W1TTEE....Editor And PabHakcr CLAUDE L ALBEA...-----A aa aria to Editor CHARLOTTE, N. C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1940 Every Day Is FLAG DAY ..Ml WHAT IS AMERICA? Mary B. Andrew, superintendent of schools in Carbon* dale, Penn., answers this question in the following truthful and beautiful terms: “What is America? God built a continent of glory and filled it with soft rolling prairies and pillared it with thun* dering mountains. He studded it with soft flowing fountains and traced it with long winding streams. He graced it with deep shadowed forests and filled them with song. These treasures would have meant little if thousands of people, the bravest of the race, had not come, each bearing a gift a hope. They had the glow of adventure in their eyes and the glory of hope in their souls and out of them was fashioned a nation, blessed with a purpose sublime and called ‘America.’ ” HOPE Always somewhere in the world it is midnight. The shadows are as deep as death. Where darkness is, fear reigns. Even so, it is also true that, as it is written on a sundial on a pier at Brighton, England, “ ’Tis always morn ing somewhere in the world.” 'inis hopeful suggestion is 1 worthy of our remembrance. As we look at some parts ; ! of our world, they are as unpromising as darkness and as ' ominous as the grace. Violence and tyranny seem invin cible. Sin and moral chaos appear to rule for the time being Just as surely, however, there are parts of our world where ; the opposite is quite true. These are full of promise »nH radi ; ant with hopeful outlook. These are the morning places, where the sun is shining and the denizens of the darkness ! are driven to their lairs. Fear and terror cannot thrive there. The radiance of hope turns devastation into gardens, dries the tears of grief and replaces them with the happy smile of expectant faith, dispise the quaking fears of evil, and ’ inspires the courage of the conqueror. God is not dead, and ! rebellious man lives and reigns only a brief span. It is always ; morning somewhere, and it is going to be morning every where, some day. The days of sin and pain cannot always last. “Weeping may endure for the night, but joy cometh ! in the morning.’’—The Watchman Examiner. A. F. OF L. WILL NEVER SURRENDER PRINCIPLE OF DEMOCRATIC CONTROL ‘The American Federation of Labor will never surrender the principle of democratic control or yield to minority force and domination. It will ever cling to Democratic ideals and will most jealously guard and protect the principles of De mocracy and Democratic procedure. It will never accept a dictator or submit to autocratic control. It is upon that sound and solid American basis it has taken its stand and there it will ever remain.’’—WILLIAM GREEN, President American Federation of Labor. PATRONIZE JOURNAL ADVERTISERS FACING THE FACTS The With Philip Pearl goblins arc after John L. Lewis, lie is getting awfully seared men. There is no other of the little___ _ „„ 1.1lrr, way ce can account for his fantasti cally secret manipulation of his puny, personal political puppet, Xabor’s Non-Partisan League. The day after Eli Oliver resigned as director of the league, Lewis or dp red all the locks changed in the league’s suite of twelve rooms in the Earle Building at Washington. We haven’t been snooping around there ourselves. This information comes to us by way of an article by Will Allen in the Washington Daily News. According to Mr. Allen, 0. L. Gar rison, comptroller of the league, ad mitted that locks had been changed “because there were a lot of keys ouf- He didn’t see any significance in the action. But Mr. Allen dug deeper. He discovered, he says, that keys for the new locks were not dis tributed to any employe of the league who was regarded as a supporter of Sidney Hillman. And then came the payoff. “Black-browed Lewis,” writes Mr. Allen, “personally descended on the leagues office to conduct the dean out that has practically denuded it of all staff. Not a single person identi fied with Sidney Hillman remains on the leagues payroll here, it was learned.” Thus, in approved Communist con spirational fashion, Mr. Lewis is pro ceeding to make the league a secret society composed of a lot of “Yes’” men. The word “So” is verboten in Soviet Russia, in Nazi Germany, in Fascist Italy, in the Communist Party in this country and in Labor’s Non Partisan League or in any other or ganized dominated by Lewis. All this secret, high-handed stuff is rapidly getting Lewis the gate. He all but admitted it the other day in his speech before the CIO auto work ers convention. He said: "If the day should come, as it well may, when your support is withheld from me, I