Roy A. Palmer Tells Ro
tarians Morol Structure
Must Keep Pace
Declaring there needs to be re
newed emphasis on education ancf
character-building agencies if our
civilization Ls to harness fully the
power of post-war technological
advancement, Roy A. Palmer, pres
ident of the Charlotte Chamber of
Commerce, in an address to the
Rotary club’s Friday luncheon ciied
the challenge of' scientific pro
gress.
WIRELESS LIGHTING
A lighting engineer, Mr. Pal
mer in illuminating fashion cit
ed the advances imminently
ahead in electronics, plastics
and many other fields, showing
wireless lighting made possible
through high frequency elec
trical advancements.
He said that Americans would
grumble far more than they do
about war-time restrictions if they :
were forced to give up the scien
tific advances made only since the
last war, but he wonders if we are
going to let the easier living thus
occasioned weaken the Individual
moral structure as a nation and
cause our civilization to decay and
fall as have 21 others before it.
“We must develop sound
moral character constantly lest
history repeat itself," Mr. Pal- I
mer declared.
J. Frank Love presented the
speaker and was program chair
man for the day.
INTER-CITY MEETING
Announcement was made that
the local Rotarians would join
with the Lincoln ton and Spindale
Rotarians in a big inter-city din
ner meeting here next Friday at
7 pm. when Charles H. Stone, of
Charlotte, governor of the 188th
district clubs, will be present also.
Guests at yesterday’s meeting
included Capt. John Z. McBrayer,
James Porter, PHM 2-c, Cpl. Tom
Porter, Auddie Blapton of Char-1
lotte, Lonnie Mitchell and Howard j
Rollins.
POSTWAR
Starts On Pare One
Britain, he said, has one prin
ciple about the liberated or re
pentent satellite countries. That is
“government of the people, by the
people, for the people."
The world at large accepts Mr.
Churchill’s declaration as sincere.
It notes also that not only he but
Marshal Stalin has subscribed to
the tenents of the Atlantic char
ter which, signed or unsigned, still
stands.
However, without impugning the
personal motives of any of Eu
rope’s leading statesmen, the cold
fact is that circumstances are forc
ing the breaking up of the con
tinent into spheres of influence.
Call it power politics if you want
to, and when zones of influence
are established, then the small
countries within those zones lose
some or all of their independence, j
In the present turn-over some |
states also are losing their right
to self-determination. And the re
alignment of Europe has only j
started. The end of the war will
see zones of influence the length
and breadth of the continent.
STRESS OF WAR
Some of these changes are grow
ing directly out of the stress of
actual warfare, thereby complicat
ing attempts to apply the terms of
the Atlantic charter. That’s hap-,
pening in Poland, Yugoslavia and
Greece.
Take the case of Poland. The
Lublin Polish provisional govern
ment established itself in Warsaw
yesterday while the capital still
burned with the fires set by the
retreating Germans.
Meanwhile the rival exile Polish
government in London, which has
refused to agree to Soviet annexa
tion of eastern pre-war Poland, is
left stranded high and dry. It
helps. not one whit that both the
United States and Britain still re
cognize it, and haven’t recognized
the Lublin regime.
THE ANSWER?
Well, what's tire answer to
this? It's clear enough. By the j
time the Germans have been
evicted from Poland, the Lublin j
government likely will have all the
country organized under its rule.
In due course there will be a
plebiscite to see what sort of gov- ;
emment the people want, and who
do you think will win?
Under those circumstances
what is there the Big Three
can do, within the realms of
realism, but accept this? Like
it or not, the Lublin regime
will be an accomplished fact.
There are going to be numerous
'•Polands” before the reorganiza
tion of Europe is completed. Both
London and Moscow have invited
America’s advice in solving Eu
rope's problems, but we shall do
well to note there’s no sign that
advice from Uncle Sam or any
one else can prevent the establish
ment of spheres of influence which,
the United States believes, are
breeders of dissension.

