Byrd, of Vir ginia, in a talk before the North Carolina Citizens Committee, in Baleigh, startled a lot of people with his statements of facts. Here are in brief, some abstracts of his talk, which is causing so much comment. The foundation of socialism in tliis country has been well laid over the past two decades, usually in the name of temporary expedi ents to meet emergencies. But al most invariably it has been this type of legislation which opened the gate leading to the socialistic destination now looming ahead. Some of the domestic-civilian pro grams set up to meet past emer gencies have been repealed, but their objectives, with relatively few exceptions, have beerr picked up and reincarnated in other legis lation. It is in these programs that wo are chasing a. mirage of easy money in the form of deficit dollars flow ins through expanding Federal pro grams which are undermining the will of individuals, regimenting the production of agriculture and la bor, controlling the practices of business, curtailing the sovereign ty of states and destroying the self determination privileges tradition al in our local governments. Make no mistake: It is socialism Which lies at the end of this rain bow, and in this rainbow the pre dominating color is the red of 19 Federal deficits in 21 years and an other indefinite era of deficit spending which the President now proposes. With continuing unbridled defi cits inevitably will come the evils of: first, confiscatory taxation; sec ond, further increasing govern ment competition with private en terprise and business; third, fur ther usurpation of state and local prerogatives; fourth further gov ernment invasion of private privi leges; and, fifth, further disregard of constitutional processes. Continuous deficits and growing public debt, in company with these natural and inevitable by-products, are virtually synonymous with so cialism. The fact that taxes fed eral, state and localrare danger ously close to confiscatory heights is conceded by experts. But the President is proposing to increase the Federal levies, especially on (bV'SfT Feral, taxes, a) ready are discouraging investment in indus try, which is needed to expand pro duction of more of the things peo ple need Bt prices they can pay.

There is no retreat from social ism, once it is entrenched, primar ily because the state usurps not only the machinery of agricultural, people to say this country is on the road to socialism. I submit that it is an insult to our intelligence to assume that we do not realize that adoption of the President's pro gram, now before the Congress will commit us irrevocably to a social istic sta;e from which there can be no retreat. '.. If he says he is against socialism, why is he advocating the pressur mineral and industrial production, izing of Congress to adopt social- but also the sources of wealth and capital. As the British are learn ing, once these fundamentals of free enterprise are exploited by government, there is nothing left for Use by private enterprise to bail the government out of Its busi ness nilsadvenutres. It Just gets deeper into them, and that is pure socialism.

CONSOLIDATED HIDE AND METAL COMPANY I EJaclacol Helps Grocer Work Hard, Long Hours i There is plenty of hard work sand long hours in the retail gro cery business and this is especially true .for Paul Earnhardt, 816 South. Church St., in .Salisbury, N. C.vMri Earnhardt Works long ' j hours at the Earnhardt Super : j Market in Salisbury, one of the largest and most modern grocery istores in that thriving section of North Carolina. ' The grind began to tell on Mr. j Earnhardt about three months ago and he wondered for a time whether he would be able to carry on at the same rigid pace. But that was before he heard the blessed news about HADA COL. "I have been taking HADACOL for three months," said Mr. Earn- f hardt. "I was , weak, run!

