Daniels, New York attorney, who is spending the summer in Franklin, serves as guest editor of The Press this week. Mr. Daniels, former U. S. special attorney general, has practiced taw for half a century. Hut he was a newspaperman before he was a lawyer; and, like so many other men who have worked around a print shop, he has never succeeded in getting the printer's ink off his fingers ? as the two editorials below clearly show. He has close ties with >la?on County, having practed law here for about three years in the early 90's ? and having found his wife here. This newspaper is honored to have him write its editorials for this week. ? W. J.) r Raise The Iron Curtain ' I 'I I K House of Representative has passed a bill to appropriate millions of dollars for the relief of the Russian people ? hut made a condition that the iron curtain of secrecy that the Soviet government has kept between that nation and the rest of the world be raised. It our people are to be taxed to supply the Rus sians with food, clothing and medicine, is there any reason why we should not have representatives of the press of this country behind thp curtain, with their movements unhampered, so that we may know what is done with the money our people pay to alleviate the sufferings of our former allies? The Soviet government boasts that it is building up a military force ? of men and machines ? that is expected to be the strongest and most effective in the world. We know that the rest of the world has found that it cannot rely on Russia's express prom ises as embodied in the various conferences with Roosevelt ami Churchill. Why should we expect a change of front when she uses every technicality and subterfuge to escape from her commitments for world peace ? while her allies have made con cession after concession to bring about a working agreement to guarantee world peace? Stalin has "the voice of Jacob but the hands of Esau", seeking the blessings of peace, but determined to take the booty of war. "Your judgment is no better than your knowl edge", and Until our representatives of the press are permitted to go behind the curtain and report to the American people what conditions are in the country where there is no freedom of elections or religion rior justice in the courts, we have no right to tax our people to provide money to buy supplies for a people who may be fighting us as soon as they can recover from the last war. Russia had relations of mutual defense with Ger manv at the beginning of the war, and would have been our enemy instead of our ally if .Germany had not attacked her. She became our ally not because of desire, but because it was to her interest to do so, and her wonderful victories might have been tragic defeats but for the implements of warfare we supplied her ? and yet she has never so much as said thank you to us or told her people that we were a friend in need. ? For the sufferings of the Russian people we have ? sympathy, and hope that the men who control the lives of its millions as they see fit will divert the immense sums being invested in preparation for war into food, clothing and medicines that they so much need. But the call for help for suffering humanity comes from every country where devastating bombs have wrought their deadly work. This coun try cannot meet all these heart breaking petitions; our people will not submit to taxation enough to do so. The hand of charity (called Ions out of courtesy) will be reached out, but that charity should be limit ed to nations that will use it to feed, clothe and min ister to their people ? not to buy bombs with which to blow off the hand reached out in kindness. What Follow. The OPA? The restraining- hand of the OPA has been with drawn, and none can tell what that means." The law, as it stood, expired on Sunday night, and in the effort to extend it so many amendments were adopted that the new bill suited no one ? and the President vetoed it. Making a vigorous attack on Congress for giving him a bill that he felt was worse less than nothing, he promptly kicked it out - ? ? .. ir nw i ? * Others' Opinions ? WILLIAM S. HART The social, economic and political era of the days of the silent movies long since passed. The death at ripe old age of William S. Hart, himself once an institution in the portrayal of "Wild West" film stories, simply emphasizes "the days that are no more." "Wild West" gunman Bill Hart first came to notice In the stage realm as an actor long ago on New York's traditional theater stage. He was not too talented, or anyway not too well known in those roles. But the movies brought to Hart what he needed. He was able to ggive the public what it very much appreciated. His name became a synonym for the Western life that was begin ning to yield to another type of American civilization. With fame Bill Hart also came into substantial monetary reward. Hart's latter days, however, were darkened by personal difficulties and finally by ill-health and various kinds of sen sational court procedure in which Bill Hart was the central figure. Only a few weeks ago there was a concluding court fight over the -estate of the dying actor in many a movie gun battle. ? Asheville Times. LIKE .SOX, LIKK FATHER The old expression ? "Like father, like son" ? has been changed to read "Like son, like father." Last spring Russell Cole Seawell of Bennett, Route 5, in Randolph county, received 100 certified, pullorum-clean chicks as one of the ten 4-H