RAGE THRESH H'i;ii , X '' V-'' Wt Trial Based On vTerrfble Indictment A news report, telling that twenty four German SS men are being tried on ' charge of 'murdering 90,000 in dividuals gets second-page space in our leading newspapers. It is rather difficult to understand the psychology, apparent in this coun try, where those guilty of perpetrat ing mass-murder in Nazi Germany are under trial and the people of this Country apparently retain little in terest, in what happens to them. P One of the German defendants ask- ed the court to permit him to quote the writings of Nikolai Lenin as part of his defense, insisting that the writ ings' of the Communist founder dis closed that the Russian attitude on the battlefield vould be "dog eat Idog", without rules. Judge M. A. Musmanno, of Pitts- ! burgh, president of the court, replied that the defendant had been indicted for muUiplicitous murder, or speci .fically the killing of 90,000 people, 'and added that there could be no pre isumption in law or in fact, found in 1he writings of Lenin, to justify the .alleged acts of the defendant, which jwere in no way related to the foun dations of Russian warfare or the Soviet attitude toward international law. jjtThat twenty-four Germans are fac- ng trial on such a heinous charge, nvolving a campaign which resulted n the death of one million Jews, Rus- nans and gypsies, is enough to bring korror into the minds of human leings as they grasp the fact that uch things occurred. Certainly, it hould make all of us very thankful hat Hitler and his Nazis did not suc eed in their way to conquer the 'arth. jrive On Tax Evaders brought In $1,938,183,000 A total of $1,938,183,000 was col- of Internal Revenue, The amount collected by the Gov ernment during the fiscal year which ended June 30 may not be equalled this year. The economy drive in Congress resulted in the discharge of some of the investigating agents em ployed by the Bureau. We think it highly important that the Government have sufficient agents to investigate the income tax returns of individuals and corporations. The knowledge lhat this is likely will cause taxpayers to make a" fuller re port of their income. Wallace Says U. S. Will Not Win A Third War Henry A. Wallace, who does not see eye to eye with the foreign policy of the United States, predicts that in the event- of another war the United States will not have strong allies and, therefore, "will never win a third world war." Mr. Wallace insists that "the re actionary governments we are sup porting abroad will crumble with . ternal revolutions if a great war breaks out between the United States and Russia." Consequent.!;, the for mer Vice-President has the idea that this country will stand alone against its enemies in the event of another conflict. We do not believe that the United States can beat the world, but we see no reason to come to the conclusion of Mr. Wallace. Naturally, if some future aggressor, or group of aggres sor nations, make an attack upon the United States there will be no rush of other nations to get into the cor. fliet. It will be our battle and, for the main part, ours alone. A little reflection on the role that the United States played in the first two world wars will demonstrate that the United States did not seek embroilment into either battle. The plain course of the United States was to remain at peace, if possible, al- scted last year as a result of a drive . though in the Second World War i income tax evaders. there was an increased appreciation This is the statement of Edward I. of the menace to all freedoms and ap- IcLarney, Deputy Commissioner of prehension lest this country have to fie Income Tax Unit of the Bureau 1 take up arms . to prevent axis sue- frasTTTS top fzrrrifiTt r m ''',Vm' -; .uvi?'.

