Address all communications to The E/jterprlse and not individual members is to The E/jt« of the fugp. Tuesday, February 23, Jf913. Regimentation And JVo Regimentation Abraham Lincoln pointed out that no nation can exist half slave and half free. And neith er can there be progress or understanding when one class would reserve for itself privileges and expressions of freedom and deny them to an other class. One class would have another class make all the sacrifices, and heap criticism and contempt upon the heads of that class for not accepting sacrifices willingly while they ad here to normal customs and individual sched ules. The inconsistency of it all is bearing down heavily upon our every effort to win the war and restore peace. This inconsistency is glar ingly pointed out by Eddie Rickenbacker, the great hero. He was recently quoted by the New Vork Times as saying “America’s front-line sol diers do not want and will not accept regimen tation of their lives or planned economy.” At the very same time, Rickenbacker was quoted as calling for the draft of labor for service in the war industries and on farms. These inconsistencies, not limited to Ricken baeker by any means, are all the more glaring in that sacrifices for the economic royalists are not to be considered. Until we willingly accept and without any compl;1 MMfea&cvcr saerme* man .hardly expect others to sacrifice. Madame Chi an g Kai-Shek's Speeches Possibly at no other time in history has a more stirring appeal been heard in the halls of Congress than the one addressed to the law makers by Madame Kai-Shek recently in be half of suffering humanity. The appeal was sup ported by real facts, facts that must have made many of the lawmakers feel ashamed of their past records of isolationism and their do-nothing policy during the five years China struggled along against the enemy—our enemy. Hard boiled Senators were said to have brushed away tears from their checks for the extemporaneous speech to the Senate fired a double charge that must have jarred the old codgers’ consciences and touched the deeply buried cords of human sympathy. There is some doubt if immediate aid can be made available to China; we muffed the golden opportunity to aid those suffering millions and fc^t^^ur^oshion^ears^gaJ3u^even^hougl^ no additional aid can be given China in her greatest hour of need, Madame Chiang Kai Shek’s appearance before the Congress will ’jut have beenirvvain. Su re1 y, the courage and thought advancecWfy me iittie ChnaSewoman impressed the leaders of our nation, and con vinced them that the friendship of lowly peo ple is worthy cf cultivation, that through coop eration and understanding it is possible to build a better world. If is ’■pasonahio jt». as - a result of her visit, America comes invite China to the peace table not as a special guest but as one to participate in the peace /ST ■- ’*■ •• h sue Lobby Checks After riding rough shod over North Carolina's House of Representatives, the wine lobby was checked, temporarily at least, in the Senate re cently. The lobby W3?.,2£££nte4t with open arms in 'the House where the ban on sales *vas4i4trd for the entire State and where the boys agreed to boost the potency from 14 to 20 per cent. Over in the Senate the racket was shot full of holes with amendments. Now, it is to be seen if the wine lobby can muster enough strength to stage a comeback and dominate the activities in the Senate. It has been suggested among the common people that if a $6,600 wine commission is set up in Raleigh, many will change their party There hasn’t been much heard from the lob byists in Raleigh this session, but a review of the legislative trend will well prove that they arc* there .'lax^uuc?ifflinRPW^!eenT*iiecieu lur the elite few, but not one penny has been lifted from the tax burden resting squarely on the shoulders of the common masses. And, mind you, the reductions for the few were suggest ed and reductions for the masses were denied before the nine months school proposal really entered the financial picture. What the people of this State need is one group of men to go to Raleigh and represent them one time. But it is apparent that the peo ple’s representatives will have to go there ov er the dead bodies of lawyers and spokesmen for special interests. A Pipe Dream, Is It? The Atlantic Charter, swaddled by the Bev eridge Commission as the economic royalists partly point out, is nothing but a pipe dream, they say. Possibly, the Atlantic Charter is nothing more than a pipe dream. It hasn’t been tested as yet. It is not strange, however, that millions are for it because they have ♦as^J^j^b.itter nicotine flowing from the over-indulgence in a system that lays the foundation for another war before the current one is finished. This nation and possibly a majority of aii na tions are not hankering after a system that will bring chaos and more bloodshed; they are yearn ing for peace and understanding among all peo ples. Even if the few will recognize the inher ent right of all men to freedom and opportun ity, much will have been accomplished toward restoring sanity to the world. Possibly, lasting peace would follow in due time if greed and special privileges could be eliminated from the existing order of things. No new order or spec ial ism would be necessary if the bitter taste could be supplanted by a spirit of understand ing. — . <*■ —-— Not Dead, But Wishos llv W'a* There is much doubt il Adolf Hitler is dead, despite his fade-away act following the report telling of his soldiers’ skidding across the ice covered steppes of Russia. Many believe that Hitler is not dead, but all believe that he wishes he was dead. NOTICE!
