S TODAY and TOMORROW (Hy Frank Parker Stock bridge) DEFINITIONS . . . take "Liberal" 1 hear a great many people Using )ld words with new meanings. This esults In L'oniused thinking and in:s liiderstainling, es|H'cialiy when folk ire talk 11 g about political matters. The \ford "Lihesal" is one whieh f >ften loosely used as* if it meant tin ?ame thin? as "Radieal". A liberal schoine of government is me in whieh the rights of every mi lority sroup, however, small, are rec ignized and protected. It is, 1 he eve, the ideal of every intelligent hinker on political matters. And, t is not necessary to have a denioc acy to have a 'Liberal government; n a broad sense the British govern nent is, Lihiral, and so are other En opean monarchies. Hut the governments of Germany, Russia and Italy today are anything nit Liberal; and 1 seem to see si<-us ?hat the Government of the United states is slipping away from its old Liberal attitude. RADICALISM . . . its . meaning '?Radical" is another good word hat has had i(s meaning corrupted It means, literally, getting down t>> lie roots of tilings. iXow it is geuciv illy understood to mean a man or a ?Toup that seeks to uproot e very t hint; hat exists and turn the world topsy turvy. * ' The word "Conservative" lis also being carelessly used, as if it mount tme who is op|>osed to any change whatever in the existing scheme of lrngs. 1 know a good many genu ine Conservatives, and without excep r ion they are entirely sympathetic to the ultimate ideals of even tsomo who ire classed a/s extreme radicals. One has to he careful, these days. :.n discussing anything of a political nature, to make sure that both -parties' to the drscussion mean the same thin*; with the same words. CLASSES. . . U- . . . . not here ; One of the reasons why the United States has become ithe most powerful nation in the world is the utter ab sence of any "class" system anions its people. On the one hand we hav-* no peasantry tied to the sa;l; on tin other we have no hereditary aristoc racy. Every American is and always Lindbergh. He has declared for Unit ed States Senator from New York under the "Constitution Party" ban ner. As a:i anti-New Dealer he may ?rive Senator Copeland a lively eon <-st, nnles* the Republicans nominate i stronger candidate than any how in sight. At the other extreme of the |x?liti "^il picture is the nomination on the Democratic ticket for Governor of California, of Upton Sinclair, author >f many extremely radical books and an avowed Socialist, though his So cialism i:- more a mixture ot Henry George and Edwar . R< Ua:i:y than the imre Karl Marx brand, i I is slogan, EPIC, which Stands for "En invert;, in California", is calculate to catch Radical \oters, but it is in, secret Washington that the sitv ition cn-a'-d f hereby has the Administ ration wor- : i-ied. For that, nrit^er, as one al.ie ob I erver r< marked the other d?i the ?>re no s< cr.'ts iii Washingte The d'limnia is whether ? re? , ii/.e Sincla'r . as a Democrat, nl herebv put tin; seal of Administra tion approval oil a program which ??it-deals the New Deal; or .to di.-> >|aii:i him, and thereby dienate the ?rtd'cal element upon who e votes thr Xdministiatioii is counting beavily The genera' opinion here is that lh< ?onservative Dciihh rats of Cal'tomir vill throw their strength to the Re oublica i candidates for Governor am ! Congress, which may upset soinewh r j t.he bo|K?s of further Democrat i.e gain: from the Pacific Coasi. A more immediate worry is th< general labor situation, with strike increasing in number and seriousnes and the Administration trying to '-ft? nre out whether it would be bette politics to put all strikers on the re lief rolls or to tighten up on its re lief program.

I don't be lieve it can be done. We have not yet exhausted opportunity for individual indojiendence. . MONEYMAKERS ..... a type \I have a friend who occupies a high position in the Federal Government and has a^ background of wide busi nesg experience. Dining with hi*n in Washington a fe,w evenings ago, he dropped this new idea: "If 1 were President of the United States, trying to bring the nation out of an economic crisis," he said, "1 would have the Treasury Department examine all the income-tax returns and discover who are the best r.oney inakers in the country. Then I would put those men in tin* key positions instead of filling the high posts with men who 'ilever made a dollar in their lives, flu y would bo able to jioin* the way out of the depression with plans that would work". I ] toin ted out that that wouldn't be ?rood polities. A.nv President that did that would be accused 6t "selling out to Wall Street". Mv friend agreed that it was a practical difficulty in the way of his idea, but 1 think it i a pretty sound thought, at that. ANNUITIES grow in favor I have a friend, a young doctor, who isn't worrying about his future. As fast as he can get hold of $100 he doesn't need to use, he lells me, he . yv. an annuity eontrw,t from o:ie of ?ue big life insurance companies, \ hi< .i will begin when he is sixty to .v him -i pension for the rest of lus Jli'e, and if he should <1 e sooner, all he has paid in will be returned to his heirs. 44 Any man who tries to p ck his own investments or to make money by speculating in stocks is a plain suck er," he remarked. 44 Nobody can sr.ake money in that way unless he gives his whole time to it, and a busy professional man hasn't the time or the ability to study investments If the big life insurance companies can't do hetter with my money than I can, then their management is incompetent aid I don't believe it is. And if they i smash the whole country will s rash l and I'll be no wore off in one ease than in the other."

Thus the members of tho delegation will miss but one day from their hunsi n esses.

The hearing was originally scheduled to be held in Ashevillc, but when objection was raised by certain gentlemen from Tennessee Secretary Ickes canceled tho Ashe ville hearing, and moved it to Wash ington, in order to be on neutral ter ritory. The route has l>eo.n established through Virginia and as far south as Blowing Rock in this State. The Tonn esseans are contending that it should ?ut across from Blowing Rock into that State, and end at Gatlinburg Since the geography of the country already gives Tennessee the western entrance, with proximity to St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, Cinci nnati, Detroit, Chicago, Jndianapol is, and in fact the entire territory of the west and middle west, with all the large cities west of the moun tains, if the Parkway should lie lo cated so as to jro into Tennessee , end ing at Gatlingburg, that State would also have the cities of the east, in cluding, Washington, Baltimore, Phila delphia? New York and Boston to draw from, leaving North Carolina with a national park, but witiiont most of the financial advantages that would naturally accrue to the State from the park. The people of North Carolina, how ever, are not basing their claims up on any selfish interests, but upon the common good of all the people of the country. North Carolina says that, since the Parkway is to be the most important and pretentions scenic route in the world, that it should fol low the course that will afford to the traveler from park to park the max imum of scenic splendor, and if the route is determined upon this basis, the people of this State will be more than satisfied with the decision, and that, since the government has ap ( Continued On P^e 2)
