(An Editorial.) i HAS WILLKIE ANNEXED WINSTON ? —BOB BOBS AGAIN. : The heavy Winston-Salem Wendell Willkie ' sentiment, which will result in a majority of 2 to i! 1 against Roosevelt in November—if we may be ilieve Mr. Marshall Kurfees—enjoys a steady jand forward-pushing champion in Mr. R. M. Hanes, President of the American Bankers As sociation and Wachovia Bank and Trust Com pany. I 1 .! While Mr. Hanes campaigns in the distant fi- 1 . nancial precincts, his co-millionaires, synthetic ;millionaires, satellites, sycophants and sybarites Keep tho Willkie boom rolling round and round in North Carolina's second city. i ! Now, listen: This is Atlantic City, and the Speaker is Mr. Robt. M. Hanes, President of the 'j American Bankers Association and the Wa-, ' jehovia Bank & Trust Co. Hear him: ,1 "This emergency of defense may well have l , with in it the stern realities which will help the! American people to APPRAISE SOBERLY some 1 .jof the POLICIES WHICH WE HAVE BEEN, ! BLINDLY FOLLOWING." ■j Overlooking the inference that we have all j been drunk as well as blind, it may be interesting; io observe, after reflection, that the President of rhe American Bankers Association and the vVa •' ehevia Bank & Trust Co., in his numerous pub lic addresses, treats considerably less of the in jtricacies of finance and economics than of gov ernmental policies at Washington. , I i j As Mr. Hanes is conceded to be vetry I unfriendly to the New Deal, this latest ebullition may easily be considered as a sequel to his Hay den Lake speech in which the Associated Press reported him as saying: i "Every citizen should guard carefully his per- 1 , sonal liberty in this time of stress. Once your l personal liberties are taken away they will' never returned. There is too much talk of war. The United States needs to work solidly' and calmly. Let us not confuse defense of our', nation with a hysteria which will sweep us need i, :]essly into SOMEONE ELSE'S WAR." ! (After Mr, Hanes' Hayden Lake statement had' been criticised, he charged the Associated Press with misquoting him.) ! Assuming that the Associated Press may be correct in its latest quotation in re the Presi dent of the American Bankers Association and, the Wachovia Bank & Trust Co., we are con-1 strained to concede to the two-fold President a measure of fine tact and conservatism in that he chose to be so unspecific in his subtle allegations) against the New Deal. It is noticed he only damned it in a general way, omitting a bill of •particulars. It was evidently safer to employ inuendo. So he averred only this: "We have i been blincfly following IT along." One naturally wonders at the dual-executive's j meaning. He was cautious. He was tactful. He chose insinuation rather than specific or di rect charge. One wonders what he meant, and everyone is confident he did not refer to the I' New Deal's activities in the early part of '331 when the posting winds echoed that dismal { plaint of a thousand financial institutions: "Save us or we perish." And the salvation came free. Neither, we opine, was it that smooth ruse that ] rescued a vast multitude of farmers with their | mortgages, or the laborers without a job, or the small business man fighting with his back to the * wall. The naked and the hungry, the barefoot 1 throng that crowded the highways and the by ways without hope or sustenance—the great in- s surance companies on the verge of bankruptcy " and the railways in the hands of receivers. None of these blessings was meant to be cen sured in the alleged "blind following" by the in- r nocent but befuddled country. . .. 1 Published Thursdays NYA Girls .
