Mr. Wallace In the South!
There is no Sportsmanship, no fair play, no wisdom, no
democracy, no humanity in the disorderly hooting and heckling
the egg rock, and tomato throwing, and the violence which
have been directed at Henry Wallace in the several North Car
olina towns which he began his Southern campaign for the
presidency.
Mr Wallace is the legal candidate ot a legal party exer
cising its legal rights. He is utilizing the most prized possess
ion of the American peopl—the right of free speech without
which there can be no freedom of religion, no security tor
democracy. Mr. Wallace has the right to speak, indeed, in Am
erica he has the right to be wrong and proclaim his beliefs
from the houstops. He has te right to speak unmolested. Those
who wish to hear him have the right to listen unmolested.
Such attempts to suppress unpopular opinion are always
mistaken. They often end by advertising the views surpressed.
They are a form of mob rule and a step toward totalitarianism
of thought. Those who answer with eggs and tomatoes lose an
opportunity to test their own doctrine against opposition to
think through the rgasons for the faith that is in tem. The his
tory of democracy proves that such testing gives is vitality and
meaning. „ , . . ,, •„
We all know these things. But the human minds unwill
ingness to listen to unpopular views it necessary to remind our
selves often, that the more unpopular the view, the greater
is th need for alertness to maintain freedom for it to be heard.
Wooing the Voters!
Our readers are for the most part, voters, and those who
do not, and are of age, should be. But we are all consumers and
most certainly interested in the matter of prices.
Prices are still rising and by the end of the year they will
be higher.
That is a pessimistic statment. But it is an accurate cap
sule summary of what economics are saying and writing. All
the farces that make for prices inflation-higher wages, trem
endous government spending, near-record purchasing power
in the hands of the public-are still in effect..
High prices constitute the most serious problem of mil
lions of families. But the American people must not be car
ried away bv the kind of hysteria that belivese that more laws,
more controls and more political domination of the economy
can provide the answer. This is an election year, and many a
candidate will use price control as a device to woo the voters.
What those candidates will not point out is that nobody will
produce goods at a price which is too low to return a profit—
and that the greatest beneficiary from price control is the black
market racketeer.
The common arguement tnat mgn prices are largely uie
result of conscienceless profits should be scotched. Competit
ion is the best, means of limiting profits that ever existed. As
an example, the typical retailor in general merchandise earns
a profit of around five cents on each dollar you spend with him.
In the food field, with its fast turnover, he earns less than two
cents. The profits of manufacturers are usually about six
percent, and are often less. Certainly, no one can sav that this
is an excessive wage for the enourmous service business ren
ders the American public.
The Chinese ambassador sat at the speakers’ table at a state
dinner in Washington.
“How is it that the Chinese whose, inventors are often cre
dited with creating gunpowder, paper, printing, and other in
ventions centuries ago. never became a great industrial nat
ion ? asked an American ?
“The reason is that we had no patent system,” the ambas.
ador replied. “Hence the inquiring mind of the Chinese had
no incentives to do more than inquire.”
Seminars Being Held
What the ambassador knew is unknown to many American
For that reason the patents and research committee of the
National research committee of the National Association of
Manufacturers has organized a series of area seminars to dram
atize the patent system’s contribution to the nation’s abund
ance.
The first of these seminars was held recently in Cleveland.
Others will be announced soon.
The object is to acquaint manufacturers, their staffs, and
scientific and technical students, with the nature of the patent
system and the use of patents and research in pioneering new
products and improving old ones to benefit American consum
* ers.
Apathy Found
Members of the NAM committee find that many manufact
urers share public apathy to attack on the patent systems. By
driving home what patents on household articles, machines,
tools, and implements have done and are doing to enrich life
in America, it is hoped to make the public realize the import
ance stake it has in the protecion of the patent system.
With Grain of Salt
Not so many years ago salt was
used in payment of a fine in central
Africa. When a murder was com
mitted, according to custom, the
community in which the murderer
lived was responsible for paying th*
blood-money. The chief of the vil
lage went around on .an appointed
day and collected frcfin each of his
subjects two cupped handfuls of
salt This was poyied to form pay- j
ment for the life taken.
Insecticidal Fog Used
An insecticidal fog applicator pro
ducing a true fog which quickly sur
rounds and clings to all objects and
penetrates the smallest crevices la
one of the latest weapons for insect
control.
Cats Up Coal
Lighting the average home for a
year eats up 600 pounds of coal at
the powerhouse.
