PAGE FOUR 1218 College Street Newberry, S. C. 0. F. ARMFIELD Editor and Publisher One Year .. Published Every Friday Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937, at the post office at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879. KEEP OUT OF EUROPE’S WAR Patriots who’re urging the United Sitates to dive into the European war “to preserve civilization” have for gotten two contribution's that we have made to the preservation of old world civilization in the last quarter of a century. The first was in 1917 when we wen* to war on Germany. During the strug gle that followed we burned up 20 billion dollars, lent our allies about half of that colossal sum, and lost about 260,000 men in killed and wounded. In 1922 we made further effort to help the old world to peace. At a conference in Washington, our states men sat down to a table with the re presentatives of several foreign pow ers to limit naval building in the in terest of world peace. Before we left that table, we had made a solemn agreement to junk the best part of the most powerful fighting shi]>? on the globe. Both of these unselfish moves in behalf of the peace in Europe and Asia have been in vain. How many more sacrifices of blood and treasure do our soft-headed people want to make in vain endeavors to keep peace in the old world? We have been played for “suckers” long enough. Let’s have the patriot ism and love of country to keep out of Europe’s interminable conflicts. put The draft law into OPERATION President Roosevelt has exprest the hope that labor, capital and in dustry will not try to take advantage of the nation’s rearmament program to feather their own nests. v There should be something more postive than a hope to meet this threat—if indeed it becomes threat— to the national defense program. Fortunately, there is something more positive and all the president has to do to make it effective Is to ask congress to put it in operation. It is the draft law. This law is already on the statute books. All that is necessary to swing it into action is for congress 1 to give the word. And congress ought to give the word NOW! Every man needed in the defense program, from laborer to industrial ist, to soldier, should be subjected to the draft TODAY, called to the colors, put on a soldier’s rations and a soldier’s pay, and given to under stand that he’s “in the army now, not behind the plow.” The draft would put every mam on an equal basis in the service of his country, would permit no robbing of the taxpayers in the name of patriot ism, and get the job done with the minimum expenditure of time and money. industrial manager. And so Presi dent Roosevelt starts off with what is really an inadequate organization to make the nation prepared. He has appointed some high-class men, but the lack of unity may be seen from the amazing fact that he appoints a secretary, but not a chairman. It looks too much Ike a feeble effort to blend politics and production. Any practical administrator can forsee the weakness of this arrangement. The statement of Henry Ford that he could produce a thousand stand ardized planes a day—(and at about 1-8 the cost of present planes)—is the language of our industrial gen ius; and it is what we should at once put into the hands of Mr. Ford to carry out. But if in preparing the nation the President is eager to have these things run by his cronies and yes-men we may expect nothing but the same colossal blunders and limitless extravagance which usually characterize everything we Ameri cans undertake. Catastrophes promote religion. When a man’s last ounce of strength isn’t sufficient he remembers the Source from which his mother drew strength. People are talking about the Revelation of John and the vis ion of Daniel. A dozen men here and in Greenville, as well as on the trains and busses, have told me that all the calamity in Europe s a ful filment of the Bible. I don’t know; I have never been interested in Scriptural controversy. If, as so many say, this war is the out growth of sin—as, of course, it is, our read ing of the Scripture for the sake of angumen* will! do no good. The Bible is the inspired call to righteousness and it planly tells of God as a prac tical power in national affairs. Talk ing about God and quoting prophe cies are not evidences' of a regener ated spirit and a purpose to “do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.” In all our ware, and in all our un- derttaikings we are prone to invite God to walk with us and to prosper our ventures; perhaps we would take a surer course if we tried to walk with God. Should Clear Up Scope Of Monroe Doctrine BY SPECTATOR One of the great lessons learned from the first world war was the necessity for unity of command. The Germans and Austrians fought ac cording to the will of one command er and played havoc with the allies, who had separate commanders trying to work together through agreement It was a coiossal failure and its dis astrous consequences continued until threat of utter ruin compelled the selection of a commander-in-chief for all the allied armies. England and France have profited in some measure from the experience of the first world war, so far as