MR. BARUCH'8 EXAMPLE
Bernard M. Haruch, the South Carolinian
who served the United States
so ably us the chairman of the World
war Industries hoard, has done many
things for South Carolina. Of most
of thoso things the public knows nothing
because Mr. I3aruch Is not one to
concern himself with praise or credit.
Oovernor Maybank doos a good service,
therefore, in making public the
fact that Mr. Haruch has contributed
funds to employ an enginoer and promoter
to aid In the industrial development
program In South Carolina. Mr.
Jlaruch uever would have rovoalod
the fact himself and might havo preferred
that the governor should not
reveal it. Hut It should have been
revealed as the example In patriotism
that Is Is. For now Is the time when
South Carolinians should work together
for the state's advancement,
when examples In patriotism are
needed.?Columbia Rocord.

WHAT'S WHEELER'S LIMIT7
Senator Wheeler's action in mailing
post cards to army officers and
men urging them to "write the President
today at the White House that
you are against our eutry into the
European war", was enough to exasperate
many Amerlcaus besides Secretary
Htlmson.
W^ajher the War secretary went
a 110419 too far or not in his published
statement of his opinion of Wheeler's
action, great numbers of American
citizens, Including army officers and
men, doubtless agree with the Cabinet
officer that "this comes very near
the line of subversive activities
against the United States, if not
treason."
Certainly It goes far in that direction
when a United States senutor, iu
a time of such grave national emergency
as the present, seeks to enlist
the officers and men in the army in
an active campaign directed against
the government's policy in dealing
with nations known to be engaged in
undeclared war agaiust this country.
It Is significant that, while Wheeler
rejoined that " I do not think it is
subversive to quote the President of
the United Stutes", his post cards
quoted not only the President, but
also Charles A. Lindbergh, Senator
Wheelor, Senator Nye, Joseph P.
Kennedy and Herbert Hoover.
And It Is not to be overlooked that
tho Montana Senator had a million
of these cards mailed at government
expense; (hat is, under the frank of
tho great isolationist, although he
claims thoy woro "not printed at government
expense." Wonder who paid
for printing the million cards.
Whatever ono may think of Secretary
StlniBon's comment on Wheeler's
action, it cannot bo denied that such
conduct on the part of a United
States senator gives aid and comfort
to tho Axis enemies of this country.
One 1h Justified in asking what
would Wheeler regard as the limit of
propriety.?Charlotte Observer.
THE LETTER "V"
Can a single letter contribute
strongly to the defeat of Nazism?
There are forces in Hrltalu which
bolievo It can; there are ovldences
cropping up here and there throughout
Europe which suggest that it
may. "V" stands for "Victory". It
also stands for "Vlctolro,"' tho French
equivalent. Somehow the custom
sprang up of chalking that single let
tor on aldewalki ind walli, pencilling
It ou posters, even tracing It In the
mud ou German cars. The thought Is
to create a universal slgu of eventual
victory, and ftauut It before derman
eye# In every conquered country.
The British radio Is encouraging
this practice throughout Europe, and
adding the Morse code for V, three
short signals followed by a long one.
Thut's universal In all countries. Call
your waiter in the restaurant by tapping
that signal, urges the British
radio. /
Fantastic. Hurely. But wasn't
there a King once, Belshazzar, who was
considerably disturbed by writing on
a wall??Bumter Item.
WA8TE EVERYWHERE
It turns out that there was a lot
of aluminum In kitchen ftnd pantry.
It was old stuff but valuable. Sooner
or later it wou?d have gone Into the
I garbage can. Donated Instead to the
I government, It will be used in maklug
wurplauos for American defense.
It Is probable that there Is enough
old Iron, nails, washpots, lawn mowers.
tools and other metal Junk In
the basements and plunder rooms of
American homes to make a couple
of battleships. There's enough food
rotting in tho fields to feed a small
nation for a week. There was J
enough cotton left unpicked In tho |
llelds last winter to clothe thousands. |
The uverage American family wastes
enough to keep another If both wero
frugal.
We do everything on a grand scale,
including waBting resources. We allow
great amounts of our topsoil to
roll down tho muddy rivers during
each year. Timber, oil, coal and
other elements of wealth are tossed
aside as If they wore chaff.
We are so rich! Maybe we aren t.
At any rate, wo were poor enough to
have to call for the housewives' pots
and pans when need occurred.
DIM YOUR LIGHT
I v In
tho past, drivers of autpmobifM
on our highways have been urged to
bIiow courtesy to other drivers by
dimming lights after dark, when(
meeting other vehicles on the highways.
Check after check was made
and only a small percentage of our,
drivers ever heeded the request.
Now our highway patrol officials
have announced they will begin enforcing
a recently-enacted law .-requiring
passenger automobiles to dim
lights. Tho penalty for not so doing
Is a fine of $10 or Imprisonment of 30
days on conviction.
Ours Is a peculiarly sorry situation
when highly (?) civilized folk must
be forced to switch from bright to
dim lights, when It Is to their own
advantage (and no one else's) to do
it voluntarily?Newberry Observer.
Charged With "Near Treason"
Washington?A postcard campaign
designed to get soldiers to protest
against United States entry into war
was classed as "near treason" last
week by Henry L. Stimson, Secretary
of War, as Army chiefs vetoed compromises
on the draft extension plan
now before Congress. The Secretary
of War snoke out in sharp tones
against efforts to lure selectees into
political activity, directing his remarks
specifically at isolationist Senator
Burton K. Wheeler of Montana,
under whose free-mailing privilege
the circulars were said to have been
mailed. Such conduct, the Secretary
charged, "moved very near the line
of subversive activities against the
United States if not treason. '
