C„ under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Friday, October 23, 1936 The Proposed WPA Strike Reports from reliable sources forecast a nation-wide strike of all WPA workers receiving less than $40 a month, the walk-out to take place the latter part of this month if the alarming threat materializes. There are many angles to the WPA situation that have proved baffling to those who would rescue the unemployed, but the main problem rests with the WPA workers. Are the workers worth more than $40 a month? They might think so mainly because it is quite difficult to live on that amount and support a family even of small size, but are they really earning what they are now receiving? If the workers are giv ing value for value for value received, surely they are entitled to consideration, but if they would drag the WPA down and turn it into a dole the relief problem of this country will face another serious situation. Despite the pending disturbance, the WPA, it must be admitted, has accomplished more than one ordi narily believes. The organization has given aid to millions, and while the accomplishments may not measure up to a high standard, much material prog less has resulted. The organization—while there are exceptions, and many of them, too—has had to con tend with workers that were turned out by private in dustry for one reason or another. Many of them have passed their days of usefulness, some are too lazy and trifling to gain a job in private industry, but they are human and must be considered. And when these facts are considered, it is seen that the WPA has succeeded in its work despite the attacks of critics and hard boiled industry, who would turn the fast-aging out of their factories to starve. Picked the Wrong Place Salisbury Post Cole L. Blease, former fiery United States Senator, and ex-Governor of South Carolina, apparently chose the wrong spot to lambast the New Deal and levy critical remarks about elections in North Carolina when he spoke in Fayetteville at the Cumberland County Fair. Press reports from that city indicate that coolness greeted the one-time fiery orator, that applause was lacking throughout most of his speech. He was greet ed with stony silence when he lambasted President Roosevelt and the New Deal; little noise was heard when he criticized the North Carolina primaries and elections, and the manner in which the people of this state name their public officers. All in all, his speech was apparently pretty much of a big flop. Cole Blease has played out in South Carolina. He was once somewhat of a favorite in this State, but those days are gone also. Anything for a Change A new innovation in radio programs is promised, the directors explaining that the latest entertainment might be called ‘ Let’s Play Games” and “Let’s Play Instruments.” This new idea, offered just now, will certainly receive a welcome, but can it measure up with the great game of American politics? Anyway, a substitute for the battles now raging in the air will be desirable. Aliens Bernarr McFadden and a few others are now wak ing up and finding the country flooded with aliens, the self-styled health man claiming the foreigners are crowding good old American stock from relief posi tions. He adds that they should be deported, and probably they should be sent back to their home lands. But the problem now centering around for eigners is not to be settled that easily. Back yonder many big manufacturers considered wages too high, and they started inviting foreigners to our land that wages might be lowered and profits increased. The sweatshop came into its own, and the surplus labor was recognized as a blessing by the numerous industrialists when dividend-declaring time came around. And just so long as the hungry went hungry and even starved to death, the slave drivers were happy, but when a great man started leading the people out of the wilderness and there was some possibility that the leadership would cost something, McFadden and others started growling. They would bundle up the underdogs and set them adrift in the Atlantic, and to aggravate a bad situation apparently they would feel right about it. There is some doubt about the ownership of this country, anyway. Probably, measured in the right, some of the aliens have a greater moral claim to a spot here than do many industrialists who have ex ploited natural resources, justice and contributed to a large extent in reducing millions of humans to serf , aom. It is just another case where McFadden and other 1 anti-Xew Dealers think in terms of cold dollars and not from the standpoint of a helpless human being. Just as long as Mr. Roosevelt is in the White House aliens will continue to offer a problem, for they love ; to live in a place where a great leader is pressing for- j ward in the interest of humanity. If Landon enters < the White House next January, the alien problem j will be settled, for not only the aliens but naturalized j citizens also will pack the ships for other shores. j When labor gets scarce, and it won't be long now 1 before it will be just that way under Roosevelt, watch out for men of McFadden's type extending another invitation to the Dagoes, Japs and others to come to this country and help recreate sweat shops. 1 Lookit, Colonel! Philadelphia Record From the advertisement of a Chicago newspaper, in the current issue of Printer's Ink, an advertising ( trade journal: “Here in Chicago, the world’s second largest market, storekeepers are getting back their pre depression smiles. People are milling in the streets—with crisp new packages under their ■. arms. Cash registers jingling. Truck clunking. And between the banks of Michigan Avenue the old “Gold Stream’’ of shiny new autos is at high ! tide again. Chicago is showing more come-back, < faster than any spot on the map!” j What Chicago newspaper is it which waxes so joy- j ful? ( It is the Chicago Daily News. Yes; this ad is printed and paid for by the newspaper published by j Colonel Frank Knox, Republican candidate for the Vice Presidency, the same Colonel Knox who declared, in his speech at Allentown: “No life insurance policy is secure; no savings ac count is safe.” Two Lines of Thought Roosevelt’s deeds are to be believed more than the words of Landon Knox, A1 Smith, and the balance of the crowd of anti-New Dealers. There are but two points to consider in the entire line-up: F'irst, remember your own condition during the Hoover administration; think of the prices you got for your farm crops; think of the homes that were sold under mortgage; think of the gang that was in power then, and the promises they made, and how they broke them. Then go to the other side of the picture and see who restored the banks of the coun try; remember who set business on its feet and who set the wheels of business to turning again. Think again who did it; and go a bit further and see who it is that is fighting the New Deal. You will find it to ] be the few rich people who promised so many rich j corners soon to be turned during the Hoover admin istration, and not one promise was ever fulfilled. That same gang is trying to get back into power by abusing the New Deal. They perhaps think the poor folks have forgotten all these things and will fall for their falsehoods again. How Will They Vote? Smithjield Herald The Republican party in this campaign has appar ently adopted a method of campaigning which is in keeping with its political philosophy. The little fel low has abandoned the stump entirely, while the party pins its faith to a few big guns, such as Thomas Dix on and Frank Knox. These lords of politics hand down the brand of doctrine pretty much as the lords of always disbursed prosperity to the nation. So far as appearances go, the average Republican politicians is as zealous for his party as in former cam paigns; and yet the change of conditions under the New Deal is so striking as to belie the position they have taken. At their speakings and caucuses, they appear, as a rule, neatly and well dressed, with ev ery indication of having come from comfortable, hap py homes. They attend these meetings in new auto biles, and not a Hoover cart is in sight. This is a vast contrast to the picture they made four years ago. Their raiment, along with that worn by the adherents of every political faith, then bespoke the cruelties of the then existent depression; and, worse stil, their troubled faces wore a look of despair over lost homes and debts they could not pay. Fiction has never played upon a stranger trait of human character than that exhibited by the Repub lican Party, which fights the very source from which its members have derived new hope and a new life. - Party loyalty is a strong and strange force which car ries men far from common sense and reason. But the little fellows are saying little; it is the big guns who are doing most of the talking. How will the little fellows vote? More Confusion What is proving more confusing than any other one thing in recent years in this country is all this straw voting underway all the way from a Ballyhack precinct to the biggest city in the world. And the whole business should be stopped, including even those polls that favor our man. The country is going to have an election on Tues day, November 3, so why can’t we be patient and wait for the real facts? There are at least four na tion-wide polls underway now, not to mention the many that are localized, and, as far as we can learn, not a single one of them agrees with the other to even a reasonable extent. The nearest approach to a true semblance of conditions is found in the returns from the South, and they vary there. The whole business is characteristic of our make-up We like to talk about something that ain’t and skip over that which is. There are many valuable things every voter should know before he goes to the polls next month, but he won’t find them in a life-time study of straw votes or biased propaganda. NOTICE North Carolina.