Yean* Go Ftrst
Many young birds, including
those of the Red-Wing, migrate
•outh before their parents, thus dis
proving the old adage that the adults
guide the young on their first south
ward flight. In other species the mi
grating young and adults remain in
family groups. Canada geese fol
low this patter, the families com
bining into iar ’’ocks but retain
ing their un _n no calendar or
compass to guide them, birds set
forth along ancestral routes each fsH
at much the same time for their
southern wintering grounds and re
turn as punctually each spring.
Daniel West Says:
—In My Opinion
The activities of the Thom
as L'namerican Committee is
doing a disservice to the coun
try. In traveling through the
country, you get a powerful
impression of people at work
and at play. In spite of the or- j
deal of the war, in spite of in
flation and postwar overcrowd
ing, you have the sense of a
nation moving forward with
vigor and confidence*
Then you read the headlines
in the newspapers. They con
vey the idea Soviet Russia has
this country by the throat;
that the nation is in deadly
peril from a conspfracy into
which many Americans have
entered.
That idea is, in my opinion,
false. To spread such an idea
is to do a disservice to the
country. It is to spread fear
and doubt far beyond any pus
tification.
The moving spirits of the
house unAmerican activities
committee and the agitators
allied with seem never to have
thought how their behavior re
flects on the country itself.
Thy behave as tough Ameri
cans might actually persuaded
in large numbers that Russian
Communism was superior to
the American system.
This is, of course absurd.
Our way of life in this country
offers infinitely greater rewar
ds, both on the material and the
spiritual and intellectual side
than Russian Communism, des
pite the many shortcomings
we have. And the great mass
of the American people have
the common sense to know it.
I believe if Chairman Thom
as and other men who seem so
frightened would get out in to
the country, away from the
overhated atmosphere of Wash
ington, they would recognize
that fact. They would see Am
erica in the full tide of road
building, of home building, of
work, of play.
Certainly, what has ben un
folded so far does not justify
this t'rieght. Eccentrics, vision
aries, idealists with a childish
love of conspiracy have gone
mysterious and conspiratorial.
Apparently this has satisfied
some impulse that the ordinary
person does not feel.
But if they have given infor
mation of any value to the Sov
iet Union or if they have succ
eeded in undermining the faith
of any substantial number of
Americans, then the paprs that
I have seen have not printd itl
It has been on the level of sup
position, accusation, rumor and
hearsay.
Part of the harm it does, in
my opinion is to undermine
belief in the basic American
freedoms. When a man can be
accused of disloyal action on
the statement of a single indiv
idual, with apparntly no sub
stantiating proof, and the char
ge proclaimed sensationally t4
the world, then we are jeopar
dizing the funtamental guar
j antees on which the American
system rests.
I do not mean oy this to dou
bt. that Soviet Russia has an
e s p i o n a ge network in this
country. But the way to un
cover that network is not by
sensational hearings that pro
duce sensational headlines and
charges and countercharges.
There is an agency authori
zed by law to protect the coun
try from treason and sabotage.
That agency is the F. B. I. un
der J. Edgar Hoover.
Canada found a way to com
bat communism without scar
ing its people ont of their wits.
When our Canadaian neighbor
discovered a Russian espionage
network at work seeking to
undermine the country, a royal
commission was appointed.
The responsible and respected
citizens on that commission
held a long, careful, painstak
ing inquire in secret. The com
mission published a long care
ful report and where evidence
justified it, individuals were
prosecuted. The names of tho
se not guilty were not dragged
into the record.
If the F. B. I. needs greater
powers then it should be given
greatr powers and a larger ap
propriation. Perhaps someth
ing like the royal Canadian
cprpmission is necessary in this
country in order to carry out
an inquiry thoroughly and wi
th documentation rather that
with movie cameras and head
lines.
But, above all, I believe a
healthy thing would be to get
Chairman jl nomas and his com
mittee out in the country. See
ing so many busv, active peo
ple, they could not long c'
to the illusion that sec’
motivate their fears; tha.
that Amricans ar about to fall |
for ceornmunism. And as an
after thought it might be well j
to take Congressman John Ran
kin and some of the die-hard
rebels along, if for nothing else
except to get a breath of pure
fresh air—They need it!
The Veteran Asks:
More than 400 Nebraska
World War II veterans who
are totally disabled are now
receiving GI insurance pro
tection without cost, Ashley
ional office manager, reported
today.
