Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937, at
the post office at Newberry, South Carolina, under the
Act of March 3, 1879.
After the last war, the American
people were definitely sick and tired
of militarism and all that it involved.
Working on the theory that “the
war to end all wars’’ had been finally
fought and won, the American peo
ple and their government proceeded
to scrap their military power with
astonishing speed. A large .part of
the navy was scuttled. The army
was reduced to 130,000—a smaller
force than was maintained by many
a fourth-class European power. The
air force was reduced almost to the
vanishing point. Appropriations for
all the military services were cut to
the absolute bone, despite the warn
ings and pleadings of such fore-
sighted commanders as General Mac.
Arthur, who was convinced that
another and greater war was coming
and said so to a disbelieving nation.
We withdrew ourselves from our
foreign commitments as swiftly as
possible, and pursued a policy of
100 per cent isolation.
The American people seem to think
in very different terms today, They,
and their leaders in' both parties, are
coming to realize the immense obli
gations which our world leadership
will impose on us after, as well as
during the war. As the United
States News puts it, after the war,
“The world will be in no shape to
run itself . . .there will be the task
of policing and of putting on their
feet the 300,000,000 people of Eu
rope. There will be the task of
dealing with 80,000,000 people in Ja
pan . . A year or two may elapse be
tween the last battle and the actual
peace treaty. During this period . . .
large occupational forces wll be
needed . . . The size of the task in
volved indicates a force of 1,000,000
to 2, 000,000 men outside the United
States.”
No one regards this prospect with
any particular pleasure. Instead, it
is regarded as a matter of sheer nec
essity, whether we like it or not.
And there ".s an amazing unanimity
of opinion as to what must be done.
For instance, both Mr. Roosevelt and
Mr. Willkie, who hold extremely op
posed views on many vital domestic
issues, see almost eye to eye when it
comes to America’s role as stabilizer
and policeman in the post-war world
Former President Hoover is co-auth
or of a thoughtful new book in which
he too argues that the American
destiny lies in a kind of internation
alism which is the direct antithesis
of our national attitude during the
’20s. And American industrial lead
ers, in all the fields of enterprise,
hold similar opinions. These is, of
course, much argument as to the de
tails of our post-war policy—but
there is little argument as to the
basic principles which must undier-
ly that policy.
It will cost a great deal of money
to police and to rehabilitate the
world. It will require the mainten
ance of a gigantic air force, and of
a very large navy and army. It may
involve outright gifts to stricken
nations. It will mean that, in the
interest of world peace, we will hS^e
to forego some of our past trade ad
vantages, and dispense with high
tariffs and other barriers to
doing this, gigantic as it may be, is
far less than the cost of fighting a
terrible war every generation or two.
It is also argued that, due to the in
credible production machine we will
have at the war’s end, our national
income will be so high that we will
be able to afford expenditures which
would have been impossible in the
past.
This, of course, is a form of imper
ialism. But its principal spokes
men, such as Wallace, Welles, Roqse-
vent, Hoover and Willkie, say that
it will have little in common with
the imperialism of the past. They
say it will not be based, as was the
old imperialism, on subject peoples.
Instead, it is to be based on more or
less equal peoples, with each given
full opportunity to share in the
wealth and progress of the world.
There are skeptics who ddubt that
this can be done. Even its zealous
advocates admit it is a colossal un
dertaking. It will be a journey ot
economic and social exploration for
which there are neither charts nor
precedents. But millions of men and
women believe that unless it suc
ceeds, “the last, best hope of earth”
will be lost, and a new dark age will
come upon the world.
SNOOPING IN
BY
DRAFT CHARGED
SMITH
The terrific reverses in Lybia are
a tribute to German military leader
ship—and a harsh criticism on Brit
ish military leadership. That seejns
to be the collective opinion of most
authorities. The British were super
ior in the air and on the ground.
That superiority gave them fatal
confidence. And Marshal Rommel
and his Afrika Korps took a long
and daring chance and succeeded.
The battle of Egypt is of utmost
importance. If Hitler can sieze the
Middle East, to which Egypt is the
gateway, he will have resources and
geographical positions whose value
cannot be exaggerated. He will be
well on his way to making contact
with Japan. He will, with his sat
ellite Italy, dominate the vital Medi
terranean, Every resource the Unit
ed Nations can muster will be used
for the defense of the Middle east.
