C, THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1945 LETS GO SLOW ON BONDING THE CITY His grunt local bond issue, running around Four MOlfam Iferflan, is something to give the taxpayers and voters cause for thou*ht and *<>ng thought. In the years to come, with a lighter purse and a heavier burden to carry, and with things not as easy as they are today, in other words the celebration sf the morning after the night before spending of World War No. 1, when Mr. Hoover handed Mr. Roosevelt a depleted treasury and n dermmt government, as fur as humbled capital was concerned, when the Big Boys saw the handwriting on the wall, and came kaocMug at the back door of a hated administration for relief, Franklin D. Roosevelt dosed the banks, and after the house denning there were fewer hanks. He gave us the Federal Reserve b®.g»v®.!- tbs WPA,. thing that saved our starving, suffering dtuenship; he gave Big Business a “shot in the arm,** he gave the uttle man relief.

Instead of Hafarrinn m JOHN P. WHITE SIGNALLY HONORED That was a signal honor given Councilman J. P. White last week, when he was made Chairman of the Veterans’ Service Com mittee of Charlotte by Mayor Baxter. Mr. White baa three eons ta the sen** overseas, and another son who Is a veteran of World War No. I. If oor memory fails us not all of these beys are mem bers of Typographical Union, as is the father. There is no man tm the city council for whom The Journal editor has greater re spect, and our intimate knowledge of the nuui through personal eontact for many years leads us to make the statement that he is one public servant who will not be swayed by any faction, other than what he believes to be right and just for all parties concerned. He Is not a politician, but a 100 per cent American and a man who believes in doing things himself—*nd, having things done. -V SAVING THE MOREHEAD STREET PARKING STRETCH Like many other Charlotte citizens, The Journal editor can not see the necessity of doing away with the “Park Strip” on East Morehead street in front of the Alexander Graham Junior High School, unless, as H has been well said by many, it is to open a speedway to endanger the lives of our children attending this school It is a very attractive stretch of lawn and shrubbery, and certainly not an eyesore. What Charlotte needs more of Is just such stretches along our highways, more small parks, here and there, and less memorials of granite, marble, brick and ’’asphalt.” -V STILL THE SAME OLD “COCKEY” FRANCE For a defeated, and thoroughly stripped nation, the french are certainly wielding the big stick in Syria and the Levant. Of course, they are one of our “allies,” but they are certainly no ways backward about coming forward in their demands. ON FOREIGN RELATIONS Sr RUTH TAYLOR What aro “foreign relations”? KThajr are Jast exactly the sane aa domastk relations the attitude ef !e toward each ether, ear attitude toward our neighbors and their atti toward aa. The longer people work together the more they understand each other. When we refer to e man aa a cosmopolitan—wo mean ha has seen and lived la mere than one place, that he is readily adaptable. A cosmopolitan eoeioty is the blending ef many types ef people. fkalt taak to establish good foreign relations between ef different faiths and speech, hut if we reduce it to _ ef the neighbors on our own street and in our own town, wo wiU see it can ho accomplished. And it mast be if we are to have pM€9 in tliis world. In a recent speech before the American Foreign Policy Association. Pierre do L. Beni said: “Our foreign relations are in fact our first line of defense. The bulwarks of tkk defense sre far beyond our shores in the minds and hearts ef other people. Its arsenals are in our own.” Carrying this idea still farther, President Truman said: “America mast assist saffertag humanity back along the path of peaceful progress. This will require time and tokrance. We shall need alee an abiding faith In the P*®pk, the kind of faitk and courage wkkk Franklin Delano Roosevelt always “A JW^Amarlea bas become one of the meet powerful forces for good on earth. We must keep it so. Wo aa a nation arc dodkatod to the ways of economic peace in the world in order that there may bo freedom from want not only foe ourselves hot for nil the peoples of all the earth. We are dedicated aa well to the ways of spiritaal peace in the world in order that all ever the world men of all races, of all nationalities, of all faiths may ha free. For us, Hfe, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is more than a national ideal. It k the heart of the humaa problem. It is the heart of all relations both domestk and foreign. that time, at least we coaid be laying by. Besides, there is s very good chance that Mecklenburg County will have ABC stores one ef these post-war days, and with them the mportaaity of reducing the tax rate substantially. With this relief City taxpayers could stand a special tax and net feel it. Then with Soldiers and Sailors by the City of Charlotte, 1949 A.D. (Absolutely Debtfree). TEAMSTERS OF PELA. TO PASS $65,000 MARK IN BOND DRIVE PHILADELPHIA, P»— Jw 4. — The Teamsters Joint Council No. 53, AFL, have already sold $356,000 in War Bonds of the Seventh War Loan, which is far in advance of their record for Sixth Loan.
