or new machinery in European tex-
:an
tile plants. Ha said that the Ameri
can textile industry, taxed along with
other taxpayers, to equip a competi
tive industry in Europe is justified
in its fears of this policy.
He said British cotton mills, with
j their lower wages, can undersell the
: American mills here and abroad if
! they receive new and up-to-date ma-
j chinary as a gift from taxpayers in
| the United States. He reiterated that
| Congress should inquire and let the
; people know what are the definite
1 plans for expenditures of European
| recovery funds.
Asks Question
"What assurance can be obtained
. from France and particularly Britain
that industries equipped by-Ameri
can taxpayers will not be national
ized?" he asked.
"Do not destroy the American
goose that is laying golden eggs to
help, the needy all over the earth,"
Byrnes urged.
THE LUCK OF POLITICAL
ACCIDENT
The FTogress has in some sense
been disturbed ever since the States
Rights News & Courier cast sarcas
tic comment on the dictum of the
Progress that President Truman was
a political accident. It would infer
that the President who is so popular
in the South attained to the heights—
and to be absolute (almost) ruler of
the greatest nation of earth is a lof
ty height — by his sheer ability. It
might say that he is a great scholar:
he was made a doctor by Rollins
College in Florida; it might say he is
a great military leader: he was a
first loo-ey in World War I; it might
say he is a great musician: he plays
what we used to call ragtime, pat
ting his foot to keep time; it even
might say he came to the top through
the business world, but we refrain
from going into the Independence
clojhihg store venture. It is in pol-
itics that he attained the glamour
which draws the admiration of the
News & Courier. He was trained un- ,
der Missouri’s great man whose]
name was Pendergrast and whose
address in later years was Leaven
worth. It was doubtless his ability
that ied Roosevelt to suggest him to
head off Charleston’s statesman from 1
the presidency. In spite of these
many suggestions and strong argu
ments, the Progress feels it is sus
tained in its opinion by the recent
fiasco of the Civil Rights War in
Congress. Truman rides high under
the banner of Lady Luck. It has al
ways been so for was it not said by
the prophet of ancient Hebrew days:
‘T returned, and saw under the
sun, that the race w T as not to the
swift, nor the battle to the strong,
neither yet bread to the wise, nor
yet riches to men of understanding,
nor yet favor to men of skill; but!

plans under way before his death

South Carolina May
Lose Peach Crown
Due To Cold Weather
Columbia, S. C.—South Carolina
chances for repeating for the fourth
year as top peach export state is
threatened by recent unseasonal cold
weather.
Reports from the 3 major peach
grow.ng sections vary but they in
dicate serious damage to blossoms
'that run as high as complete destruc
tion m some orchards.
Yom Cole, Clemson Extension Ser
vice marketing specialist, said heavy
losses occurred in main shipping va-
rietaes, Elberta and Golden Jubilee.
Earlier varieties faired better.
An overall estimate of damage in
dicates a 50 per cent crop, but it
is to early to arrive at an accurate
estimate yet. Cole said.
Last year South Carolina orchard-
ists sent out of the state 365,000 car
loads of peaches by rail and an es
timated 1,500 to 2,000 carloads by
truck.
The damage occurred in a freeee
the night of March 15 when temp
eratures dropped to from 22 to 25
degrees, and a frost on March 9.
Cole said no determination of the
state's chances for leading again this
year could be made until cold weath
er damage to Georgia’s peach crop
was ascertained.
TEXTILE INDUSTRY
IS DISTURBED,
SAYS BYRNES
r
Fears that certain aspects of Jhe.
European Recovery FVogram may
prove injurious to American indus
try were expressed by former Sec
retary of State James F. Byrnes of
Spartanburg in a recent address.
Commenting on industrial and ag
ricultural programs in South Carolina
since the first commercial shipments
of peaches were made from the state
in 1870, Byrnes said the management
of the state’s large textile industry
today is disturbed. They have plen
ty of company among business lead
ers throughout the country, Brynes
added.
He said that when he asked bus
iness leaders what they thought of
the economic outlook, the answer
invariably was “if I can tell them
what government business can, do.”
Business management is disturb
ed, Brynes said, because, addition
al taxes of $4,000,000,000 may be lev
ied upon the people while more taxes
are still being paid.
Byrnes favored spending what is
needed to promote the rehabilitation
of Europe, but he said he believed
those in charge of these expenditures
should give to the taxpayers through
Congress an account of how the bil
lions have been spent in the past
year and how it is' proposed to spend
the additional billions asked for in
‘he next 13 months.
Brynes quoted a t .ember of the
Senate foreign relations committee
as telling him European recovery
program officials had indicated that
around $300,000,00 would fee spent
