PAGE FOUR EDITORIALS WHAT PRICE REGULARLY? The NEWS AND OBSERVER'S argu ments in favor of all Democrats support ing all party nominees and voting the straight Democratic ticket in the recent final election left us cold After the campaign fade by Senator- Smith for the nomination last spring, no Negro, and there are plenty of true Ne gro Democrats, ,eoul«i honorably east :i vote for Smith, The Republican nominee might not have been much better, and Smith's election was all but a foregone conclusion, hut at least the Negro voter couio withold his vote train Sfith in pro test. The argument that a party member should always vote a straight ticket ri to be expected from members of the party’s high command; millions of A £«: lean voters, and a growing number at each election, pay no heed to the exhor tation. All parties and all .candidate* in most of this country are wooing the votes of the great body of independent voters, and they are doing so more and more as that group grows irt number*. It is absurd to vote for a man who by his own declaration is opposed to the things one wishes and aspires to. The is sue Mr. Smith selected and the side he and crass trßfics he used, brands him took on those issues, plus the cynical permanently until such time as he de finitely and concretely give evidence of give him anything or accept or expect a change of heart. No Negro should ever Anything from time until such time, if ever. He preferred to base his bid for of fice on a foundation guaranteed to h rouse the opposition of Negroes and many others .Moreover he did inde fensible things in an indefensible man ner. Further, it is highly illigica! to urge port ant candidate of a party is known party regularity on voters when an on to be out of sympathy with, some basic principles of the party’s program. Mr, Smith reserves the right to differ with 4 khe party when he sees fit, and it is cer yTaiu that he will feel no obligation to support the either national party plat form nor the Administration on points which do not meet his views. If he re serve- that right, and it is his privilege, apparently, then every member of the parly has the same right to reserve his vote from the candidate. We cannot sub . scribe to the view that whoever is nom> incumbent on good party members ro nated and by whatever method, it is support him. A crook or an imbecile maj conceivably be nominated in a primary. It lias happened more than once, at least ar far as nominating crooks is corfcerned. Dees one have to vote for anyone who may be nominated in a primary in order to feel he is a good member of the party ? ■ Those regulars who are members of the inner organization may feel such an obligation, but millions of ordinary vo ter?., good party members, do riot feel dhat way, and cannot be persuaded to to do so. inevitably incomplete I he CAROLINIAN takes notice of the fact the County Medical Society has set to devise some method to see that; emer gencies requiring quick medical aid may be taken care of. The necessity of xufch action become apparent after the case of the unfortunate truck driver for whom aid was unobtainable for so long. Sus firing indescribable agony the man could get no relief*because no physician could be reached who could or would respond, and only a physician is allowed, to administer the narcotic used in such instances. ?V 4 i \ .

They are ex licensed practitioners^—the Negro phy cluded not because they are not qualified tto practise mcdecine. for they must meet the same requirements for practice as well as all other doctors. They are ex voided simply because of their color. Quite apart from the abstract consi derations involved in this fact, arid even forgetting the possible personal bene fits denied the Negro physicians by vir turn of their separation from their pro fessional colleagues (which may be con siderable > there remains the important fact that the County Medical Society re presents the organized liason between the profession apd the general public. This means that for some important, pur posees the Negro doctor is left out of the picture and the public stands to suffer thereby, under certain, circumstances. It may be answered that the Negro physicians can and do have their own the question, since for many purposes organization. This (loos not dispose- of situation, remains unofficial—-virtually a such an organization, by virtu re of the "wildcat” organization.

We do not he hew that any permanent good or net with totalitarianism. We think this is gain may be derived from compromise true even when th<- compromise would seem to strengthen the military position r-f the democracies over against the So viet empire. We thank that totalitarianism,- and that we ns a nation and the lTilted Nations should regard it as the same whether in Eastern Europe. Asia or Spain. We have seen that Russia is not and never was our friend, and if. appears that she will never be, unless her govern ment is changed by the overthrow of the Communist leaders and their philosophy. But we became allied with Russia in. World War IT not bv any deliberate choice of our own, but rather by Hitler’s decision to betray the alliance he had Kremlin. It was not even Russia’s tie established between the Axis and the (•Lion that cast her lot on our side. That T; quite a different thing from delibe rately courting FraneoH’ontrolled Spain, which from ail reports is as fascist as ev * r. No dictatorship of the kind represent ed by Franco is to he trusted any more than the Russian state was or is trust worthy. No democracy can justly ethi cally the coddling of an avowed ami - i! ernocra ti c re gi rn e. We are glad that the United Nations and the United States have not gone all the way in making up to Spain, but we think any step in that direction is one too many, ASS AS! NS In a country like the United States an assasiu or vvould-be-assasiaii of the President is obviously a screwball of one kind or another. Absolutely nothing fan be gained by killing the President, and anyone but a lunatic would see that the only certainty is that the assassin or would-be-assassin is sure to be the loser, whether he succeeds in his purpose or not. One cannot understand the mental processes of a man who would try to kill the President of the IJniteed States, no matter who he might be. In the recent attempt on the life of President Trufan, it is obvious that two irresponsible men with warped minds were used as dupes by others who might be fanatics, but who were in. sufficient control of them [selves and had retained enough pru dence, probably liberally mixed with cynicism, to push someone else into the suicide position. There is a good chance, howewer. that those behind the assasins are not so much fanatics as political op portunists of art extremely low order.

A. CHICK, NR. I'HC MEMBER SHIT ©* A < UK INTI AN CHURCH Recently I heard a white min ister speak to a Neii’o audience- I really felt sorry for the speak er. He put him-elf on the spot in his introductory remarks. He pointed out the tact that throughout trie country a, largo i.umber of beautiful and spac ious church building (Negro and white.» have recently been erect ed or are ftbw being erected. Ho thought it was good indica tion of the Spread, of the spirit of Christianity. Then he raised a question that l feared he could not follow through to its logical conclusion- And, as I thought he- would not. he did not follow the question through to its logi cal end. Speaking of church buildings be said that he thought every church building should be large enough for: ia> a praying mem bership, vbt a united member ship. to u consecrated member ship, and *a> n membership with a missionary spirit.

Inflation was boosted most by the federal government itself* in preparation for World War 11 government price and wage scales went unjustifiably high. Even the incentive need was exceeded by the war-time spiral ot buy, hire, regulate, freeze, arid allot. Only history can ten tiie true meaning of this action by our government in the total panorama of present day unrest and world economic and politi cal crisis. Tiic government, as now constituted, must act to stem the tide of inflation. Both labor and management will be offered ii the right thing is done Our national economy will descend into another depression as distressing as that beginning in 192 H unless the great referee, government, forces both man agement and labor to abide by the rules of common sense in the struggle to win dominance over our economy.
