Friday, March 23, 1934 A Gift?And the Reason The edtior acknowledges a gift from the Wall Street Journal of 100,000 German marks of the post-war vintage. This, of course, should be appreciated but for one thing, and that is the whole thing was for the purpose of deception. The Wall Street outfit does not want our govern ment to increase our currency, and it is deliberately trying to fool people by sayingit wil mean worth less money?a falsehood toe gross to attempt to fool people on. Of course, we admit that money has been very high, which was one of the principal causes of the nation being tumbled into a state of panic and star vation. The fact that the post-war German marks, which the New York banks helped sell throughout this country, are now worthless is no argumentHhal paper money in our^country in the proper amount is not good and a needed policy to restore financial conditions to stability in our own country. .Perhaps there has never been a more clever trick played on the world than that which Germany played when she put her printing presses to work printing marks by the millions, billions, and trillions, to sell to our own gullible New York suckers, who in turn sold them to folks throughout the country. Germany did this to finance her war, and when she had flooded the world she denounced these big issues of marks as worthless and refused payment on them. But, mind you, she did not repudiate them until she had sold Wall Street sharks boatloads of them and got their good cold cash for them. No; Wall Street. We refuse to trust you. You want all the money based on your little pile of gold. The people, on the other hand, offer their corn, wheat, cotton, the things which feed and clothe man, as the basis of exchange. The lands, the mines, the minerals, the rocks, and rills, are more perpetual than all of our gold, and will be here to sustain life and enrich the bodies, minds, and souls of man long after all gold has been lapped up by the greed of the covet ous grabbers. Now, Mr. Wall Street, tell us how many worthless mark., fraudulent bonds and stocks of foreign nation; you have pall ed off on the people of this country un h. gu.e of your superior wisdom and fair deal ing. \ ou have too many sins at your own door tc s i ely gu.de the race of men?you are too greedy tc guide. Something Is Wrong It reported that some men in Martin Count -that ir-, at least one man claims that he is workin for $1.50 per week and supporting a fantjly of si: If this statement is true then there is still somethin wrong in our land. I-or, after all, this is the wort kind of slavery, the kind that makes a man bow dow under the pressure of the cries of hungry children. No man can well afford to employ a man at sue a wage and sleep well at night. Because the know edge that children go to lied hungry and sleep col at night is enough to disturb the heart of any orv The Country Newspaper Christian Science Monitor. Turning from city newspapers to small-town pre? exchanges that come to the editor's desk is like ste| ning from the slums, full of vice, into an an ok fashioned garden sweet with lavender and thyme ar the scent of perennial flowers. The pages of b dailies are so full of murder, thievery, immorality, ar selfishness that the better news is obscured by the glaring shatterings of the Decalogue. One puts tl papers aside with a feeling of depression and hear ache that the world is so full of terrible and unhapf things. Then picking up the papers that record the ha pen'ngs of the little towns around us, one gains ? newed faith in life. Here are set forth only th which uplifts a community?the activities of the bu ness men, the church items, the happy social gatlu ings of the people, the marriages, births and deatl fanners' items and all the thousand and one dally < currencies that make up the simple annate of the grt common people, who are really the foundation of tl broad country of ours. Snngthnes people speak lightly of the country nex paper, but it is one of the most potent and uplift! factors la our Trying To Help Much yrndntinn it being in about what is going to becoww of the tobacco contracts that seem not to check properly. ~TJ Doubtless the government made a mistake in go ing back three years, instead of only one year, when the stalks were on the ground and could have been surveyed by the government representatives. It Kerns that some farmers, or at least a few, have increased their claimed acreage just 30 per cent, so . when the 30 per cent reduction was made, it still left I them the same acreage they had last year. Now, many large farmers are advocating a hori zontal cut on the just and unjust alike, which would manifestly be very unfair to all those who have hon estly and truthfully listed their acreage and pound age, as most farmers have done. It certainly is not right to cut a farmer who plant ed four acres last year and is listed for 2.8 acres this year any further, while the man who planted 7 acres in 193% put 10 acres in his list this year and took a cut of 30 per cent, which leaves him 7 acres, the same as he had last year; and yet it has been done, accord ing to reliable reports. ^ I If the government goes deeply into these matters, it may embarrass some people very badly. It would be a good thing if the government would post the acreages in convenient public places in each com munity so that the neighbors all may know just how their neighbors are farming. The government is trying hard to help the peo ple, and they ought to cooperate. "Reasonable Profits" Omaha World-Herald. If free industry is to continue "sensible and reason able profits" are indispensable. There can be no re employment, there could be no employment of any kind long continued, if profits were wiped out and private industry were conducted at a loss. Eventu ally, the employing capital would be dissipated, as it has been during these last few dreadful years in mul tiplied thousands of instances. Lack of profits as well as unconscionable profits have alike contributed their millions to the breadlines. This country is now fighting, under the Roosevelt leadership, for the preservation of a modified and puri fied and strengthened free industry under private own ership. The victory depends upon" insuring sound in vestmet and fair profits for capital, employment at fair wages for labor, and fair prices to the consumer. Each is an essential. The Best Means Sampson Independent Naturally, we think the newspaper is by far the best means of advertising. It can be said that an ad in the newspaper goes into the homes. And that can not always be said of circulars and other forms of advertising. And, as a rule, the newspapers, ad vertisements and all, are read by the members of the family. Under the caption, "Newspapers Welcome," G. B. Williams, editor of The Dunkirk (N. Y.) Ob server, well says: "Did you ever stop to think that people read news papers because they want them? The newspaper is not forced on any one. People pay for it, and pay for it regularly. Whole families await it eagerly and quar rel good-naturedly over their individual turns to read it. Each praises and criticizes it as one is prone to praise and criticize the other members of the family. That is why its sales force is immeasurable. Door to door salesmen use all kinds of ingenious devices to get inside the house. But the newspaper is a welcome guest. One type of selling is forced, the other type is received cordially. Door-to-door hand bills are instrusion upon the privacy of the home, but the newspaper is invited in. Its messages are read avidly and its advertisements are considered a pari of these messages. "The newspaper is so definitely a part of the peo pie, so much an accepted member of the family, thai its pages constitute the finest advertising medium ye devised." Statesman Besetk Charlotte News. In a spirit of pre-election generosity yesterday th Senate loaded the independent offices appropriatioi bill with all manner of amendments. Veterans, job holders, members of Congress, et al, came in for at tention, and when the damage was figured it ran t an estimated $350,000,000 annually. Ardent advocate of raises for everybody was Sena tor Reynolds. Not only did he favor terminating a once the pay cut imposed upon Federal employee: whose salaries were maintained at pre-depression let els all during the lean years when private employer were taking cut after cut, but he would have nothin to do with an amendment offered by Senator Bora to continue the reduction on salaries in excess ( $6,000. Senator Reynolds, therefore, was intereste in raising his own salary. Senator Reynolds voted likewise in favor of Sew tor Long's bill to pay the bonus. His explanation f< so doing is entitled to take rank among the classic: The nation's debt, the Senator points out, alreat! approaches JO billions. This is an enormous amoui of money;?ergo, there is no reason why it shou not be made more enormous still. Senator Reynolds has been among the most e pensive luxuries North Carolina has afforded itself many years. Because it was done with Cameron Mr rison and because it thought it wanted to be wi North Carolina willingly let itself be carried away I the breeze that swept down from Buncombe. It perceived now (alas, too lata) to have been just a other dust storm.
