A BIG GUSH OF LITTLE SENTIMENT
Sometimes a lost dog will create more con
cern and pity than the death of a dozen people.
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)

and passage of a law to force la
bor unions to assume equal re
sponsibility with employers in car
rying out agreements—a demand
which is simply an echo of a long
series of similar demands made by
big steel, automobile and other
concerns.
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.
