No Subscription Received Under C Month# Tuesday, Movemher 29. 79/9 Must Keep On dying There never was a time when more de mands were made for public contributions. Washington receives quite a few. to be sure, from the pressure groups and politicians, but everyday soliciting is really setting the pace. It’s no use to list the demands, for just about every citizen is besieged with petitions and demands and he knows lull well that this is the age of asking and giving. And all these demands come at a time when we are told that we are on the border of "Statism.” It is a matter of overlapping or else the welfare state is not what it is cracked up to be. It is admitted that the welfare has moved in to claim a fairly large segment of our population, but frankly its relieving hands have been applied to hardly more than the surface. And until its activities are extend ed, there’s nothing else to do but keep on giving. Just recently the Arthritis and Rheuma tism Foundation announced its fund drive for 1949. With over seven million sufferers of arthritis and rheumatism in the land, it would, seem that the government would step in and finance to the limit every possible re search project, but only meager steps are taken in that direction, leaving a thoughtful public little else to do but move in and offer aid to the undertaking. It has been suggested that if the govern ment had spent half as much on cancer re search as it did to develop the death-dealing atom bomb a cure would prevail today for the disease. Those who talk about “statism” have not been heard to complain about money spent in developing death-dealing weapons, but they draw a sharp line when public money is offered for the promotion of life living research and programs advanced in the name of humanity. We are told about instances, more or less isolated, where aid of one type or another is made available. But for each of those eases there are dozens where on aid is extended. It is in the name of humanity as evidenced in the lives of the many who liva on the outer fringe of the “welfare state” and who are not within the bounds of security that we must continue to give and give liberally to the Arthritis Fund, the TB Seal fund, the needy, and yes. even to the “Blue Babies.” We can't rest snugiv in complacency, ex cusing r>ur refusal to listen to the pleas of the needy because a few are within the scope of the welfare department. We should know full well that those who are struggling own j)pwe>' trying to escape the welfare route, are de serving of attention in emergencies. We should congratulate them for their efforts to avoid the relief roll, but at the same time, we should he w^lmo t,.> g< v> n in emergencies. The fellow who refuses to lend a helping hand is just using the welfare program as an excuse to harden his selfish heart, and he is doing more than hiding his head in the sand. Preaching Economy Pari Time The economy-minded Byrd crowd appar ently believe in preaching economy on a part-time basis. Reports state that a member of the Byrd Machine, Congressman Schuyler O. Bland of Virginia, is out to investigate a report prepared by Congressman Porter Hardy, Jr., also of Virginia but not a servant of the Byrd outfit. It seems that Comptroller Lindsay Warren charged that the Maritime Commission handed out $79,000,000 in exhorbitant subsi dies for the construction of passenger ships for six shipping lines. The House Expendi tures Committee, headed by Congressman Hardy, found the charges were well found ed and dared to say so in his report. Now, it is reported that the Byrds are out to “get” Hardy. Byrd, continually holering about “econo my" without ever telling where and how savings are to be effected, apparently is for spending when the casli is likely fo find its way into his state. liberally subsidizing the shipbuilding indus try. paying as much as one-half the cost while the 1 operator pays the other half. T'lrere is a move to increase the subsidy to 60 per cent. It is generally accepted that Byrd ques tions farm support prices and other plans designed in the name of the masses, but that shipbuilding is something else Inviting Communism Nothing serious lias happened of late, but just as soon as the "jokers” in the “freedom” granted the Indonesians by the Dutch open the way for more exploitation trouble will flare up in that part of the world, and the way will be opened for communism. Dutch East India offers a complex prob-' lem, but that problem can be settled more easily now than the problem communism will offer later. Possibly it would be cheap er for this country to go over there, buy out • the Dutch, give the Indonesians what right ly belongs to them and tell the invaders to go back home. Oui position is difficult to understand when we directly or indirectly approve exploitation and then preach and ad against communism. Crumbs War never killed a l ight idea.

Seasonal Workers Ou r 6.1 Covered Workers over age 05. who have been working in seasonal employ ment, may be entitled to Old-Age Insurance benefits when their jobs terminate, according to Marshall Barney, manager of the Rocky Mount Social Security Field Of fice. Many workers, who are regu larly employed during tire sum mer months, suffer from loss of income during the winter when work is slack.
