BIBLE THOUGHT
CLOTHED WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS
(Symbolized by the "Coats of Skins", Gen. 3:21)
The GARMENT in scripture is A SYMBOL OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS. In the bad ethical sense it!
symbolizes self-righteousness (See l>a. 64:6 and,
Phil 3:6-9, the best that a moral and religious man !
under the law could do). In the good ethical sense
the garment symbolizes,
"The righteousness of.God which is by faith
of Jesus Christ . . . upon all them that be
l»e»e." (Rom. 3:22).—Scofield.
* * »
"The Reliever in Christ is, by gra<;e, shrouded
under so complete and blessed a righteousness that
the law from Mt. £inai can find neither fault nor
diminution therein."—John Bunyan.
JAPAN'S NEW THREAT OVER CHINA
(BY BRUCE CATTOX)
The picture of international politics in
the Far East has undergone a considerable
change through Japan's most recent state
ment of her policy toward China.
Or, possibly, it would be more accurate
to say that while the picture remains much
the same, it has an entirely different frame.
Japan sets forth the proposition that she
holds a special responsibility to maintain
the peace in east Asia; consequently, Ja
pan has appointed herself ta see to it that
China's contacts with other powers are of
such nature that they shall not disturb
peace. -
For several years Japan has been edg
ing toward a Chinese protectorate. With
this new declaration of policy, that state
seems practically to have been reached.
Look, for instance, at the way in which
such policy can be interpreted.
A Japanese spokesman, discussing the
policy, declared at Tokio that "history
shows that technical or financial aid to
China almost inevitably becomes military
or political, in which event Japan must
object." , • .
A good many Americans are engaged in
giving technical or financial a»d to China
right now. Many American aviators are
there, for instance, selling airplanes and
teaching the Chinese how to use them.
All these activities could easily be
classed a9 the kind of aid which might be
come political; that is, they tend to unify
and strengthen China, and the zealous
statesmen at Tokio might decide at any
minute that they should be stopped.
One does not have to meditate over this
very long to see that the Far Eastern situ
ation has taken on an ominous new aspect.
The one encouraging feature is that in re
cent months the Japanese seem to have
grown desirous of getting on better terms:
with the United States.
We can only hope that that desire will
lead Tokio to moderate the application of
this far-reaching and dangerous new
policy.

NEWSPAPERS' OPINION
• 1- 0
NOT TOO MUCH; WE HAVE TOO UTTLE
About everyone not completely a fool knows
that a lot more milk could be drunk and used in
cooking in Eastern North Carolina, with benefit
to the health of growing children and also that cf
their elders.
The same condition exists in some other parte
of the country.
But in other parts of the countr^ dairymen an&
farmers with herds of cows and representatives of
government are tr>;iii'g to fetit down "milk "produc
tion" so as to gtft higher prices for milk.
The world probably can get along with less to
bacco crop:' If no tobacco at all were grown In
the United States, production in other parts of
the world would be increased in a few years to
supply all that was wanted.
But literally millions of people, perhaps hun
dreds of m3fft>ns of people, would be better off if
they had more Cotton clothing.
In one manufacturing industry after another in
this eountqr are plans to make a part of the code
the forbidd ng of opening new miTIs Or adding to
present eq lipment in existing plants—whereby
production Slight be increased. »
That's tnie in textiles, in metal trades, in lots
of things. Not so long ago a Butfington, Norjth
Carolina, hosiery mill was forced under the code
* to cut working days of its 'employes to less than
the code number of some weeks because the mill
had about 4jed up its qtttfta of production.
To lumblr'wlfe 'at* ;afr<Jt4e$! prodto&fop quota*
Yet in North Carolina and other states are peo
pie who need new shoes and socks, families which
ought to be living in houses with more rooms, fam
ilies which have not a single machine whose work
ing helps that family either make its living or get
more pleasure in life.
And so on the other hand, we have seen farmers
not getting the cost of crop production because of
what were declared the effects of over-production,
mills and factory owners going bankiupt and mill
workers thrown out of even starvation-wage work
for the same reason.
"Over development" in real estate stopped build
ing and kept more than a million men from work.