C. cess. When, .a third war begins, if it does, the probability is that those with evil design ' will conclude that, successful strategy requires an in itial attack upon this country. This will be easier to plan than to ex ecute. If the attack is delivered in this country, the United States ought to be able to give a good account of itself. If the attack is delivered at I some far-flung place, away from the continental confines of this country, there may be some doubt as to our victory, the doubt increasing in pro portion to the proximity of the fight to the enemy group. Nations Might Try To Ignore Russia At Sail Francisco, when the United Nations was in process of formation, the Australian represen tative, Herbert V. Evatt, vigorously fought the veto that was given tc the five big powers. The veto power was finally included in the draft of the agreement, how ever, because without it the Soviet Union would not have participated in the World Organization. That Russia has misused the veto, in the opinion of many people, is plain, but there was no way for anyone to know this fact before the experience of the past months. Even the misuse of the veto by the Soviet delegation is not an excuse for the idea that the other nations can do nothing but wring their hands in helpless rage. If the veto blocks progress toward international peace and the Russians refuse to belong to the United Nations without the veto power, the other nations have the choice of going ahead on their own, without the Russians. If this process is deemed danger ous, then the other nations must weigh the advantages and disadvan tages of the existing situation. The absence of Russia from the United Nations does not mean, necessarily, that war is an immediate possibility. In fact, it is just possible that the other nations will get along with Rus sia better outside of the United Na tions than inside it. Suggests Government Construct The Planes The idea that Government should keep its hands off business does not seem to have the approval of Emory S. Land, President of the Air Trans port Association, who proposes the peacetime establishment of a 5,000 plane fleet of transports. Mr. Land admits that the gigantic fleet could not be supported at pres ent but points out that some of the planes should be kept in a Govern ment reserve "pool, upon which the airlines couM draw as their needs increased. The Government, in return for fos tering and developing commercial av iation, would have the assurance that wartime transport needs could be satisfactorily met. We see no reason to doubt the ad visability of the Government looking ahead in connection with the posses sion of adequate military air trans port facilities. Nevertheless, if the Government is to keep transport planes in a pool, we do not see why it should turn them over to the air lines. Why not let the Government keep its military planes under its control for its use whenever neces sary? Says Russians Talk For Home Consumption Warren A. Austin, former Repub lican Senator from Vermont, and now one of the chief representatives of the United States in the deliberations of the United Nations, recently an etaoi etaoinetaoin shrdlo shrdlushrdlu swered the charges of "warmonger ing" which the Russians leveled against this country. Mr. Austin probably hit the nail on the head when he said, that the Vishinsky speech "probably reached its mark: namely, the people of the Soviet Union." He admitted that the utterances might frighten the Soviet people into the belief that the United States "intends to make an armed attack on Russia", but asserted that it did not accomplish the Soviet'n purposes in the United States itself ihe Vermonter declared that the, people of this country and its Gov ernment adhered to the principles and policies of the United Nations, "in spite of the provocation which such utterances give." . He still ex pressed the belief that the peoples oi an countries and their governments desire peace and added, somewhat pointedly, that the methods "follow ed by the Soviet Union are ill-con-eeived and have more tendencv to generate hate and war than love and peace." Newspaper Articles Pit Patton vs. Eisenhower A number of newspapers are run ning a series 6f articles written by Robert S. Allen, describing, the cam paign of the Third Army under Gen eral Patton. . Th Allen story gives the definite impression that General Patton had the Germans licked but that h held up by Supreme Headquarters of ino Amencan petitionary Force. The clear purport of the deecrintion of General Patton'g campaign is, to put, the f blame on Headquarters, which, H i$ alleged, paid too i much attention to General Montgomery, of the British Army. There may be much truth in' the story Doing told by the veteran news paper correspondent, but one should not. Jihptp hasty conclusions on. the basis of one man's opinion. The full !ruth of a campaign as seen by a General in the field and by the Staff at headquarters, can hardly be ex pected from one narrative which is heavily overweighted with favoritism for a much admired General.

Here are the prin cipal requirements for those who sell malt bev erages for consumption on the premises, as condensed from the North Carolina Beverage Con trol Act of 1939, as amended: To obtain retail beer license, one must show: 1. That he is over 21 years old tnd has been a resident of the State and a citizen of the United States for one year or more. 2. That he has not been convicted of a felony or other crime in volving moral turpitude or adjudged guilty of violating the prohibition laws within two years. 3. That he intends to carry on the business for himself or under his immediate supervision and direction. To keep his license, a retail dealer must not: 1. Knowingly sell malt beverages to anyone binder IS years of age. (Another act prohibits employment af minors under 18 years of age in places where beer is sold for consumption oo the premises.) 2. Knowingly sell such beverages to intoxicated persons. 3. Sell such beverage outside the legal hours. 4. Permit disorderly conduct, improper or immoral entertain ment, conduct or practices on premises. 5. Foil, offer for sale, possess or permit the consumption on th licensed premises of any alcholic liquors not authorized under his license. These are the fundamental points of the North Carolina code for beer dealers. This Committee heartily endorses every one of these requirements and through our Self-Regulation Program we feel that we have accomplished much toward bringing about their acceptance and observance by the great majority of beer dealers in North Carolina. For complete legal details regarding the sale of beer, one should refer to the law itself, a copy of which can be obtained free of charge from the Commit tee's Raleigh office.