boys and girls in that county taking part in the new poultry venture of the Sears & Roebuck found ation and the Extension service. In September Russell took 12 of his choice pullets into the show at Asheboro, as did the other 4-H club mejnbers, and he also took his father along to see the show. All of the pullets were sold and the money put into a pool to continue the pro ject, which this year is operating in 20 counties. What E. S. Seawell saw at the show made him long for better quality chickens on his farm. He had watched Russell's chicks closely and he recognized quality when he saw it. This spring he purchased 500 R.O.P. candidate chicks for flock re placements. When the farm or home agent casts a pebble into a big, broad lake, the wave may reach the fartherest shore. ?Extension Farm-News. WRONG PROPORTION Recent figures from Chicago give a surprising index of the way shortages add up to make a continued subtraction from the total of our national economy. The Federal Government, according to these figures, bought 20 per cent of all butter production in May for the use of the Armed Forces. On the basis of a total service force of 5,000,000, this would mean that each man in the service is getting six times more butter than the average citizen. Carrying the equation further, this means that each man in the service is getting as much as six persons in civilian life. Or, if it came to total subtraction, then six persons in civilian life would have to go without butter to make sure each man in the service had his share. Actually, what this sort of equation eventually means is not the value of the butter, but the relative value of human be ings. It seems like stretching the idea of democracy to the limit to say that each man in the service is worth as much as six civilians. Yet this Is the usual equation of an armed state, where the value of power eventually out-weighs the value of reason. ? Cleveland Times. Treasury slips To hear most folks tell it, the main business of the United States Bureau of Internal Revenue is to make paupers out of people. But now and then, as if to disprove the slander, the Bureau makes a millionaire for a day out of some dazed, bewildered, taxpayer. It was a young Navy lad's turn last week. Expecting a tax refund of some $23.00, he received a check for $555,555.55. And in the short space of time before Federal agents arrived to take charge of the prize he had dream-purchased the ship on which he stood and undoubtedly promoted himself from seaman to captain. Then, too, there is always the million-to-one chance that a Federal or State tax office isn't kidding, as just happened in Oyster Bay, L. I., where a pearl in the form of a check for $f, 097, 479 turned up in the day's mail. Since the last check for the town's share of State corporation taxes had amounted to less than $200, the town fathers could be pard oned for getting a bit excited. The sum has been verified, but is not being put in this year's budget. It takes a while to grasp a million dollars, you know ? or don't you? ? Christian Science Monitor. TIRKS FOR BREAD In order that many of Europe's hungry children may walk on sturdier little legs some American motorists will continue to ride this summer on old, not-so-sturdy tires. For wheat suffi cient to make 47.500,000 loaves of bread has been diverted to overseas relief from the making of alcohol used in the manu facture of synthetic tires. As the vice-president of the General Tire & Rubber Company points out: It will be a little longer before the average motorist can walk Into a store and pick out a pair of tires, but we have the satisfaction of knowing that we may have saved lives. That satisfaction can be thankfully shared by millions of Americans who have responded so wholeheartedly to the Famine Emergency Program. The Government was slow In throwing the program into full gear, and there has been fumbling and grumbling. But the people as a whole have taken the bread lines ? an unheard-of thing in their land of plenty ? and other restrictions in their generous stride. And Uncle Sam, who already has furnished more than 71 per cent of total United Nations and Rehabilitation Relief tonnage, is on the way to piling up a new world's record for relief shipments. However, as President Truman has emphasized: "In spite of all that has been undertaken, millions overseas are threatened with disaster." And there can be no letting down of American effort until the crisis is safely past, for not until then will the war and the danger to the peace be over. ? Christian Science Monitor. the window. Members of the House of Representatives, seek ing to over-ride the veto, lacked only ?8 votes of the necessary two-thirds: among those voting to over-ride the veto wese five members of the North Carolina delegation. The veto was "an assumption bv the President depriving the people of the minimum protection the bill, as passed, would have given. He advised, of course, that his recommendations should be em bodied into law, but the members of Congress ? a majority of them- ? have different ideas, and there is no hope of results until the President and Con gress recognize the fact that there must be coopera tion between the executive and legislative depart ments of the government. To abuse either the President or Congress is foolish. We need adjustment, not abuse ? cach did what he !>elicvccl best. Let us hope for the best ? that crushing inflation may be escaped.
