Studdert Kennedy. ' 1 The Conservative New Deal TPHAT the New Deal will not abandon its objec " lives was made clear by President Roosevent in his address to the American Retail Federation Mon day night. Addressing a banquet audience of 1,000 small town and big city merchants, the Chief Executive appealed to business leaders "without a big stick," and in a persuasive mood, for help in working out national problems in a spirit of good will. Emphasizing the conservative character of New Deal policies, the president declared that keeping consumer buying power up to production was "the; milk in the cocoanut of. all business, big and lit tle," and that the nation was in an excellent position "to go forward into a period of greater production and greater employment." He spoke of those op- , posed to his vital aim of spending to increase pur chasing power among lower income groups as "radicals willing to gamble with other people's prosperity and other people's lives," as would be the case if the nation returned to the economy of the period preceding 1933. Opposition to the dole and pride in WPA, "with 95 per cent of projects good and 95 per cent of the people properly on the rolls;" recognition that the present tax level must be maintained in view of the unbalanced budget, and insistence that it would be lad for business to shift any further tax burden to the consumer, were other high lights. Perhaps no business purpose was ever summed up as in the closing words of this speech on con servative democracy: , "More and more we seek the making of profits by processes that will not destroy our fellow men who are our neighbors. "This is one of the functions of your government. It seeks your co-operation in the extension of that ideal. It is open to your advice and your help- be cause it believes that its fundamental ideals and yours are' the same. "That is why I came to you not in the spirit of criticism, but with a simple plea for your assistance as American citizens in working out our common problems with goodwill and with 'the maintenance" of the ideals of peace." Folk Music and Dancing for King and Queen "1X7ESTERN Carolinians are .interested to learn '"" that a feature of entertainment being arranged by President and Mrs. Roosevelt for the delectation of King George and Queen Elizabeth is an exhibi tion of the square dances and folk music of this section. These dances and tunes, like their exemplars, are of direct descent from old England, tracing back to the times of Shakespeare and preserved in more or less modified form through the British ancestors of our mountain people. This is an example of Brit ish inheritance and old world survival that should be of special interest to the British monarchs. As they are symbols, not only of government but of the British people themselves, this feature of enter tainment is a symbol of the historic kinship of our peoples. . We 'feel sure that this young couple, on their first visit to our shores, who carry their duties of royalty with sucfy genuine grace and friendliness, will enjoy with the zest of novel experience this entertainment from our section along with other things American, like the quintuplets, picnics and hot dogs. Number 21 Johnson... , .Publishers , , .Managing Editoi Business Managei As the World Turns A brief survey of cur rent events in state, nation and abroad ; the facts boiled down to a few pithy lines.

The Japanese foreign office hail ed the , German-Italian military pact with the words : "Close col laboration with Germany and Italy in the .spirit of that pact is our immutable policy. The treaty will make a tremendous contribution to world peace and progress and has our heartiest congratulatoins." Hitler's propaganda minister Goeb Dels" replying "To Britain's ' prime minister Chamberlain's proposal to renounce aggressive aims for a definite long-range policy for peace, advises the world that "there is no better argument than weapons."

And some people bring them there because they can't come by themselves. A few weeks ago J bought a case of eggs supposed to be white, from the Farmers' Federation. Vhen I went to deliver a case of white eggs to one of my best customers in Greenville, S. C, I found so much stain and dirt on them that I was made to think of a lot of church members who call them selves Christians but there there is so much dirt visible that we can't hardly call them Christians. Neith er could I call that case of eggs white eggs. I ! happened to know what farm they came from. ' On the same load of eggs I had a case of white eggs that I also bought from the Federation that 1 knew Mrs. Robert Ramsey had just brought in. They were really white and showed they had really had attention. 1 said some good things to my customer about Mr. Ram sey's family. Well, thanks to Mrs. Ramsey. Friends, we know that competi tion is getting keener all the time in every line of business. Conse quently, the trade is demanding a better grade of eggs. If we can't furnish them, other counties or states will. And to my knowledge, we people in Macon county get more for our eggs here in the county than many other places that I happen to know of.. This is my last appeal. So thank you and wishing you well. - -. James L. Young. Macon Theatre Matinees 3:30 P. M. Night Show 7:30 and 9:30 SHOWING FROM 1:30 TO 11 P. M.
