PLEASE Two years hence, at this time, a presidential campaign will be in full swing in the United States. But even now this au tumn's congressional campaigns are getting under way. These testing times are bringing a crystallization of objections to the present Ad ministration's policies and accom plishments. The attacks upon the Administra tion include charges of "regimen tation," "bureaucracy" and the trend toward "nationael planning" carries a threat of Fascism, So cialism, or Communism any one of which would be contrary to the "American tradition." There can be no donbt that nu merous objections to the New Deal are well founded, There are prom ises the Administration has not kept. Not a few of the ambitious plans have failed to bring results that the American people were leu to expect. Understandable dis satisfaction has followed. Senator Borah, maintaining his reuutation as a free-lance critic, lately said that the real issue be fore the country is monopoly. That is, are we to return to unre stricted competition with private monopoly of goods and services, or are we to go forward to a regula tion of competition so strict as to represent a publicly fostered mo nouolv? The critics of the New Deal contend that the latter would K nnnlriru if ti -i I ii .1 1 1 1 traHitinn; of initiative and independence. Un W V " ' - forunately while they make it clear that they do not like the New Deal critics are unable" to suggest any alternative except a return to what they call "individual initiative." Lest this be interpreted as meaning the indorsement of a return to prac tically unbridled exploitation of the "little man," as "practiced" prior to 1930, the critics invariably hasten to qualify their remarks by advocating in the future a "proper regulation" of business. What con stitutes a "proper regulation," and how it differs from the restrictions of "national planning," which they assail, is not made clear. An element of humor is not lack ing in the discovery that the very trends which the critics of the New Deal view with so much ap parent alarm seem to be considered equally reprehensible by spokesmen of that very New Deal. So Don ald R. Richberg, chairman of the new Industrial Emergency Council, only Thursday in an address worthy of any Republican Fourth of July celebration, extolled the "good old American way" of achieving se curity and. freedom, and bade the forces of Fascism and Communism pass by. In fact, it appears that advocates of the New Deal and critics of the New Deal are not so fundamentally at odds as one might suspect to hear them orate. Both wish to bring about a large measure of re covery in the United States. Both seem to agree that "American meth ods" are preferable. They are not so unanimous in their conception Clippings with the postal regulations. masters must keep their minds strictly on their business. Well, we don't know how it is in Macon, but there are not many teachers in this part of the state who have appeared latterly to be under the influence of an uncontrollable im pulse to dance, or yet to sing. "Dancing is mentioned twelve times in the Bible," complains a M aconite to the editor of the Franklin Press, "and 'David danced before the Lord with all his might.'" But David was at the time quite differently situated GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS. of what such methods may be Nevertheless, both groups recognize that they cannot solve 1934 prob lems by using 1834 methods; they know that some progress has been made in giving greater security to the so-called "forgotten man;" they know that no retreat is possible or desirable from such standards. In view of these essential points of agreement, the nonpartisan ob server could wish that politics might be temporarily scrapped. Oppo sition, it is said, is useful in gov ernment and essential for the pro tectkm of the public To this view there can be little objection, but it is, perhaps, permissible to amend it by asking that the opposition be in the interests of good govern ment and in the interests of public welfare, rather than in the inter ests of political victory and in dividual advantage. Is it too much to hope that, as a .nation and as individuals, we have advanced to a point where a dif ference of opinion on governmental or economic theories can be met on the basis of intelligence, rather than by resort to mud-slinging, red herrings, and political bickering? Actually, honest men have but one honest purpose and if erroneous thoughts and selfish desires can be set aside they will find them selves on a firmer foundation. There can be no better time to try such methods than now. Watauga Rev. G. A. Cloer spent the week end with his family. Miss Kathryn Ramey spent last week with Mr. and Mrs. George B. Kamey, of Franklin. Miss Alice Franks and Ralph Scott were quietly married on July 1. Mrs. Iris Buchanan and family, of Sylva, were visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Morgan last week-end.