After the Mr. Earnhardt , third bottle, I started gaining -, i Weight, had no gastric disturb ances, headaches or . gas pains. I never felt better and work long hours. I recommend HADACOL," 0 Mr. Earnhardt, like so many thousands of other suffering peo ple, had tried many preparations without beneficial results before he heard the wonderful news ebout HADACOL. Mr. Earnhardt puts in long, hard hours at the Earnhardt (Grocery store now but is again his usual cheerful self and when his friends comment on his im provement he advises them to give HADACOL a triaL ' Mr. Earnhardt was suffering from a lack of B Vitamins and the Minerals which HADACOL contains. HADACOL comes to you in liquid form, easily assimi lated in the blood stream so that it can go' to work right away. . i A lack of only a small amount of the B Vitamins and certain Minerals will cause digestive dis turbances . . . Your food will not Jagree jvith you '.t . You Will Suffer from heartburns, gas pains, ana your iood will sour on your stomach,, and you will not be able to eatlhe -things you like for fear of being in misery afterwards. Many people also suffer from con stipation. And while these symp toms may be the results of other causes, they are surely and cer tainly the symptoms and signs of the lack of the B Vitamins and Minerals which HADACOL con tains. And if you suffer from such a disorder, there is no known cure except the administration of the Vitamins and the Minerals which your system lacks. " HADACOL contains not only one, but 5 of the B Vitamins. HADACOL contains not only one, but 4 of the necessary Minerals. It comes to you in liquid form, easily assimilated In the blood stream so that it can go to work right away. It is easy to understand, there fore, why countless thousands have been benefited by this amaz ing tonic, HADACOL. So it mat ters not how old you are or who you are . . . it matters not where you live or if you have tried all the medicines under the sun, give this wonderful preparation, HADACOL, a trial. Don't go on suffering. Don't continue to lead a miserable life. Be fair to your self. Temporary relief Is not enough for you. Give HADACOL a trial. Accept no substitute. Insist on the genuine HADA COL. Sold at all the leading drug stores. Trial size only $1.25, but save money buy the large fam ily and hospital size only $3.50. We are so firm in our belief that HADACOL will help you that we sell HADACOL on a money back guarantee. If you don't feel perfectly satisfied after using HADACOL as directed, just re turn the empty carton and your money will be cheerfully refund ed. Nothing could be fairer, ? Ized medicine? If he is against Socialism, why Is he advocating the ' Brnnnan plan, which inevitably means socialized agriculture? This plan would not only con tribute in a huge way to the bank ruptcy of America,. but. would cre ate such chaos in the production, sale and distribution of food as to make it necessary for the govern ment to take over these functions that should remain competitive in private hands if, there is to be progress. The President and Mr, Braiman are how conducting a nationwide campaign to force the Brannan plan through Congress, notwith standing the fact that the great farm organizations, and, 1 think, most of the farmers are unalter ably and bitterly opposed to this plan. They know that it will be the end of free enterprise in agri culture. If the President is opposed to socialism, why is he advocating another extension of socialized housing, a project long ago adopted by the propagandist,;.:. Keyserlmg; the head of the President's Coun cil of Economic Advisers who, in editing books, haS collaborated with Rexford Tugwell. Earlier in the New Deal, Mr. Tugwell was the chief exponent of planned economy, which, in the end, means socialism. You can read his works and see that his predictions are now coming true. It is significant that the President's chief economic adviser is a Tugwell disciple. Tht se three ; proposals alone would n.ean socialism of your health, jour fooJ, and the roof over youf head, but this is not all. If the President is opposed to social ism, why is he constantly advocat ing an extension of the number of i those who receive government benefits? Today, there are 17 million Am ericans receiving regular monthly payments from the Federal Gov ernment, and 8 million more are on the rolls of counties, cities and states.-This 2r million, w-ilh their families; constitute a substantial part of our population. f Deficit spending is directly as sociated with socialism, because democratic freedoms and free en terprise can not be preserved in insolvency. ' In the five fiscal years President Truman has been in office the budget has been balanced twice and both of these occasions were during the COlh Congress. In 1947 there was a surplus of nearly $1 billion. In 1948 there was a surplus of $8Vi billion. For the coming year, beginning Juyl 1, he does not even go through the formality of proposing a balanced budget, with I xir without additional taxes. In fact in his Budget Message, in his Economic ReDort, and in his Tax' Message the President has advis ed Congress three times since January 1 against balancing his 1951 budget. From his record it would appear that he not only tol erates deficit spending but, in ef fect, he also recommends it. The President is now urging up on Congress the adoption of a bud get for the coming fiscal year more than $8 billion in excess of the 1948 total. He calls this a "tight budget" and says that deficit spend ing he now recommends is a ''tem porary" condition; be is resisting any reductions by Congress. In our fiscal affairs, the President is tak ing the easy course of procrastina tion waiting for an unspecified time in the future to do what he should and could do now. If the Federal budget can't be balanced in years such as this when income and employment are at or near their peak, when there are no domestic emergencies, and when the need for economic assistance abroad is supposed to be diminish .ing, when can we balance it? How long can we. pile new defi cits on a postwar debt of more than a quarter of a trillion dollars and expect democracy and free enterprise to stand the burden? Neither can exist in insolvency. Democracy and freedom here and throughout the world depend upon the preservation of our solv ency which is being jeopardized by growing debt and chronic deficits. Those who think they are bene fiting from federal payments and expanding federalized programs should take a look at England. In all that great country there are 70 Britons with net incomes of $16, 800 after taxes. The so-called well-to-do in England have already been WAYNESVILLE LODGE No. 1769 BPOE Meets Tuesday, March 28 At 8 P.M. To Elect Officers AH Visiting Elks "Welcome .

SEEKING A SOLUTION to the "royal question" in Belgium, Prime Minister Gaston Eyskens (right) and Robert Gillon, Liberal president of the Belgian Senate, confer in Pregny, Switzerland, before meeting King Leo pold. Disregarding renewed Socialist threats of a general strike, Eyskens continues to discharge routine business following the resignation of his government over Leopold's possible return from exile. (International) liquidated. But the worst of the British situation is that the liquid ation of the' middle income group has extended to an alarming de gree. There remain only 320,000 Britons with incomes of $2,800 to $5,600. If we like what we see in Eng lish socialism, we are justified in stuffing ourselves with gratuities from a paternal central government until we bankrupt the greatest na tion in all history. In time of peace and prosperity we must balance the Federal bud get and keep It in balance to make this country financially sound, i to guarantee our permanent solvency, and to provide the true democratic progress of which this country is capable. We should be concerned about the fact that in a year a whole new generation will have reached its majority under a deficit financ ed federal government, and while children have been growing up young men have been growing qld Two decades of federal handouts by a paternalistic government are bound to influence the philosophy of all of us. To change this philosophy, now so deeply rooted, may require some individual sacrifice during the period of readjustment, and it cer tainly will require complete and continuous devotion to the objec tives. I know we do not want to go the way of England and I believe that so long as we can keep this coun try financially sound the door will not be closed to recovery of the freedoms of private enterprise in democracy. We must keep constantly before I us the fact that the last hope of freedom loving people In the world hangs upon maintaining the integ rity of American money. The key to our fiscal solvency is balanced budgets in time of peace void of emergencies. Thus, balancing the federal budget and keeping it in balance is the first and vital requirement for th" preservation of our own se- surily and the security of democra cy throughout the world.
