JULY i6, lM. - PACT THSE3 t' I nti-fv i I" f ,1 t' V f ' '4 HIMTON ' Federal Powers Increased By Distribution Of Funds ,7 Governor Edward Martin of Penn sylvania, speaking to the Governors' Conference in Oklahoma, urged the States to take care of "their -own financial burdens," asserting that by doing this "they can aid in the de centralization of the Government." There is no doubt of the truth of the Governor's statement. The cen tralisation of Government in the United States has resulted largely from the failure of State governments to provide themselves with the finan cial resources necessary to meet the TAYLOR THEATRE BDENTON, NORTJI CAROLINA We Have the Shows Today (Thursday) and Friday, July 25-26 Claudette Colbert and George Brent in "TOMORROW IS FOREVER" Saturday, July 27 Charles Starrett and Cannonball Taylor in "FRONTIER GUN LAW" Sunday, July 28 Lucille Ball and George Brent in "LOVER COME BACK" Monday and Tuesday, July 29-30 Ray Milland and Paulette Goddard in "KITTY" Wednesday, July 31 Kirby Grant in "GUN TOWN" ilso Gail Patrick in "THE MADONA'S SECRET" Coming Thursday and Friday, August 1-2 "RENEGADES" Filmed In Technicolor SERVING mm " - -' i Millions of motorists put the "U.S. Royal" name up where it is today.

It is much easier for State govern ments and their people to run to the Federal Government, which seems to have a more abundant source of reve nue,' and ask for the passage, of a na tional law, with allocation of appro priations to the respective Slates. This represents a form of painless ' taxation to the voters of the common wealth, but it inevitably adds to the power of the Federal Government. The centralization which many people decry is not due entirely to the financial resources of the Federal Government. There has grown up in the United States a widespread tend ency on the part of the people of the nation to insist upon uniformity of law. This has been coupled with a decided tendency on the part of na tional associations to project them selves into affairs which properly re late to the respective States. Among the suggestions made by Governor Martin is one whereby 'cer tain taxes can be earmarked for each level of government. We think there is considerable merit in the sug grstion but, in view of the demand for social services which many States cannot afford, it will be necessary, we believe, for the Federal Government to continue the process of distribut ing available revenue to the various sections in order to equalize economic, soc'ial and educational opportunities.

C. various enterprises, dividing the-total among the various States with pro visions and restrictions. It would be much better for local self -government and probably for the United States as a whole, if the Federal Government, whenever it has money in excess of its own legitimate activities, distri buted appropriate sums to the various States for general purposes, leaving to the State governments most of the details connected with the particular enterprises. "Four Freedoms'? Were Not Objectives Of Our Recent-Wars Our total military victory "has achieved none of the great purposes for which we were told" the war was being fought, declares Norman Thom as, veteran Socialist Mr. Thomas is interested, of course, in discrediting the "capitalistic" gov ernment of the United States but since there are others who give utter ance to thoughts very similar to that expressed by him it might be a good idea to look into it a bit. The first question that we should ask is: Why did the United States go to war? The answer to this query ought to clear the thinking of muddle headed people who have become con fused. It will not affect the think ing or the talking of those who are determined to create discontent in the hope of making political capital out of national confusion. This nation went to war solely be cause it was attacked by the Jap anese at Pearl Harbor and when it undertook to defend itself against the Japanese the German and Italian gov ernments promptly declared war. We had no choice to make; we were at tacked by the Japs and the aggres sor nations of Europe joined the ori entals immediately by declaring war. : During the war that ensued, and prior to it, in an effort to explain the underlying differences between the civilization of free people and that of the three aggressors the President of the United States, together with other allied leaders, joined in various declarations relating to what are gen erally termed the "Four Freedoms.' Not one of these was a war objec tive and there was no popular demand in the United States that we go to war for the purpose of establishing, extending or defending them in any other land. The declarations about the Fou Freedoms were valuable in that they directed attention to the fruits of Anglo-American civilization and gave the world an idea of what might be expected if the Western Democracies became all-powerful in the world as a result of the defeat of the Axis na tions. Thus, they undoubtedly served a valuable purpose in areas where Axis propaganda attempted to per suade people that an Axis victory would lead to their betterment. The "Four Freedoms7 express the underlying political philosophy of the people of the United States and should serve as a guide in relation ship with other nations, or peoples. At the same time we have never heard any responsible leader in this coun Pretent Government regulations rtntrict I1 rayon construction to km 6:60 and larger. f," I f ,1 TV , , t cor.ipnri try: suggest that the way tor attain these' goals is warfare, that the Unit-, ed states should use its power to con quer nations with different ideals or that. they can be attained by force of arm 8. The cause of our war was the ag gression of the three nations that formed an evil alliance,1 designed to give them world control. The differ ence in the civilizations of the, west ern democracies and the Axis powers, as expressed under the domination of their dictator-leaders, made a clash almost inevitable but it took a long time for the people of this country to remotely understand the nature of the peril that confronted them. Up to the day of Pearl Harbor there was doubt whether, our people had been suffici ently alarmed to assure complete sup port to a government which dared de fend this country in the absence of an overt attack by the enemy powers. the war against Germany, Italy and Japan was a war of self-defense. The defeat of these nations, and the collapse of their aggressive designs, accomplished the full purpose of our war effort. When this nation went to war there was danger that free insti tutions, as we understand them, and liberty, as we understand it, would disappear in this nation unless the enemy powers were defeated. With their defeat the peril to our civiliza tion ended. Our war effort and the, sacrince oi our fighting men were completely justified, regardless of what happened thereafter. Much has undoubtedly happened to mar the completeness of our victory. Because of squabbling among the Big Three, the demoralizing demobiliza tion of American armies and the re luctance of our people to accept the responsibilities of world leadership, which entoil onerous duties, there is danger that the threat to our civiliza tion may be only temporarily elimin ated. Even so, the war effort achiev ed its purpose and is today abundant ly justified. War Profits Investigation May Prevent Fulure Evils The suggestion has been made that Congress look into the profits made, by business enterprises out of war! contracts, not so much for the pur pose of putting anybody in jail as for j the acquisition of information upon I methods used which permitted the I making of huge profits out of the i war. After the first World War there I were nasty revelations about war profits, which helped the pacifists and isolationists in their work of propa ganda. The sentiment of the people of the nation then, as now, was to take the profits out of war. Some thing was done along the line but not enough and the Congressional investi gators want to find out what amend ments should be put into existing f "AM ur 100-Octane components used in making the world's most powerful gasoline for planes now are blended into new Sinclair Gasoline ...for your car.

Higher Uxes have tended to re duce exorbitant profits but enough has become known to create the suspicion that many operators of war plants under contracts managed to evade the payment' of taxes, or amassed such large sums as profits that they had considerable fortunes left in their pos session. Even the re-negotiation of contract prices did not end the bon anza for some war contractors. We have no objection to any busi ness making a lair profit, even in time of war, but we join with millions of Americans in protest against those who stayed at home and made a for tune, out of helping their government win the war, while other men went overseas to risk their lives, without receiving much compensation. Many of. the fighters left their businesses at home and found, upon their return, that conditions were not the same in sofar as making a living is concerned. We have seen some speculation about war profits that intimate that several large corporations have made an amazing sum out of operations largely conducted at the expense of the government. Others have oper ated without much investment, ex cept those that they made out of profits from the war operation.