The Russian defense against vast
ly superior German legions has been
nothing short of miraculous. Hitler
is apparently throwing everything he
has into the Russian front now. If
that effort can be stopped before too
much territory is lost, a long step
toward breaking German military
power will have been taken.
WINS HOME, CAR, GROCERIES
NEEDS GIRL
Washington, July 2—Senator Elli
son D. (Cotton Ed) Smith, Demo
crat, South Carolina, today charged
the selective service system with
snooping into the most personal af
fairs of draft registrants by means
of detailtd questionnaires.
The questionnaires to which he
referred were those sent to regis
trants since the registration of Feb
ruary 16. They are in addition to
occupational questionnaires previous
ly sent out and are made up of eight
pages of letter size. They contain
approximately 125 questions.
Smith said that the questionnaires
go into the most intimate matters of
personal financing and property
ownership which can have nothing
to do with determining whether a
man should or should not be draft
ed.
“We had the same question when
the census was being taken,” he
said. “Government bureaucrats are
using authority delegated to them
by congress to play Paul Pry.
“The local draft boards at a sim
ple interview can determine whether
he should not. He can give them
the information and not put himself
down on an oath given record for
government officials to use as a club
over him.”
The family allotment bill just
passed by congress was supposed to
take care of fhmily dlependencjes,
Smith pointed out.
These allotments, with deductions
made from the increased pay grant
ed to members of the armed services,
he continued, were enacted by con
gress to give dependents all possi
ble aid and enable the nation to call
men to the colors without causing
too much distress to those left at
home.
“I suppose,” Smith went on, “that
they will soon be using these forms
in the treasury department to com
pare with income tax returns so they
can collect more money from some
people.”
The South Carolinian asserted
that the country’s whole democratic
system of government is being “shot
full of holes under the pretext of
war time necessity’’ and delegation
of congressional authority to the
executive branch of government.
Under this system, he continued,
the very attitude of such men as
Patrick Henry, John Adams, Thomas
Jefferson and others would make
them subject to trial as traitors.
“If we had a supreme court—
which we do not have any more
I have no doubt it would hold that
congress itself had no power to
delegate authority to others without
the sanction of a constitutional
amendment,” he said.
Smith said he intended to look
further into the authority behind
, the drawing of such questionnaires
l to see who is responsible for them.

lett of Fort Ord had the house, the
furniture, and the automobile, he is
now in Little Rock, Ark., to see about

AMERICAN SOLDIER HIGHEST
PAID, BEST TREATED
With the voting of $50 base pay
for service men, privates in Uncle
Sam’s army are now richer than
many a common civilian.
It is believed that another bill to
give cash benefits to the dependents
of those in the service will likely go
through congress. This would pro
vide $28 for the wife of a man in
the service. Added would be S22
from the soldier’s pay, making $50
for the dependent, and at the same
time leaving $28 for the use of the
service man, an increase of $7 over
the old $21-a-monbh base pay.
Undoubtedly the United States
soldier is the best treated and high
est paid serviceman the world has
ever known. His food is of the finest
quality, most of his recreational
needs are taken care of at govern
ment expense, his equipment is rap
idly becoming second to none, and
his spiritual needs are ministered, to
by an army of chaplains.
By SPECTATOR
Our Nation really owes its present
form to George Washington and a
few other clear thinkers who saw
that if the thirteen states would live
as one great body they could live in
peace and use their means and their
talents in developing a mighty com
monwealth out of the states and
their territories., But that if they
become exclusive, or built barriers
against one another, they would be
come embroiled in jealousies and re
prisals. In the early days following
the Revolution, New York was arous
ed against New Jersey and Connecti
cut—New Jersey shipped poultry and
Connecticut shipped fire-wood. New
York imposed a tariff barrier against
both products. New Jersey retaliat
ed by taking the light house for New
York harbor, which was on land of
New Jersey, while Connecticut boy
cotted New York. The great Consti
tution grew out of these trade bar
riers. It created a nation on free,
untrammelled commerce among the
states. Since then we have developed
barriers. When a truck starts from
Florida for Maine, or from Califor
nia for New York, it can’t smoothly
run along the fine roads, with regard
only for tires and gasoline; it must
be weighed and measures in some
states and taxed and re-taxed, in the
same states, or others. We ought to
declare all these state barriers un
constitutional and open the highways
to the free flow of commerce among
the states.