shall accept your judg ment and no longer annoy you with my counsels or davice.” Lewis, that day has come. You predicted that President oRosevelt. if he ran for a third term, would go down to “ignominious defeat.” The auto workers, a few days after your speech, enthusiastically endorsed Roosevelt for a third term. Practically all of the CIO leaders are up in arms against you, Mr. Lewis, because of your slavish devo tion to the Communist Psrty line, be cause of your high-and-mighty polit ical policies and because of your ada mant refusal to permit peace in the labor movement. Until now, Mr, Lewis, you have been able to have your own way be cause you controlled the CIO purse ! strings. The boys were scared to , death of you. Now, you have become so ludicrous a public figure that they are laughing at you and daring to line up against you. Disgust with the CIO brand of Communism is manifesting itself with particular force among the newspapermen in New York City who are washing their hands of the Red-dominated American Newspaper Guild and flocking in large numbers to the newly-organised American News writers Association, chartered by the American Federation of La bor. This local union, only a couple o weeks old, is making rapid strides According to reports from New Yorl just received, more than a hundrei newspaper writers on the New Yorl Times have joined already.

Plan to Build Rural America Project Alto Advocated tc Give Jobs to Surplus Farm Labor. WASHINGTON.—The department of agriculture has developed plana for a broad rural construction and rehabilitation program designed tc offer employment to surplus farm laborers and to strengthen the na tion’s resources. The plan, which has not reached the final stages and tor which a large appropriation would be neo essary, is being sponsored by Dr. W. W. Alexander, farm security administrator. He suggested a five-point pro gram: I. Conservation of the nation’s land resources. J. A gigantic rural housing pro gram. 3. Reforestation and forest culture. 4. Water conservation and flood control. I. Supplementary tasks to in crease farm market facilities. Alexander told congressmen that the plan offers “a matchless oppor tunity for building new industrial well-being out of the fields of rural America.” Start Only Made. Present programs have “barely made a beginning,” Alexander said. One of the most challenging prob lems which confronts the nation is the fact that growth of population is daily “outstripping the expansion of opportunity,” he said. “Its eventual solution lies in the adoption of a broad permanent pro gram, based on an entirely new con ception of land—a conception which recognizes that, although the legal title to land and forests and other resources may be in the hands of -individuals, they must be preserved as the basic resources for Ameri can generations to come.” Agriculture department reports show that 800,000 to 600,000 farms in the nation are so worn out that the occupants will “literally starve to death” if they continue to culti vate them. The reports said the fer tility is “nparly destroyed” on an other 800,000 to 600,000 farms. Erosion Dangers Stressed. Alexander said that “the life of our nation depends” upon the halt ing of this erosion, whether the land be in public or private hands. There is work for many thousands of rural laborers in soil conservation work, he declared. Slum clearance in the rural areas is a vital need to protect the health of the nation, he said. He added that rural laborers could be given millions of man-days of work re pairing and rebuilding farm homes. It was estimated that $3,800,000,000 could be profitably spent in that pro gram. A much-needed reforestation and forest culture program giving work to many thousands would be in a large degree self-supporting, Alex ander said. Millions of acres of Submarginal land are suited for re forestation. Color Shades Restricted To One Dozen in Britain LONDON.—Women will spend much less time this year matching colorful patterns for the reason they will have only 12 shades ta choose from. Men, too, will have to be content with some half dozen shades of brown, blues and grays. The dyeing section of the York shire woolen industry considers this reduction in colors necessary to off set the tremendous war demand for khaki, air force blue and navy blue. They are concentrating on the light er shades for spring. West End dressmakers approve of . the idea. They consider women have become color conscious with the' present multitudinous choice, and that equally good effects can be ob tained within a smaller ran*e. _l_r THE JOURNAL has by far the largest city circulation of any weekly published in Char lotte.