starting the war with one supreme commander in the field; but they seem to have remembered every thing of that war without projecting the imagination adequately into the conditions of a new war. All infor mation coming out of Washington in dicates that, we, too, have not pro jected ourselves into the newer field of applied science as it may be adapted to warfare. And we seem to be more or less fossilized. Our country, with a record of shortcomings in the world war, and a lamentable condition of un prepar edness today, sets up an advisory commission on production, leaving officers of the military and naval services in full control, even of pro duction and distribution of supplies. If there’s any one thing that a nation of businessmen should understand it is that the procurement of vast quan tities of supplies is a task of such executive quality a» not usually to be found either in the army or navy. This does not reflect on the officers of our fighting services: their train ing is supposed to be in the techni cal aspect of fighting, and neither by training nor experience are they pre pared for that kind of work which is the daily occupation of a great Our New Deal brethren must not be too cocksure of South Carolina. There has been no real fight on the New Deal here. The New Deal launched a fight on Cotton Ed and tried every means of warfare to an nihilate him; but the Anti-New Deal ers fought a defensive warfare and just beatt off the attacks. But at no time has there been an organized drive against the New Deal except in the State Democratic Convention of 1938. Following that skirmish the New Dealers looked like fellows coming; home after the night before. Do you know your South Carolina? The News and Courier asks that, re ferring to towns, buildings, scenes, etc., within the State, But I ask you if you know your South Caro lina, politically. Think of this: Cer tainly a third of the people of South Carolina are “dry”; at least that many. At least a fourth are so “dry” that they are constantly, con sistently and persistently “dry”. Don’t forget that a fourth of the population, with grievance, is a big bloc, politically. Keep in mind that it was the New Deal which brought about the legal sale of liquor. Now remember that the New Deal has sent an ambassador to the Pape, re calling that to thocusandsi of our peo ple that was an affornt and one causing the deepest resentment as well as the profoundest misgivings. South Carolina is probably fifty per cent against the recognition of the Catholic church, politically. Now— and here is the trump card—South Carolina is 90 per cent against the President on the race issue in poli tics and will say so, with very little urging. Ten per cent of our people will swallow anything for pap, place or politics.

The race ques tion, .the political dickering with the Pope, and the liquor business; would- not a campaign on those issues knock the New Deal into a cocked 1 hat in this State? And there are other maters, too. England! Land of our speech, for we speak English; land of Shakes peare, Milton, John Hampden, Crom well, John Bunyan and John Wesley, mother of pailiaments and represen tative government, through which we have the only practicable expres sion of democracy; law-giver and bul wark of free institutions; the land of our King James version of Holy writ; the soil which bred and nur tured the sportsmanlike qualities which teach us how to win gloriously and how to lose gracefully;—Eng land! How she has annoyed us and worried us ait times; how she has growled at us and bullied us, but in her peril we are sons of Americans and gramdlsans of Great Britain. Whether Irish, Scotch or English in origin, or if a blend of all—yet do we draw near in spirit as an impious hand would throttle her. This is not our war; nor are we concerned about the imperial ambi tions which motivated it; but one need not be a phophet to forsee that neither this country nor South Ameri ca will let Britain fall. This is a good time to clear up the scope of the Monroe Doctrine. When I was in South America no country except Peru accepted us as a big brother. Argentine, Brazil, Chile,— and others—declared themselves un willing to be under our protection. Mexico, likewise, was too proud to rejoice in the strength of our navy. Let us determine the quesion now. If Argentina and our Southern Latin friends resent the Monroe Doctrine and the implied protection of their national integrity by the United States, let us cease the foolish ambi tion to police and protect three thousand males of coast of South America. We have a special inter est in the territory bordering on the Panama Canal and such neighbors a» Mexico and the West Indian colonies of Great Britain. But we need not assume a respbnsbility which Brazil, Chile and Argentina can well assume for themselves. So it is a propitious moment to deter mine exactly what our obligations are. We don’t need the Philippines either, and should give them their independeinice with our benediction. MRS. O. M. COBB GUEST ONCE-A-WEEK CLUB Mrs. O. M. Cobb was invited to play contract with the members of the Once-A-Veek club when it met Friday afternoon. Mrs. Herman Wright was hostess.
