mmm. l^eWitt Press who Foreign spoke Mackenize, Affairs Assocla- Ana
to the Griffin
if Raiding County Chamber
of Commerce at its aVinual
meeting last winter, says that
any move on the part of Ameri
ca and the other democracies to
“appease" Russia "would be
! disastrous.”
We featured hi* dispatch a
qross the top of page one in
Thursday’s issue, because we
believed It worth the big “play"
, ■ > it was given. Mackenzie, a stu
dent of history and of foreign
affairs, a man who has visited
every comer of the globe many
times and has talked with
kings, emperors, dictators and
the rank and tile of people, ig
In a position to know how dan
gerous it would be if we were to
try to appease Russia
No doubt but that Mackenzie
had Chamberlain and Hitler in
mind when he wrote this dis
patch.
You - will remember tha(
Chamberlain went to Germany
for a conference with Hitler—
then Just beginning’to show
his power. Chamberlain came
away after the conference say
ing “we will have no war in our
time.”
TOtier had bluffed Chamber
lain to the extent ttujfe Cham
berlain was Willing “for the
f sake of peace In our time” to
give in to some of Hitler’s de
mands.
World War Two, with all the
misery and suffering that re
sulted, was started right then
and there.
Had Chamberlain refused to
“appease'’ Hitler by granting
part of his desires—there would
have ben no World War Two.'
Hitler did not expect Cham
berlain to grant him everything
he asked for. So he asked for
plenty, hoping} to fool the poor
old Britisher into granting part
of his requests.
Hitler was like a persistent
bill collector. He managed to
get his toe into the door and
there was no closing the door
in his face after that.
■
J<
wou M be tickled pink t the
democracies would grant him
just part of what he wants. The
whole Berun situation was
the demoLcL into action
where thev would " an »o«"
Russia to gain “peace to our
time«
Surelv thlnkimr Munich nennie will
remember and'
lain and Hitler will not fall
for
The onlv wav to nrevent war
to our generation or to the
generations to come is to tell
Joe Stalin very positively that
he has gone entirely too far, to
get out, and to behave him
self—or else. »
We cannot afford to make
another "appeasement” blund
er In this generation. Stalin
and his people know nothing
but military strength. Let’s
stop talking “soft” and shadow
boxing and create such a strong
Army, Navy and Air Force that
Stalto cannot sleep at night for
fear that an atom bomb will be
dropped beside hie bed!

McGrath made it plain that so
far as he is concerned there will be
no compromise with the Southern
Democrats who opposed President
Truman's election and have threat
ened to fillibuster his anti-race
discrimination program.
Without laying out any time ta
ble, the national chairman told a
news conference Thursday he per
sonally favors a change in the Se
nate debate rules to kill off filli
busters.
Any such move itself would be
subject to a talkathon by Dixie
members. And McGrath wouldn’t
risk a guess whether the majority of
Senate Democrats would support
such a charge. ,
Most Republicans, who will be in
a 54 to 42 minority in the new Se
nate, are expected to back it.

Spalding High’s Wolf pack will
meet the Gainesville Red Elephants
at Flynt Field Saturday night at 6
o’clock in Spalding's last game of
the 1948 football season.
The game had been scheduled for
tonight but was postponed because
of bad weather.
This game probably will be the
most grueling yet played by the
Wolf pack. Gainesville is noted for
the fine teams they produce
and this year was no exception
They tied a strong Griffin team,
waited a tew weeks and battered a
strong tfecatur although they
lost, waited a few more weeks anc
defeated LaGrange who was on the
way to the championship with a
string of eight straight victories.
After losing to Fulton in one of
their closest contests last week
Spalding will be more determined
to take this one, but the odds are
against them. Gainesville has more
weight on the line and in the back
field. They have much more ex
perience than the Wolf pack and
they have a good passing and run
ning attack.
In their game against LaGrang*
last week they attempted three
passes of which two were good. One
went for a touchdown. The yard
age, gaiged was « Thto nm
ntag attack is featured % MS
pound fullback Marvin Free who is
a strong contender for All-State
honors. Marvin Free and Jackie
Roberts, Along with Center Ernest
Nivens, have been the backbone at
the Red Elephants.
Spalding boasts some good men
too, and what they lack in exper
ience they have in spirit and deter
mination. Their running attack is
featured by Kenneth Newbem who
plays fullback. He is a small,
speedy back and one of the state’s
best runners. rv
Adolphus galley at quarterback
will provide the passing and he, at
time, will run the ball along with
James Harkness, another speedy
back field man. Pete Ponder Is an
other fine back but his playing
has been limited.
The Spalding team has practiced
In earnest this week getting ready
for their closing game.

Griffin Milk Price
Hike Depends Upon
Meeting On Dec 7 m
Milk consumers In Griffin and
Spalding County may not know
whether there will be an increase
in the local prices until after the
special meeting of the Georgia
Milk Board Dec. 1.
Charlie Duncan, former Qrif
finite and newly appointed milk
board director, has called the De
cember meeting to determine whe
ther a two-cent-a-quart hike will
be allowed in Atlanta.
A similar boost in the milk prices
in Griffin ai& other cities in the
state depend on tf.. outcome of this
hearing. Several other cities over
the state are awaiting the outcome
of the Atlanta hearing before pre
senting their petition!! to the board.
Local milk distributors have
pointed out that if an increase ti
allowed in the Atlanta milk tiled,
Orttffo distributors will need a

it possible for them to compete with
the Atlanta market.
They explained that teh increase
asked by the AtianU distributor*
will go to the producers.
The board members, shortly aft
er they had been swoAa in by Gov.
Herman Talmadge Thursday, set
the date for the hearing. They held
the decision in abeyance until
then.
The increase already has bee '
halted by a court injunction. At
torney General Eugene Cook mid,
however, the injunction lost its
force when the board membership
changed—unless it could be alter
ed to list the new members as de
fendants.
