We've got 'em talking about olivine for magnesium
production in Washington and Raleigh. The
Governor and North Carolina's Congressional delegation
held a conference about it in Washington the
same day the Governor visited President Roosevelt.
Don't let anybody fool you about the olivine situation.
There is a good probability that a magnesium
plant will be located valong the Webster lead. The
Chamber of Commerce and The Journal have in-/
terested many influential men in the project. More
magnesium can be gotten from olivine than from the
other ores where plants have been financed by Uncle
| - Sam.
I
SThe building of a few dams furnishes only a temporary
spurt in business in Western North Carolina, in
. case the power is to be used elsewhere to industrialize
other regions. After they are completed, only a handful
of men are employed about them and the power
houses. But a plant for the production of magnesium
from olivine would furnish an immediate expenditure
of large sums, and would furnish permanent employment
to thousands, who would make their homes
I here and spend their wages in this locality. We can't
afford to let that pass us by,

Not since the days when D. A. Tompkins furnished
the money, J. P. Caldwell, the spice, and John
Charles McNeill, the poetry, to make the Charlotte
Observer the great newspaper that it was, has North
Carolina seen so brilliant an editorial page as the
Greensboro News has given us. Now Earle Godbey is
Thp rpaHprs of newsnaners in North Carolina
will miss him sorely; will miss his brilliant rapier
v thrusts at wrongdoing, his sage advice, and the' fun
of his wit. We wish the Greensboro News well We hope
that it will continue in its. signal service to North
Carolina; but to us that newspaper can never again
be the Greensboro News we have known, for no longer
1 do Earle Godbey's hands indite the editorials, the
reading of which gave us so much genuine pleasure,
j so much relief from care in this sorry world that he
has left.
| SHEER IMPUDENCE
i This paper has always leaned to the cause of labor,
believing that the present place of American La
bor, the highest paid, freest, and with the best working
conditions of any laboring people anywhere at
any time in history has largely been won by organization
of labor in this country.
It is undoubtedly true that there are capitalists
who are seeking to pile up larger fortunes from the
present world calamity, and that* other capitalists
would not hesitate to obstruct the defense program,
if it were to their personal advantage or to the advantage
of their companies to do so. All this is shortsighted
and is unworthy of Americans.
There are labor leaders and labor groups that
have not hesitated to hinder the program in defense
effort, if they thought they could gain some advantage
from it. But, for unmitigated gall and sheer
. impudence, the action of John L. Lewis, president
of the United Miners, in calling a strike in the vital
captive coal mines, despite the thrice repeated request
of the President of the United States that he not do so,
must take first place. In fact it ranks very close to the
work of saboteurs in the countries of Eurppe that
havp hpp.nmp victims nf Hit.lerism. v*
It must be borne in mind that there is no question
of wages. The miners are apparently satisfied
with that. There is no controversy over either hours
or working conditions. Apparently these are satisfactory.
The strike was called in an effort to force the
, owners of the mines and the non-union workers to
agree to a closed shop. In other words they insist that
no free American, regardless of his experience or
skill as a workman, rgardless of his circumstances,
shall be allowed to work in the mines unless he first
pays his fee and becomes a member of John L. Lewis'
C. I. O., mine workers union. That proposal is on the
fanp? rvf it nn.Amprirsm nn-riomnorotip onH hp
VA AV V4.AA 4^ V/illU Vl U VAV ^ Mi.AU *f V MV
lieve the Supreme Court would pronounce it illegal
and un-Constitutional, if a test case should be carried
up.
Upon that flimsy excuse, for that unworthy
cause Mr. Lewis is willing to jeopardize the defense effort
of America in the fact of a grave National Emergency,
to defy the President of the United States, who
is the best friend organized and unorganized labor
has ever had in the White House.

THE JACKSON COUNTY JOURNAL
The captive Goal mines are set aside for the production
of coal for the production of steel, vital to the
National Defense. The strike strikes at the very heart
of American defense, at the arsenal for the defense
of democracy and the preservation of civilization in
the world. . j M . \
The American people see the thing clearly. They
are not deceived. And Mr. Lewis, along with all the
others who have tried to hinder our government in
its effort to preserve for us and our posterity the liberties
and economic security we enjoy, will be the object
of their scorn and contempt. Mr. Lewis, whose
ego ha? expanded until he imagines himself bigger
than the government of the United States is riding for
a fall. The pity of it is that there is danger that the
cause of patriotic and honest laboring people will suffer
because of such short-sighted leadership as that
displayed by Mr. Lewis. When a man allows his prev.;*
noocinnc his iealousies and his envies to '
J UUll/CO) llio j^oquivxau) j
warp his judgment, he is doing injury to himself and
to those whom he essays to lead.
