McDonald Praises Roosevelt
For 'Cash And
Extension Division Associate
Director Says Action Will
Aid France, Britain
"The cash and carry neutrality pro
gram of President Roosevelt is the
most valuable safeguard the United
States can take to stay out of the
European war, in my opinion," Dr.
Ralph W. McDonald, associate direc
tor of the University Extension Divi
sion, said in an address last night at
the Sanford Tobacco Festival.
"It seems entirely reasonable to be
lieve that England and France cannot
conquer Germany within any short pe
riod of time, unless the full resources
of United States industry are placed
at their disposal," Dr. McDonald said.
"This nation is potentially the world's
largest producer of airplanes, tanks,
and all the implements of warfare.
"If our factories are not permitted
to sell and ship their products to the
warring nations, then the allies will be
unable, with, the drain on their man
power for actual fighting, to build up
their own factory production of the
means of warfare far ahead of that of
Germany."
It must be remembered, he said,
that Germany has been organized on
a war basis for a long time, and that
her capacity for producing the instru
ments of war is amazing.
GERMANY CUT OFF
The cash and carry policy, he added,
would "theoretically permit Germany
herself to buy American munitions,
but in practice the American supply
will be closed to Germany by the
blockade of her ports. ' -
"The practical effect of the Presi
dent's neutrality policy, it seems to
me, would be that our industrial re
sources would be thrown into the
war on tne siae ui ue a. -

would boom (though the actual eco
nomic gain would be an illusion) and,

"Contrast Show"
Now On Exhibit
In Person Hall
"The Contrast Show" of reproduc
tions of paintings of old and modern
masters and the rental collection of
reproductions by modern painters
opened yesterday in i Person hall art
gallery.
"The Contrast Show" Is an example
of conservatism versus modernism
For each painting by an old master
its counterpart is found in a modern
painting. "Madonna del Granduca"
by the old Italian master Raphael is
contrasted with "Mother and Child"
by the modern Spanish painter Picas
so; "Portrait of a Lady" by the 15th
century Italian painter Domenica
Veneziano .with "Portrait of a Lady"
by the modernist Manet, "The Har
vest" by the 15th century Flemish ar
tist Pieter Brueghel with Cezanne's-
20th century "the Harvest."
The paintings are hung in pairs in
order that visitors may decide for
themselves whether they prefer the
greater realism of the older masters or
the freer expression of the modern
painters.' The reproductions are made
by a photo-mechanical process called
"collotype," which produces a more
exact copy of the original picture than
the screen process used in magazines.
RENTALS
The rental collection includes works
by many of the modern masters, Ce
zanne, Degas, Derain, Gauguin, Manet,
Marc, Pissarro, and Renoir. These re
productions will be for rent. These re

President Opens
146th Session
Of University
If America is to avoid the ways of
dictators and wars, it must adapt it
self to changing conceptions of free
dom and democracy in the dynamic
society of the modern world, Presi
dent Frank P. Graham declared yes
terday in an address at the formal
opening of the 146th session of the
University of North Carolina.
An audience of students, faculty
and townspeople that filled Memorial
Hall heard Dr. Graham deliver a stir
ring appeal in which he asserted:
"In this critical hour for human
freedom, instead of a dictatorship
away from dictatorship and instead of
a dictatorship toward democracy, this
University sounds a timely challenge
to religion, to education, to freedom,
and to democracy."
CHALLENGE
The challenge of education and- de
mocracy, he said, "is more and high
er democracy in education, and freer,
nobler, and continuous education for
democracy. , .
"Democracy cannot be fixed in the
mold of the past, must not be con
fined to political democracy, must not
tolerate mobocracy and cannot long
be identified with plutocracy. ,
"Democratic education does not
mistake propaganda for information.
Education for democracy is not in
doctrination, but is a free participa
tion of all in the creative experiences
of learning and living.
SOCIAL CONTROL
Democracy is not regimentation by
private; corporate, or public v political -bureaucracies,
but social control by
the people in behalf of the freedom
and equal opportunities of all people."
Pointing out that freedom and de
mocracy are now crushed, or renounc
ed in more than half the world, Dr.
Graham said Americans are now ask
ing themselves why people in so many
parts of the world have turned away
from democracy.
Not the least of these causes, he
said, "is the failure of democracy to
satisfy- some of the basic needs of the
human body and some of the highest
aspirations of the human spirit.
Democracy had provided equality
of suffrage but not equality of op
portunity; the freedom to worship but
not the right to work; the freedom
of assembly and the right of collec
tive petition but not the freedom n of
the self-organization of workers and
the . equality of collective bargaining;
corporate privileges but not agricul
tural parity; and political liberty but
not social security against the haz
ards of modern society.
FAILURES
The democracies, in general, he
said, "with their dominant position,
and America, in particular, with its
unparalleled posession of the resouces

University Sociologist, Mar

Declaring that today there is even

failure of a great number to achieve
successful adjustment, Dr. Ernest R.
Groves of the University of North
Carolina, noted sociologist and au
thority on family problems, said the
reaction to this condition "is different
on the fart of thinking' people from
that cynicism and skepticism that was
so commonly expressed ten years ago."
Addressing Wednesday's session of
the American Congress on Obstetrics
and Gynecology, in session in Cleve
land, Ohio, this week, Dr. Groves dis
cussed sociological aspects of mar
riage conservation and outlined four
points in a program toward this end.