LEGISLATORS
CONFER WITH
LOCAL PEOPLE
Senator Lee B. Weathers and
Rep. C. C. Horn, Cleveland’s rep
resentatives in the 1945 general
assembly, are spending this week
end in Shelby. This afternoon they
l were in conference with school
] teachers and other groups relative
! to legislation now pending before
the assembly.
So far, no local legislation for
Cleveland county has been intro
: duced, although a bill providing for
'■ the submission to the voters of the
1 question of a bond issue for the!
expansion of hospital facilities in
Shelby and Kings Mountain is be- j
ing prepared. The bill is being
drafted by Henry B. Edwards,
county attorney and J. R. Davis, ;
who represent a special committee I
appointed at a meeting of inter
ested citizens.
Senator Weathers and Repres

j War Mobilization Director James
; F. Byrnes the power to determine
what jobs are critical. His classi
fications would be followed by lo
cal draft boards in assigning war
workers.
FARM WORKERS
Concern over the plight of farm
workers reached the point in the
house where a group of farm state
congressmen got behind a resolu
i tion demanding that selective ser
| vice Director Lewis B. Hershey
“comply with” the present law de- j
ferring essential farm workers.
Rep. Lemke CR-ND) said local j
I draft boards are misinterpreting
a Jan. 3 selective service directive
and, as a result, are ordering the
induction of farm workers who
should be deferred.
“As a result farms are closing
down everywhere," he said. The
resolution requires that Hershey
issue a clarifying amendment to
draft boards telling them that
essential farm deferments are
still the law.
The military committee still is
confronted by one of its major
hurdles in the path of a manpow
er bill: What to do about the un
ion status of drafted workers?
NO FORCE
Some members said they would
insist that the finished bill make
it clear that no one shall be forc
ed into a union if he is assigned
to a war plant.
The senate war investigating
committee, long a critic of what
its reports have called failure to
obtain proper utilization of avail
able labor, began a tour of war
plants with a surprise visit to the
Norfolk, Va., Navy yard this week.
Senator Ferguson (R-Mich) said
he was “shocked both by the sit
uation he found there and by com
ditions which led to it."
Just what the situation was he
declined to say pending a full dis
closure to the Senate next week,
when, it was indicated elsewhere, |
Senator Kilgore (D-West Va) will
join in the attack.
Other senators said some em-,
ployes were discovered doing work
having "nothing to do with ship
building."

RALEIGH, Jan. 20.—(IP)—State
highway patrol headquarters here
instructed all patrolmen today to
resume the arrest ,of motorists ex
ceeding the 35-mile an hour speed
limit.
The general order followed by
only a few minutes formal ratifi
cation of a bill restoring to the gov

en under a 1943 act which expired
January 3. The bill revived all
proclamations issued under the act
by former Governor Broughton and
his council of state.
From January 3 until today, the
patrol made no arrests for exceed
ing the 35-mile an hour limit, but
the office of price administration
and other federal agencies still en
forced their rule against motorists
exceeding that speed.
Normally, North Carolina has a

The first disclosure of the high

REINFORCEMENTS
“There is under way at the pre

“There are at the moment a very
substantial number of men over

possibility had been foreseen and
contingent plans laid toward it,
should it occur.”
Warren Baldwin, chief censor,
said last night it had been decided

captured Warsaw (A), ravished capital of Poland, and have smashed
forward 25 miles on a 63-mile front. The black arrows indicate Red Army
drives on the eastern front (broken line), as officially announced by

