House Republican Loader Joseph Martin,
in a speech a few days ago at Arlington, Va.,
called on the voters to “throw of the spend
ers" and return a GOP Congress to Wash
ington in next fall’s elections.
Senator Harry Byrd, parading under a
Democratic banner but actually playing the
role of Czar, came over to North Carolina
and yelled just about the same thing Joe
Martin was yelling about over in Virginia,
but one is admittedly a Republican, and the
other calls himself a democrat.
Representive Martin, following the usual
line employed by his party, is at least con
sistent. But that bird from Virginia sports a
different kind of meat under his feathers.
The Taft-Republicans and the Byrd-Demo
crats are proposing in a bill to order the
Commander-in-Chief to open the spigot and
let the billions flow. The law would make it
compulsory for the Commander-in-Chief to
spend every penny appropraited for mili
tary uses.
Defense Secretary Johnson has effected
savings of millions of dollars in military
spending without impairing the services.
More could be and will be saved by the De
tense Secretary, but not if the special law is
passed, ordering every pennjv appropriated
for military uses be spent
It is difficult tor one, after following some
of those fellows in Washington, to tell who’s
who and to what party they belong.
It would seem that some are for the big
boys, that party affiliation means nothing.
And that goes lor one Mr Hoev in North
Carolina, the senator who voted more with
Taft than he did with his own colleagues,
and whose record Mr. Willis Smith, candi
date for the Senate, has approved without
prodding.
A ot Eli dibit"
Winston Churchill made some gains but
did not \v;n jn Lngfand's recent political race
It is just as wo 11 that ho did not win sinoo ho
had ruled himself ineligible to load the way
to atomic peace.
When M*. C..archill, apparently for his
own selfish political reasons, proposed a mis
sion to Moscow in the cause of peace, he over
looked his record so blazenly spread before
the eyes of the world at Fulton, and his sec
ret acts at Stalingrad time. When the Rus
sians were fighting the life-and-death battle
at Stalingrad, Mr. Churchill, it has been
established, was drawing up a plan discus
sing how the “measureless disaster”of "Rus
sian barbarism was to !)(' avoided bv a Union
of Western States after the war . It has been
pointed out that such an act committed in
the hour of Russia’s greatest need, did not
lay the foundation for a passport to Moscow
in 1950.
Looking back at the slab-in-the-baek
maneuvers, the Russians today are expected
to be suspicious. And it could be that tire
seeds sown by Mr. Churchill and so many
in our country are flowering into cold war
today.
Surely, there is enough leadership in the
world today to weed out the snares and cul
tivate the plants of peace, to bring them in
to full maturity. *
Invonsisten!
An industrialist outfit points out the dun
ger lurking in the proposed Spence Act—H.
R- 275tS, declaring that it would “sovietizc”
this country and every business and every
individual in it. Naturally, the outfit is
against the proposal, and rightly so.
However, the same outfit was yelling just
a short time for the government to step in
and take over the coal mines. The outfit
would’have the government step in in some
instances, but not have its own toes trampled
upon,
Just Roastitif!
Willis Smith, candidate for the United
States Senate, is boasting about “huge stacks
of letters" in his office, ail of them presum
ably praising his candidacy. The candidate’s
publicity man did not mention any numbers
and no comparison can be made. But we will
wager that, while the number of letters re
ceived by Mr. Smith does not equal the num
ber of votes for Herbert Hoover in the depth
of the great depression, they come mostly
from those who did vote for Hoover.
From this quarter d appears that Mr.
Smith is using the Democratic label in Hie
current campaign for the benifit of the few.
Clyde It. Hoey directly or indirectly
fought President Franklin Roosevelt for
years, refusing to even mention the Presi
dent's namc> in his speeches. Candidate
Smith comes along and stamps his O.Koh
on Hmcv’s record. It is hard to believe that
j the people* of Neirth Carolina will listen to
I the rabblers and theiughtlessly stick a dagger
j in the late President’s back.

Our Kx/tlauulion
The sael record written by France in
Wen-Id Weir II is gradually being explained
away. Morality all but disappeared in parts
j of the once great nation.
A press report just recently released, says,
"Wine-drinking Frenchmen, long held up as
models of temporance, are dying of alcohol
ism ed a rate that has their government \yor
I lied.”
Many people hailed France with “awe as
the country where you never see a drunk on
I the street Apparently French alcoholics
| were drinking themselves quietly to death
| at home.”
The French nation, liquor-sogged and bog- |
I ged down in immortality, bowed down bo- |
fore Hitler’s marching armies. Just as Hitler
I found France a push-over, so will Com- j
munism. The same thing that made it easier
\ for Hitler will make it easier for the spread
I of communism. And strange to say that
1 those who had nerve and guts enough to
challenge Hitler’s hordes, have been liqui- !
1 dated m driven to undercover, leaving the t
| all-ton weak to lead France in her greatest
hour of trial*.
Poverty Is llesl Triend oj i'.omniiinism
VVliat makes converts to Communsim?
Proverty. If anyone doubts that, let him i
look at two reports from Rome.
In a talk to parish priests, Pope Piu^ Xil
described the “miserable conditions” among
the Roman poor. Because of their poverty,
the Pope pointed out, priests “encounter
disillusion and bitterness” when they at
tempt to “sow the seed of Christ.”
In Southern Italy, a crowd of poverty
stricken peasants "invades a town hall,”
demanding jobs for the jobless farm work
ers and land for the landless. They "seize”
land from landlords, and this is not the
first time this has happened recently in
Italy.
Peasants of all shades of political opin
iivn” are participating in these “invasions”
and “siezures,” the report says, but Com- I
! munism is the gainer.
Poverty is the best friend of Communism >
hi*any country.

This Is a banner .Sign/
Labor
Of all the “privately-owned” farm land in
the United States, 41 percent is held by only
3 percent of the “individual owners”. An
other (i percent is owned by corporations.
Thus nearly half of all farm land is in the
hands of corporations and “factory farmers”
I who, according to a new Department of Ag
I riculture “survey,” each own “1,000 acres or
I more.”
j These figures are so staggering that they
! are hard to believe, but they come from the
highest government authority on the sub
| jeet.
An old saying points out that, in the time
of ancient Rome, “great estates ruined
Italy.” Ownership of land by a few had
destroyed democracy in many oth ; na
tions. ami may endanger even this "Land of
Freedom.” The American ideal is "family
size farms."
I', very hotly Seems ion fused
Movies, the comic books, the atom bomb
and war planes confuse children, declares
Dr. Jessie Dell Crawford, professor ot
Princeton Theological Seminary.
There is no reason to argue the point. In
fact, the same factors of modern life have
confused many adults.
