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

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.

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.

COURTING SPAIN
We deplore any concessions on the
part of the United States or the United
Nations to Franco Spain. 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.

Recently I heard a white min

pointed out the tact that

Ho thought it was good indica

he- would not. he did not follow
the question through to its logi

be said that he thought every

Now l am in full accord with
the foregoing things that a

to contain. But it seems to me
that one moi-i . at h ast factor

effect if it was registered in tin:*

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
