We Should Be Nice and Friendly—
As the Japs Were at Pearl Harbor^
Is Opinion Given by the Spectator
So many mass meetings are being
held throughout South Carolina call
ing for the full force of a united ef
fort to win the war that I can’t keep
up with them. Bamberg citizens
have called for a check on profiteers
and racketeers. All this lack of
thorough-going participation springs
from a weak or confused leadership.
Let the people continue to press
their demands for all our time and
force. How can we play politics in
Washington while thousands of om
boys face the enemy at sea in the
air, and on land in Britain, Asia
and Australia?
This is no time to be New Dealers
or Old Dealers. We are Americans
who have already suffered numerous
defeats and many sinkings at sea.
The one task before America is to
win the war. The fathers and moth
ers, the wives, brothers and sisters,
the sons and daughters of men in
our fighting services have the right
to demand that WE AT HOME shall
not fail to support the men on the
firing line. They can’t fight by
hours, nor dictate time and a half
for overtime in coming to grips in
battle. And while they risk their
lives without flinching and without
stint, so we at home must not be less
purposeful, nor less heroically dedi
cated to win the war. The mass
meeting at Marion was inspired by
the sacrifice of a soldier boy of Mar
ion who gave his life for our Coun
try. Do you wonder, fellow citizens,
that with that fresh sacrifice of fine,
vigorous young manhood in the
hearts our fellow Americans of Mar
ion should not be tolerant of politi
cal by-plays in Washington ? If we
must force the hand of our Govern
ment, we must remember that the
big price of this war will not be paid
by profiteers, racketeers or boon-
dogglers, but by those who go forth
to battle, risking their lives, suffer
ing every kind of hardship, danger
and privation—all to bring victory
to our Nation. When we look at the
boys we send to face the enemy, and
all his contrivances of destruction,
how can we talk of social gains, a
forty-hour week, and all that sort of
thing? The sons of labor are in the
ranks, too, of course, and thousands
of their homes suffer the heartache
common to all homes today. All are
united before the enemy; let us be
united back home in the war effort
to give them planes and munitions.
The Japanese complain that the
Americans are fighting a war of hate
and revenge. Well, of course, that
is all wrong. We should be nice and
friendly—as the Japs were at Pearl
Harbor, when the Yellow demons
slipped up treacherously and killed
more than three thousand of our
people. So let us be friendly, in the
manner that the Japs best under
stand, carrying fire and sword, plane
torpedoes, mines and machine guns.
The Japanese have a terrible thrash
ing due them and we must eame.-tly
hope that they will not be able to
escape it.
I’ve read that the Charleston Cen
tral Labor Union demands a federal
investigation of Organized Business,
Incorporated, and its president, C.
Norwood Has tie, because we advo
cate the passage of a bill, introduced
by Representative Smith of Virginia,
by which the Nation would use its in
herent sovereign power td" make
some men work, if some must fight.
Well, obviously, the man who ought
to be investigated, arrested and cast
into prison, is Representative Smith.
If he can introduce the bill, without
calling down fire from heaven, we

ought to be fllowed to endorse it. As
a matter of fact, the Charleston
Union, by condemning the Smith bill,
is doing what we did; that is, it is
expressing its opinion. Is the Char
leston Union entitled to an opinion
more than we? Are our friends and
brethren of Labor entitled to all the
hours, wages, laws, enforcement
boards, and rll the opinion, too?
May we not have, at least, the right
to an opinion? Our Charleston La
bor friends and fellow citizens are
not as narrow as that, I know.
In Charleston, and throughout
South Carolina, there is a good feel
ing among us, which makes this
State a shining example of peace,
tolerance and good will. We don’t
challenge or deny the right of labor
to petition as it pleases; and it
exercises that right in a big way, as
we all know. But the rest of us
are American citizens also; and we
also are supporting the Nation with
taxes and sons and ourselves, if
drafted, and we cherish all oijr rights
as citizens.
Organised Business, Incorporated,
asks nothing for itself. It does not
petition the Congress for high prices,
nor for exclusive privileges or con
sideration; we do not ask that every
one 'be compelled to deal only with
us. What it is trying to do is as
much for the benefit of the sons and
daughters of Labor as for any one
else. It seeks to develop new busi
ness in South Carolina; to create
new opportunities for emrployimemt;
to develop markets for our products.
In many of our efforts we have co
operated with Organized Labor, and
we hope a program of constructive
effort will always find us working
together.
I take occasion to ask my friends
of Labor what a federal investiga
tion would uncover. As to our ac
tivities in Organized Business, we
speak and write so that all maj
know what we advocate and what
we oppose. As to Mr. Hastie him
self, our friends will find a citizen
who is trying to serve his city, has
State and his country. They will
find a man paying a lot of taxes;
but, above all, they will find a man
who offered himself/ without pay;
who has sent two sons to our coun
try’s service, both serving as privates
in the great army of embattled Am
erica. Some of us who are over age
have volunteered more than once
and ask nothing except a call to
duty. Perhaps in a few months some
of us in Organized Business and
some now in Organized Labor will
walk side by side in Khaki, drawing
twenty-one dollare a month and re
newing a cultivated taste for gold
fish, corned Willie and bully beef
toute de suite.
Any farmer who compalins of a
lack of moisture must be hard to
please. Likewise, I hope the hydro
electric plants have all the water
they need. Aftr all, there hasn’t
been much dust lately. That’s some
thing to be thankful for.
Greenwood, Orangeburg and Aiken
have held meetings protesting
against strikes in munitions plants,
or others engaged in preparations
for war. The President squarely op
poses any increase in the base of
forty hours a week, with time and
a half for overtime. I can’t under
stand that attitude when we recall
that soldiers in the War Zone have
no time and a half or double time.
It ought not to require disasters
near us to shake off the political
cloak.

