The pro - administration group cannot say much, because they need NRA jobs for their constituents Nevertheless, the anti-administration ists, who get none of the patronage and consequently can afford to find fault with it, certainly will be un pleasantly vociferous. They have a tolerably good case. I too. NRA, which has been as impotent ! as any salted mackerel since the Fed i oral Supreme Court ruled it unconsti tutional, still has approximately 2.000 folk on its payroll. It recently cut to that figure, from 2.800. Hhrn tho Supreme Court outlawed i it, announcement was made that the ■ personnel would ho skeletonized. ■ Doubtless a few workers continue to be needed, to wind up the organiza • tion’s affairs, but a force of 2.000 con stitutes a substantial skeleton. LENDS EMPLOYES Something like 280 of the 2,000 have ! actual NRA duties to attend to. An overwhelming majority of the remainder simply draw their salaries. A majority-—but not nil. NRA has been liberal in loaning members of its staff too thor Federal agencies. J<Y>r example, tho Social Security Board has no jnoney of its own. It is manned by NRA appointees, ns- I signed to it. They draw NRA pay but ; serve S>R. The Federal Trade Com mission also is considerably staffed by NRA., So are several others of I I’ncle Sam’s multiplicity of indepon- I dent off*cp- 1 . hoards and commissions. VETERANS OBJECT There injections to this ar | rangemont. A civil service veteran of many j I years’ experience resents being re i quired to work alongside a borrowed NRA youngster drawing two or three ; t times the pay that the veteran is get-| ! ting—for the youngster is paid on the 1 NRA basis; the veteran is paid on thej i old-time non-omergenev basis. The veteran has one advantage. | The veteran can he removed only for i cause. Tho youngster can be droppeo ' whenever his political pull fails him. The youngsters, however, are organ izing to put themselves on what is j known as a “merit basis’’ likewise—j without ever having proved their i [merit by competitive examination, as the veterans did. j Culture is the enjoying of things j • beautiful, rather than the knowledge [ ! cf just what is supposed to he beauti-j I ful. HENDERSON (N. C.) DAILY DTSPATCH, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20,1935 Michigan Result Has ’Em Guessing (Continued from Page One) fort from Michigan, And the Steady Democrats of this section do not find everything pleasing. It has been a poorly authenticated rumor many weeks that Townsend clubs will he organized in this State and a cam paign conducted for his S2OO a month pension to the sexagenarians. The Tar Heel loves to think this State would be deaf to such dumbness as the Townsend plan suggests. Then again, there is Dr. Ralph W. McDonald, not a Townsend man by commitment, but a fearful assailant, of the sales tax and a. rampant pro ponent of better salaries for every body. old age pensions, unemployment insurance and such other proposals as will hasten the milhjnnium. Dr. McDonald unquestionably is reaching many North Carolina people. Nobody thinks ho can delievor with or with out the sales tax. with or without the soak-tlie-rich legislation chanted all over the country, but the mood of Michigan a fairly wlel satisfied state, may he the mental state of many other commonwealths. Roosevelt De mocrats and anti-Roosevelters of all parties may find the unexpected unity right here. Undoubtedly there is abroad in the alnd a spirit which, if directed by a real rouser of the pop ulace. may prove tough for all party organizations. Anti-New Deal symp toms in New York, Maine and Penns ylvania are now found in another part of the country and for a very different reason. Gilliam Is Talked As Kerr Opponent (Continued from Page One.) talk. Mr. Dickens has run once and got encouragement enough to make the second try. If the two get into the contest with Congressman Kerr, the second will be the battleground of tho State in 1936. The story of the urge behind' Mr. Gilliam ramifies. It is the belief of his friends that Mr. Dickens could succeed him as solicitor. The judge ship of that district is now held by Judge M. V. Barnhill who lives in Rocky Mount, which is partly a Nash and partly an Edgecombe county city. Mr. Gilliam lives in Edgecombe. Should the congressional honor go to] Edgecombe after a long residence in i other counties, Halifax and Warren, the judicial district honors might spread a little, it is contended. Nash is not in the second congressional district, but Edgecombe is* in the Wil son and Nash judicial bailiwick. Mr. Gilliam, it is said, does not' care greatly for the agitation in his fcchalf. hut he is represented as quite willing to race Mr. Kerr if there is demand enough for him. He rates among the best equipped men of any age in North Carolina and his friends believe nobody could beat him in poll ing votes. By the first of the year it is expected that he will state his posi tion and indicate whether he is will ing to go through such a campaign. BEST BLOCKERS ARE CHOSEN AT N. C. STATE College Station, Raleigh, Dec. 20 —, Coaches and sports writers who saw North Carolina State’s 1930 Wolfpaek in action have selected Captain Barnes Worth, guard, and Venice Farrar, tackle, as the best blocking linemen, and Howard Bardes, right halfback, as the blocking back. This is the first year 1 in which State’s best blocking back and line men ha.ve been selected, but it will become an annual practice with suit able awards presented those selected. This year, Bardes received a suit of clothes. Worth and Farrar also re ceived wearing apparel. Rightly or not, what business lead ers think about prospects is one of the big things leading to depression or prosperity.

