1a Challenge To Mr. Doughton (The following is an editorial published in' the issue of the Winston-Salem Journal for yesterday (Wednesday) in regard to Congressman Robert L. Doughton, of Alleghany county, and his ■resent position, viewed in the light of the coming campaign for Be governorship of . North Carolina.—Editor). It is doubtful if a Democratic eader in North Carolina ever was wnfronted with such a challenge s Congressman Robert L. Dough bn is now facing. ' With three major and two min or Candidates for the nomination for governor already in the field, the future looks bright for a campaign that will split the Democratic party in this State into the bitterest factions that have been seen here in a gener ation. t ■ It is already apparent that it will be .impossible for a majority of the Democrats of this Common wealth ever to get together behind either of the present candidates, without at least two hotly con tested primaries, if at all. Democrats who have the future of their party at heart know too well the possibilities of the sort of campaigns that will be waged in these two primaries. In such » time as this, anything can hap pen! There is, indeed, the pos sibility of such a cleavage in the party organization as will en danger Democratic control in many counties, if not in the State-at-large. Wisest leaders of the Demo cratic party naturally would pre fer a campaign of less heat and danger to party harmony than this one promises to be, provided that all five of the present candidates for governor stay in the race. They would like to see a candi date strong enough to unite the [party in the first primary. It is at this point that the chal lenge to Congressman Doughton emerges. For he is the only Democrat now living who would have the support of an overwhelm ing majority of the Democratic voters of North Carolina in a campaign for the, Democratic nomination for governor. If “Farmer Bob” were willing to leave his great work as chair man of the Ways and Means Committee of the House in Wash ington, he could save the Demo cratic party of his native. State from being split into warring factions and go into the gover .nor’s office with the solid backing of an overwhelming majority of the Democratic voters. • The Raleigh News and Observ er hears that there is' a possi Wise and Otherwise Probably The Hapsburgs have regained their confiscated estates and pro bably are looking for enough 'money to get the grass cut.— "Indianapolis Star.

REEVES. Court NOTICE bility of Mr. Doughton’s recon sidering his decision announced earlier in the year not to run for governor. We hope this, is true. If Mr. Doughton will run on his record, especially as that .record relates to matters of tax ation, there would be no use for any other Democrat to seek the gubernatorial nomination next June. , If he will make the race and give the people of North Caro lina the assurance, which no doubt he would, that he will work as hard in Raleigh to bring the New Deal home to North Carolina as he has worked to help Presi dent Roosevelt put over his great program for the Nation, in all probability the first .robins of 1936 would find no candidate in the race for governor except “Farmer Bob.” “There never w,as a time when a member of Congress was in better position than Mr. Dough ton is in at this moment to do precisely the thing that thousands of his friends are anxious for him to do—retire from Congress and become governor of his own great State. His record as administration leader in the last Congress never has been excelled. He. enjoys the distinction of having piloted through the House the most im portant legislation Congress has enacted in more than a gener ation. He has seen all of the. major measures of the Roosevelt program of recovery and reform enacted into law. Having led in the completion of that task, Mr. Doughton is in ex cellent position now to turn to an other great task and round out his remarkable public career as Chief Executive of his own Com monwealth at a time when that Commonwealth and the political party of whieh he is a leader are facing a real crisis. The future of the State and the future of the Democratic party of North Carolina alike challenge Mr. Doughton to as sume leadership in this Common wealth and unite our people back of and in closest co-operation with the Roosevelt program for a forward-marching America. consider it ,a social error to men tion the Kellogg Pact.—New Yorker.

For almost one hundred and fifty years it has served that pur pose. Under its guaranties of per sonal liberty for all, America has developed into a great nation of free and successful citizens. If the Constitution is weakened, those guaranties of freedom are lost. The whim of the party in power becomes the Law of the Land. The control over the politi cian, exercised by ' tlfe people through their Constitution, is de stroyed. Today those safeguards are in serious danger. Recent events at Washington have brought the men ace clearly into the light. There have been veiled sugges tions from the White House for a constitutional amendment which would take power from the states and the people to centre it in Wash ington ... There have been new bills in Congress designed to end or weaken the authority of the Supreme Court as the interpreter of our Constitu tion ... There have been frank efforts by certain senators and representa tives to grab for Congress the au thority now exercised by the Su preme Court . . . All these show the trend toward freeing the men who happen to hold office of the restraints exercised by the People through their Consti tution— toward granting to Con gress powers that can become both unlimited and despotic. If the citizens permit such changes—if they yield to politicians the powers expressly reserved to the people—then they will not only transform the entire structure of our American Government, but will destroy their own rights and priv ileges and strength. They will throw away the heri tage bequeathed by Washington and preserved by Lincoln. My next article will discuss how every worker, every group, would be affected by such changes—and why.

