Jurist Addresses
Joint Session Of
Rotary, Kiwanis
Judge Allen H. Gwyn of Reidsville
was the guest speaker at a combined
meeting of the Kiwanis and Rotary
Clubs here last Tuesday: Judge Gwyn
was introduced by Dan H. Jones who
informed the assembled members and
guests that Judge Gwyn has been a
superior court Judge sinee 1938 and
prior to that time served as solicitor
and state senator having been admit
ted to the bar in 1921 after graduat
ing from Trinity College where he had
resumed his education after serving
in the first World War.
The principal speaker, candidate for
associate of State Supreme Court,
took as his subject The Grass Roots
of Democracy and after enumerating
the traditional freedoms stated that
the freedom that gave us the most
concern was the freedom from want
and pointed out that different sy
stems of government have different
ways of overcoming this difficulty.
One solution being-that of collective
security through state control of the
means of production and regimenta
tion of workers.
The other and more democratic sy
stem left the solution of this problem
principally to the individual citizen
giving each citizen the freedom of
owning the means of production and
of seeking employment where he feels
best qualified to serve.
Whil Americans naturally and nor
mally ' prefer individual self-help to
collective security there is a drift
toward collective security when indi
vidual- self-help fails. Government
aid means government control and
consequently a lessened area of indi
vidual liberty and the more aid the
less liberty so that complete security
guaranteed by government mean#
complete government control and the
elimination of all individual liberties.
Explaining the trend toward sta
tism, Judge Gwyn asserted that the
exploitation of human resources tends
to turn persons exploited toward col
lective action and that the present
need is for leadership to encourage
the increase of property owners by en
couraging home ownership and sav
ings as well as the increase in in
dividual business enterprises thus in
creasing the number of capitalists
and thereby perpetuating and stren
gthening the system of free capita
listic enterprise.
The achievements of the capitalis
tic system within a framework of
freedom for all is Boihething of which
we can be proud and that this system
must be saved because it is the only
hope of free people on this earth.
There is not and cannot be any act
ual and exact economic equality be
cause the capacities and gifts of each
individual for productive work and
the acquisition of wealth are differ
ent both in degree and kind. The
whip of economic necessity is neces
sary to drive many individuals to pro
ductive endeavors but there is dang
er when the individual is not reward
ed to a degree commensurate with
his contribution to society because
such persons are’ drawn toward gov
ernment Control or statism.
Neither the capitalistic system nor
any other can long survive, stated
Judge Gwyri, unles it recreates its
own kind to perpetuate the system
and the safety and the best interests
of capitalisti c democracy demand
that the number of properly owners
'and individuals, with an investment
in business enterprises, be continual
ly and substantially increased for
otherwise the property-less and the
irresponsible by sher weight of mem
bers will force a continued trend to
ward government control and even
tually dictatorship.
Jesse Moye, president of the Rotary
dub, presided over the joint meet
ing, the second the Clubs have had
recently. In the first, William B.
Umstead was the visiting speaker, On
lietx Monday night, the dubs will have
another joint session. The guest will
be Hubert Olive, TJmstead’s opponent
in the current gubernatorial contest.
Roddie Ward of Wilson, Marvin
Horton, Horton Rountree and Harold
Rouse were among the guests.
