You may have read about the plans
to tale care of the so-called "dis
tress areas" in our nation -that is,
areas where unemployment has come
about as a result of the defense pro
gram.
vcuvtb b jjuuu example, mere
the principal. industry is the manu-
fllfhlH! At Alltnmnhllaa -..
defense effort is using much of our
steel, (h 4 production of automobiles
has been greatly curtailed ;' That
means that the plants-are not operat
ing full time, and that many workers
are not fully employed, if at all.
To take care of the situation, the
President designed, another one of

pleases, too matter - how much cheap
er -the ' goods . could be purchased
elsewhere. ;There would be secrecy.
Everything would be at the discretion
of the government officials. ,
1 Why did this - arouse the North
Carolina folks in Congress?
Here' why. Two of bur major in
dustries, as you well know, are the
textile Industry .and the furniture in
dustry. : Already, because of lack of
demand under ordinary competitive
circumstances, some of our own plants
are not operating full time. Many of
our owh workers are working only
part time. ;v''-i' r-;-''v':.
Yet, under this order by the Presi
dent ,the government would take away
from North Carolina those govern
ment contracts which would be ours
normally because we are able to pro
duce goods at a lower price than can,
say, a plant at Lowell, Massachusetts.
That would mean that even though

the past two or three decades. Our . - '
textile manufacturers, our furniture
plants have, for the most part, kept
up with the times. The South has
eratic if times are good., But it might
go Republican if times are bad. " '
It would not be beyond the-realm
of possibilities that the government
officials in charge of such a man
date might look at the situation this
way: "North Carolina hag almost
always been in the Democratic Party
column.'' No need to worry about
her. But Massachusetts is a border
line state. (Better keep the workers
happy up there.- Let's buy in Massa
chusetts;" " V";; 'I , ' ' " '
The trouble with the whole thing
is that the government is once again
stumbling; into a situation in which it
has no business. Competition and free
enterprise have always worked in this
country. The dreamers and the plan
ners in Washington cannot improve
on the fundamentals of liberty, no
matter how many sets of rose-colored
glasses they utilize.

The . operators of our plants have
plowed their money back into their
plants, In the North, too often, the
money has been paid in dividends. '
Let the chips fall where they may.
as long as our workers' can earn a
living under tne fundamental prin
ciples of free enterprise and compe
tition, I think they have the right to
do so. And do so without bureaucracy

It would not be so bad if the order

The result would be less jobs for
North Carolina workers, less money
for them to buy their food, pay their
rent and purchase other necessities
of life.
One might ask, "Well, wouldn't
