Train C. C. Boys
We believe that this country is passing
ap a good opportunity for defense by fail
ure to provide military training in the Ci
vilian Conservation Camps.
However, we do not at tKis time concur
in the opinion expressed by some that the
camps should be converted entirely into
military training establishments. We be
lieve that the good work in forestry and
soil conservation should go forward and
at the same time the boys should be pro- [
vided at least the fundamentals of mili
tary and physical training.
A conscription bill has been passed in
order to strengthen the army and train ad
ditional numbers. The National Guard, has
been called up for a year of training.
Yet at the same time the government
has hundreds of thousands of young men
in camp under direction of officers of the
army and no military training is given
them.
While we do not suggest that the boys
in the camps who are there because of
lack of employment should be singled out
for military duty, we do not think that
they are a privileged class and that
they certainly should not escape militory
training. They are being well paid and
well cared for. We believe they owe it to
their country to receive a certain amount
of military training.
Certainly, they should receive physical
training which will make them fit subjects
for military service or for any other type
of physical work.
YADKIN FLOOD CONTROL
(Winstort-Salem Journal)
Out of the devastating floods which
wrought so much destruction in the Yad
kin River valley this summer a real bless
ing may come.
United States Army engineers are study
ing plans for a flood control system in the
valley. Major Reading Wilkinson, head
of the engineering office at Charleston, S.
C., having sent a field party into the area
to make a comprehensive report on the re
cent flood damage. Its report coupled
with that of the representative of the U.

control system for the Yadkin.
Major Wilkinson told a North Wilkes-
boro group, the other day that there arf
three feasible plans for flood control in
the valley. One would "embrace a dam for
flood control only; another a high dam
which could be used for flood control and
for the development of power. The third
plan would embrace the establishment of
a series of small dams on tributary streams
for flood control only.
These plans look toward immediate con
trol. The soil conservation and reforesta
tion program of the government also has
an appreciable part to play in flood con
trol, but it looks much further into the fu
ture.

by Major Wilkinson stfmurates^Ke' hope

National Interest First
There is disquieting talk concemin.g
“bottleneckss" in the defense program. It
is obvious that the time taken in turning
planj into production is dangerously long.
According to commentators, certain seg
ments of American industry are largely at
fault, refusing to go ahead and do their
jobs unless and until they are assured of
excessive profits, without poss bility of
loss. Just how accurate these changes are
is not known, as the whole defense drive
is enveloped in clouds of uncertainty.
These clouds must be dissipated. The
American people want to know and they
the entitled to know just what groups are
putting selfish interests ahead of the nati
onal interest. The greedy industry, no
less than the greedy labor leader or the
greedy politician, must be given short
shrift.
There is no question about the patrio
tism of many basic American . industries
which are essential to defense. BUt if
there is a purely mercenary spirit in some
industries—a spirit which thinks only of
the big money, and cares not how they
make it—^the American people will de
mand stem action.
There must be profits—no man can
build a plant without feeling that even
tually he will earn enough to pay for it.
But there is a tremendous difference be
tween profit and profiteering, even as
there is a tremendous difference between
the sincere labor leader who seeks to ob
tain for the worker a fair return for what
he does, and the labor racketeer who
seeks to exploit the industries which make
employment possible.
Industralists, labor leaders and office-
" holders who put selfish interests above na-
,ar tional interest, are going to feel the full
