Address 8® communications to The Enterprise and not individuri members of the firm Friday, January* 15, 1943. -fir Snipers President Roosevelt’s recent message to Con gress was acclaimed by the low and mighty alike throughout the world where there is still a semblance of freedom, but withl^^he chief executive’s hearing the snipers were itching for the slightest opportunity to fire a shot. The op pressed peoples across the world read a new hope into the message, and millions were pleas ed, but not the few selfish souls that hang around Washington as professed representatives of the people. It would appear from the reports that this nation was starting a new legislative term in a great way, with harmony and unity prevailing. But not so, for the facts under the surface point to a hectic period, one in which the war program might possibly be hampered and the march of progress reversed. That all is not wfell in Washington is borne out in the pointed refusal of Republican mem bers fo the House to applaud a reference to the Commander-in-Chief made by Speaker Sam Rayburn in his opening address to the represen tatives last week. The Republicans and dis gruntled Democrats cheered when Rayburn de fended the record of the last Congress, but when he praised the President as the American best qualified to lead the U. S. A. to victory, the Re publican side of the House was silent. No such ugly demonstration of partisanship during an initial session of Congress could be remember ed either in time of peace or war since the Cleve land Administration. Partisanship means something when it is shown such conditions, but there are er factors bobbing up to muddle the situation and make for serious trouble ahead. The lid is slowly rising, and the opposition, including a few disgruntled Democrats, is making ready to open fire on the administration and many of its leaders. The leaders are already known as “arrogant bureaucrats” who are to be accused of ursurping the functions of Congress,* bianieu for tax increases, shortages and rationing. Then there is the disgruntled democrat, Rep. Eugene Cox, of Georgia, who comes out in a pre pared speech and declares that “government by bureaucrats must be broken and broken now,” possibly because1 the affairs of a radio station in Cox’s home town and one that he is allegedly interested in, are to be investigated by the Fed eral Communications Commission. Clare Hoff man speaks in opposition to the Justice Depart ment’s prosecution of alleged pro-Axis propa gandists. It is understood that some of those Hoffman is defending distributed speeches made by Hoffman and which the Department con tends was a subversive movement. Martin Dies, the rabble-rouser, is calling for more money to carry on what has been termed a wild goose chase and vast spending spree. He proposes to expose quite a few people and create unrest and disunity. The blocs are moving in and the lob byists still have their favored seats. With Leon Henderson out of the way, the stage apparent ly is being set for a real dog fight and a wild push toward inflation. Then there w'as the caucus squabble over Senator Josiah Bailey’s bid for a place on the Senate steering committee. It was a clear cut squabble between the administration support ers and the wtfi?.. Rai}.ey • was • described as the definite loser. What will Mr. Bailey’s reaction be as he goes about his duties these next six years? We only wish we could believe that Wash ington is united, but the party margin is too close for the opposition and their disgruntled followers to pass the opportunity by to discred it the highest officer in the land and other rec ognized leaders, war or no war. A Challenge To Agriculture One of the greatest challenges ever flung at any one or any one group is now facing Agri culture in the form of an urgent plea for a ten per cent increase in general food and feed pro duction. How that challenge will be answered and the spirit behind the answer will make his tory of a lasting nature. If the individual pledges his all in meeting tiie challenge and displays his patriotism to the world, Agriculture will have laid a claim to its rightful place in our nation’s economy along with the corporate interests and the labor or ganizations. If the individual stops to haggle over prices and consider his own welfare while millions of men march to the sound of war drums, he will emerge as a slacker. We should remember that we ars in a temposajy. emer gency. that possibly we could drag through it with a small loss and the gainsdur ing normal times. If we choose to forfeit our claims to consideration in the future by selling out for a mess of pottage now, dark days are certain to folium _illenge, offered hnni# and groups h*vt their problems, toflWThe fight ing men have a problem, one that involves lift and death, Reports from the firing line declare that they are sacrificing tneir rights and even their lives in an effort to soive their problem. The question back here is, we accept%ac rifices anj| try to solve the problem that is ours, or will we sit back, hackle over thU and that, ehaar about,. everything? There was some dissatisfaction expressed ov er ^it- oil peanut program last year, but, for the most jyfcrt, the farmers of Martin County dis played an atfcnirahje patriotic spirit and ac cepted any loss connected with the crop as a part of their contribution to the war program. Jhe-A'hallenge will in all probability entail hardships but when the ing men return from the fighting fronTTnere are few farmers or others who would want to face them and admit that the job was not well done. Martin County lias never trailed when it came to accepting a fair share of the task im posed in war or peace. It was represented in the French and Indian War, the Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, Spanish-Amer ican War, the World War and now this war. It was fartherest at Gettysburg, first at Bethel and last at Appomatox. The boys on the battle fronts, on the high seas and in the battlewagons of the air are maintaining that great tradition. We on the home front cannot afford to let them down now. i m * * Attacks Disguised Senator Josiah William Bailey, strongly sug gesting that all criticism should be withheld by the press and other agencies, still continues to play his old game. He reserves for himself the right to criticise, but worse than that he dis guises his attacks to thw’art the cause of the common man. The senator, just as many oth ers have done, has gone down the road for certain interests and challenged the cause of the common masses. Up in Greensboro, the Senator declares, work ers were charged exhorbitant rates to join a union. It was a racket, to be sure, and one that was condemned by responsible labor leaders. But the senator does not stop when he attacks “the inherent rights of the common worker. He would destroy those who seek to better their lot in life. But while the senator uses one ex cuse to condemn all workers, he overlooks so many things that have an ugly appearance on the other side of the fence. Mr. Bailey, as far as we can learn, has not issued any public state ment, bombasting the Anaconda Wire and Ca ble Company for defrauding ihc government and endangering the lives of American sailors and soldiers. Mr. Bailey hasn’t bothered to con demn unfair practices chargeable to the corpor ate interests. Certain things have had a rotten smell in the trust rooms and in and around Washington, but the senator accepts them in his usual stride, overlooking so many things that have admittedly delayed the war pro gram. If Mr. Bailey is interested in attacking ser ious rackets and championing that which is right in the sight of man, let him pick up the words of Attorney-General Francis Biddle and broadcast them to the people. Speaking about the Acononda Wire and Cable Company’s sabo tage allegation, the Attorney-General said, “This is one of the most reprehensible cases of defrauding the government and endangering the lives of American soldiers and sailors ever to come to the attention of the Department of Jus tice.” In Russia, one responsible for such a state of affairs would be yanked before a firing squad. In this country, our sympathetic senators pol itely turn their heads and talk about a $50 un ion racket. Where does Mr. Bailey stand on Vice Presi dent Henry Wallace’s program advanced in behalf of the comm an does Mr. Bailey say when a representative of the United States Treasury declares that after America’s big corporations pay their 1942 taxes they will have left about seven billion dollars, an amount 75 per cent greater than that left after they had paid their 1939 taxes? He says nothing about that, but he picks up a few isolated cases where rackets exist and shouts and shouts. No one should be denied the right to condemn a racket anywhere, but when we condemn one and ov erlook another we are to be charged with in consistency. It will be a healthy sign when the good people of this country condemn all rackets whether they be in labor unions, on the farm, in the fi nancial world, in the board rooms of the cor porate interests or even in government itself. But we are merely creating and aggravating dis unity when we condemn a racket in one quar ter and overlook a more glaring and far more serious racket in another quarter. This busi ness of disguising our attacks against the com j mon good of the common masses is sickening to those who appreciate fair play. "DRANG NACH 0$TEN"-1943 CHRISTIAN Bible school, 0:45 a. m.
