COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
(By Spectator)
Muss meetings held in various cities
Indicate how deeply desirous our
people are for a policy of full natloual
effort ugftiuat our enemies. The
greatest ohatacle to all-out preparcdnoss
is duo to strike^ ,to Labor's constunt
efTort to use the emergency of
war for the increase of wages. Meetings
in Marlon, Florence, Newberry,
Sumter and Dillon catling for wholehearted
national effort, are notable
patriotic efforts.
Our government lias the power, as
well as the opportunity, to put all our
productive energy to work. And it
has the obligation to do so. This
Is no time to pluy politics;
our National safety Is at stake.
"I don't think I care to Join." said
a mechanic to u member of the staff
of the revenue offlco hero in Columbia.
And thereby hangs a tale, as
Shakespeare says.
It will bo recalled that In order to
do a little carpentry work or any
other kind of work for our great preparedness
and war effort a citizen of
the United States had no standing unless
he were a member of a Labor
Union. An he could not he a member
until he paid out a sum of money.
So, then, the only men entitled to
}obs were members of Labor Unions.
All this was known to Washington
and encouraged by Washington. This
commission which a citizen had to
pay was probably one of the Hoclal
gains. Hut our people are generous
?even If nobody but a Union man
was allowed a Job at fat wages, every
man was Included In the draft, so
that all slood on common ground
somewhere. So If you couldn't get
any of the Jobs you will still be allowed
to fight.
The mechanic must hnve been one
of those who had to "fork out" In
order to get a Job. He had to Join
the Union. When making his statement
of Income for the Income tax,
he thought he was caught by another
Unlpn and decided that he wouldn't
Join, after hearing that this New Union
(The Government) wanted f 66
from him. "I don't think I care to
join," said our friend; but bubber,
this Union will want, you 'till It licks
Hitler and the Japs.
Nobody says anything about Muhsolini
these days. And old Benito
seems "sorta" tongue-tied himself,
eh?
Must be Springtime; I see the little (
boys all over the ground with their
marbles and the farmers are all agog
over the new crop-year and turning
soil with vim.
I
We must win the wnr. No other
thought should he entertained. Wo
are not winning today, however?tho^
balance sheet Is till against us today.
If we nllow the Japs to gain a foothold
In Australia wo and the British j
will deserve the severest reprobation i
of all men. Somewhere, sometime,,
wo must tight with till wo have, in-i
pludlng brains. Up to now, the "tooj
littlo and too late" policy of both :
Britain and America Indicate woeful,
lack of Intelligent planning. The far- ,
ther away we light the safer will be j
our own country. For that reason
we must take part on land against!
Germany and Japan. while Russia j
and tho others are fighting on land.
Who will be the next governor? If
nn election were held today who
would win? We know that Colonel
Wyndham Manning will bo In the
race. Does Mr. Jofferies purpose to
run ?
(Jovornor Jofferies wrote an open
letter to the citizens of Colleton and
in that letter I find these words: "It
Is entirely possible for me to offer
again In the summer primaries for
the position of state senator from
Colleton county, and I feel sure that
If the people still wish (me) to serve
them In the capacity in which I have
tried to serve for the last sixteen
years, this can be done. While of
course It Is too .early to make a definite
announenient yet, 1 think it
only fair to say that it now seems
probable that I shall ask again this
summer for your confidence and support."
if governor Jefferies elniinates
himself there will bo Colonel Manning
and Thomas II. IVeples, as declared
candidates for Governor, with
a half dozen others, either mentioning
themselves, or being mentioned.
Nothing is known yet about the senatorship;
who will be in the race?

TRAVEL PICTURE TO ROATE8
At the Rotary mooting lunt Thursday
which wan presided over by Pre?idont
Moulu-ie J turns, Irving Poarce
hud the program and his guest was
T. H. Parlor, of Columbia. Mr. Parlor
guvo un honost-to goodness talking
picture entlllod "81rang? Coda of
India and From Paris to India" on ?
twenty-two thouaund mile caravan
Journey- a travologuo picture aorloa,
allowing' fantastic customs of their
many religious aocta, their beautiful
moa(j[uca and temples, woird dances
of the natives and the tea and cocoanut
induatry and showed signs over
entruuco tp aoine teniploa prohibiting
ontranco to worshippers or visitors
wearing coats, hats or siioes. It waa
a beautiful and spectacular picture of
the far Kast brought to ike fur West
?which all goes to show that Mister
Kipling was wrong when he said "east
is east and west is west, and never
the twain shall meet.' They met in
the dining room of the Rotary Club
through the medium of' the cinema
and the fine thought of Irving Pearco
and Mr. Parler.
Among the many curious things
portrayed was the Indla-conttolled
railroads and other services in a land
where a traveler must cross thirtyeight
frontiers in going from Bombay
to Delhi and its confused and complex
conditions, social, economic and
religious. Poor India! An American
accustomed to a political life in which
racial and religious differences play
no acknowledged part in which the
same basic governmental principals
run from boundary to boundary, must
sympathize with those whose task it
i is to unite the nearly four hundred
million peoples of this great penlnsu- j
lar for defense and future freedom.i
Will Sir Stafford Cripps be the man
of the hour for these Indians of the
far East?
Allen Fletcher, of Ludlow, Vermont,
was a visiting Rot&rlan.
Secretary Lee Mays read the last
attendance report and It was really
something to write home about?Ninety-one
point forty-nine. And lest you
forget give to the Red Cross, buy
plenty of defense stamps and bonds
and in that way lend to attack and
so?let us be of good cheer, for the
things we most dread, never appear.
The capstone of the Washington
monument at the nation's capital is
