A Rich Field To Work In The Dies committee, a Congressional group employed for the investigation of un-Ameri can activities, has a rich field to work in and a rich background to support its activities. But in making its investigation, the Dies commit tee has more than one example to prove that there is a cause for any and all un-American lsm. a cause' that was ignored by the Mother Country back in the eighteenth century, a cause that was ignored by brothers in the early sixties, and a cause that is being ignored in America today. According to Mr. Dies' way of thtnkuig, George Washington was a Bolshevik. Tom Jef ferson an agitator, Jim Madison a follower of Karl Marx, Abe Lincoln a dictator. The records show that revolutions were underwritten "toy" them Today, we look back upon the American Revolution as a justified answer to the domi neering policies of Great Britain. Today, we look back upon the Civil war as a justified step toward unification. But what we can't see to day is the cause for much of this so-called un Americanism There is a cause for this un-Americanism. We have prepared the ground for a good crop of opposition to the American way of doing things And we dare say that the Dies commit tee will accomplish little until it strikes at those causes that gave rise to un-American acts It is true that the foreign element is being in fluenced by home ties in its opposition to Am erican principles But we forget about the times when thousands of foreigners were brought to these shores to beat down wages of American workers and enhance the profits of the few. Now that the boom is spent, we expect the unemployed to hibernate and live on nothing until their services are again needed. The Dies committee may uncover some start ling happenings, but when its work is complet ed it will have accomplished little to prevent those happenings Being an Observation on Our Senatorial Representation Heretofore, few people have given Senator R R ("Our Bob") Reynolds much serious thought Evidently proceeding on the general theory that if the North Carolina senatorial representatives couldn't be of any help at least they wouldn't do any harm so long as Reynolds was there to vote against Bailey, and vice versa, the votes of the state have just not both ered to try to find out whether the long-wind ed mouthings of "Our Bob" had any meaning or not. In other words, each was there as a neutralizing force for the other; and like it or not, that plan has worked out pretty well. However, in recent weeks, Reynolds has step ped completely out of character and grabbed off a few headlines for himself by some of the most asinine palaver about foreign affairs ever handed out, even in Washington His staunch est supporters have been given concern in the past two weeks by his speeches, which, in com parison, make the brayings of a barnyard jack ass sound like words of profound wisdom from the gods themselves. As long as Reynolds pro vided the comic relief as expected, everything was lovely, and he was even reelected last fall; but now, when he tries to sound off in a serious vein, he succeeds only in making himself and his supporters ridiculous. Washington political observers must be com pletely mystified as to how the same electorate could have chosen two men as widely different as Reynolds and Bailey to represent them in the United States Senate. However, our obser vation is that the people of North Carolina are not nearly so much concerned about electing both of them as they are as to whyinhell they ever elected either Where Has It Gone? We have concerned ourselves with the huge expenditure of billions of dollars for relief dur ing recent years, and paid little attention to the money went. Some say it was all wasted. But wasted or judiciously spent, where did the money go? It must be admitted that hu man suffering was alleviated as the billions were dished out by politician or paymaster, but after rt left the relief man's hands where did the money go? Two and one-third billions of dollars were spent for materials, and the goods were bought at a profit to the seller. The money passed on somewhere, the profit-maker apparently turn ing to the ranks of the conservatives to attack the administration's program of relief. After passing on through the hands of the manufac turer. the money went into somebody's hands, no doubt, but in our intricate financial system it is difficult to understand whose hands are clutching the money It is a settled fact that it is not going back to the government because each budget is off balance. Somewhere in. our financial structure, the flow of money is clogged up, and those who are holding it have well demonstrated that it will not flow again until they are assured a big fat premium from every dollar that passes through their hands. A Gross Misinterpretation Charlotte News. The young men and women of the North Carolina Democratic Club in Washington are cing the Washington Evening Star for having misrepresented Robert Rice Reynolds, or rath er with having allowed their columnists, Jo seph Alsop and Robert Kmter, of "The Capital Parade," to do so. Before us lies the column in question. It charges that, 1?Robert is the most conspicuous exam ple of the mountebank-statesman in our time. (We suspect that is right.) 2?'That Robert campaigned in an old Ford and denounced Cam Morrison as a caviar-eat ing rich man. (That is a fact.) 3 That North Carolina elected him for non essential reasons. (We think that is true. Rea sons like their dislike for his picture of Cam Morrison as a Tar Heel who had got too good to eat hen eggs.) 4 That he has stuck firmly to non-essen tials since, such as his fight on aliens, who long ago ceased to come here in any numbers. (That can be documented.) 5?That he travels a lot. (His feet do itch.) But then they go on to declare that he spends all his time eating, drinking, and playing la dies' man. Time was, certainly. But now it is simplv a base libel. He hasn't kissed a movie actress this year. And Robert?we have it on Robert's own word that he no longer drinks. And if he eats at all these days, we can't un derstand when. For it is plain from the Con gressional Record (at $60 a page) that the great man spends at least 23 hours a day making speeches on the Senate floor?about non-essen tials. Row, Boys, Row! Charlotte News. There is one tax that no man objects to ? a tax on the other man. Indeed, our whole tax creed may be summed up in the jingle: Oh, Mr. Legislator, don't tax me! Tax that fellow behind that tree! In this good year 1939, the "fellow behind that tree" would appear to be the jobholder, Federal, state, or municipal, who has been the mouse-quiet beneficiary, of a reciprocal tax-ex? emption. That is, the Federal government has lefrained from taxing the salaries of state and municipal employees, and state governments have refrained from taxing the salaries of Fed eral employees. Mr. Roosevelt pays a Federal income tax but 110 New York state tax on his $75,000 a year. Governor Hoey pays a North Carolina income tax but no Federal tax on his $10,500 salary. ?? But now the House Ways and Means Com mittee has given a favorable report on the bill to subject state and municipal salaries to Fed eral income taxes and to permit the states to do likewise. And the rest of us who may have been paying both taxes all along will be kind enough not to cheer, but secretly pleased. For it is written that he who lives by taxation shall perish by taxation, and also that everybody who is in the same boat must take his turn at the oars. : ?' ? ? . ? '? Candor in Congress -? Christian Science Monitor. Senator George W. Norris said what is pop ularly described as a "mouthful" when he stat ed in the debate on confirmation of Harry Hop Itins, "Congress is more to blame than anyone else for putting the country in a shape where politics can get into relief." Very likely the man who has been named for Secretary of Commerce could have done more than he did as WPA Administrator to re move the influence and example of politics in relief. But if this is true of Mr. Hopkins, how vastly more true it is of Congress. A great deal has been said about investiga tions of relief. One interesting angle to find out about would be, how many members of Congress their political managers or hench men have tried to bring pressure on the relief administration to keep certain of their friends tn local administrative positions or cause poli tical activity to be overlooked? This inquiry ought not to be made by a congressional com Very Little Lespedeza Sericea Grown In N. C. Due the fact that it takes two or three years to get lespedeza sericea to the stage where hay can be cut very little is grown in this state Roughly, there is not over 5,000 acres grown, and this estimate is rather high. There were, however, a total of 802,000 acres of the annual lespedeza grown in the State last year, which makes this the third crop from the standpoint of acreage grown last year, being exceeded only by cotton and corn NOTICE OF PUBLICATION North Carolina, Martin County.
