May E—There are many subjects ot which I know noth- lag; bat a few concerning whkdi ex perience has taught me much. One of these is ‘Tact-fladiag*^ My catlre life has bees given to this. BEWARE OF THE BUNK Hence, I am usum interested la the rarloas “fact-finding* committees which are being appointed by the gor- emment In connection with labor dis- putse. Well. Isi me any that most of them ere the^ank. The Idea Is craiy that three men. unacgualnted with an industry, can—tn four weeks or even four months—get enough tacts shout tbit industry to say whether wages should be increased 6 cents or 20 cents.y i To add to this bunkum, our good President goes Into g trance and. by palmistry or' teadeaf rsadtng, pulls 18 1-2 cents out of the blue sky and calls that “fact-finding”. It has long been anuild Joke that there are three kinds of lies, namely—“simply lies, damned Ilea and statlstica”. Well, that Joke should now be amended to In- dnde a fourth kind of Ilea—the worst of all—namely, “fact-finding”. WAGE INCREASES CAUSE inflation However, aa a result of this bunk um We are mow having wggee artl- ficially fixed by one fact-flndlag board, prices fixed by another fact finding boaad, boora tixed by another fact-finding board, profits fixed by another fact-finding board, and so ou. All these things are supposed to pre vent inflation. TeL Congress Is now passing s minimum wage bill whidi is the greatest inflation-producing law ever conceived. An these things are done without any regard tor the nation’s welfare; but only to help Congressmen get re elected. They know in thefar hearts that an these **fact-tliuliBg” boards and the wsges-prlcas-proflts * legisla tion win lead to utter coafaslon to that the entire atructura will fUU as the Tower of Babel did tJIM yean ago. TeL during these EOOO years Che same “fscUflnding” scheates have been tried by many great natloBs snch as fiahyhmls, Paiuia, BgypL Greece, RpmA Spain and flna^ Prance. An ware found nnwmrkable sad gives up. TWO BASIC LAWS Now 1st me put readera right oa two fundamental economic truths which are aa sound and tfnchangeabls aa the mnlthclicatloa tahl*. The ftnt is that wSMS* prices, profits, etc., win adjust themadves if 1st alone; but win cause unemploymeat if monkeyed with.

While social security and publlo welfare officials ? throughout the country have been seeking weyu and means for providing old age assist ance to ag^ peiuons who have no relativee or etbw persona with whom they can reside, c group of Negroes la BrnirattavUle, led by -the-Rev.

Rush The sectmd is that the only aolutloB of everyone’s problem is a proper mixture of wo^ education and reli- gion. These are two facts which his tory has proved to be true but politl- cisas hate to admit WE ALL MUST WORK HARDER When we apply these two facta to the present sltoatioB, the answer Is this: The country can ataad the new wage hMureaste okay if prioea are al- lowed to findfbei r natural leyel ug- jLa a truly trm eesBiteRiua uiaHtel*^ wtU the MUte laws apptytag te players , and wag* workers.

Upon this, all fact-finding depends. Ot course, we cannot keep hiking wages and prices indefinitely with out the balloon buratiag. Am the collapse of the lIlO’s was caused by the raOroads getting too powerfiR; the collapee of the ISSO’s was caUSel by the ntllitles getting too powerfnl; ■o the next coUmpse of the IfBO’s wil be caused by labor nnloos getting too powerful.

Let me say again that there is no fermula or definition of what is needed for a (teIrRuia awfkealBg. In fact it varies iriMB time-to-tlme. Today, however, it means a desire by ns aU to produce as much aa possible for the good of sO.God’a creatures. NOTICE OP SALE state of. South. OUrollBa, County of Kershaw.
