' v tr frcwraiNS weexly, Hertford, k. c, fejday. - Novcrrrii 22, PAC3 TtfO 1949 looSg at By Hugo S. Sims, Washington Correspondent WILLKIE GIVES VIEWS FAVORS "FIVE STEPS ORGANIZES OPPOSITION THE TWO-PARTY SET-UP RE-ALIGNMENT INVISIBLE. F. D. R-'S PERSONAL VICTORY SOME DISADVANTAGES CAN WILLKIE REFORM GjO.P.I In hi3 address to the American people on Armistice Day, Mr. Wen dell Willkie pointed out that nearly fifty million people on November 5th kept constitutional government "tri umphantly alive" in the United States when they exercised the "precious right" of the. franchise , This demonstration of the "free sys tem of government" in action, 1h suggests, must give hope to millions upon millions of other people throughout the world. The defeated candidate for the presidency took cozizance of the bitterness in the campaign, saying "Many things were said, which, in calmermoments, might have been left unsaid or might have been worded more thoughtfully." This bitterness, he asserted, was a "dis tortion, not a true reflection" of what is in our hearts. Later, in his address, in a conciliatory attitude, he pointed out that both candidates promised to keep this country out of war, unless attacked and added, "Mr. Roosevelt was re-elected and this solemn pledge for himK I know will.be fulfilled." With this introduction, the Repub lican candidate discussed the politi cal situation in the United, States, emphasizing the "fundamental prin cipal of the democratic system that the majority rules" and adding that a "vital element in the balanced operation of democracy is a strong, alert an wdatchful opposition." He stressed the right and duty of the opposition, under a two-party system, "to debate the course of our government," but he cautioned his follower sagainst falling "into the partisan error of opposing things just for the sake of opposition." After discussing some of the issues in the recent campaign and stating the principles of the opposition, he proposed "five steps for our govern ment to take immediately" including (1) Reduced Federal expendi tures except for national defense and necessary relief; (2) The financing of new plants and machineyr fo defense', by pri vate capital as iar as possible; (3) Taxes to approach as nearly as possible the pay-as-you-go plan; (4) Adjustment of taxes and government restrictions "to take the brakes off private enterprise, so as to give it freedom under wise regulations; and (5) A change in the Govern ment's "punitive attitude towar.l both little and big business men." ' Then, referring to the "most im- portant immediate task" before the nation, the defense of America, he CatMMIWAWAWA-aAHB-i A FRESH SHIPMENT OF Yflpuaimg Monies JUST ARRIVED!

Moreover, he urged materials and eauinment to Great Britain to the limit of our ability but with due regard to our own de fense." Here he stressed the fact that no candidate, in a presidential campaign, ever went further "in at tempting to create a united front" on this point. Referring specifically to the or ganization of the opposition, he sug gested that he "thousands of or ganizations" formed during the cam paign be continued, although not in his name, because he did not want "this great cause to be weakened by even a semblance of any personal ad vantage to any individual." Signifi cantly, he added, "1944 will take care of itself," and asserted that "my fight for those principles has just begun." The above, we believe, is a brief, but fair, summary of the address by the defeated candidate for the presi dency of the United States. While he could outline general principles for the opposition to follow, the applica tion of these principles depends upon the Republican members of the Senate and the House. Just how the legislators will translate these prin ciples into the political life of the nation will only be apparent in the conduct of the Republicans during the next few years. Mr. Willkie did not overstress the importance of an active opposition party in this country. . So far as the presidency is concerned, he offered himself and his principles to the people in an effective and courage ous campaign. Whether his leader ship of the Republican Party wffll be strong enough to control the course of the Republican members of Con gree sremains to be seen. For ex ample, he recommends taxes to ap proach the pay-as-yougo plan, but it will remain for the Republican con gressmen to implement this princi ple, if the Administration does not, by proposing specific taxes and vot ing for them. It will not be enough for the minority party to espouse general principles without offering specific application of these princi pies to existing situations. In this connection, Americans might as well realize that both the Republican and Democratic parties are seriously divided by factional differences. Each party has what might be called a Liberal and a Con servative group. Nor