COMMISSIONS WILL PURCHASE
180,009 ACRES MORS DURING 1931
Asheville, N. C., ept. 30.?During
the remaining months of 1931, 130,000
acres of land in the Great Smoky
Mountains will be purchased by the
National Park Commissions of Tenn
essee and North Carolina, to com
plete the National Park in the Great
Smokies and bring to a successful
eAjfrinirtion, efforts to establish the
Park, which had their beginning in
1898. Tke agitation toward the cre
ation of the Fark, inspired also the
establishment of a Park in the Shen
andoah Valley, Hie creation of the
system of National Forests and the
formulation of a federal policy i u
regard to the purchase of lands for
National Park purposes.
In 1898 a group of Western North
Carolina conservationists placed be
fore congress a bill to create a na
tional park near Asheville. Tbe bill
was defeated by a narrow margin,
congress deciding that the policy of
the government should be against
the purchase of lands for a national
park. Joining with a group of New
England conservationists early in
the 20th century, the same group in
spfted the passage of tihe Weeks
Bill orealing the National Forest
Scrvice. The Pisgah National Forest,
then a part of the famous Vander
bilt Estate near Asheville, was made
the fira? of the present system of
National ForesH
?
In 1918 the activities toward a'
National Pattc were resumed. A sim
ilar movement was undertaken in
Virginia, Vesu^ting in the passage
in 1923 of. an act by congress ap
pointing a commission of five men
including Harlan P. Kelsev, William
A. Welch, Col. Glenn Smith, the Hon
H. W. Temple and William C. Gregg*.
The commission after inspecting va
rious sites in the southern Appa
lachians_ recommended to congress
the Great Smokies and the Shenan
doah as sites for National Parks.
A finance campaign to, mi so inwh
for the purchase of the Great Smoky
Mountains was begun in 1924 and
$1,000,000 had been secured in 1926
In 1927 North Carolina appropriated
$2,000,000 for purpose and this was
matched by a similar amount in lands
and money by the state of Tennessee,
fn 1928 the Laura Spelman Rocke
feller Foundation agreed to match
the funds raised, dollar for dollar,
making a total of $10,000,000 avail
able. The last of the lands will be
acquired this year, the ' minimum
being 427,000 acres.

Liquor
Anti-Probibitionisfs continue to
urge the revision of the Volstead
Act to permit the sale of "li^ht
wines and beer," as if that would
solve the wlfble liqour question. It
would not, for the simple reason that,
as a nation, we have been whiskey
drinkers for a century and more.
Before that we were rum drinkers,
the real prohibition problem, as
President Hoover once stated it, is
the control of 4'hard liquor." Every
milion in the world is trying to find
a way to do that.
The early English settlors in Amer
ica wore beer drinkers at home. The
Pilgrim Fathers tried importing beer,
butit did not keep w?ll at sea. They
found the soil of the Atlantic sea
board inhospitable to the barley and
hops of their na'iive England, and be
gan to satisfy .their demand for al
cohol l?y importing rum from the
s'lgar plantations of the West
indies. Hum is made from molasses.
The Puritans soon began to import
the molasses and make their own
rum. " Med ford rum," made in Mass
achusetts became the national drink
in Colonial times.
With the opening of the Ohio
River country, which began after
the French and Indian war, great
grain crops were grown with no means
of tnuisuorting them to lnarket. The
most economical way out was to con
vert the grain into whiskey, for cheap
transportation. By the middle of the
li>th oentury whiskey had i become
our national drink.
The great German immigration be
gan in 1848. The Germans brought
their brewers. Lager beer, quite a
different thing from EngMsh beer,
began tfr be brewed. Eventually the
brewers gained control of the saloons,
but whiskey still remained (he popu
lar drink.
In the middle 1800's a great grape
district developed in Western New
York and Eastern "Ohio, and a wine
industry was started. Later Cali
fornia became a great wine producing
state. But Americans still drank
whiskey by preference.
To legalize wine and beer will not
change that national taste.