Other barriers to free trade among
ourselves exist, some of them being
built by the same spirit which brought
about our Constitution. Just now I’m
interested in cotton, and all the pro
ducts or derivaties from cotton. Cot
ton, as you know, is full of seed when
harvested. The seed are rich in oil
and are crushed for oil in our cot
ton seed oil mills. After the oil is
pressed out there is left cotton seed
meal, a very rich, concentrated food,
as well as excellent fertilizer. The
oil is used for a multitude of pur
poses, one of them being the manu
facture of Oleomargarine, about 150
million pounds of cotton seed oil be
ing used every year for Oleo, this be
ing a little more than half the total
production. As a ton of cotton seed
yields about 300 pounds of crude
cotton seed oil the Oleo demand for
cotton seed oil requires about one bil
lion pounds of seed, about all the seed
from the cotton produced on 3,000,-
000 acres. The 3ale of our cotton
seed is quite an item to cotton farm
ers, and the extraction of the oil is
a large business in South Carolina.
Here comes the trade barrier: Our
friends of the dairying states have
persuaded Congress and some state
legislatures to exclude Oleo, or to tax
it heavily, because they are afraid it
will compete witb their butter. Con
gress taxes the manufacturer of Oleo
and taxes also the wholesalers and
retailers who sell it. So some states
have built barriers against cotton seed
oil products and have persuaded Con
gress to join them. It so happens
that Oleo could be sold so cheap that
every family would have an ample fat
supply as the dieticians urge. Why
should one state or ten states have
either state or federal laws as a bar
rier to the sale of the lawful pro
ducts of another state?
Here in South Carolina we are
building barriers against free trade,
even within the state. Towns of few
er than 1,000 population may require
a license of trucks coming from other
towns. Towns of more than 1,000
may not lawfully require these licen
ses but they are doing so in many in
stances. Sometimes they refer to
what is vaguely called police pow
er—which is an abstraction about as
nebulous as the much-discussed War
Power of a President. At any rate,
we are building barriers even within
the state against ourselves. They
should all be outlawed as against the
fundamental rights of free American
citizens.
vor of compulsory courses in Ameri
can history to develop good citizens.
Just what the good citizenship is to
rest on I don’t see.
History is one of the subjects most
frequently mistaught. When a dry,
uninspiring teacher has the subject it
becomes a nightmare. Yet it is the
record of man’s struggles and
achievements. Great wars and bloody
battles are not all that history has to
tell; nor yet the brave show of mqr-
tial heroes in all the pomp and pa
noply of battle. True enough that the
present-day rights of men often came
as the result of war, or a show of
force. We need not go back farther
than the year 1215, when the nobles
of England cornered King John on
the little isle of Runnymede and
forced him to grant a charter. On
that charter, called the Magna Carta,
is built the freedom of all British and
Americans today. If we read our
National Constitution, with the
amendments, we shall learn much of
the struggle for the liberties which
we enjoy so freely in this country.
Some college authorities fear to re
quire American history lest the re
quirement create a prejudice against
the subject. The more one thinks of
that the more unsound it seems. It
is the business of colleges and univer
sities to teach. If a freshman or a
sophomore is a better judge of what
should be taught than the men and
women who direct popular education
we might carry the idea a little for-
ther by asking why we should do
anything which does not appeal to us.
We used to be told about the mental
discipline which would result from
certain studies. If history were
taught as mental discipline it would
be about as bad as the grand old
Spring tonics of our childhood; but it
should be the most absorbing topic of
the day. Suppose we should have the
America of today taught through the
great novels on periods of our life?
There are probably great stories
which would arouse the interest of
any young man and provide the back
ground for an accurate statement of
facts. Who can understand, or ap
preciate, this America of ours who
does not know its beginnings and the
struggles during the years ? Are we
to let the boys and girls think of
America as just the land of bath tubs,
of radios, of baseball, hot dogs, ham
burgers, barbecues and bottled
drinks? Is it just a place of movies
and automobiles? Well, if America is
the land of joyous living, where “hot-
dogs, all-theway”, can be had in any
town, and even along the roads, no
coutry of Europe offers them today;
and behind much of our frivolity was
the sacrifice of those who made this
a free country.
One New York college reported that
only two per cent of its graduating
class had taken United States history;
one Southern university reported only
15 per cent of its graduates as taking
such a course.
The teaching of history in hi^h
school is not the same as college
work, properly conducted. Our lack
is instructors broadly trained qnd
capable of making the great subject
one of fascination. Some one raises
the question how we can expect
American boys to be all-oot f° r
America if they know nothing of
what America really stands for.
