Washington During the past
week I had the pleasant oppor
tunity of talking to the Ruritan
Club at Williamston and then go
ing to Chapel Hill and Durham
for the annual mid-winter meet
ing of the North Carolina Press
Association. Mr. Henry Dennis of
Henderson is now head of the As
sociation, following a long line of
other distinguished presidents.
I always look forward to this
meeting and the opportunity to
get the personal views of news
paper publishers, editors and their
associates, and to assimilate some
of the enthusiasm for their work
which they possess in abundance.
Capable Newsmen
One cannot escape the conclus
ion that we are blessed with very
capable people in the newspaper
field. They are not confined to
the large dailies. On the con
trary, non-dailies provide a very
accomplished group of newsmen
and news-women.
The University of North Caro
lina and Duke University provide
a very helpful and appropriate
.setting for the mid-winter meet
ings. I am impressed each year
with the quality of the program
and dissussion groups. This year’s
speaker was Congressman Brooks
Hays of Arkansas, a distinguished
statesman and religious leader.
Those of us in public life in
North Carolina owe a great deal]
to the press. They keep our ser- j
vice records exposed to public
view and help us in getting the
views of our constituents and the
needs facing our people. I am
fortunate in that the times in my
public career that editors have
disagreed with my position on a
matter our relationship has been
cordial. That is typical of North
Carolina journalism.
The rising cost of doing busi
ness has hit the large publisher as
well as the small. It is a discour-,
aging thought that the toll of
these unfortunate Circumstances
might be the death of any news
paper in our State. They are
truly a part of all of us and the
very sinew of an informed peo
ple.

Miss Beatrice Cobh of Morganton
whose life has been devoted to
the community and section she

papers as one of the best sources
of recorded history. Perhaps
there are today many newspaper
writers who do not fully appreci
ate the contribution they are
making to future generations by
carefully putting down today’s
j history factually without bias,
j leaving the editorial page as the
place for opinion and personal
convictions.

fice to tell you why I always en
i joy the opportunity to be with,
I the press of North Carolina and

! Weekly Devotional)
Column
Rv JAMES MacRBNZIE
S
For some time now the church
es of America have been sound
ing the alarm of the Communist
threat to our security. The Ro
man Catholic Church, for exam
ple, has been outspoken in its
warnings, and so has the Pro
testant American Council of
Christian Churches. Though the
danger appears to have subsided,
no one who is devoted to our
American system will underesti
mate the Communist menace.
Appearing before the House
un-American Committee recent
ly, Dr. Frederick Schwartz of.
Long Beach, California, a Baptist!
lay-preacher, director of the
Christian anti-Communist Cru
sade, and a leading authority on
basic Communist philosophy,
spoke words that should be read
and studied by every American
who loves his country. Said Dr.
Schwartz, "The ideology of com
munism is applied Godless mate
rialism. The entire philosophy of
communism is based on three
premises:
1. There is no Cod’, They are
proudly, unashamedly atheistic in
theory and practise. When they
deny God. they simultaneously
deny every virtue and every
value that originates with God.
They deny moral law. They de
ny absolute standards of truth
and righteous. An entire civiliz-
ed code of moral and ethical val
ues is destroyed, and they are
free to erect in their place new
moral and ethical standards as
the occasion demands.
2. The second premise of com
munism is that man is a material
machine. He is matter in motion, j
and nothing more. Man is a j
body, and he is completely des
cribable in terms of the laws of
chemistry and physics. Man has
no soul, no spirit, no significant
I individual value, no continuity of
life. He is entirely an evolution
ary product, the specie homo sa
piens, and subject to modifica
tion, adaptation and transforma
tion by the applied, established
laws of animal husbandry. Says
William Foster, chairman of the
American Communist Party,
"Henceforth, the evolution of hu-1
man species must be done artifi-1
dally, by the conscious action of:
man himself’.” The theory of
evolution, which is no longer ac
cepted by leading scientists-, as
it contradicts Mendel’s law, is the
basic premise on which commun
ism is built.
3. The third premise of com
munism is economic determinism.
Communism teaches that the
qualities of human intelligence,
personality, emotional and re
ligious life, merely reflect the ec
onomic environment: that in the
last analysis what we think, how
we feel, what we believe, whom
we love, whom We worship, is
simply an expression of the en
vironment in which we are rais
ed; and that since that environ
ment is primarily concerned with
economic forces, man is a deter
mined economic being.”
Next week’s column will pre
sent more of Dr. Schwartz’s testi
mony.

for tax-reduction advocates.
There are a number of mem
bers of Congress, however, who
discount the Administration’s rosy
economic predictions. To these
Congressmen, tax-cut advocates
contend their program would so
| stimulate the economy that an
| upturn would be materially has
] tened.
Mr. Eisenhower, in his annual
economic report to Congress, said
there are grounds for expecting
that in 1958 “economic growth
can be resumed without extended
interruption.”
As for the longer perspective,
he said there are “good grounds
for confidence that a vigorous
expansion of our economy can be
sustained over the years.”
Expansion of the economy is
; the basis of the Sadlak-Herlong
j bill, which would lower person
al and corporation income tax
rates to a maximum of 42% by a
series of annual reductions spread
over five years.
Cost of the legislation in lower
revenue would be only $1 billion
for the first fiscal year—and $3
billion for each of the succeeding
four years.
Since 194 G, Mr. Eisenhower’s
economic report pointed out, the
nation’s economic growth has ex
panded at an average rate of 3.5%
a year.
With economic growth forecast
for the future, many members of
Congress say that tax reduction
should be voted now to further
strengthen the economy.
Moves to cut taxes also would
receive encouragement if Con
gress cooperates with Mr. Eisen- •
hower’s effort to cut spending in
certain categories.
He has urged Congress to co
operate in reducing expenditures
on less essential military pro
grams and installations, postpon
ing some new civilian programs,
transferring some to the states,
and curtailing or eliminating oth-,
ers.
Industry long has been advo
cating retrenchment in govern
ment spending. Its recommenda
tions. in general, have been along
these lines:
1. Do not inaugurate new pro
grams in areas in appropriate for
Federal action—such as grants forj
school construction: assistance for
education beyond high school;

Needless to say, the Big Spend-1
ers already have launched a coun
ter-offensive against Mr. Eisen
hower’s economy recommenda
tions. They contend that the
welfare and do-good programs not
only must be maintained—but
must be increased—while at the
samt* time the nation is boosting
defense spending substantially.
Support for economy comes
from veteran budget pruners oh
Capitol Hill, who say that the
budget chiefs in the various gov
ernment bureaus and departments
usually put a little fat in their
spending requests—with the ex
pectation that Congress will cut
some of it off while acting on the
appropriation bills.
In the opinion of the Congres
sional economy bloc, there is no
budget that cannot be cut —and
this year is no exception.