And so on.
Yet, "over development in building" left mil
lions of families in America crowded together in
a room or two to the family, in ramshackle struc
tures which can be neither well heated nor decent
ly aired.
The United States has more automobiles than
the rest of the world—and millions of people who
would like cars without any.
We need more electricity, beds, clothes, variety
in diet, medical and dental care and hospital fa
cilities, machinery to help us do our work and
equipment to make more pleasing the use of our
leisure—all things which take work to produce or
the earnings of work to pay for.
Cutting production, whether of farm or factory,
cutting working hours, sharing work already going
on, these seem to be needful to ease the road out
of depression.
But the real boost to good times, to times when
the majority of our people will live better than
ever before, will have to come differently.
The cutting plan is the near-time plan.
Longer planning will call for more production,
for giving man even greater power of production
through use of more machinery, for so organizing
that power that the average production per work
er in this country will rise from two and three
times wnat it is now to a dozen and two dozen
times as much—so that the great majority of
American families will be better off than even the
richest few thousands are today.—The Goldsboro
News-Argus.
DID you KNOW IT?
Well, well, well, so you and I and cur neighbois
of Eastern North Carolina are going to take part;
in tearing down, a slum section in Atlanta and re
building it more nicely.
You didn't know that?
It's simple. The government (federal) is going
to put the money out. It is going to put it out for
the Atlanta project of wrecking some sorry houses,
just as it proposes to put out more in other big
cities. I
The money put out by the government may!
come at the moment from borrowing. Or from de
valuation of the dollar. But, by whatever route
it comes, it finally comes from the people.
So—you and I and the rest of us are going to
pay for putting up some better houses in Atlanta.
Wonder if there is any chance to stick the rest
of the country for some better houses on Eastern
Carolina farms, for some better homes for town
renters?—Goldsboro News-Argus.
GETTING RID OF THE NRA
When President Roosevelt announced his pro
gram of economic recovery, the entire country as
sured him of loyal, whole-hearted support.
Republicans and Democrats worked shoulder to
shoulder in the endeavor to bring the nation back
to a plane of soupd business prosperhy once more.
The NRA—and scores of other alphabetical or
ganizations—were launched. All of them co-oper
ated m the gigantic task of dragging the country
out of the slough of business despondency into
which it had fallen.
No other national executive ever received such
an enthusiastic response and compliance to every
order that was issued.
The program has proved an effective one. It is
serving its purpose in splendid fashion, but that
purpose has almost been accomplished. It is this,
fact which prompts us to make the following dec
laration :
Just as soon as practicable, the NRA—and
all of its subsidiary and allied organizations—
should be disbanded. Their indefinite continu
ation threatens to be as great a menace as
their temporary existence has proved a bless
ing.
In other words, the NRA should be considered
as an artificial stimulant, and nothing else. A cup
of coffee and—at times—a drink of liquor can
prove to be a great revivifier.' BUT—if a person
keeps on drinking coffee or liquor continuously,
more or less harmful effects are bound to take
place.
There is exactly the thought we have in mind
with respect to the NRA program. It has proved
to be a wonderfully effective stimulant, but there
is danger in over-doing ijt.
Permanent prosperity can not be brought about
through continued artificial stimulation.
We want to see this country return to a pro
gram of business procedure where the individual
—and not the government—will be responsible for
the success or failure of his own particular enter
prise. The federal government has no right to
maintain a permanent attitude of paternalism over
each and evety individual business institution or
organization in this country. To insist upon such
a policy would mean absolutely stifHng and curb
ing the initiative and resourcefulness which have
been responsible' foi* out'economic progress.
At the very fiirst logical moment, steps should
be taken immediately to place the NRA upon a
shelf and keep it there until another emergency
shall arise to justify1 its return.
If the' individual business men of America are
incapable of operating their own factories, mills
or stores, then Americanism in its tfue form has
indeed reached a sorry stage.—The State.
