FROM ANY VIEWPOINT
Regardless of the viewpoint from which
oaa approaches the struggle between capital
and kbor; whether one looks across the
fence, which separates the two, from the la
borers* world of poor wages, irregular work
and unpleasant working conditions, or from
the employers’ world of poor markets, high
operating costs and heavy responsibilities, if
he be a thoughtful man, he will pause for a
jninutoAo consider the accusations lodged, by
workers, against Max Greenstein, operator
ef the Kinston Shirt Company.
Eigh| witnesses, all of them girls or
women and one under 16, testified they
worked inithe sewing rooms anywhere from
S5 to 69 hours a week, working from early
morning until after 9 o’clock at night, and
famed wages of eight or ten cents an hour.
Their total weekly wage, provided they work
ed over-time and on Sunday, amounted to
around $6 or $6 a week.
To comment on such working conditions
would be waste of words. It is to be hoped
that such a system is now the exception, not
the rule. However, as long as even a few
such employers remain, we shall favor some
labor l#$iKtion for the control of industrial
ists who refuse to be controlled by principles
of humanity and fairness.
ADVERTISING THE STATE
Fc^krauuLJALjdoey’s committal to the
idea efTquSTtaFnf a million dollar adver
tising fund with which to present the State
favorably to the tourist trade, there was held
in Raleigh a few days ago a meeting of news
paper and advertising men who have offered
theft* co-operation with the State in its en
deavor.
It was pointed out that the tourist trade
in the Western section of the state alone
amounted to fifteen million dollars this
year. With the Smoky Mountain Park ad
vancing as a vacation land, this trade can be
doubled or tripled with the proper form of
advertising.
The sandhill section and the coastal
region also have appeal to the tourist. It
goea without saying that with thousands of
motorists passing through the State on their
annual pilgrimage, shifting their places of
abode with the seasons, some can be induced
to abide for a time in North Carolina. Tour
ist money trickles into every branch of trade
and therefore serves to stimulate business
generally.
Mr. Hoey will-do the State a service of
inestimable value when he sees to it that the
tournet trade is encouraged.
TALKING OF PAYING
Any question that Europe is in desper
ate frame of mind should be dispelled by an
nouncement yesterday that the French
chamber of deputies will bring up for con
sideration the payment of war debts to Am
eriea.
European nations, with the single ex
ception of Finland, had long since made up
their minds to let the war debts question die
a natural death, and France’s decision to at
least talk about them is an indication that
the canny French would like to be in position
to borrow again. Fearful of the future and
greatly wanting Am )rican friendship today,
France is taking an entirely different atti
tude from that of the immediate post-war
years when, victory won, she plainly inti
mated she feared nobody and therefore in
debtedness, defaulted or otherwise, bother
ed her not one bit.
Nor was France alone in this attitude.
The story goes that in the post war loaning,
separate and apart from loans made during
the war. England borrowed from America at
five per cent, loaned the same money to
Germany at 10 per cent, which in turn loan
ed it to Russia at»15 per cent. Russia kept
it but nobody o£her than American invest
ors actually losrbn the principal.
SCHOOLS ON STRIKE
Whatever else we have today we have
strikes in plenty. The industrial strike, the
lever with which labor prys concessions in
improved working conditions and wages out
of employers, has been a commonplace. We
have come to accept these strikes in indus
try as necessary to the adjustment of the
differences between capital and labor, for
ever in a state of change.
^However, the strike which still hits us
is the
school strike, the weapon with which student
bodies force concessions from authorities on
school conditions, school rules, and even dis
missals of students or teachers. It is inter
esting, too, to note that striking student
bodies pretty often get results.
This week in Hyde Park students went
in strike against teacher’s orders to write a
certain sentence 1,000 times, with the result
that school heads ruled in their favor against
such antiquated methods of punishment.
At the North Carolina Agriculture and
Technical college for negroes at Greensboro
students are on strike, supposedly against
food served in the college dining room, but
apparently there are also deeper causes for
the strike and student bodies and authorities
ire deadlocked. ,
These are only two instances of the
widespread occurence, of strikes in schools
and we nreaume the reason lies in the fact
that the youngsters who came up under the
anti-repression regime are, in the last few
years, coming to the age to assert themselv
es, and realizing their power, plan to make
their elders step about.
What Other Papers Say
PUNISHING CHAIN STOKKg
(Hie New York Time*)
One minor but significant election result was the
defeat in the California referendum of the Hcense
tax on chain stores running up to $800 a unit. This
was clearly a punitive and not a revenue-raising tax,
as it applies to the chains alone and not to their
competitors. The California Chain Store Association
therefore decided to take advantage of the 8tate's
referendum statute to secure a sufficient number of
signatures to put the question directly up to the
voters. It is Instructive to notice that the voters not
mly favored the repeal of the tax but that the larg
est majorities in favor of repeal came from the
rural districts. It is true that this rural support ap
pears to have been secured in part by the co-opera
tion of the chains in making their facilities available
lor the marketing of surplus crops, but the result is
none the less impressive in view of the argument
that the small towns especially resent chains because
they injure the local merchants and are managed by
'outsiders."
This appears to be the first time that this par
ticular question has been submitted to a direct popu
lar State-wide vote. The result does not prove that
the voters lack sympathy with the problems of the
small independent storekeepers, but it does indicate
that the majority of them are aware of their gains
is consumers’ tjhfpugh the economies that the chains
have made possible. If the independents, by progress
ive storekeeping or co-operative buying, can compete
more successfully with the chains, the California vot
ers will doubtless give every support to their efforts;
but those voters know that a punitive tax on chain
stores will either driy* such gtfgec on$ of business or
force them to raise their prices to pag it, and in
either case consumers must suffer.
The legislators of some twenty states which now
impose special taxes on chain stores should study the
implications of this California referendum carefully.
They should ask themselves whether they have not!
been deceived by the agitation of organisations rep
resenting small storekeepers into believing that the
opposition to chain stores is much wider than it
really is. The referendum, also, encourages the hope
that the ill-advised Patman-Robinaon act, rushed :
through with no adequate debate in the final days of'
the last session of Congress, win be sharply revised '
or repealed.