should it be overlooked that in the recent presi dential election, the people were ask ed to choose between two Liberal candidates. Mr. Willkie's acceptance of most of the New Deal legislation, in prin ciple, removed them as campaign is sues but this should not cause us to lose sight of the fact that there ex ists, in Congress, and throughout the nation, a large bloc of Conservative strength. Whether Conservative Democrats and Conservative Republi- ? i?W.L, s n f m i e , Cdis hm On State Highways "North Carolina needs a Marshal Foch to tell motorists that 'they shall not pass'," Ronald Hocutt di rector of the Highway Safety Divi sion, declared this week in comment ing on the fact that several people were killed in the State last month as a result of improper speeding on the highways. - Hocutt said close to 30 persons have been killed in North Carolina this year as a result of passing or attempting to pass on curves, on the crests of hills, at intersections and at other places where common sense should have told them it was danger ous to pass. "Knowing where to pass is import ant, but it is Just as important if not more so to know when to pass and how to pass," Hocutt said. "When you have overtaken another car and wish to pass it; be sure that there is sufficient space ahead. Give a left turn sjgnal to notify the driver behind you that you are changing lanes. Ihen sound your horn so that the driver in front will know that you intend to pass. Look to the rear to see if any car is pass ing you. Always pass the other car on the left. A good way to judge when you are safely past a car is when you can see the left headlight in your mirror. Then you can re turn to the right hand side of the road." Hocutt listed the following as places where passing is not only dangerous but is forbidden by law: On hills, on curves, at intersec tions, at railroad crossings, within 100 feet of a bridge, and when anoth er car is approaching. "The use of good judgment and common sense in passing is one ol the surest earmarks of a good driv er," Hocutt stated. cans get together for a presidential campaign or not, the Conservatives in Congress will often cooperate by their votes, even if they belong to different parties. For years, political observers have been predicting a realignment of po litical strength in this country based largely upon.the belief that a Liber al leader will ttrct Liberals in both parties and that, naturally, an oppo sition Conservative will attract the support of Conservatives. This, pro cess made' little, if any, progress during the recent presidential cam paign, although . there were some signs tnat Conservative Democrats withheld their support from Presi dent Roosevelt. The' course of the campaign, es pecially Mr. Willkie's declaration for certain "national policies", resulted in a triumph for much of the liberal legislation of the Roosevelt Admin istration. The re-election o& -" the President, however, is to be correctly judged as a personal tribute to him. While his tremendous majorities of 1932 and 1936 are things of the past, Mr. Roosevelt exhibited a wide appeal to the entire nation and by a handsome lead. His victory in the face of the anti-Third Term tradition attested the personal hold that he has upon the affections of the people but it by nd means represents the permanent strength of the Democra tic Party as a Party. The President had many factors against him, in addition to the Third Term issue. , His party organisation was disrupted by the defection Jim Farley, his labor support divided by thi enmity of John L. Lewis, Conservative Democrats open ly opposed him,- the Conscription Bill in peace-time was hardly a political asset and his forceful statements- of his views about the totalitarian gov ernments tended to take, away from him supporters of German and Ital ian descent. In the face of these handicaps, he conducted a short campaign but, nevertheless, won a uecisive victory. ip To some extent, the campaigniof 1940 was a replica of the campaign of 1936, with the issue being the President and-voters being for him oi against nL , Mr. Willkie was the beneficiary of the opposition, antag onism-and dislike for the President- Included in the Willkie supporters were many diverse elements of oppo sition, combined in a determination to unseat tne rresident. ? The political task which now con fronts Mri Willkie and to which fee has addressed himself is the effec tive wedding of this opposition into coherent party of principles. To be effective and. become strong political force, the opposition must be cement ed by something stronger than the "partisan error of opposing things iust for th lake nf nmvmittrm which Mr. Willkie decries. V Consequently, it will be Interesting to watch the development of the ef fort: to coalesce opposition elements into a unified and harmonious aggre- i ' : AT WOODLAND , SUNDAY' ,'l . ,Th Rev..