I WO LAW VIOLATIONS AFTER REPEAL
Washington hears the astonishing statement that
about as much illicit liquor as legal liquor is being
sold in the "United States. Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthiu points out, that agents'seized 73
| stills, 84,000 gallons of liquor and 1173,000 gallons
lof mash in a wiek. Somebody has failed \ts. Oh,
I yes, th* wet Tpad#r»-^ft6v stputfy they pledged no

AN OPF.N SUNDAY
Editor, The Times-News:
While our aldermen, all of
whom I count as my personal
friends, are to be commended for
not pursuing the questionable,
not to say tricky tactics of the
powers that be in our sister city,
in rushing an "open Sunday" or
dinance .through at one sitting,
they must admit that they have
given Sabbath breakers a long
and unfair advantage by passing
on first reading an open Sunday
ordinance without giving the gen
eral public due intimation that
such a move was imminent. While
I believe that Sabbath observance
is one of the solid foundation
stones on which ouf splendid re
public is built and whose absence
would create a decided weakness
in the srtucture, I am also wed
ded to the principle that the ma
jority should rule. Hence I am
hereby suggesting to our city
governors that they hold up this
proposed ordinance till they can
learn the will of the governed.
This could be done in either of
two ways. First, it would cost
little to add a box at the pri
maries in which every voter may
vote for or against an "Open
Sunday." Second, notice could
be given that petitions for and
against an "Open Sunday" would
be given consideration and that
interested parties would be al
lowed two weeks or longer in
which to secure signatures to:
such petitions, which should be
signed only by qualified voters I
of the city, or perhaps of the j
township. Let the people have
a fair and square deal, and may
the right prevail.
Respectfully,
dr. j. s. brown, sr.
F'ditor The Times-News,
Dear Sir:
I am writing thjp as a citizen
of this community. Some of us
did not know, though we road the
paper*, that there was to be a
meeting of _ citizens. la$t week to
consider the Sunday ordinance
being enacted and did not have
the opportunity to express our
views on the matter and I for
one am using this method. I know
personally the mayor and com
missioners and think we are un
usually fortunate ty) have such a
fine body of men as our govern
ing body and am confident that
they wish to do-what the citizen
ship desires.
As to the argument that we
must follow Asheville's example
in order to compete with her in
the tourist business, do we think
of the fact that* while some
woula prefer an "open Sunday/'
there are doubtless many times
more people who come to the
mountains who are against an
"open Sunday" for themselves
and for their children? And who
thinks that anybody much would
be Hrawn here bv the inferior
tvpe„ the only tvpe of baseball
that H'^nder^onville could afford
Pr by movies on Sunday when
the-' have them si£ days in the
we«k
As to the argument that other
forms of recreation are allowed
why not let the baseball and
movie fans have tfieirs, are not
such fans as a riwe people who
enjoy the other forms of recrea
tion even as others and so are
not deprived of sufficient recrea
tion /on Sundays ?k Sorely we.
pave already r^reation abundant
on Sundays for everybody and
lovers of the two kinds in ques
tion have six of the week days to
enjoy them.
And let us not forget that
there arc other purposes of Sun
day than recreation or that rec
reation is to be found othcwise
than by amusements of one kind'
and another. One of these is rest,'
a primary design of the day. Do
we consider the need of rest on
the part of those who furnish us
our amusements? For our pleas
ure shall we add to their labor on
the day of rest?
Hut God's main design for the
day is that mail might find spirit
ual rest and recreation through
worship, our spirits or souls or
selves needing it as well as our
bodies. Unless the day of wor
ship is preserved, there will be
no worship; and without worship,
faith dies: and without faith for
life's trials, wo arc hopeless and
in despair. It is a well-known
fact that the Sabbath and re
ligion stand or fall together.
Franco tried abolishing the one
day in seven and had to restore
it' in self-defense. The infidel
Voltaire said, "I despair of de
stroying religion while millions
meet together for worship on the
first day of the week;" and he
counseled his followers to begin
doing everything possible to abol
ish the Christian Sabbath. We
helicve that such action as is be
ing contemplated is working in
that direction.
Yours sincerely,
L. T. WILDS,
Pastor of the Hendersonville
Presbyterian Church.

Davis Not To Ask
Post Of Sheriff
City Officer Loath to Op
pose Garren
W. E. Davis, night city police
man and formerly deputy sheriff,
under ex-Sheriff Ballenger, has
formally announced that he is
not in the race for the Demo
cratic nomination for sheriff of
Henderson county.
