MATTER.
THE CONNALLY
RESOLUTION
It is now generally under
stood in this country that after:
the last war 80 per cent of our
people were in favor of some sort,
of international cooperation for j
peace and that this intention was ;
thwarted by a minority group in!
the Senate.
But other countries do not un- j
derstand this so well. They only j
know that after the armistice we j
withdrew and left them to pick
up the pieces. In fact, as time j
went on, we made it extra hard ■
for them to pick them up. There j
were plenty of faults on their j
side but they were up against 1
a world that could not be stabil- ;
ized because we were one of the
biggest factors in it and nobody
knew what we would do next.'
When we did move it was finally
to follow a policy that helped to i
produce a crash in every indus- j
trial nation in the world includ-1
ing our own.
Nobody can blame our allies ]
for wanting to know whether we
are really with them this time. I
If they can count on us to stay!
with them, to share the problems
and responsibilities—and inci- j
dentally the profits—of a peace- j
ful and stable world it will make |
them fight better now, give them j
hope for the future, make them I
franker and more responsive.
Our own people, too, who now j
feel tricked by the aftermath of I
the last war, will have a better j
spirit, a more bouyant determin-!
ation if they are assured that this j
time their sacrifices will bring j
blessings to succeeding gener-1
ations.
For these reasons the Con-[
nally resolution, though no doubt!
overmild and cautious, has great I
importance here and abroad as a i
declaration of faith that cannot
and will not be repudiated or
betrayed.
It is with pleasure that we
print Senator Bailey's forthright
declaration in favor of the res
olution. We can only hope that
Senatoi Reynolds, if he cannot
feel the importance of the issue,
will at least react to the wishes,!
the hopes and the prayers of
mankind in North Carolina and
in every quarter of the globe.
CITIZEN SOLDIERS AND A
FREE PRESS.
The Army is checking up ac
cording to the New York Herald!
Tribune, on the extent to which 1
soldiers are reading "Under Cov
er". This is the best-selling ex-,
pose of the pro-nazi, fascist
other 'shirt' groups in this coun
try. It describes the parts play- J
ed in various movements by Fa- \
ther Coughlin, by George Syl-,
vester Viereck, the Nazi agent,
by Congressman Ham Fish, by
Senator Robert Reynolds and
others. The investigation is re
ported to have been undertaken
"at the request of a member of j
Congress."
This investigation is to be con
demned on every ground. It is j'
a stupid waste of the army's time.
Far more important it is a dan- 1
gerous infringement of the sol- | ■
diers' liberty and of the freedom''
of the press.
This is a citizen army. Mili- J
tary discipline we must have. ,
But since when is a soldier not 1
free to read without investigation j
whatever other • citizens read?
And since when are reputable |
publishers not to circulate their i j
product among the people of this;
democracy without having the
purchasers of that product in
vestigated by an agency of thej
government?
WILL WE STOP INSULTING
OUR FRIENDS
To repeal the Chinese exclu
sion act will admit no more than (
105 Chinese a year. Tnis coun- 
try ought to be able to stand that, t
Actually we will probably Iv £
richly benefitted by the Chinese \

The stick carried a young live pos

who do come here. But even if
! they should turn out undesir
ables it would be a small price
to pay for the friendship of one i
of the oldest wisest and sturdiest j
peoples history has known and a j
nation that has been fighting in,
our common cause longer than'
any other.
The Chinese understand our
problem. They do not ask to be
admitted in any numbers. -But
they are proud of their country,
of their people and of their his
tory as they have the right to be.
They ask no favors. They ask
only as a matter of decent rec
ognition that they should be
treated by us on the same basis
as we treat other peoples of the
world.
