THE GLEANER GRAHAM. N. 0.. MAR. 20, 1941 U6CK0 KVEBT THL'BIDAT J. D.KERNODLE, Editor 11.00 A YEAR^ IN ADVANCE Entered at ?tit Poetoffloe at Graham. N. C., at. sei-ood-claM matter. Settling Strikes fDr. Frank P. Graham, presi dent of the University of North Carolina is named on a 11-man board, to be known as thel Nat ional Defense Mediation Board. Hie office of the board will be to aid in the settlement of labor disputes which threaten the pro gress of national defense produc tion. The board is composed of three j disinterested persons, who re-| present the public, four repre sentatives of industry, and four representatives of labor. The board is headed by Dr. Clarence A. Dykstra, president of the University of Wisconsin. The duties of the board are defined. It is not impowered to end strikes or labor controver sies, but recommend and make public its findings. Labor and industry are on an equal footing in the board, so 8 neither can complain of any dis advantage. The public has a vital interest iin the outcome of strikes, and is represented by three disinterest ed persons. Especially is this true at this time, when the coun try is preparing itself to take care of its destinies against the elements apparently bent on the destruction of everything gained through a higher civilization. Somewhere there is a happy medium, a point where labor can be adequately compensated and and the capital invested in indus try saved from destruction. But as long as human nature contin ues to be what it is, it is not sur prising when an opportunity is afforded, that capital will try to take advantage of labor or vice versa. Taking advantage is as reprehensible in one as the other. Employer and employe are na turally dependent ?neither can thrive without the other. President Roosevelt left Wash ington Wednesday afternoon for Florida. He will cruise for ten days in southern waters. A seven billion appropriation has been asked for for national defense and to help Britain win the war. The house has passed it by overwhelming odds and the senate will do likewise. Hie German raids on London have been more furious than ever the past few days. England is striking back with increasing ef fect as help from America reach es her. Hitler realises that if he wins he must do it before the full stream of American munitions reaches Britain. ? The Legislature closed its ses sion Saturday night. It lasted 68 days. Not all that many hoped for was accomplished and never is. It would be a miracle if all the laws passed turned out to be good, helpful and beneficial as represented. It is not now, but later, realized the full import of what was done. Each coming leg islature is ever mending and do ing over the mistakes of its pre decessor, and it will be that way as long as there are legislatures. m~m The Bigger Government Thousands of new Govern ment employes have been added to the nils in the National Capi tal. During a recent snow storm the traffic in Washington was tied up for several hours, mostly due to too much political-popu lation. Bi( Business The United States mail is the big gest business in the world. One of its items is a fleet of S.100 trucks. FROM WASHINGTON "Where Are We AT?" By J. K. Jonea Washington, D. C., March 18th ?When President Roosevelt made that Chicago speech in October, 1937, and suggested a ^quarantine on European dicta tor", the people of qur country accused him of being too war minded. Later on Congress pass ed an "embargo" law that soon lost public favor; and inasmuch as new laws were gaining popu larity the United States became allegedly "neutral" ? even though popular hate ? Had pro duced millions of cases of high blood presure. Now. the finishing touches have been applied to a program that boosts the national debt limit to $65 billion?and going on up; besides $10 billion in loans and leases that will eventually fall on American tax payers. To which must be added the plain fact that we are out to help whip the Axis, and if they don't like it because we are on the side of the British?well, what are they going to do about it? From the American stand point, Germany, Italy, and Japan are told to "take it or lump it." There is genuine fear in Wash ington that it may become neces sary for our military forces to meet those of Gemany, again, as we did in 1918, when the English and the French couldn't win their own war. Do All People Think Alike? A United States Senator who voted against the lease-lend bill afterwards declared that inas much as it had become a law that 'It must be accepted by all people as the law of the land." He spoke of the great problems confronting this country and made it clear that he had not joined the forces of those who are "thinking all alike," because he believes that "regardless of whether we believe in this meas ure or not all of us must now unite to do everything in our power to see that it is adminis tered sanely and with the least possible danger to this country." Many other