Four Conference ten in crowns and four individual titles, nol to mention a number of records, are among the laurels. The basketball team opened success ful firing by annexing the Conference court title. The quint won 23 out of 25 games. Captain Snooks Aitken. Captain-Elect Jim McOachren and Ivan Glace made. All-Southern and Melvin Nelson made second All-South ern . Captain Giddins won the Conference middleweight championship in boxing. The Indoor track squad won the Southern Conference title for the sec ond straight year. Harry Williamson set new records in the half mile am Treaty With Canada Is Most Significant Move (Continued from r*age One.) carded as unimportant because it constituted, say, only ten percent of our total business in 1929. 1 likon for eign trade, however, to an equitp in a business. When ten percent of the earning power of a company is des troyed, it. may turn black ink into red on that concern’t hooks and des troy the equity. That is what hap pened to United States business when our foreign trade hit the toboggan slide in 1829. Tariff Backwashes Dosing our foreign business was relatively unimportant in itself. When it went, however, it ruined business all down the line. For instance, it was one of the major reasons why the price of cotton (50 percent of which crop was exported in 1929) dropped from eighteen cents to sir cents; and why the price of wheat (20 percent of which was exported m 1929) de clined from $1.50 to $0.50. The crash in these prices cut in;n rho purchas ing power of planters and farmers. They could buy no farm tools and no new automobiles. This in turn threw people out of work in fac tories. These jobless workers could buy less food and loss clothing, thus depressing wheat and cotton prices even more. Two hundred years ago, when our economic system was relatively simple, it was easy for the Colonial planter to see that if the British merchant could not buy his tobacco, then the planter would have no money to buy linens, China, silver, and other finery from London. With today’s complicated system however, it is almost impossible to make the Kan sas wheat farmer, the Georgia cot ton planter, the New England tex tile worker, and the Detroit motor mechanic realize that the Washing ton tariff policy is more important to his standard of living than the AAA or the 30-hour week. Today every country is faced with the gigantic task of making their peop r 2-s appre ciate the. tremendous significance of tariffs, depreciated currencies, and other artlfical trade barriers. Admit lint ration's Policy One of the planks in the platform of the present administration was to readjust tariffs. President Roosevelt’s attitude at the time of the World Economic Conference in uno, 1933, suggested that he had forgotten this promise. A few months later, how ever. he asked and was given pow er to make certain tariff changes. Secretary Hull worked for months negotiating agreements with Cuba. Sweden, Brazil, Belgium, and several other nations. These pacts, however, are of only minor importance com pared with the recent Canadian treaty Both Secretary Hull and President Roo ievelt deserve great credit for their courage in consummating this agreement. In making this statement I am not endorsing every item and every sche dule in the agreement. T am simply upholding the principle—that of re ciprocity —on which it was based. 1 firmly believe that in this particular treaty our government has embark ed, at last, on a safe and sane pro gram of tariff readjustment and trade “rcstoratkyL” In jtni-s respect the Canadian treaty may mark the turn ing point in an era of nationalism which recently reached absurd pro portions. Hence any move which may restore world commerce by re moving artificial trade barriers de serves the acclaim of the entire world. Significant Step. This agreement has come at a sig nificant time. Elsewhere the world seems to he embroiled in martial and economic strife. Holland and France are still suffering from acute defla tion. While it is Impossible to say exactly when these countries will be forced off gold, they cannot resist pressure indefinitely. I feel that when the “gold bloc” breaks the way may be paved toward stabilization of cur rencies. This would he a big step to ward revival in world trade. With ttie treaty between Canada and the United States as an example, real progress toward the ending of salfush nationalism could he made. Even though the Babsonchart has this week advanced to only 10 percent below normal, true prosperity can never return without the unfettering of world commerce. Most students of ■history even advocate “free trade. They know that our standard of liv ing could never have reached its pres ent high level if the products pecul iar to one nation had not been ex changed for those peculiar to an other. The immediate adoption or “free trade” would, of course, Tiring; on a period of violent economic rv adjustments and could not now be considered. It is, however, a goal to ward which tire consumers, manutac turers, and farmers of al’ must work. The proper attack un doubtedly lies along the lines down in the new Canadian trade agreement! “Made in America” is "a™ of n new novel. mile. Co-captain Charlie .Hubbard set new broad jump record. The tennis team went undefeated in the Southern Conference and annex ed both singles and doubles titles. Captain Walter Levitan won the sin gles title and then teamed with Co captain-elect Eddie I)e Gray to win the Conference doubles crown. Captain Erwin Lax ton won the in dividual title in the Southern Confer ence golf tournament. Outdoor' trade found another South ern Conference crown among the lau rels of the Tar Heels. Frank Aber nethy set a new record in the high hurdles. This fall the football team won ft was in the Conference.

WINTER GRID DRILLS AT STATE JAN. 20 College Station, Raleigh, Dec. 20 Winter football drills at North Caro lina State will begin Monday, January 20 with the issuance of equipment. Hunk Anderson, head coach, announc ed today. Coach Anderson did not say how long the drills would run, hut it is expected they will not last longer than six weeks. Approximately 70 men will take part in the drills. The number may be larger if some of the players who take part in the .regular winter sports give up these activities for the winter grid work. Every member of the 1935 varsity except three will he eligible to take part in the drills.