The demand of some farmers for
a price and a half for after hour
delivery of eggs and milk and double
prices for all delivered on Sundays,
I think ought to be endorsed by our
Government.
Labor leaders meet with the Presi
dent, I’m told, every week. They
must be a sort of extra, private
cabinet. However, much the Presi
dent may regard himself as leader
of a “PARTY TIED UP WITH LA
BOR’’, as his Attorney General said,
the American people are not taking
kindly to it and will force Congress
to untie the knot. The attitude of
the people is becoming more and
more emphatic in the many resolu
tions recently adopted. Heretofore the
people have bowed so submissively
before the Presidential dignity that
all appeals and demands have been
addressed to Congress. Of late,
however, the resolutions and peti
tions, the demands and the protests,
have been addressed to the President
and to the Congress.
The tie-up between Mr. Roosevelt
and Labor will not be able to with
stand a barrage on Congress. If
this is a land of equal rights and
opportunity the people will shed
their last drop of blood for it; but if
this is a ©uuntry dedicated exclu
sively to Labor or to Labor and other
New Deal beneficiaries, the new set
up will crash before the resentment
of the majority of the people. Surely
the present danger is sufficient to
make us one people, united in a great
effort to save the Nation, but the
spirit of service and sacrifice must
be the rule of all. We certainly
cannot let the peril of war be used
to build up or maintain political
groups or favorites.

The latest annual report of the
Tax Commission tells something
about the counties which surprises
me. I live in a county of about one
large industrial plant—a lumber
mill. Other lumber plants there are,
some grist mills, but decidedly ours
is not an industrial county. It is
perhaps almost the least favored by
large taxpayers. I thought Abbe
ville much better because it has a
cotton mill, rail road shops—and all
that. But under the head of “MER
CHANTS, SUNDRY MANUFACT
URERS AND PRINTERS” the ass-
sessed valuation for my county is
$260,170.00, whereas Abbeville shows
$149,190.00. Beaufort shows $181,-
266.00, though how. Beaufort exceeds
the Abbeville valuation and Baimt-
berg’s $162,610.00 I can’t understand
for Bamberg proudly claims both
Bamberg and Denmark. Colleton,
which boasts the Bishop’s big paper,
and is the hive of tourism, shows
only $195,650.00. A real surprise to
me was Kershaw there, with its
boulevards, but Camden, a queenly
city, and Bethune far away. Of
course the town of Kershaw is partly
in Lancaster County. Little Claren
don, with $260,170.00 surpasses
mighty Union with a real city, and
with Jonesville and Buffalo thrown
m—Union County showing $227,110,
while Williamsburg shown $290,265.
I looked up Barnwell, second or
third capital of the State, depending
on whether a Governor can put Col
leton over Barnwell, recalling that
Barn-well has the Speaker of the
House, the Chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee and the Chair
man of the Ways and Means Com
mittee of the House. Well, Barn
well County shows only $151,285,
though that proud County boasts the
towns of Barnwell, Blackville, Wil-
liston and Dunbarton.
Among the big boys, consider
Charleston, with $2,873,245, although
outside of Charleston there is only
McClellansville, (and North Char
leston) while Greenville big city and
industrial giant that it is, and- sur
rounded by good towns, shows only
$3,000,145, while Spartanburg Coun
ty, rich, proud and ambitious, with
all the good towns which thrive with
in her borders, shows only $1,909,-
620. Sumter has $774,805, and no
large town is found in Sumter coun
ty except the hustling little game
cock City of Sumter, yet York Coun
ty, with rich Rock Hill, solid old
York, pushful Fort Mill, and sedate
Sharon—shows only $609,335.
Well, now, what about all this?
What does it signify; or does it sig
nify?