statesmen on Cap itol Hill have expressed what amounts to practically the same thing. And laymen will no doubt continue to register similar be liefs. Safety And National Defense j A good automobile driver j knows he must drive much more carefully when he is flashing along at 60 miles an hour than when cruising at 80. Not only are there more opportunities for accidents at the higher speed but the accidents themselves are likely to be more serious. Much the same thing is true of our national economy. Those in the driver's seat know that as we step up our speed on produc tion for national defense the pro blem of plant safety assumes ever greater importance. Fortunately, industry is well prepared to cope with this prob lem. General Motors, for ex ample, which is one of the coun ty's largest producers of defense materials and equipment, reports an 8 per cent improvement in safety for 1940 as against 1989. This is the sixth consecutive yearly decrease in lost-time acci dents reported by this organi zation's 89 plants and service units. Emphasizing the importance of phuit safety to the national defense program, B. D. Kunkle, Vice President in charge of per sonnel, points out that the prob lem presents a new challenge to everyone in General Motors and adds: "The induction of new employes and the transfer of other employes to new jobs made necessary by defense orders will require additional emphasis upon education aa well as con- ^ stant alertness on the part of everyone in our plants." Mr. Kunkle obviously speaks for all industry. We can rest assured that the men behind the wheel of national defense will continue to remember to "drive with care." I ?? I Bullitt Talks "Attitudes" William C. Bullitt was the United States Ambassador to France and lived in Paris foe .many years and stuck loyally to I his poet through the troubled times when the Germans defeat led France. He ought to know .what he is talking about. "I think it is of the utmost iimportance that we draw a lesson from France and get into production at the same speed as if we were at war... There are certain analogies between the situation" he told a committee of congress, as he compared the conditions in France leading up to its downfall, and the situation in the United States. Bullitt said I the fall of France "was the case of a country not waking up to | the fact that wars are won be fore they start." He stated his belief that "the real tragedy was | that France did not really feel i herself in danger until after the Geqnans actually cracked the iMaginot Line." Congress knows that whatBul litt says is pretty likely to be what President Roosevelt thinks. Before the election, and since, Bullitt has stated in his own blunt language, his matured opinions and convictions, and Washington is convinced that when he exceeds the speed limits that he is in fact merely adding emphasis to the underlying views of the President. There fore, Bullitts-are-bullets when Bullitt compares French and American attitudes. Boiled down to a few words: President Roosevelt and Mr. Bul litt seem to be absolutely certain that there is trouble ahead, and therefore the United States must be ready to go to war. A Warning To Europe The Senate hardly had time enough to shake off its head aches after passing the aid to Britain bill before it adopted unanimously a resolution to im plement the Monroe Doctrine, by serving notice on European powers that the United States will not recognize transfer of any Hemisphere possession from one non-American power to an other. A similar resolution was under consideration last June but it was not approved by the Senate. The United States Gov ernment, through the voice of the Administration and Con gress have taken actions that are so definite that they actual ly constitute a challenge to Ger many, Italy and Japan. In effect the 4-power folks must keep off our Hemisphere, unless they are looking for war with the United States. That's the plain warning that has been served and re served, on the Axis. Business Is Better It is a fact that there is gen eral improvement in business throughout the United States, Big claims are made in Washing ton regarding business condi tions. Hie unlimited spending of money by the American Govern ment under the name of defense is helping lots of manufactur ers, industries and business men, hundreds of thousands of people and it is giving employment to who have been out of work. Agriculture is almost certain to experience a temporary period of prosperity, like that of the last War, when wheat and pro duce soared sky-high. Many far-sighted statesmen in the Capital are wondering ? what will happen after the ex isting boom when the present wars are over. That seems to be i I m a matter that should receive careful thought and attention from all cit'sjnt, in view of the fact that t!.e Unltsd Slates has never been the some since I he last war. Intel:ipent pessimists look for a bigrarer and birader depression next time.
