LP SUNDAV, DCE'uBEP.-7. 124" TK DAILY TAP. KEEL 1 oday Is December Itli ' That bright and sunny Sunday afternoon of six years ago, while Dad took his regular Sabbath snooze aii the kids in the neighborhood played football on the lawn. We didn't know the location of Pearl Harbor. Neither did we realize the significance of the word "war". War to us was an excuse used by teachers foi making us learn dates and events. It was a black, romantic plague that swept over the countries of Europe and afforded the movie industry with numerous plots for their films. So, when word that Pearl Harbor had been the victim of a Jap surprise attack reached our football huddle it didn't even break up our game. Nevertheless, we went in to wake up Dad, inform him of the attack, 'and watch as he took down the dusty gazette to find the location of all the excitement had been crayoned over by infantile drawings, and was hardly distinguishable. But now on a Sunday six years later, there is hardly ft person who cannot give you a stinging description of the word. A description that is bitter and leaves its Sting on the individual. War, these people tell you, is a game. There are no rules. It cripples industry and society. It mangles ' "souls and substitutes hate for love. It is a poison for which man has found no antidote. It is a disease dis tributed on mankind by greed a deadly virus. ;But today is another Sunday December 7th differ ent from the 1941 one in that it is six years hence. Per haps this is the only significant difference the world Still has its differences and there are no barriers that makes a nation inaccessible from another. : But if a person says that countries are behaving in a manner which nurtures war, then he is a warmonger. If he tries to mend differences and render aid, he is under suspicion for having ulterior motives. Under such conditions what can we do, we keep ask ing ourselves, In the answer there are no signs of im- mediate success. We must keep plugging all the harder plugging to build the United Nations into an organ : ization that can prescribe medicines for sick nations. December 7th is a day we would like to forget. It ,.- is a day which ushers in events which we. must prevent; Slaves of Soil and... ...Monarchs of Manufacture -If growth in industry means social progress, then North Carolina stands to move ahead rapidly in the years to come. Silas F. Campbell, who runs the Bureau of Besearch and Statistics, says that manufacturing is : on the increase in North Carolina and that North Carolina could possibly outstrip "nearly all", other states in the per capita monetary value of its output. This enticing possibility could come about, Campbell says, it Norm Carolina nad institutions wnicn devote as much talent and research to manufacture as its agri V cultural school does to improvement of its farm pro gram." Campbell points out that of the raw materials pro duced in the state's mines, forests and -fields, only in textiles, tobacco and furniture has It taken a position in manufacture that is commensurate with the impor tance of its natural resources, North Carolina has about two and one half percent - of the nation's estimated population and something just under three percent of the nation's estimated workers employed in manufacture. That, of course, is better than average but still not up to what can be expected of the state. North Carolina stands below its rightful position in manufacture, when its climate, quality and abundance of workers and the abundance of its natural resources and raw materials are considered. Standing ninth in total value of manufactured prp-!- ducts in the last census, North Carolina has reached that position through its three basic raw 'materials cotton, tobacco and wood. Campbell sums up the situation in these words: "If it is said of us that we have been slaves of the soil, let it be said of us henceforth that we are also monarchs of manufacture." B.S.

His Paris-published "Tropic of Capricorn," "Tropic of Cancer," "Black Spring," etc.? have shocked many, disgusted others and delighted a few with their complete disregard for the taboos of languages and thought. They have been banned in all English-speaking countries. A few copies have slipped by authorities and many a- GI in the ETO took a look at Miller's work in Paris. These same GI's would not get their kicks on "Remember to Remember," ex cept for one long story-section devoted to a relation of the af fairs of a homosexual astrologer. For the most part, Miller writes about a' few friends sculptors, painters, architects who are on his (the left) side of the ar tistic fence. He also writes about himself and about his artistic struggle in this hard, cold world. America he finds insensitive, ready to pay' a lawyer a fat fee but unwilling to save an artist from poverty. A few political views find their way through the arty wordage of "Remember to Re member." They .identify Miller as a radical who works at it. The most rewarding section is Miller's chapter on "Obscenity and the Law of Reflection". Al- J most maudlin in his self-nitv. Miller explains that he isn't mak ing any money on his famous books because of the people's objection to what they call ob scenity. In self-defense, he de livers a diatribe against the in sensitive who are ashamed of Carolina, Chapel Hill, where it is HOWARD BAILEY Business Mgr.