Mr. Davis said:
"In view of the recent an
nouncement in The Times-News
to the effect that I am a candi
date for the Democratic nomina
tion for sheriff of Henderson
county, I think it proper at this
time to make the following state
ment.
"I have never formally an
nounced for sheriff and the item
that appeared in The Times-News
to that effect was placed there
by my friends and without my
knowledge. I may say that I
have given serious consideration
to this matter for some time and,
at one time, had decided to be a
candidate for the office of sher
iff. I do not believe that my
health is such as to permit me to
discharge «my present duties and
to conduct a campaign for the
office. I have always considered
myself a close friend of Sheriff
Garren and would be reluctant to
oppose him in any way.
"I am grateful to those who
have offered me their support,
and while I would not attemnt to
dictate as to how any one should
vote, I highly endorse Sheriff \V.
A. Garren's candidacy, and will
appreciate any support that may
be given him for the nomina
tion/'

BEHIND THE SCENES IN
WASHINGTON
m llODNKY DUTCH 10K
.Senlrc SlnR Cwrrriiiiiindnit
ASHINGTON — One • of tin;
few inside stories yet to be
told of the dinner party made fa
mous by Dr. Wirt is-that of the
folks who were1 invited by Miss
Alice Barrows, but couldn't come.
Wirt almost met a couple of
persons'' that night whonv he
would have called "brain trust
ers" rather than "satellites." For
Miss Barrows had also asked
these four friends to nifet the
gentleman from Gary, Ind.:
Prof. M. L. Wilson, head of
'.the Subsistence Homesteads di
vision and father of the domestic
allotment plan which became the
vital part of the New Deal farm
plan.
Assistant Secretary of the In
terior Oscar L. Chapman, secre
tary of the Public Works Board
and right-hand man to Secretary
Jckes.
Itobert D. Kohn, director of
PWA's $100,000,000 housing di
vision.
Miss Josephine Roche, presi
dent of the Rocky Mountain Fuel
Co. of Colorado.
Dr. Wirt later met Wilson and
Kohn through Miss Barrows and,
when he Jieard about subsistence
homesteads, decided that pet
project of Mrs. Roosevelt's was
"communistic." .'i
WOMEN, including many femi
nists, packed the hearing and
applauded proudly as the three
of their sex accused by \Virt de
nied all and defended thermselves
against Republican attacks . . .
► Anna Dal I, Mrs. Morgcnthau, and
Mrs. Tugwell were there . . .
Democratic and Republican fom
.mittee members grinned and
mitipcu one anoincr as tney
fought a lmld partisan.; battle,
Itnt. the latter wore flabbergasted
to bear that Wirt bad come.to
Washington not knowing whom he
would name and had to send
Mrs. Wirt to Miss Harrows to get
tho names and positions o[ llil
degnrde Knccland, Mafy Taylor,
and Laurence Todd . . ; I$x
Senator Jim Reed was engaged
las Wirt's counsel by a certain
manufacturer, bead of a $."5,000,"
O0O corporation, who has been
fighting National ■ Labor Hoard
efforts to make tlic KHA collec
tive bargaining clause apply to
bis employes . , . Reed, after
the hearing, made the rcmark
ablo statement that It was "irrel
evant" whether Wirt's story was
"true of that dinner or some oth
er dinner" . . . Representative
Lehlbach, a minority cross-exam
iner, confided to Miss Taylor:
"If the party was as fatiguing as
hearing the detail about it, I cer
tainly want to extend my sympa
thy."
SECRETARY "WALLACE, who
^ quotes- the Rible, is intimate
with the philosophers of the past,
and uses the terminologies o£
science, economics, and religion
with equal exactitude, often
breaks into the more homely
forms of cpeeeh.
Ho knows and u§es the lan
guage of the farm as well as any
one. The other night In an in
formal talk he told a poker story
which betrayed at least a work
ing knowledge of that game.
And he confessed that in a re
cent argument with some con
gressmen he had wanted to
know "whether they >vere cock-,
