THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30. 1913 Over The First Hurdle Quoted deliberately and with purpose in the Sunday Times was the prayer of the Rev. James Montgomery, Chaplain of the House, who on the day that House debate on the Fulbright resolution to facilitate “ap propriate international machinery to main tain peace” was at its most acrimonius pitch, truly said, “We are turning one of the great bends of history”. It is now a part of our history and a cred itable part that the Fulbright resolution has been passed by. the House by an averwhelm ing majority. The resolution now comes up before the Senate and it should be a point of pride to North Carolinians that one of four distinguished American editors who on Sunday afternoon spoke out in a discussion of the importance of the Fulbright measure both as a potentiality and as an actual fact or in the postwar world - was elder states man, Josephus Daniels. Said Daniels, inthe National Broadcasting company’s program on “Congress and the Peace”: “There is (however) a 'fly in the oint ment’ of the Fulbright resolution as passed last week by the House of Representatives and now before the Senate ‘the fly’ is the fact that there was added to the ori ginal resolution the surplusage of four words, ‘through its constitutional processes’ .... The objection to that phrase is that it opens a door through which a four-horse team of obstruction can be - may be - driv en. “The action of' the House ought to be followed by a constitutional amendment re quiring the joint vote of the House and the Senate for ratification of treaties” Quoting Woodrow Wilson's prophecy of ‘another struggle in which as many millions will have to die as are necessary to accomp lish the freedoms of the peoples of the world’, Daniels concluded: “In the light of the literal tragic realiz ation of the holocaust forecast twenty-five years ago, it is unthinkable that Congress should fail to grasp the opportunity now offered of making this conflict truly a war to end war. That deliverance is within our reach”. Other side of the picture, which in a measure explains the fear that Daniels has, despite his brave words, is contained in a New York Times’ comment on “Senate Pres tige,” although the hope expressed by Dan iels is likewise implicit in the Times’ atti tude: “It is predicted in Washington that the senate committee on foreign relations may decide to scrap the Fulbright resolution and write a new resolution of its own on the sub ject of American postwar foreign policy. This new resolution would say essentially the same thing. But it would say it in some what different words. And the theory is that by this device, the Senate would pre serve its prestige as the branch of Congress invested by the constitution with power to ratify treaties. “We hope that there is enough good sense in the Senate committee on foreign relations to prevent it from following this course. There is no prestige to be gained in this way. There is only prestige to be lost. The Fulbright resolution is’ a good straightforward declaration which says what needs to be said at this time. It has received strong bipartisan support in the house. It deserves the same kind of strong bipartisan support in the Senate. The only effect of rewriting it will be to give ou t al lies precisely the impression that ought not to be given—namely, that for reasons of prestige the senate is never satisfied with any job it does not do itself and that, for these reasons, it will proceed to ‘rewrite’ any treaty or agreement that is submitted for its approval. “In this important matter the senate has had its chance and muffed it. Twenty-five weeks have passed since it created a sub committee to write a resolution of this kind. For 25 weeks, when the world was waiting to hear the voice of Congress, that subcom mittee never peeped. The best way to re coup the senate’s ‘prestige’ now is for the full committee to approve the Fulbright resolution and strongly recommend its adoption. Both Daniels and the New York Times are in effect saying that the Fulbright res olution offers the United States of Ameri ca an escape from the bottle-neck of parti san politics in world affairs. It was that bottle-neck, wrongfully brought up from the grave of George Washington and put to a usage of which the first President would have been ashamed, that in America wreck ed the League of Nations and the leadership i in it that the rest of the world was at that time willing to accord to Woodrow Wilson — j and to America. This moment in which unrelenting fight ing is being carried on on all fronts is no time to “get soft” about peace, but it is to be hoped that American citizens will think now about the reality of the time when peace will come. The Fulbright resolution ! appears to be a step toward that moment and letters to Senators Bailey and Reynolds reflecting the opinions of Tar Heel citizens would seem to be in order. It is one thing to have righteous anger that Pearl Harbor incidents such as those depicted in “Salute to the Marines” happen ed to us: it is another to plan for a world delivered from such horrors. We shall fail in our duty, both to those now dead and to ! the as yet unborn, unless we do so plan. It ( will again be our fault if we fail to incorp orate into our plan a small part of the ideal ism of the Wilson that Josephus Daniels so plainly remembers. The House last week got over the first ; hurdle. The next move is up to the Senate, and to us as citizens, who can tell the Sen-; ate that we approve or disapprove. WITH OTHER EDITORS | Note On Education Greensboro Daily News If there was any hope that internecine | rowing within North Carolina school system would be ended by establishment of the state board of education, that hope must ; have been given considerable jolt by Raleigh revelation as to what is already happening j in the new school set-up. Let’s take a look for that information at this paragraph from Lynn Nesbit’s capital 1 correspondence to afternoon papers of the ! state' having to do with approaching retire ment of Nathan Yelton from the board’s comptrollership to join the armed forces: j Truth of the matter is. Yelton is getting out just in time; to avoid a real showdown between him and the State Superintendent Clyde Irwin. Rightly or wrongly popular con ception is that Yelton represents the busi ness man control of administration, while Irwin champions professional teachers, as | proper source of ultimate authority in school j work. Majority of the school board supports i the business man idea. So far as the board 1 is concerned Yelton would have won a show down. What the effect of such an open fight would have been upon the school sys tem as a whole is problematical. Comptroller Yelton’s departure for the army patently will not end the strife which Mr. Nesbit protrays, as it will simply be carried over to his successor and board members will have to assert themselves as indicated. What we are most concerned over, however, is the effect of this internal struggle upon the schools and their effect ive and efficient operation. As longtime first-friend and champion of education the Daily ’News is led to re mark—looking straight at Superintendent of Public Instruction Clyde* Irwin and the education politicos—that the schools be long to the whole citizenry of North Caro lina and that their sound business manage ment, aside from professional attainments, is a public demand. The state highway com mission is not composed of engineers ,the University board of trustees of educators, the unified hospital board of phychiatrists, ad infinitum. Our own considered opinion is that Mr. Irwin and his cohorts still have M. C. CLAYTON, $2.00 $1.25 .75 $2.50 PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO. N.

Tammany was old, older than either the Democratic or Republican Parties. It envol ved at the close of the Revolution when the new Nation attracted hordes of freedom loving Europeans—and individualists from Erin; and Tammany becalne a sort of pater nalistic big brother that got jobs on the pol ice force for the hearties, and supplied coal for the widows in return for a political loy alty. There came the time of Boss Tweed . . . and Thomas Nast. There were the gaslight days and chowder and marching clubs, clambakes, and A1 Smith Birthday Parties at the home of the hot dog at Coney. In evitably, too, came new generations—and questions, and a word: graft. The new gen erations became workers, and taxpayers, and not a few, idealists. There came the Fusion, and La Guardia, and a budget, and civil service, and David Dubinsky’s garment workers, 250,000 strong and clamoring for a home. There came a day when the name Tam many was a political liability and had to go. And there was an etching behind a door, “Tammany in Its Glory,” and a Wiskinkie named Kelly who blinked an eye as the mov ing man carted it away.