Nobody’s Business
— By GEE McGEE __
HOW I LOST MY FOUR FRIENDS
—- The average man has so few friends, It's a pity
that he must deal with them occasionally and run
the risk of lasing them. A real friend is the fellow
who owes you an honest debt and is always glad to
see you even tho he can’t pay you.
-Slim Wilkins and I were schoolmates; both raised
n the same pine thicket; went in a-washing togeth
er for years; hunted lizards and streakfields during
viper seasons; but I endorsed a note for him and had
to pay it about 25 years ago, and he’s still cussing me
rbout something.
-1 have lost friends at a coat of 50 cents to 5500.
Jule Hallworth stayed out of my retail store for 5
rears because he owed me 36 cents. I managed to
slip up on him one night in the dark and tell him
;hat he was mistaken; he didn’t owe me a cent.
Mter that, he traded some with me on cash terms.
-1 loaned Zack Jinkinson 76 cents to finish paying
for a bottle of medicine for his wife in MU. He
never spoke to me again till w mad dog bit Mm in
1928. I could never get close enough to him to provo
to him that I wasn’t thinking about 75 cents ... till
1 went over to his house to find out how the dag was
getting along. It died; Zack got well.
-A human being is indeed a peculiar aigmal. He's
;he only varmint in the world that was created ab
solutely without instinct. I have credited men that
wouldn't pay me; after the debt got so old it became
out of date. I'd turn right around and credit the guy
again. If I had been possessed of instinct, I would
have made him pay cash or else, mostly else.
....Were it not for money matters, this old globe of
>urs would be over-running with friendship and
brotherly love. You can trace nearly every neighbor
hood or community row to gossip caused by some
body owing somebody else a dolar or two whe refus
ed to pay it. Of course .school fusses and church'
quarrels lead everywhere, but dollars and cents come
at least, third in producing mental and physical dis-1
turbances.

(Associated Press stair Writer!
WASHINGTON.—Eight or more
years ago voices from the govern
ment, from banks and from finan
cial exchanges were triumphantly!
shouting that the
boom was not
really a boom but
was the normal
American way.
Then in 1929 came
the crash.
President Roose
velt announced
recently that he
had ordered a
study of the effect
seven billion dol
lars of foreign
money mi^ t have
upon American MISTON L CROVff
exchange if suddenly withdrawn,
some suspected he simply was tak
ing a course different from 1929 and
earlier. That he was cautioning, not
whooping it up.
The obvious suggestion was that
if seven billion dollars of American
securities owned by foreigners were
dumped suddenly upon the Amer
ican market, it might play havoc.
Reason A Question
What did the market do? It rag
ged the day after the announcement,
and promptly recovered after a
week-end of thinking it over. But
on the day of the market recovery,
Secretary Morgenthau again point
ed a finger at the same situation.
There was conflicting opinion in
Washington as to the seriousness
of the situation. Why the sudden
excitement? The same situation
with regard to foreign-owned se
curities existed several months ago
when the federal reserve board put
a slight brake on market possibili
ties by increasing bank reserve re
quirements. Is there in sight now
a reason for foreign investors sud
denly pulling their money out of the
American market?
Many do not think so. The presi
dent did not say so. Those who look
ed askance at European war possi
bilities suggested an outbreak of
*ar might, for a time, even increase
the flight of investments to the
Otoited States. Ultimately, it was
generally agreed, a European war
would force a liquidation of for
eign accounts to raise money to
buy munitions here.
One suave official said it appear-,
ed to him that besides the •‘scared"!
money rushing over here from trou
bled Europe, a wad of ‘smart’,
money had coma to profit on the |
U. s. industrial rise. For every dol-'
lar at foreign money put in here!
during 1934 and 1935, two dollars
now could be taken out because of ■
the rise in American security val-;
ties.

Campbell Seeks
Car Speeds Up
To 350 M. P. R ;
LONDON.—"As easy as falling off c
That is what Sir Malcolm Camp- 1
bell, world land speed record hold- 1
er, really thinks of driving at more c
than 300 miles an hour, as expressed
to an interviewer.
And that is what he thinks, too, t
of the chances of Capt. George Eys- 1
ton, former holder of a dozen long- e
distance land, speed records, In an 1
attempt he Is to make to achieve a
speed of 350 miles an hour.
Captain Eyston's intention is to I
take a new car of his own design
to Bonnerville salt flats in Utah
and put Sir Malcolm’s record up by
as many miles per hour as possible.
Sir Malcolm, for many years ac
knowledged king of land speedsters,
has retired. His great ambition was
to drive at over 300 m.ph. In Sep
tember, 1035, he achieved this am
bition. Now his place is vacant and 1
Captain Eyston is making a bid to
fill it for Britain^
“At the moment,” Captain Eys- '
ton told the interviewer, “I can
not give details of my new car.”
“I don’t think George will have
any troiible putting up my record,”
Sir Malcolm said in answer to a
question. “It’s as easy as falling off
a log. Why if I’d really wanted to
I could have taken Blue Bird up to I
320 or 380 m.p.h. ought to be pos- I
sible. I
“If George does it I’ll be the first
to congratulate him. I sincerely hope
he does.”
"Anyway,” Sir Malcolm added,
“I’ve retired now. There’s no ques
tion of my trying again whoever
beats my record. But I hope it’s
Captain Eyston.”