If he persists in his course, we may soon be able to
say: Exit Mr. Lewis!
. ASTOUNDING TRUTH
Perhaps the most astounding thing that President
,A ' ' * 11 1 * ^ * \T.tim 'HQTr TOQC
Kooseveit saia in nis nistonu spccun uu na\y x^?,j
when he disclosed that he has in his possession a map
of South America, including the Panama Canal, in
which that continent's free countries are reduced to
five vassal German states. No serious person could for;
a moment question the veracity of the President of
the United States upon such a vital matter and he
vouches for the authenticity of the map and the plans
of Hitler for the conquest of South America. Thus the
charge that Hitler, wild-eyed in the belief that the
| Germans are a superior race destined to be the master
race, set about deliberately to attempt the conquest of
the entire world, and in so doing brought to the innocent
people the flood of blood and woes that is their
present lot. And, it may be remembered that Hitler
is today nearer to the complete conquest and domination
of all the world than any man has ever been in
all human history.
Then ,the President charged that the Nazis plai^ to
overthrow every one of the existing religions, and substitute
Nazi emblems for the Cross, and Nazi writings
for Holy Writ. The greatest cohesive force that any
country can have is a common religion. The Nazis
know that, and they know that if they can impose the
new paganism upon the peoples, they can perhaps
wpIh t.hp pntire world into a "new order," ordered ac
cording to the Nazi plan, with Germany the master
nation, and the rest of us serfs in vassal states tied
to the German chariot. \ / - * * The
speech of the President was not only a revelation
of the purposes of the Nazis, so that none but
the most foolish can fail to read the truth at last. It
was also a trumpet call to all Americans and all lovers
! off I political and religious freedom, for humble and
- peaceful homes, and of economic security in
liberty under the law, to rally behind the efforts that
: the British Empire and the United States are making
to stop Hitler before it is too late.
"We have all taken our battle stations," the
President said. Some of us labor in factories and mills,
some in forests and on farms, some in mines and
shops and offices. Some of us sail the high seas in
merchant and navy ships. Some fly in the air above
the earth and the seas. Some are in training in the
? ~ Anv\fimiA Aii? nrrvrlr m c/?Vtnnle onrl
army Cctlllps* OUlllC uuntmuc uW1 WU1I\ ill oviiwiu uiiu
colleges. Some are housewives. Some are stationed
at the outposts of America's defense lines in Iceland,
Greenland, or in the islands of the Pacific, while
others guard the Panama Canal and the West Indies.
Each and every one of us has a part to play in this
mighty worid drama, upon the outcome of which depends
whether we shall live under a New Freedom or
under a New Order, which is a new paganism, for this
and coming generations.
The President sounded a note of hope and confidence
when he stated that Hitler can and will be stopped.
The way of truth and light and liberty and
abundant life has always been the way of sacrifice
and self-denial. The Master emphasized that truth
I when He trod that path. Before us lies an age of
greatness or of craven slavery of body, of mind, and of
spirit. The age calls for men and women pf great i
spirits and of noble purposes, of heroic sacrifice and i
| humble living. No nation whose people no not possess j
I those qualities can or should survive in this mighty i
upheaval that is plowing through humanity and !
leaving its mark for generations to come.
The Journal believes that the American people,
most of them, when put to the test, possess those
qualities. We have been blinded by propaganda for
two decades; but at last the light is breaking. The
neople of this country are seeing events in their true
perspective, mere remains uut o imnunty m <um uuu
of Congress that is still blinded by passions, or
predjudices, or wishful thinking. That minority has i
been present in every country in every age.
We stand today at Kadesh-Barnea, on the edge
of the Land of Promise. The leaders who have sur- jj
veyed the land tells us in the languages of grand old
Caleb and Joshua, "We are well able to possess it".
Let us trust that we shall have the grace and guts j
to move forward, and nqt have to remain in the wil- |
.derness until a newer and better generation can be |
raised up, that has the strength of character to follow
the pillar of fire "across the stormy waters of the I
rivers of doubt. 1 jj
