WAR for righteousness
The air is full of war talk. Many
people are afraid that our country
will, somehow, be drawn Into an
other world war. I have no idea
how many Amricans want "peace
at any price," -tout I imagine that
there are a good many millions of
them. But I believe there are still
a large number of people who hold
the same view of war that Theodore
i Roosevelt did. He once said that he
| was for*-peoce, but for righteousness
first
There are circumstances under
which nations have to choose between
peace and righteousness. In late years
many peace advocates have been
preaching the doctrine that this coun
try was dragged into the World War
by international bankers for the sake
of the money they could make out of
it That to my mind, is perfectly
silly. We went into the World War
to keep the Kaiser and his ambitious
advisers from dominating the world.
If America had not entered the war
when we did, England and France
would have become subject nations,
and we would have a Kaiser-con
trolled government in Canada, threat
ening us on an unguarded frontier
3,000 miles long.

EUROPE . conflict of Ideas
The great conflict which is now go
ing on in Europe is between two radi
cally opposed concepts of civilization.
They are so opposed that it is impos
sible both can exist for long on the
same continent. One or the other
system must eventually dominate.
For a convenient one word descrip
tion, we call one system Fascism, the
other Democracy. The difference is
in their basic ideas of the righto of
Fascism holds that the individual
has no rights except such as are
granted to him by the State, and
those cm be wHMmm at w *>**?
Democracy rests upon the belief that
the individual man's rights are su
preme, and that the State hqs no ftu
thorit except as the people grant it
certain powers, which they can re
voke at any time.
The doctrine' under which the
Kaiser ruled the German people, and
which he sought to impose upon the
reft of the world, was the doctrine
of Hitler, of Mussolini in Italy, of
Stalin in Russia. That is Fascism?
the supremacy of the State. England
and Fra?iee and a few smaller na
tions are founded en th* Democratic j
ideal. W there to another
Europenan wor it will be like the last
one, a war between opposed ideas of
human righto.
ASIA . . dunotracy vs. autoeriey
In the Ftr East a parallel situation
exists, Japan has invaded and is bent
on conquering China. The Chinese
civilization has endured for 4,000
years. It is essentially Democratic.
China has been "conquered" several
times, but her people have managed
to retain or regain their individual
rights, and eventually to absorb their ,
conquerors into their Democratic
scheme of society, in which there has '
always been a minimum of govern
ment control.
Japan's philosophy is, in essence,
the Fascist doctrine, that the State
k all-powerful, the people merely
subjects of the Mikado. This doc
trine is the more deeply ingrained
in the Japaneee people because they
siooerely believe in the Divinity of
flNlr Emperor,^ "The Son of Hea
< Personal liberty and beliefs
must be snerdiasiMto the will of
the llikado. /

SEND CIRCUS TICKETS
BACK
For years the Journal, along with
other newspapers throughout the
country, has been in the habit of run
ning an announcement of the show
ing of Barnum and Bailey's Circus, in
exchange for tickets to the big show.
This year, we received the usual
complimentary tickets and the read
der; but noticed that, for the first time
in North Carolina, so far as we know,
Barnum and Bailey are to show on
Sunday. We promptly returned the
tickets, with the statement that we
will not accept advertising for a Sun
day circus, and that we are surprised
that this departure is to be made.
There is no way of proving the
statement, but our opinion is that if
either the great P. T. Barnum or John
Ringling were alive, there would be
no Sunday circus in Asheville. These
men were too big to flout the conven
tions in the face of the people.

New Dairy Movement
Underway In Mountains
Small dairy farmers in six moun
tain counties of western North Caro
lina have already captured a $200,000
annual milk business from other
states and plans are underway to
greatly expand the industry as fast
as pastures, cows, barns and other
equipment can be added.
About 1,000 farmers in Buncombe,
Madison, Henderson, Polk, Mitchell
and Yancey counties have sold over
$200,000 worth of milk for manufac
turing purpose to the Biltmore Dai: /
Farms near Asheville and E. D. Mit
chell, manager of the farms, says that
facilities will be expanded to take
care of all the milk produced by the
cooperating farmers. Milk routes
have been established and central
gathering points have been locatcd
for the conveniences of the fanners
interested in selling the milk and
cream.
The movement is spreading to oth
er counties, both in the mountains
and in the nearby foothills. The
movement was led by F. R. Farnham,
dairy extension specialist of State
College, cooperating with the county
farm agents. Small demonstration
pastures are being established, trench
silos dug and filled, and purebred
bulls secured.
The farmers selling the milk have
from two to about 15 cows each and
the checks which they receive each
two weeks run from about $12 to $70.
Two other of the large milk han
dling plants located in the southwest
ern mountain area are also taking
milk and cream and this is in addition
to the large quantity of Grade "A*
milk being produced for the retail
trade.
Mr. Farnham says indications arm
that western North Carolina to now
definitely on the way to bttatm ft
