THE BREVARD NEWS. BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY AUGUST 4.,- 1922 a5aSg5g5a5a5an5gg5aara55gS5a5g5a5g5?Jg55Sg5g5H5ESc!5aH5g5H5H5Z5^5gg !About Three Generations From the Pioneers the Real Exodus Begins By J. R. HOWARD, American Farm Bureau Federation. J About three generations away from the pioneers the real exodus be gins. A little visiting back and forth with the members of the family who had cast their lot in tlio cities and towns ftiakes the children wonder if the lot of the brother to remain on the family homestead is the one to bo cherished. In the meantime the descendants of the first farmers have eitlier lost out in the demands of city life and are finding their mess of pottage as day laborer?, or they have prospered and forgotten the farm from which they received their birthriglit. And most of them do prosper. It lias been said that 94 per cent of the bading citizens of one of our large East ern cities v.ere broxxght up on a farm. Of a group of 100 representative men, commercial and professional, in Chicago, I found that 85 per cent came from the country. More than 60 per cent of the men and women listed in “Who’s Who” are likewise from the country. The successful ones return to the country and build palatial horres und estates and constitute the hi;rhly educated iandloid clju?s. Is the coud- tr}' slowly difTerentiating into this and the propertyless laboring classes? If America becomes the home of land owners and peasants we will have failed our Pilgrim fathers miserably and inexcusably. The American Plan as Established and Enforced in San Francisco By H. B. ALLEN, Industrial Ass’n of San Francisco. The American plan as established and enforced in San Francisco by the industrial association is distinct from the old-time, so-called open ehop. Whereas the open shop, wherever enforced, has meant the entire absence of all restriction or restraint upon emjployers w'ith respect to wages paid, hours of work and other conditions of employment—thereby giving op})ortunity for unscrupulous employers to deal unfairly, the American i^lan in San Francisco has set up machinery for reasonable con trol of these matters in the interest of the public. In other words, it really has been a plan, definitely conceived and definitely carried out, in the interest not of any special group or faction, but in the interest of the three parties to industrial relations: the public, lal)or and the employers. The American plan is predicated upon the proj)osition that the public interest is paramount to that of any other community element, and that neither labor nor capital, nor any other faction or class, should be allowed to take action that will jeopardize that interest. And, as the public inti?rest actually would be jeopardized as much by uafaimess of aTiy kind visited by the employers upon Inbor or consumers, as by auto cratic labor union control of industry, the American plan preTents either of these things taking place. For the First Time in America's History We Have a Military Policy By GEN. H. J. REILLY, Editor Army and Navy Journal. For the first time in the history of the United States we have a mili- tar}" policy. By that I mean we have a definite plan, passed by congress, part of the law’ of the land. That plan or policy is the amended national defenses act of 1921. This act provides that in time of war the army of the United States will be one army. The three components, the regular army, the National Guard and the reserve forces, will be amalgamated. That army will be primarily ooni})ose(l of what we choose tr> call citizen soldiers, in other words, men who are ordinarily civilians but who have had a certain amount of train ing in peace time and therefore are fit to go on a battlefield and can be put on a battlefield without being slaughtered indiscriminately and use lessly the way we have always done in the past. Now one of the provisions of that act has to do with the citizens’ military training camj>s, in which citizens receive a certain amount of military training. If the young men who want to go to these camps are going to them, the ci^lians of every community have got to enooura^ them in every possible way. Five Conditions Necessary in Europe for Satisfactory World Trade By HERBERT HOOVER, U. S. Secretary of Commerce. The following five conditions mi^st be established in Europe before world trade can go on satisfactorily: First, such political relations between the states in Europe them selves as will produce an atmosphere of peace and destroy the atmosphere of war. Second, the reduction of armament, not only to lessen government expenditures, but to give confidence of peace. Third, the intergovenimental debts, including German reparations, must be fixed upon such a definite basis o'* paynio li; of i’Jiterest and prin cipal as will create reasonable confidence tliat payments will be met. Fourth, the balancing of budgets, more through reductions in expen ditures than bv the increase of taxation; and a cessation of the conse quent inflation in currency and short-term bills. Fifth, the ultimate esta!)lishment of the gold standard with the assist ance of cither crcdits or gold loans, and, where necessary, the acceptance of diminished gald content in many old units of cun-ency.
