Spanking is no longer accepted in all
quarters as a proper aid to child-raising.
Specialists in the field now agree that phy
sical punishment of children can be easily
overdone. They urge a reasoning approach
when possible or. if not. some ether means
of nonphysical correction for misconduct.
Use of the switch is advised only in extreme
cases, such as to impress youngsters witn me
seriousness ol running into the streets or
otherwise risking their lives
Concern for the health and general wel
fare of extreme youth has led to this con
clusion by the child experts. But many par
ents. it appears, aren’t ready to accept their
judgment. For two speakers at the first
J’an-American Congress of Pediatrics re
cently reported that paddling still is being
practiced generally. They say it's popular
because "Spanking requires the least brains
on the part of papa and mama.”
.... If this. Explanation pv,fr,,
around widely among the younger set. look
lor a revolutionary result. Instead of plead
ing not to be paddled because "it hurts," the
kiddies will be imploring parents bent on
punishment to “Use your heads, not your
hands."
j Thu shan itig challenge should bring over
n >tn rs ana rat hors around to the
considered viewpoint of the child special
ists. It should, but we wouldn't care to make
a bet that it will. The Kansas City Star.

News and Observer
Tobacco growers in Easti rn North Caro
lina. and elsewhere are beginning to realize
4hat their fortunes depend ii. large part
jupon the attitude of the United States to
ward other parts of the world. And what
| is true of tobacco growers is true of all other
! Americans who produce commodities which
j depend, in part, upon foreign consumption.
The facts about tobacco are exceedingly
simple. nouieMie^demand is 1_IJ lone.,.

arettes in greater abundance than ever be
| fore. For that matter, potential foreign de
| mand is also at an all time high, but poten
j tial foreign customers are unable to buy the
; cigarettes they desire for two reasons. They
! need other things more and dollars are even
scarcer abroad than other forms of money.
In the long run, America cannot con
j tinue to sell to other countries in a greater
I am. unt than it purchases from them. The
j recent wool tariff controversy in the Con
| gross, controlled by high tariff, isolationist
j Republicans, may have seemed to some
; North Carolinians to concern matters a lone
ways from home. Actually, the subject is
! one vitally affecting the interests of North
| Carolina tobacco growers. Australia and
! New Zealand, the largest exporters of wool
to the United States are also important cus
tomers for American tobacco and may be
counted upon to become much larger cus
tomers if they are permitted to sell wool in
the American markets. *
j The problem of international trade is not
j a tobacco problem. Tobacco is merely one
J of many commodities affected. The Arneri
I can economy is dependent in a considerable
| measure upon foreign markets. Those mar
j kets cannot be maintained unless there is a
; free exchange of goods. Had the bill in
creasing the tariff upon wool, which died
j following President Truman’s veto, be
come taw all truck between the United
States anr) Australia and New Zealand
i would have been disrupted. If a Republican

While the Jersey farmers were being of