Ochs
The Ne'.v York Times has just cele
brated its eightieth birthday. For
neariV half that time, more than
thirty-five years, it has been under
the control and direction of one man,
Adolph S Ochs. lie came to New
York with practically no financial
resources, but with a thorough know
ledge of the newspaper business,
gained in Chattanooga, Tennessee,
and with a reputation for integrity.
He'"took ever a bankrupt newspaper
and made it into the greatest, most
influential and most profitable journ
al in the world. He did this by the
simple means of determining from
the beginning to make the most com
plete and the cleanest newspaper it,
was humanly possible to inalke. That;
policy he has adhered to rigidly. If
1 had to put the secret of success
into one phrase 1 would say that it
is integrity of purpose. Mr. Ochs is
an outstanding example of success
achieved by that simple rule.
Cooperation.
There never was a better time than
now to try out" cooperative enter
prises in which everyone who con
tributes work or money is to share
in the ultimate profit. In Chicago a
movement of this sort is being organ
ized in the building industry. Arch
itects, contractors and sub-contract
ors supply houses and workers, are
all to take agrecd-on percentages of
their payment in shaYes in the com
pleted buildings. It might work in
other industries. Even if such ex
periments fail to produce expected
profits, it is better for everyone to
have done his share in working on
them than merely to have done noth
ing while, waiting for the economic
crisis to pass.

Urge Buying
To Conquer
Depression
(Special to The Journal)
ashington, D. C., September 30.
?Depression can be conquered by a
campaign to bring home to consumers
the fact that prices have not be.:*ii
so low as they now are since before
the war. That anybody holding money
in the bank is losing a chance lo
make a quick twenty-five per cent
profit on every dollar spent by not
buying right now; that almost any
day will come tike turn from a buy
er's market and that prices are bound
to soar when that day arrives.
The above is the conclusion reached
by Walter P. Gilford, President of
the American Telegraph and Tele
phone Company, after a month's
study as head of the President's Un
employment Commission. He says
the advertising that has been done
so far in an effort to get people to
buy by telling theni it was a patriotic
duty and that it helped keep money
in circulation has been based upon
a wrong psychology, llis idea is to
appeal to consumers through their
self-interest alone.
Gif ford's statement about low
prices is borne out by the latest De
partment of Commerce report which
shows that commodity prices are
twenty-five per cent lower right now
than they have been since the slump
started in 1929. This reduction ap
plies to practically all major lines
except t'ruit and vegetables. These
are actually fourteen per cent higher
than t'*ey were in 19L3.
Americans have learned to eat
more fruit and vegetables in the past
few years than they ever did before
Only a few years ago beans aid cab
bage, along with potatoes, covered
the average vegetable diet of the na
tion. Lately the discovery of the
health-giving properties of greens
and fruit has led to their wide use
and prices show, that the supply is
lagging behind the demand, whiV?
the prices of staple crops are still
falling.
Another sign that the end of the
depression is nearing is evidenced
by the report of Arch Coleman, As
sistant' Postmaster General, that
there has been a recent increase of
fifteen per cent in the amount of mail
being handled by the Government.
Nearly all of this gain was in first
and third-class mail, the latter being
swelled by the enormous amount of
extra advertising matter, indicating
that manufacturers are certain that
there will he an increase in consump
tion this fall.
Gerard Swope, the great industrial
ist who is head of the General Elec
tric Company has offered a plan t<i
minimize unemployment in the future
The plan is being given close study
by all political leaders. In effect, it
is a plan opposing further Govern
ment control of Business, lie wants
each of the major lines like his own,
the lumber interests, grain men,
steamship owners and so on, to form
a "cartel" on the European system
which will absolutely govern oa<li
industry.
He suggests Government contrd
be limited to the Least possiBle parti
cipation only interfering in cases of
rank injustice. Such combinations
would control production, holding
down manufacturers when the market
showed signs of becoming glutted.
This would enable factories to keep
running all year and make the Jot
of the working class much safer. In
surance, pensions and other social
problems would all be handled in
side of the various industries, which
would set aside part of their sur
pluses, to take care of the added
financial burden.
