r WASHINGTON. (NWNS). — Al
though President Roosevelt is gen
erally given credit for being the
father of the New Deal, there is
little doubt, after listening to the
testimony of former Vice President
Wallace before the senate com
merce committee, that Mr. Wallace
Is its most Srdent guardian.
For in his statement to the com
mittee, Mr. Wallace frankly and
clearly expounded all of the princi
pals of New Dealism and went sev
eral steps farther than the Presi
dent has ever gone in proposing
government-controlled social re
forms. It was obvious, while lis
tening to Mr. Wallace, that this
committee hearing was an historic
event For his appeal really put it
■up to our representatives in Wash
ington to^ decide, once and for all,
whether our government should
become a loving and generous par
ent to the people, or should consider
personal social responsibilities to
be outside of its province.
Mr. Wallace made it crystal clear
that the kind of government he
dreams about, and will work for, is
one which will guarantee a job to
every man, will assure each citizen
a comfortable home, adequate
medical care, protection against
economic worries, and a good edu
cation. He wants to make the Presi
dent's "Second Bill of Rights"—the
proposal which includes all of these
social programs—as important as
the original Bill of Rights. And he
thinks the government should spend
whatever number of billions, is
necessary to carry out this plan for
"prosperity and security for all."
Although there are many in
Washington who bitterly oppose ,
Mr. Wallace’s goals, and con
sider them highly impractical,
even they will admit that he
' pot his cards on the table and
' left it up to the people and
1 their representatives to decide
whether they want his social
ised type or government or
whether they don’t.
Mr. Wallace said that the chief
question in deciding whether he
should be secretary of commerce
and head of the RFC should hinge
on whether RFC funds should be
used to help small business or only
large business. .But he later made it
clfear that there was a lot more to
the decision than that when he ex
pounded his social philosophy of
government and his determination,
if put in power, to give life to that
philosophy.
It is believed by many here j
that Mr. Wallace has high <
hopes of being the next Presi- !
dent of the United States and |
that President Roosevelt is
working with him toward that
end. It is evident that the man '
who controls billions of dollars
of RFC funds, and who will
have a major hand in the post- j
war employment program, may
be in an excellent position -to
run for that office. v
Although the Wallace debate took
the limelight temporarily away
from the national service act, that
measure undoubtedly is the most
important war measure which con
gress has had to decide upon in a
long time. And from the political
viewpoint it is one of the most dif
ficult decisions congress has ever
had to make. For it is supported by
the President, by the army, by the
navy and by war agencies, but is op
posed by representatives of labor
and of industry. That means a
definite split in congress, even
though Under-Secretary of War
Patterson, in an interview with the
North American Newspaper Al
liance, tried to make it entirely a
war problem when he said, “The
issue now before congress is wheth
er the home front is really ready to
go all-out in backing our men at the
fighting fronts, or whether it is
not.”

leading a movement to have one
million men at their radios to hear

that this number of men will be
secured to hear this prominent and

ate the spiritual life in America.
They are carried over thirty-siv
stations as a public service and
are heard all over the South.

McCormick School
The unusual pupil adds variety
and individuality to a school. We
like for these pupils to be out
standing in friendliness, character,
scholarship, or citizenship. The
pupils excel who try to do right
toward all school activities.
Let’s discourage those pupils
who try to do unwise things, just
to get by with something. Don’t
follow your neighbor, learn to form
your opinions, and live by your de
cisions.

thing to put our time in because
it will help the paper shortage.
“Yet I doubt not through the

It’s rather difficult for us living
in this crucial hour of the world’s
history to place any confidence or
faith in a “far off divine event”
towards which the world is mov
ing. With the aerial navies rain
ing ghastly death and destruction
upon the human race, any idea of
a sovereign Gcd who controls th<-
destiny of all men seems to be s
bit frivolous and ridiculous.
But the same poet who dreamec’

and destruction upon the world

done a magnificent job.
As we enter a new year, the de

sential for every man and woma*
to do everything to help in the
huge task of getting the food pro
duced and seeing that it is con
served and shared. Many of our
favorite foods are scarce.
To this end, I ask the people in
cities, towns and villages to assist

to reach the food goals v/hichhave
