WITTER.-..Editor and PuhSohor CLAUDE L. ALBEA.-—1.Aooodato Editor CHARLOTTE, N. C„ THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1940 SELLING PATRIOTISM A great many papers today are publishing Patriotic Pages, selling signatures of sponsors for various occasions. Commercial izing on the Flag. This does not set well, for every citizen knows that those paying for the publication of their allegiance, need not necessarily do so, for they are known for their patriotic spirit without the use of this subterfuge to extract an extra dollar to place the same before the readers. The Labor Journal has been carrying pages to its thousands of readers without any attempt at a “Sponsor Sale,” and will con tinue so to do. . ... The Labor Movement in this section is 100 per cent American, harking back to the days of the Mecklenburg Declaration. The membership of A. F. of L. bodies in Charlotte, we believe, is com posed more thoroughly of members who can go back to the days of the Revolution than any other body other than the “Sons, “Grandsons,” etc., than any other organization, and they belong in those organizations, at least 50 per cent, of them. As an analysis, we will say 50 per cent hold a 100 year and better record; 40 per cent a 70 year record, and 10 per cent a 25 year record, which is hard to beat. --- --— —--■** WHAT A FEW OF OUR GREAT PRESIDENTS SAY AS TO MERITS OF THE AM. FED. OF LABOR “Of course we will continue to seek to improve work* ing conditions for the workers of America, to reduce hours overlong, to increase wages that spell starvation, to end the labor of children, to wipe out sweatshops. Of course we will continue every effort to end monopoly in business, to support collective bargaining, to stop un- » fair competition, to abolish dishonorable trade practices. For all of these we have only just begun to fight. — Franklin D. Roosevelt. “The trade unions of the United States have con ferred such essential services upon their membership and upon the community that their real values are not to be overlooked or destroyed.”—Herbert Hoover. “Governments must recognize the right of men col lectively to bargain for humane objects that haveto do with their mutual protection and welfare those en gaged in all industries. Labor must not be longer, treated as a commodity.”—Woodrow Wilson. “The organization of capital ianto corporations with the position of advantage which this K,ve8ltJ" ®dl.8; putewith single laborers oyer wages, acutely necessary for labor to unite to defend itself. —William Howard Taft. “I believe the practice of collective bargaining, ef fective only through such organizations as the trades, unions, to have been one of the most potent for®e*jJ" past century in promoting the progress of wage and in securing larger social progress for humanity. — Theodore Roosevelt. “Capital is the fruit of labor, and could not exist if labor had not first existed. Labor, therefore, deserves much the higher consideration. —Abraham Lincoln. ......^^>*********«**i Pender Stores Answer Yonr Problems of QUALITY AND ECONOMY aluminum company project signs an A. F.

THE GREATER DEVASTATION BY DR. CHARLES STELZLE During recent weeks, as newsboys have cried the “extras" on the street, we have known it meant some new horror visited upon the people of the British Isles. We have listened with increasing dread to the accounts of the devastation of the peaceful conn* try side, the quiet villages and the gar* den homes of England. We have mourned the destruction in London of places whose inheritance is that of every free born man and woman places that stood for milestones on the road to democracy. We thought we were satiated with horror, as one by one the free coun tries of the world fell before the Nazis. We had mourned each with increasing sorrow—and now we stand silently watching the last great de mocracy of Europe fight for its life. But with every blow at England w» feel a pride in the English people—in the way they are standing up to it as a united nation, living up to their great traditions of courage and steadfastness. The monuments of their past may be destroyed—but they are building new and greater monu ments of the spirit that will live in song and story through all time. But what of the great devastation of Germany? Though they have not been invaded as other European countries have been, nor their peoples subjugated and subjected to the bes tialities which they have imposed upon those nations over which they have so ruthlessly swept—still, their’s is the greater devastation—for they have suffered a moral and spiritual degradation more horrible than any thing endured by their victims. The church, the school, the press of Germany have lost their places of leadership because they have been dominated by the Nazis, in their in sane, unscrupulous, immoral plans for world domination. Their people have1 been brutalised by the moral degra dation systematically cultivated by their leaders. This sanctity of their homes has been violated by the doc trine of the supremacy of the State. . The minds of their children have been warped by the teachings of hatred, by the false doctrine that might is right, that the outside world owes them, as a master race, subservience any everything else they want, and that they should satisfy their wishes at the expense of all others, regard less of the laws of right and justice. When the war is over, instead of being uplifted by the stories of a holy conquest in which the fallen enemy was dealt with mercifully, they will hear only a melancholy tale of rage unbelievable. Pitiful indeed is the de vastation of the German people—their minds and morals a heap of ruins! Born to at least a measure of free dom, they have become slaves of ty rannical rulers.
