This is well illustrated in the four Russians on an iceflow off the coast of Greenland. The newspapers used their biggest type to tell of the progress of the rescue ships and planes. At the same time thousands and perhaps millions of women and children were being killed and starv ed in Spain and China. Yet most Americans look ed calmly, coldly on while they died. A human being in America who is suffering and dying-should mean no more to another than a stranger under the same circumstances in a foreign land. Color, distance, nor any other dif ferences relieves one from needful help he may give. All the world is kin by the grace of God and suffering should call forth such help as Ameri ca can give the starving, freezing people of China or Spain. If we fail at this time to practice the principles of Christianity which we have been teaching the Chinese for the last half cen tury, America will forever lose its opportunity of saving that people. The great Teacher said, “I was hungry and ye gave me no meat ... In asmuch as ye did it not unto the least of these ye did it not unto me.” INDIA WOULD TEACH AMERICA Mahatma Gandhi,the great leader if India and one of the greatest living men, has set as one of his first reforms in the newly-elected provincial governments, prohibition. One writer says that “prohibition is hardly a subject for controversy in India, for no Indian will argue against the principle. Gandhi himself has stated the principle thus: “No government can make its roads or educate its children on the profits of immorality.” There are many in our country who will watch with profound interest the progress of pro- SEEN & HEARD “ALL WORK AND NO PLAY” If you want to feel bad, get scared, feel like hot hitting it to the shade, just take a stroll down main street in Zebulon and stop in front of Debnam’s Hardware store and tak a look. And if it does not half-way scare you, then you are not afraid of work. Here are some of the things to be seen in windows that suggest work: Hames, hoes, shovels, backhands, bush axes, grubbing hoes, mat tacks, single trees, plow lir\es, reins, iron wedges, picks, clevises, rakes, potato diggers, roofing, har ness leather, axe handles, hoe handles, pitch forks. Now, don’t you already feel tired ? GUESS WHAT Some one in or near Zebulon owns a strange looking dog. It has the head and body of a brindled bulldog, full size. But it has the running gear of a dachschund, and looks about like it has been sawed off at the knees. However, it seems to have no idea it looks queer, and it is probably as happy as most dogs. THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 11,1938 CONVENTION OF LITTLE BUSINESS MEN The brief convention of “little business” men at Washington— called there at the request of the President, who said that he wanted the views of ordinary, run-of-the-mill industrialists —“be- gan in turmoil and finished the same way,” as the Portland Ore gonian put it. Proceedings on the floor o fthe convention took on the nature of a riot, with scores of men all trying to speak at the same time. As a result, newspa per headlines very naturally treat ed the meeting as something of a joke. This was unfortunate —for, after the leveler heads among the delegates managed to assume a measure of control over the riot ers, and the convention was divid ed into committees to deal with specific questions, some reports were produced and approved that are of tremendous significance. It has long been an argument of Administration spokesmen that the bulk of the opposition to New Deal policies comes from big busi ness—that is, a group small in number but large in wealth and in fluence. These spokesmen have : contended that representative 'American small business was and hibition in this distant so-called heathen land. In so-called Christian America many of its lead ers and intellectuals are more deeply steeped in the degradation of ancient evils than many of the lowest peoples of earth today. Such sins as drinking, gambling, immorality, profanity are accepted as permissable if not flaunted in public by any who would participate. Those so acting claim to be gentlemen if not Christians. And so poor old China and caste ridden India, may well spurn our civilization and scorn our religion. Well may they say, “Physician, heal thyself.” FORCING THE FARMER —— l T— ~ 1 Os course we don’t know what it is all about but we have an opinion that this government’s effort to regulate business has already proven in some instances poor business and as a perman ent policy to regulate supply and demand will be a failure. To our own knowledge there are landlords in Wake and other counties who have skimmed the cream of the crop control and many tenants have been left in a worse condition that at first. They follow a sort of bootlegging system. In the measure lately passed by Congress and over which the cotton and tobacco farmers are rejoicing, we believe, unless the government can find away by which the added expense may be met without taxation, then the farmer him self will in the end be the loser. Unless the power that regulates a .nan’s business, whoever he may be, can make it more profitable to him without taking unjustly from another, then greater loss to all concerned will follow. But, if our farmers are for crop control, so are we. As a temporary measure, it will give some temporary relief. However, the only permanent salvation to the cotton and tobacco farmer must be found within himself and on his own farm. He must study the law of supply and demand. He must grow such crops as there is a demand for. He must first learn to fill his own barn with feed and supply his own table with every article of food that may be grown successfully on his farm. Unless he does this when the government lifts its helping hand, which it must ultimately do, he will find himself in a far worse condition than at first. The government, like the Creator, can only help those who help themselves. Otherwise, not only its people, but the government itself is doomed.. If we believe reports that come to us from Russia today, the success of a much hated form of government owes its very life to the cooperation of the people themselves. The initiative and industry of the individual himself determine his welfare and success in life. And so the aggregate effort of a class or a nation measures the success of its earthly des tiny. is solidly aligned behind the Ad ministration and its social and eco nomic objectives. Up to now, any one could dispute that contention, but it was impossible to disprove it. The convention of little busi ness men has gone a long way to ward indicating that their opposi tion is equally as strong. The convention was made up of men who are representative of small business sentiment in this’ country—the delegates came from all sections of. the country and represented concerns grossing any where from SIO,OOO a year to sl,- 000,000. By and large, the con vention’s final reports contained direct and aggressive criticism of the New Deal. Furthermore, the New Deal policies they criticised most zealously are precisely the policies that have been condemned by large business. Examples: The convention demanded the re peal of the undistributed profits tax and radical modification of the capital gains tax —the two tax es which, according to big busi ness, are largely responsible for industrial lethargy and the busi ness slump. It demanded the repeal or rigid amendment of the Wagner Act (National Labor Relations Act) AMAZE A MINUTE SCIENTIFACTS BY ARNOLD Children write better 3 THAN GROWN-UPS/ ggj Aoults WRITE 3'4 TiaaES .

It demanded that government in terference with business be ended, and advocated a policy of co-oper ation in its place. Again, this is something that large business has been asking for four years. These were the meatiest de mands made by the convention, aside from proposals of a less gen eral nature (such as that govern ment make low-interest loans to small businesses). Further, speeches made on the floor of the convention were strongly critical of the Administration, and, in some cases, of an outright denun ciatory character. In brief, if, as it is supposed to be, this conven tion was honestly representative of American industry on its lower ec onomic levels, the New Deal is def initely unpopular. The conven tion’s reports have gone to the White House. What effect they will produce on the Presidential mind is one big question of the moment.