Cherry Appeals For
War Production
RALEIGH. Jan. 20—UP)—Gover

effort to produce war materials
for the armed forces, especially
cotton duck.
“There is at the present time a
critical need for tents and other
items made from cotton duck,
both here and in all theatres of
American operation, particularly
in France," the governor said he
had been informed by the Army
Fourth Service commander.
“As a result of the shortage of
tents, he advises me, hundreds of

troops captured the town of Pras
zka, on the industrial-rich Silesian
frontier, climaxing a day of un
precedented developments that saw
the fall of Lodz, Poland's second
city, and Krakow, former capital.
At least 3,000,000 Red army
troops are now7 committed to pow
er drives towards German soil.
The Russians scored their greatest
gains of the war with the capture
of 2,750 towns and villages, ripping
through collapsing German lines
from the Baltic to Budapest.
In rapid-fire orders of the day
Marshal Stalin disclosed that the
’ Third White Russian army opened
i a new offensive in East Prussia
with a 27-mile breakthrough in
five days, while still another Rus
sian army plunged ahead 50 miles
in the Carpathian region in Sou
em Poland.
Early today DNB, the official
German news agency, declared that
the present Russian winter offen

There was no indication that the

In slashing to the Silesian fron

way linking the Baltic port of
Danzig with the German indus
trial area, and seized other towns

WHERE
_
Start* On Pare One
Democratic senators—Connally of
I Texas and Bailey of North Caro
1 lina—considered the evidence strong
enough to warrant a trip to the
White House, where they urged
Mr. Roosevelt not to let down the
incumbent secretary, Jesse Jones.
LENDING
1 At the least, they were reported
to have urged him, let Jones con
tinue to head the multi-billion dol
lar government lending agencies
; which have been under his direc
tion as secretary.
Now Wallace has been talked
up by ultra-new dealers as presi
dential timber ever since 1942
when he certified that "this is the
century of the common man."
If the big lending agencies were
lopped away from the commerce
department, about the only boons
he could offer the common man
would be such things as the wea
the forecast and good service in
the registration of trademarks.
Both are lacking in vote appeal.
Some prophets suggested that
maybe Wallace might become sec
retary of labor if Mrs. Perkins
concedes she’s had enough. Oth
ers thought he might do well in
Latin America as a roving ambas
sador because he speaks Spanish
and has had popular reception
' down there before.

time.
As I stand here today, having
taken the solemn oath of office in
the presence of my fellow country
men—in the presence of our God—
I know that lt is America's pur
pose that we shall not fail.
WORK TOGETHER
In the days and in the years that
are to come we shall work for a
just and durable peace as today
we work and fight for total vic
tory in war.
We can and we will achieve
such a peace.
We shall strive for perfection.
We shall not achieve it immedi
ately—but we still shall strive. We
may make mistakes—but they must
never be mistakes which result from
faintness of heart or abandon
ment of moral principle.
I remember that my old school
master said, in days that seemed
to us then to be secure and un
troubled: "Things in life will not
always run smoothly. Sometimes
we will be rising toward the
heights—then all will seem to re
verse itself and start downward.
The great fact to remember is that
the trend of civilisation itself is
forever upward; that a line drawn
; through the middle of the peaks
and valleys of the centuries al
ways has an upward trend."
CONSTITUTION
Our constitution of 1787 was not |
a perfect instrument; it is not 1
perfect yet. But it provided a firm
1 base on which all manner of men.
or all races and colors and creeds.
I could build our solid structure of
democracy.
Today in this year of war, 1945,
| we have learned lessons—at a fear
' ful cost—and' we shall profit by
| them.
We have learned that we can
not live alone, at peace; that our
own well-being is dependent on the
well-being of other nations—far
away. We have learned that we
must live as men, not as ostriches,
nor as dogs in the manger.
We have learned to be citizens of
the world, members of the human
. community.
We have learned the simple
, truth as Emerson said, that "the
only way to have a friend is to be
| one."
We can gain no lasting peace
i if we approach it with suspicion
and mistrust—and with fear. We
can gain it only if we proceed with
the understanding and confidence
and courage which flow from con
viction.
The Almighty God has blessed
our land in many ways. He has
given our people stout hearts and
strong arms with which to strike
mighty blows for freedom and
truth. He has given to our country
a faith which has become the hope
of all peoples in an anguished
world.
We pray now to Him for the
vision to see our way clearly—to see
the way that leads to a better life
for ourselves and for all our fel
low men—to the achievement of
His will to peace on earth.
