Member of—North Carolina Press Ass’n Buy Victory Bonds Now The Victory Loan is on. To what extent have you shown your expression of grati tude for Victory and Peace? Your invest ment in Victory Bonds should tell you this. Never in history has a war of such mag nitude been waged; never has victory been so costly; but never before have so many Americans been so thankful for Victory and Peace. In this spirit of thankfulness and grati tude we should make the Victory Loan the most successful of all. When we buy Victory Bonds we can have the satisfaction of knowing that we are paying for hospital and reconditioning, care for our wounded, mustering out pay for service men and women, GI loans to help veterans establish themselves and their families in civilian life, postwar edu cation programs for boys who left school to go to war and a journey home for battle weary men. Remember, too, that in buying Victory Bonds you are not only investing in the best cause in the world, but that within themselves the bonds are the best invest ment known. BUY S VICTORY BONDS TODAY! '■ ■’ -—-0O0 A Task For Newspapers Fifty years agQthisComing Thanksgiv ing Day, J. Frank Duryea, co-inventor, de signer and builder, with his brother Char les, of America’s first gasoline automobile in 1893, won America’s first automobile race, at the “terrific” speed of seven miles per hour. The race, from Chicago to Evans ton and return, 55 miles, sponsored by the I Chicago Times-Herald, was widely covered by newspapers ifotn coast to coast. Through this race in 1895; the country’s newspapers unknowingly introduced the Motoring Age to the American public and they will doubt less cover its re-enactment this coming Thangsgiving Day in the Golden Jubilee of Motoring conducted by the Chicago Mu seum of Science and Industry, with Mr Duryea attempting to repeat his feat driv ing a car he built in 1896. Following closely upon this introduction of the Motoring Age, came the Air Age with similar fanfare and support from the press. And now, while the Motoring Age, is reaching its zenith and the Air Age is in the throes of rapid expansion, the Atomic Age has been thrust upon us by the exigen cies of modern warfare. In a recent statement, Mr. Duryea said * this of newspaper responsibility for the Motoring AgC: V“It has been America’s newspapers which have, more than any other single factor, caused the stupendous growth of motoring in this country and the great industry behind it.” Through news and editorial columps, through advertisements and comic sections, the public has been thoroughly sold from the beginning on the vast benefits of auto mobile and aerial transportation. Then what of the newspapers’ position in the Atomic Age? We feel that newspapers, not only of our country but of the world, can do a tremendous job by helping to check the overwhelming power which possession of the knowledge of atomic energy affords. Through the molding of public opinion, they can become a prime factor in develop ing the beneficial possibilitis of this amaz ing discovery. This responsibility rests upon their shoulders more heavily, perhaps, than any has rested in the past. On the other hand, by failing to shed the light of truth and to pour the force of public opinion upon surreptitious handling of atomic secrets by powerful governments and unscrupulous or misdirected scientists, the newspapers will have paved the way for the destruction of the human race. There is no reason to feel that they will fail in this, any more than they did in sponsoring the Motoring Age and the Air Age. In fact, they’ve already done a very good preliminary job with His Atomic Majesty. nOrt. Farming And Prosperity Henry Wallace, in his best-selling book “Sixty Million Jobs,” says: “Back in NRA days, Hugh Johnson and I made a series of speeches on ‘The Two Legs of Prosperi ty—Factory Payrolls and Farm Income.’ We pointed out that, when factory pay rolls dropped from 11 billion dollars in 1929, to less than 5 billion dollars in 1932, farm incomes also dropped from 11 bil lion dollars to less than 5 billion dollars. To carry this parallel further, by 1937, when factory payrolls had risen to 10 bil lion dollars, farm income had risen to 9 billion dollars.” One doesn’t question facts, but conclu sions may differ. There is, without doubt, a direct connection between factory pay rolls and farm income. It might prove in teresting, stimulating and practical to do a little investigating in an attempt to dis cover just what that connection is. Mr. Wallace draws the conclusion that farm income is necessarily dependent upon factory payroll,—that is, that factory pay roll is the determining factor in farm pros perity. There is, of course, exactly the op posite point of view, that factory payroll is dependent upon farm prosperity. In fact in Detroit, of all places, where one would think that the business men would automatically adopt the same view point as Mr. Wallace’s, the exact opposite is true. That is, business men have under taken a long-range program to do what they can to help achieve farm prosperity as a basis for national prosperity. They hold that it is important to make the distinction as to where the economic cycle starts be cause that will dictate what shall be done about it. At the Detroit Board of Com merce they maintain that national pros perity depends upon the farm because from the farm come the necessities of life, and their cost of production has long been the basis for industrial wages, which, in turn, are such a large part of final produc tion cost. Further, they understand that the bulk of industrial raw materials come from the farm and that since raw materials are the second largest cost in industrial production, this factor will again have a major bearing upon the cost of finished in dustrial goods. Finally, these manufacturers and busi ness men recognize that farm and rural purchasing power must meet the national average, if this market,—40 per cent of our total population,—is to absorb its reason able share of our goods, and provide jobs for those who produce them. The interesting part of all this is that more and more business men are coming to see this problem in the same light as the Detroit Board of Commerce rather than from the viewpoint expressed by Mr. Wal lace.