Letters which contain obscene or libelous statements jr letters which do not comply with these stipulations will not be published. Dear Sir: We would like to ask by what authority Mr. Bill Robert son is judging the Carolina Con Bervative Club? He has never been to one of . our meetings! If he had, he would know that we neither advocate a stopping f progress nor do we eat opium. We of course 'oppose the zany eft-wing idealogies. We are wholeheartedly anti-Communist. We oppose the KKK. And we uphold the capitalist system and American Democracy. If this means upholding the "status quo" we uphold it and are working to better it. The foundation of our country is good. We want to build on this foundation not destroy it. For Mr. Robertson and others confused on the issue, Fascism was the corporate structure of Mussolini's government. Hitler's government ' was not Fascist, al though it was totalitarian. If you mean racist when you say Fas cist, be clear and say racist. Mus solini's government is gone but Hitler's lives on complete with dictators, storm troopers, secret police, and a world-wide fifth col umn. The governments of Russia and Yugoslavia are carbon copies j of Hitler's Germany. The Com munists and their friends are making plans now to betray A- merica and every other national -vernment into the hands of Soviet imperialism. Part of their plan is to call their enemies Fas cists. We certanly eann&t adjust our selves to the -column "This Changing World", because, the views in said column are com? the Weapon Is Varied i worker, has worked out a not greatly dissimilar to plan Dr. . Taylor's. Miss Tyre has juggled the sentences of assorted south ern unfortunates she met in her work and compiled, in "Red Win First," a book of short story testimonials of poverty and mis ery. With a flavor sharp as pot likker, Miss Tyre has equalled Caldwell and Faulkner in pre senting the seamy side of ex istance below the Mason-Dixon line. Hodding Carter's "Flood Crest" is a tight, sincere novel in the now familiar vein ot "All the King's Men," the novel about Huey Long which won Robert "Penn Warren the Pulitzer Prize for 1946. "Flood Crest-' " hasn't ! the scope of "All the King's Men" and Carter hasn't the literary , - ability of Warren, but this tale,tongues wagging. of a southern senator who makes political capital out of the south's our ills. A love story and dram atic violence in the fight against' a rampaiging river combine with politics and social comment to make "Flood Crest" entertaining is well as important. pletcly out of this world. We base our ideas on the past and ! on present happening. We have no truck whatever with the myst ic Henry Wallace and his guru. Our "idea logy" is made at the University of North Carolina and not in some mysterious "interna tional" headquarters.. We suggest that Mr. Robertson spend some time in the study of History, Political Science, Geo-ifar graphy, Logic and Lconomics; ! read his daily paper to see what j is actually happening in "this j changing world"; and. attend at j least one meeting of the Carolina ' Conservative Club bring your j own opium. !

He began reading as- or play, or sing, or achieve, no , one will build, strive or to surpass or slander you, unless your work be stamped with the seal of greatness. Spiteful voices in the realm of art were raised against our own Whistler lcg after the world had acclaimed him as a !gr5: artl!tlC geTf Multitudes flocked to the shrine of Wagner, while the little group of those whom he had surpass ed cried out angrily that he was no musician at all. The petty and the envious con tinued to protest that Fulton could never build a steamboat that would run, while crowds lined the river banks to see his boat steam by. The leader is assailed because he is a leader. Failing to equal or to excel, those not willing to -pav the price seek to de preciate and to destroy. This is not new. It is as old as the world, and as old as the human passions, envy, greed, ambition and the desire to sur pass. It will continue as long as evil remains with us. Master - poet, master - painter, master-workman, master-Christ ian, each in his turn is assailed. The man-who steps out in front of the crowd is ever the target for those behind.

The question about inventions of the industrial revolution wasn't too hard, in asmuch as Wilbur knew lots of things were invented last cen tury.