Westmoreland said the waiv
er of premiums, one of the lib
eral provisions of-* GI insur
ance, is being utilized by war
injured veterans as well as by
many who are unable to fol
low a gainful occupation due
to peacetime misfortunes.
The premium waiver be
comes effective after a policy
holder has been totally dis
abled for a period of six con
secutive months. The Veter
ans Administration, after de
termining that he has been
disabled for that period, re
turns the six months' permium
payments to the veteran and,
carries his insurance in force |
free of charge for the duration
of the disability.
The VA official reminded
veterans that, if their GI in
surance has lapsed less than
three months, they can, in
most cases, reinstate without
a physical examination. In
cases where the insurance has
been lapsed for a longer per
iod, it still is possible to re
instate by taking a physical
examination, he added.

.LET’S DO AWAY WITH THE LOCK

Courtesy Institute let American Democracy. Inc.
LET’S DO AWAY WITH THE LOCK— is the caption
above the cartoon which the cartoonist has so skillfully drawn.
Yet it is not a very pleasant situation to minority groups. Too
long has the big pad lock of racial and religious prejudice been
upon the door of educational opportunities here in America. In
the cartoon the youngest is shown approaching, full of hope,
burning with zeal and a strong determination to prepare him
self to assume the duties of the citizen tomorrow. We can very
well imagine his feeling when he approaches near enough to
see the sign Stav out! and on jurt ahead he beholds the giant
PADLOCK or 'RACIAL and RELIGIOUS PREJUDICE.
Unfortunately, the youngster has here, very little to. inspire
him. But he should be discouraged by the SIGNPOST or the
BIG PADLOCK, this is not the END! No nation can sur
vive with any part of it’s people UNEDUCATED, the HAND
WRITING is on the WALL, the day is here, when America
must PROVIDE full and complete educational OPPORTUN
ITIES for all.

F. 0. Lea II. AHeeta I. Georgia
i M. C. —I met a soldier on a
train this summer. We exchar
ged addresses. After several
weeks, I heard from him. Since
I returned home I met a nice
young man in my neighhorhoo
and we started going together
I like him very much. Now the
soldier writes and asks me to
wait for him. What should I
do?
Ans: Write the soldier as of
ten as you like but do not make
any promises about waiting
for him. Let him know that if
you ar single when he returns,
you will-be hap*'-- to have hi ~i
visit in your town so that you
can become better acquainted.
Continue your friendship witr.
the young man there at home
as long as he interests you. But
do not give* up all your friends
and promise to wait for a man
whom you have seen only one
time.
Unhappy—Please give me som
advice. My sister invitd me to
come here to work as jobs are
plentiful. However, I found
things much different. I have
made a mistake, I think. I'm
| not happy here. I try to be nice
! but I don't look at life as they
do. Would it be wise for me
to return to Fla. when I pay
this debt I owe as I’m not get
ting anvwhere here.?
Ans: Make the change since
you aren’t making any prog
ress where you are. There’s not
thing to be gained by living in
an environment which you do
not enjoy. And—you know the
conditions under which you
will go back to in Florida.
I.B.—I am in love with a fell
ow who travels. He makes ab
out sixty dollars a week. He
wants to marry me and settle
only pay about thirty-five a
week. He has some debts that
amount to over five hundred
dollars. Must I marry him now
or wait until he pays his debts
and settles here ?
Ans: Wait—your chances
for happiness will be much gre
ater if you do not have a heavy
load of indebtedness hanging
over your head when y-ou mar
ry. Coax your fiance to live
economically and pay his debts
have to pinch pennies anyway
before getting married. You’ll
to get a start so begin with a
clean slate.
F.X.—I am 16 but I am old for
my years. Is it wise for me to
go over my mother’s head and
make the trip that I am plan
ning wrhich will make me late
entering school?
Ans: Indeed you shouldn’t.
Respect your mother’s wishes
as she is in a position to know
* what is best for you. This
whole idea is not at all practi
cal. You must give it up.
RCM— Mother taught me
from infancy to live economic
ally and save for a rainy day.
Therefore since my husband an
I have been married we have
accumulated a large modern
home, nice furniture, a car, and
some good renting property an
I all is paid for, yet, I can tell
that he isn’t happy. Have you
any suggestions?
Ans: He has too much lei
sure time on his hands. Actu
ally, he would be happier in bus
iness even though it reguired
only a few hours of his time
ach day. He’s done mighty well
with his own property and is
qualified to go into the real est
ate business on a Small scale.
He would b much more con
tented.
