THE ENTERPRISE Published Every Tuesday and Friday by the ENTERPRISE PUBLISHING CO. WILLIAMSTON, NORTH CAROLINA, Advertising Rate Card Furnished Upon Request Entered at the post office in Williamston, N. C., as second-clast matter under the act of Con gress of March 3. 1879. Address all communications to The Enter prise and not individual members of the firm. Tuesday, April 24, 1945. WIWTlTITtTITliHTCTrriTiTrnTrnTITnTBBITH Friends of Democracy? Southfield Herald. Senators Bailey and Hoey voted for the con firmation of Henry Wallace as Secretary of Commerce when the issue finally came up on | the Senate floor recently, but North Carolina voters in judging the legislative record of their senators should not forget that both Bailey and Hoey were lined up with the conservatives and reactionaries in the anti-Wallace camp on the first test vote a few weeks ago. At that time the question before the Senate was whether the body should act on the Wal lace appointment prior to acting on the George bill which provided for a divorcement of vast lending powers from the commerce department. It was generally conceded that Wallace would not be approved without enactment of the George bill. Bailey and Hoey voted to consid er the Wallace appointment first, thus showing their opposition to the former vice president. That vote was much more significant than the one recently. The North Carolina senators have a right to oppose Henry Wallace if they wish, but North Carolinians as a guide to their future exercise of the suffrage right should carefully weigh the meaning of that opposition, for the Wallace fight was far more than a mere controversy ov er a personality. The attitude which Bailey and Hoey took in the fight—their actual opposition to the confirmation not their recorded vote for j the confirmation on the final test—gives an in i sight into their governmental philosophies and i raises the question whether they are strong be I lievers in true democracy* When the North Carolina senators fought | Wallace they fought a sincere, Christ an gentle man who is condemned in the circles of special privilege and monopoly because of his passion to make democracy a practical, workable v/ay of life instead of a mere ideal useful only to political orators. They fought a man who enunciated his be lt: t oii Jaituarj 25. The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or mines of the nation. The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation. The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living. The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad. The right of every family to a decent home. The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health. The right to adequate protection from the eco nomic fears of ola age, sickness, accident and unemployment. The right to a good education. The Baileys and the Hoeys did not oppose Wallace because thev thought he was a "dream er" or an impractical “visionary,” but because of a fear that he actually possessed the ability, the honesty and the courage to put into prac tice governmental measures guaranteeing to the American people these economic rights of man.
