Reactionary members of Congress along with quite a few others have pointed out in bitter terms that organized labor will have a hard time explaining away the strikes. There is little that can be said for unjustifiable work stoppages, and we again say that those responsible for sab otaging the production program should be dealt with and dealt with severely. While the reactionaries are talking about or ganized labor and its task of explaining many of its acts, what about the Congress? Only last year, under the Ruml plan, billions of dollars were forgiven, the relief in the main going to the big and mighty. The forgiveness program was advanced while men were fighting. It was a strike against accepting an obligation, while not to be compared with the sacrifice made by the fighting man which was, after all, commen surate wit hthe part we should have had in the program at home. And now Congress comes along and refuses to levy taxes that should be levied. It is a strike, and a big one, too. It is placing the high dollar profit ahead of country and war and those fighting that war. And the best the country can do is shout about the victory scored by Con gress over the Executive. It is a sad day in Am erican history when business, i'd by reaction aries and the disgruntled cheers tax evasion even while millions offer their lives on tire bat tlefront. We could give every dollar profit, lose our investment and still be ahead of the service man in this game of war. A Solid Plat form Formally opening his campaign for Gover nor, Dr. Ralph McDonald in Winston-Salem a few days ago offered a solid and constructive platform, one that has a clear ring and one that the people of North Carolina can well support. There’s no pussyfooting about the man's stand, and no wild promises are advanced as bait for votes, He offers a sane andnrogressivepro ■grsrti, Wfe'Mvv. is :* . > *. ■ >' whims of a certain clique or cliques, but one that is close to all the people and to the welfare and advancement of North Carolina. The people of North Carolina know' where Ralph McDonald stands. They recall the frank and timely challenge he flung at the staid op position eight years ago. The State was reward ed for his efforts then, and now the people have in his candidacy a splendid opportunity to gath er still greater benefits-. Dr. McDonald's record is an open book, and he stands where he has always stood, pl°ading and working for a progressive march. He rec ognizes as the immediate need an all-out sup port of the war and peace effr~ts fallowed by an emphatic leadership in a sound program of progress in all fields. Educational progress, a major postwar road building program, increased farm income ade quate pay for State employees, full provision for come tax, payment of the State General Fund Debt, development of aviation, and a strong i i ill If———P<^ "/Uiffifff: S of a twenty-four point program setting forth the Winston-Salem candidate’s views on major issues. Other points in McDonald’s program were: Full postwar employment; industrial devel opment; fair treatment of capital, labor and the public; improvement and expansion of State institutions; improved health and hospital fa cilities;; promotion of social welfare; protection and development of natural resources; opposi tion to any State tax on land; freezing of a $20, 000,000 reserve; a balanced budget; honest ac counting of all State funds; better representa tion on State Boards for farmers and women; honest and capable appointive officials. H ill They Sto/i There? Two young war veterans,.back from the Med iterranean, visited John L. Lewis a short time ago and hit the labor leader in the snoot, accord ing to some reports. Possibly their action was not in keeping with respect due the law, but few if any have expressed their regrets. The important question now is, Will the two vets stop there? There are a lot of snoots that need to be hit if this country is going to unify its effort in support of the war program. For instance, the young men could go to the high places and strike the profiteers light in the snoot. They could work for a long time strik ing the snoots of those big contractors who frowned on straight contracts and demanded cost price plus or nothing. Then the two youths could go to several plants and do some snoot attacking where defective war materials were turned out in the name of greed and increased profits From there the youths could go to Flor ida and do a great deal of snoot work at a sin gle race track where 17,000 vacationers found time to gamble at the rate of a million dollars a day while humane organizations pleaded for donations and industry reported one of the greatest labor shortages ever known. And then | the two young vets could do some more snoot striking to help obliterate the shameful six bil lion dollar alcohol bill for 1943. If they are not too weary after handling that task they could start working on the racketeers, the operators of tlie black markets, the chiselers and those contemptible liars who think they are smart in getting more than their fair share of rations. Yes, hit old John L. in the snoot, if you would want to violate the law, but let us remember that there arc many, many other snoots that need attention, that we are only developing class hatred when we attack one for its faults and overlook the errors of all the others. institution A hick low?: has two classes: (1) nobodio* and (2) those who can overdraw at the bank Rich mond News-Leader.
