
ton on the subject of "European entangle
ments" But the realization comes too late. The
damage has been done The one solid prop that
could have held the League together as an ef
fective organization for peace, never was put
in place Certain willful minds in Congress
scuttled Woodrow Wilson's pnogramv even as
they cripple him physically when his dream of
a world at peace made possible by the machin
ery he had slaved in creating.
Membership in the League would have car
ried with it many heavy responsibilities, to be
sure But if we had joined then and if all sig
natories had lived up to the rules and the re
sponsibilities. no ambitious paper-hanger ever
would have dared to stand the world on its ear.
and small countries now under the conqueror's
heel and another singled out for destruction,
would be living peacefully today. And this na
tion would not be mortgaging everything but
its soul, in an effort to defend itself.
We refused back yonder to get into any "Eu
ropean entanglements" but what, pray, would
you call this thing we are up to our neck in
now? It may not be now. and may never be. a
European entanglement as Washington pictur
ed it .but we are paying dear for our isolation,
nevertheless. And the tragedy is that we may
have tn sacrifice not only our dollars and the
dollars of our children, but the ultimate price
may be measured in the blood of sons of those
other soldiers who fought a war io end war.
We did not keep faith with them, and mores

\azi* Ami C.uiHtalism
Charlotte Observer.
As part of Nazi Germany's program of per
secution of the Jews, orders imposing tighten
i d restrictions currently are being executed,
and these include the regulation forbidding
male emigrants to carry out of the country
more than two suits of clothing, one pair of
overalls one sweater and one overcoat.
Long ago Jews who were so fortunate as to
be able to leave Germany at all were prohibit
ed from taking money or other possessions with
them
They were robbed of their property, their
business, their employment, their homes, their
household goods, without compensation, and
were thrown upon other countries as penniless
paupers
And now the amount of clothing they may
take with them has been rigidly limited.
The Nazi regjme not only has robbed the
Jews in Germahy and other conquered lands
of their substance and rendered them penniless,
but likewise the Berlin bandits have consist
ently robbed other peoples who were so un
fortunate as to be citizens and residents of the
lands falling under Hitler's brutal power.
Wholesale robbery of the people of France is
underway, beginning with those in the highest
?brackets economically and politically.
Should Kngland fall before the onslaught of
the Hitler war machine, the same treatment
would be accorded her people, and the same
rule would be applied to the people of the Unit
ed States if ever Nazi Germany should be able
to bring this nation undci his subjugating pow
er.
And yet there are people, even in America,
who credit Nazi Germany with believing in
the capitalistic system.
Those brutal Berlin bandits believe in capi
talism just as bandits in the United States and
elsewhere for themselves but nobody else.
