Laurinburg, Sept. l^-"AngusW ton McLean, former chairman of the Wat Finance corporate . manufacturer, farmer and ^ North Carolina, in an address before 200 men and women of the Scotians county Chamber of Commerce m Laurintmrg last night, declared that s. spirit of altruism in business was the greatest need of the day. I was glad when I heard that you folks had organised the Scotland county Cham ^ber%f Commerce," he said, "you have *the correct idea. The town people and the country people ought to get to gether and work together. We are S one. When I came to l^urmburg to school, a twelve-year-old bow from the country, the town boys made fun of me. 1 know now that they did not mean it, but it was a very keen hu miliation for me then, and that s the way many people feel now. It is up to you men and women of the towns to bring the people of the country into your organisations and show them that you are their friends." Mr. McLean was introduced by ex Senator Lauch Blue. Senator Blue aaid the folks are talking McLean so much for Governor that he moved we call him Governor now, so that when he goes into office he will be used to it "But we folks who live out in the sticks", said Senator Blue, "are pray ing and trusting that when he be comes engineer of the great Ship of State, he will let the machinery slow down long enough to cool off and oil the bearings and give us a chance to get our breath before he throws her into high gear/ Mr. McLean said he would not diB cuss politics. "It is not time for that yet" he said. "I would like to talk to you about whot we might call a spir it of altruism in business.

When God put the great wheat fields in the West and the cotton fields in the South and the coal mines in the North, he meant that there should be business inter course between the people. No man can iive to himself, and no section and no nation can live to itseif. The cause of our present business troubles, is the fact that we are violating this great prinicpie of good will in worid intercourse. "I was as strong for the League of Nations as anybody, but I beiieve economic conditions in Europe and the trouble between France and Ger many can be adjusted separately and apart from their political aspects. TTiere ought to be appointed, by some method, a commission of eco nomic experts to determine what Germany can pay France and what France ought to have. That could be done with our assistance and without eur intervention in European poli tics.