(continued from front page) lization questions The writer frankly would like to know more about it but even the most learn ed do not always agree in discuss ing it. Along this line it is in teresting to note that the Senate has authorized an investigation of the effect of the silver-purchase program on imports and exports, on prices at home and on inter national exchange. Senator Pitt man says the silver buying policy aimed to put silver in the Treas ury which might later be used to dicker for international satibliza tion of currency on terms suitable to us. The announced goal is to acquire for the Treasury an amount of silver equal to one-third of the gold, pr about $3,000, 000,000 worth. Purchasing should continue until the price reached $1.20 an ounce. The Treasury has acquired about sixty per cent of the quantity desired and the whole program is being assailed and defended with much warmth. REAL CRISIS IN EUROPE The gravity of the situation in Europe, with Mussolini determin ed to absorb Ethiopia, has not been underestimated by officials in Washington, who realize the serious threat to world peace, but the view is that the matter is one for Europe to handle and that this country will make no com mitments or become entangled in the row under any circumstances. Action of the Senate, last week, in adopting the seven-point reso lution to safeguard American neutrality before war began and thus make any action here un likely to be misconstrued is indi cative of sentiment generally. U. S. TO BE OUTSIDE Of course, economic sanctions may be applied by members of the League of Nations, if that is decided upon, but this country is not obligated to join in such a move which, it is thought, would eventually embroil the United States in another step to avoid war or end it. Under the Ke.llog Briand pact, which this nation signed, there is nothing to require us to unite in any action against a violator. NEUTRALITY DISCUSSION The more exact definition of our neutrality stand has been under study for many months. It is a subject of considerable mo ment. Take for example, the pos sibility that the members of the League may exert pressure upon Italy.

Would this country, on the other hand, abandon its rights in the interests of the peace of the world as up held by the combination of pow ers? Great Britain, it is known, would welcome- our participation in seme step to curb Italy but this will come rather poorly from the nation that did little to back up Secretary Stimson when he boldly proclaimed a determination on our part not to recognize any gains made by Japan, in China, in violation of treaties signed by the nations- While many observ ers believe that the life of the League, or certainly its effective ness as an instrument of peace is at stake, they feel that the op portunity to give the organiza tion “teeth” was muffed when Japan was permitted to run roughshod over China and acquire Manchuria. TEXTILE GROUP REPORTS The cabinet committee set up by the President in April to in vestigate conditions in the textile industry has submitted its report, which is about in line with expec tations. It reports that excess capacity and obsolescence are se rious problems in the industry; that recent importations of Jap anese counter cloth should be dealt with in a voluntary agree ment with Japan, subsidized tex tile exports would probably cause retaliation, that currency stabili zation and the reduction of trade barriers should lead to a recovery of some part of the lost foreign market, that increased use of cot ton be stimulated, an inquiry on FILM MAKING SPURS ROMANCE IN GRAFTO Grafton, Mass., Aug. —— About 46 couples per year got married in Grafton, averaging almost- one a week. But with in the six days that Eric Lin den and Cecelia Parker, movie players, have been making synthetic love in front of hun dreds of townspeople for scenes in Eugene O’Neill’s “Ah Wilderness,” six Grafton coup les have filed marriage inten tions. It reached a climax with three today. Town Clerk Rob? ert S. Leonard said: “I never saw anything like it. Those love scenes repeated and re peated must have got the young folks thinking.” He called the number a "record high.” A new police officer was an xious to make a record, and his chance came very soon. When he was on his beat he phoned to the police station and reported]: “There’s a man that’s been robbed by some other man and I’ve got one of them.” “Whice one have' you ‘‘got?” asked the sergeant. The reply came back: “The man that was robbed.” hedging and a study of merchan dising be undertaken and that the most practical means of securing purchasing power for cotton grow ers is to enable them to buy indus trial products. The report gener ally, it seems, upholds the Wal lace farm theories and the Hull trade ideas.