A war can become a mere battle
lust, or it can become a titanic cru
sade to conserve things that are sac
red.
What are we fighting for?
Isn’t it worth the attention of col
leges and universities?

Henry Morgenthau Jr., Secretary of the Treasury, today made public the official War Bond Quotas by States for
the month of July, which places the nation on a Billion-dollar-a-month basis to aid in meeting the War cost. The above
table also gives May War Bond sales in the various states in comparison to the May Quotas. (June sales by states will be
available for publication shortly.) The percentage of Quotas range from 71.3 percent above quota in Utah, to 22.6 percent
below the quota in Montana, but puts the nation as a whole above the $600,000,000 total May quota. Vulnerable Alaska
and Hawaii led all states in sale of War Bonds on quota basis.
“Everybody, every pay day ten percent” is the Treasury slogan which is expected to place one of the attractive new
window stickers in every American home. “We’re Buying at Least 10%” reads the sticker, printed in the national col
ors. The new window stickers and the new “10%” lapel button, which indicates the wearer is investing at least ten per
cent of his income in War Bonds every pay day, are yardsticks of patriotism in the War Bond drive.
The National Cotton Council of
America has written to President
Roosevelt against the demand of the
C. I. O. for a general wage increase
of twenty cents an hour in Southern
textile mills. The letter reminds the
President that in his message to Con
gress on the 27th of April of this
year he stated that the rise in the
cost of living must be stopped. In
that message the President added
very significantly that all the fac
tors which make up the cost of living
—profits, wages and prices—must be
stabilized. Now we have the textile
workers demanding a 40 per cent in
crease in wages. To make matters
worse, the Price Administration has
fixed the ceilings for cotton products.
If ceilings have been placed on the
prices for cotton goods how can tex
tile wages be increased forty per
cent? The Cotton Council reminds
President Roosevelt that in that same
message of April 27th he said that
“for nine years it had been the pol
icy of the government to give the
farmer an assurance of equality in in
dividual purchasing power with his
fellow Americans who work in indus
try”. As a fact, as the letter states,
the cotton farmer has less than ohe-
half the purchasing power which the
individual cotton mill worker has.
Is history worth studying, or is it
just a lot of bunk? One of our most
widely known indnstrilists was once
quoted as saying that history is a lot
of bunk. Do our American colleges
and universities think that the record
of the growth and development of
America and its institutions is not
worth the serious study of men and
women attending colleges ?
The New York Times has recently
made a nation-wide survey of the
subject and reports that 690 institu
tions answered the inquiry, and that
82 per cent do not require the study
of United States history; 72 per cent
do not require it as an entrance re
quirement. Many students complete
a four year course without any work
whatever in American history.
A rather singular thing is that 69
CAUTHEN NOW
AIDE
MANNING
Columbia, June- 30—Governor R.
M. Jefferies said yesterday he would
not appoint any one his executive
secretary, for the time being at any
rate, following announcement by John
K. Cauthen that he had resigned the
post.
Mr. Cauthen said he was resign
ing to “J>ecome associated with Colo
nel Wyndham M. Manning in his
campaign for the governorship.” The
resignation has been accepted by the
governor and Mr. Cauthen is ex
pected to take up his new duties at
an early date.
While Mr. Cauthen’s statement
was merely that he would “become
associated ’’ with Colonel Manning,
it was understood that he would di
rect the campaign. He was not in
Columbia yesterday.
Mr. Cauthen’s first connection
with the office of governor began
last November when he was en
gaged as executive secretary by the
late Governor J. E. Harley. Gover

1942, and Governor Jefferies, who
succeeded Governor Harley, retain
ed Mr. Cauthen as executive secre

For a short time, Mr. Cauthen
was connected with the state high
way department, and prior to that
time had been engaged in news
paper work for about fifteen years
in Charleston and Columbia. He was
on the editorial staff of The News
and Courier in Charleston and in Co
lumbia was on the staff of the Co
lumbia Record.
He said he was leaving the gov
ernor’s office “with regret,’’ and add
ed:
“My work with Governor Jeffer
ies has been most pleasant. He is an
able leader and South Carolina is
fortunate in having him at the helm
at this critical time.”
Mr. Cauthen is a son of the late
Rev. H. J. Cauthen, Methodist min
ister, and Mrs. Cauthen, and as a
boy lived in North Augusta, where
he was born; in York, Walterboro,
Georgetown, Darlington, and Char
leston. His home now is in Colum
