NOBLY SAVE
When Bernard Baruch ended
his speech before the United Na
tions representatives with the
words of Lincoln; “We shall
nobly save or meanly lose the
last best hope of earth,” he lifted
the subject of atomic energy and
the bomb from the dark threat
ening realm of fear into the light
of positive courageous thought.
To speak in terms of hope took
courage; it took also a profound
faith in man, in his will to good
and in his ability to express that
will in practical attainment.
There was a certain shock of
surprise in Baruch’s concluding
words. We have heard so much of
terror, of what will happen if
this new force is not controlled
and an atomic war breaks loose,
that it would have come more
naturally to us to think of this
proposal as a “last chance” in
stead of a “best hope.” The dif
ference is significant. In empha
sizing the positive aspect of this
overpowqpring problem, a chal
lenge is presented to rouse the
faintest heart. That is good psy
chology, if nothing else. “L’at-
taque, toujours I’attaque” said
Foch. He knew that a challenge
implies the ability to win.
There is an interlocking aspect
to this problem qf the control of
atomic force, each part of which
reenforces the other. It exists in
the very potential of the threat
itself, a fearfulness so extreme
that it may provide its own anti
dote. It took fear to force the al
lies to cooperate to beat Germany
and Japan. Not until they were
directly confronted with the
threat to their survival did they
pool their resources of men, ma
teriel and brains, and, together,
win the war. As soon as the
threat is removed their unity be
gins to dissolve. Now comes an
other greater threat. There is no
possibility, this time, for isola
tionism to raise its head; by npw,
the stupidest, narrowest Tobacco-
roader of the middle west knows
that not even he is safe. The
bombs can be dropped anywhere,
sent anywhere and if war starts
no country will have time to pre
pare. The threat to all, this time,
is clear and unmistakable from
the start. Already it has caused
this wise American, backed by a
great majority of his country
men,, to suggest that his coun
try voluntarily give up the secret
of the bomb and abrogate a great
measure of its national sove
reignty. He knows, and most of us
know, that only through interna
tional cooperation can this threat
be mastered.
The recent sessions of U. N.,
and the meetings of the foreign
ministers have shaken our faith
in the good will of nations. The
bickering, the arbitrary decisions,
have caused many to doubt if co
operation is really possible. But,
in the face of this, atomic force
the problems of Iran, the Pacific
bases, Palestine, dwindle to the
vanishing point. What price
Trieste in the scales with Hiro
shima!
It may well be that this fearful
thing will do what fair words,
“appeasement” on one side or
“toughness” on the other, have
, so far failed to accomplish: prove
the means of uniting the United
Nations. If so, it is indeed the last
best hope of earth.
pressions; others that a radical
change in our economic system
will do the trick; while others
grimly look forward to the use
of force, such as the power of the
government to draft labor.
There is no cause for such hys
terical pessimism: the American
capitalistic system is not break
ing up. It is simply undergoing
a period of adjustment. Like a
man who becomes more set in his
ways as he grows older, capital
ism is finding it difficult to keep
up with the changing conditions
qf the post-war world,
The very fact that strikes ard
possible is proof that capitalism
is alive and growing. For strikes
would not occur if labor was
strong enough to dictate its terms
to management without the need
of striking, or if management
could prevent labor from using
such forceful methods. There is
still some balance between the
two.
It is a little-known fact that in
1945 the U. S. Conciliation Ser
vice handled 25,907 disputes and
settled 95 per cent of them while
the plants continued to produce.
It is true that the majority of
these disputes were small and un-
dramatlc, nevertheless the ques
tions at issue were on the whole
the same as those behind the ma
jority of strikes. If they could be
settled to satisfy a small number
of workers there is no reason why
the same would not be true of
larger numbers. "The fact that so
many were settled is encouraging,
and seems to prove that our capi
talistic system is still a going
concern. Labor and management
can, and will work things out.
At the moment the government
is doing little to bridge the gap
between the two. The U. S. Con
ciliation Service is a large and
influential organization, but, as
its name implies, has no author
ity to end disputes. About the
only weapons it has are those of
persL(asion. All an arbiter can
do is to make his investigation
and reach his conclusions and,
from then on, turn on the charm.
He talks in low and soothing
/tones to both’ sides, trying to
draw them together, to keep
them meeting, to find the basis
of some common ground. He may
hand out cigars, commiserate
about the heat, match fish stories
or talk baseball, but do more
than concjlliate, he cannot.
It would be a mistake certain
ly, to underestimate the power
of personality; in this case it has
been 95 percent successful in pro
moting the harmony that has led
to agreement; but oi/r concilia
tion service should be given the
authority to enforce their, deci
sions when all else fails. Strikes
lapre illogical; Solutions relgched
on the basis of an endurance
contest cannot be lasting or satis-
factor, piling up an ever-grow
ing mountain of ill-will and bit
terness. When men cannot agree,
the decision of the U. S. Con
ciliator, reached after carefully
unbiased study, must be made
to hold, by being given the
weight of government enforce
ment. Only so can the Concilia
tor go that extra but all-
important five percent of the
way. —NB

and thrifty. A large percentage
of the colored people own homes.
Many have built on lots in the
Washington Heights (develop
ment, where a public sale was
held a few years ago.
They have two churches and a
good elementary school. The high
school pupils go by bus to Car

people are eager for an educa
tion.

studies at the State School for
the Blind in Raleigh and has had

PERSUASION PLUS
Since the discouraging day
when strikes started again, with
the steel, auto, coal and railroad
workers deciding that the war
emergency was over and it was
time to go all out for the things
they wanted, we have gotten
into the habit of thinking of the
labor-management situation as a
hopeless impasse. Some are com
pletely defeatist, believing that
no rational solution can ever.be
reached and that we are doomed
to a cycle of booms, strikes, de-

Land Transfers In
Sandhills Testify
To Good Prospects
Real estate transfers, listed in
the Court House at Carthage, for
the period May 1 to June 15, show
considerable activity, with most
of it centered in the southern
end of the county. Of the twenty-
six property sales listed, eleven
involved Southern Pines lots,
four were in Aberdeen, three in
Pinehurst, two in Knollwood.
Southern Pines people selling
and buying land in town were:
M)t. and Mrs. Montesanti who
sold two lots on Pennsylvania
Avenue to their nephew, Joe, Jr.;
Capt. and Mrs. Ben Bradin, who
bought from John R. Shobert the
corner lots on Vermont Avenue
and Ridge Street njext to the
land on which their house is lo
cated. The Emile A. Wilson prop
erty with the pretty Spanish
house on Orchard Road, was sold
to Maxwell R. Forrest. Mayor
O’Callaghan, needing a little
more efbow-room, has bought six
lots along Delaware Avenue.
They join his home site, on the
corner of Delaware and Ridge.
The property, which now runs
down to the Highway, was for
merly owned by E. H. Mills.
More land in Pinedene changed
hands lately. The Areys, J. D.
Senior, and his .wife, have sold
lots 19 and 20 and part of lot
21 to their son, Robert F., while
