E, A, Betrayed Or Betrayer h By BRUCE CATTON When Leonor F. Loree jumped up in meeting, waved a S2O bill and declared that the ending of the gold standard was a henious violation of trust, he started a lot oI peopis thinking along lines he hadn’t intended. His point, of courgk, was simpie enough. He had fA“his hand a S2O bill. When it went into circula tion it was worth S2O in gold; today it is not; hence the government has done something horrible. IBut the spectacle of this Wall street man beating his breast is nothing less than grotesque when you put it up against its proper background. . Past of that background is the farm belt. ~ In the farm belt there are a lot of farmers jump ing up in meeting and waving bits of paper—mort ages, which were contracted when it took one m%t wheat to buy a dollar and which must be paid when it takes two bushels to buy a dollar. The framers have been the victims of a betrayal g@ as cruel as that which harrows the soul of M .';;l'gree—-crueller, perhaps, for no one supposes that Mr. Loree is in danger of losing his honde and his bread and butter. “Furthermore, the petrayal that came to them came while the dollar was firmly anchored to gold. They were undone by “sound money’’—money which for _"él_g\lts soundness, was worth one thing when they berrowed it and another when they had to pay it back: Their demands for relief are just as valid as Mr. Loree’s—more. so, perhaps, for our departure from gold..has not brought the well-fed Mr. Loree into danger of hunger from the loss of everything he owns. i i ,-I:d that isn’t all there is to this background, : er. «is hardly the psychological moment for a ‘Wall ‘sfreet man to get up on his hind legs and talk about “a violation of trust.” “Thepe are a good many Americans today who possess beautiful pieces of paper, for which they 'hfd Wall street good money. Wall street pledged its. faith that these bits of paper could be re deemed at the price that was paid for them, and that 'phey would bear interest steadily until the mo ‘ment of redemption came. ??{vﬁ\it’“"today ybu can buy lots of those pieces ot paper for a nickel on the dollar. There are many more’ thut aren’'t worth even that. 2lt we are going to wave pieces of paper and yell about betrayals, let's start with farm mortgages and’"Wall street bonds. After all, Mr. Loree's S2O bill will still buy quite a few groceries. The Public Works Administration’s $135,000,000 loan to the railroads for new construction and new equipment well may turn out to be one of the big gest factors in bringing about industrial recovery. "To begin with, §51,000,000 goes directly to the steel industry. An order of that size cannot fail to ‘bring that industry a strong revival; and it is axfomatic that a flourishing steel industry means good business in many other lines as well. ~Furthermore, the new construction which the loan makes possible will affect a number of industries. v"&:noans the re-employment of a great many idle ‘men—=2o,ooo within a month, according to one esti mate. :—‘-"“alk’ll in all, the loan ought to have an exceedingly ‘.‘of‘d-eﬂect on general industrial recovery. ~ If you ever wonder just what the Russian experi ment is going to look like 20 years from now, you m@fht be interested to learn that a golf course is being built in Moscow. Mo begin with, Moscow never before has had a golf course. And in the second place, Communist writers have united in calling golf “a hopelessly bourgeois game’—a criticism which seems entirely Justified. Somehow, it is a little hard to imagine earnest Communists getting a kick out of golf. It just nat urally isn't a game that promotes class conscious ness. It doesn’'t belong in the Russian picture at all. The aura of rugged individualism hangs over it. If Soviet Russia goes in for golf, it is offering the capitalistic world a pretty fair-sized opening. A golf-playing Communist is half converted. NEW YORK STORIES By JULIA BLANSHARD . NEW YORK.—The other evening in Elsa Max avell's charity “scavenger hunt,” one of the 200 so efety eouples seeking the prize, brought in Marilyn Mille’s autographed pink satin step-ins. These were 'fmnung the 24 items listed by Miss Maxwell as things that must be hunted for and produced at the party. f;‘»"l’hfhay afterward, Marilyn got a note from Louis Mn’a;‘@:ld (who had been one of the judges) and Mrs. “Bromticld, saying that if she wanted her step ins back, she must come out to their house and hunt for them. “I'll be there!"™. Marilyn wrote in reply. . . “This is one of the three most exciting times in history to L living in,” 250-puond: Dutch Hendrik ;?ﬁ_fn'a:n saxd at a lunch given in his honor ‘aboard the Mauretania the ather noon.

In At lanta, it is reported by the secret service agents of the government, that a consider able scattering, of worthless money has bheen detected. In south Georgia, especial ‘l'y, in and around Brunswick and Savan nah, the reports of the increasing number of short-change and bad check artists are operating successfully. There is a certain number of this type of criminals who make annual visits to Florida for the win ter, but it is said that the number of such characters this year has shown a consider able increase. : So far there have been few stopping over in Athens. These people seem to give this city the go-by for some reason or other, and it is hoped that they will con tinue the practice of avoiding Athens when on their route to a warm section of 'the south. Of course, among ‘this wander ing class, there are men and women, who la.e harmless and are hitch-hiking for self preservation, seeking work, food and clothing. This element should not be dealt 'with as eriminals, but to discriminate be {tween the deserving and the undeserving, is a problem of unusual perpdexities. ! The local officers should keep an alert 'watch for and on this class of people en tering or passing through Athens. Break ing into homes, stores and even the banks, ‘hesides holding up people are the chief features of their program. Efforts should ‘be made to prevent snch occurrences, and all such visitors here should be held to zive a strict acconnt of their doings and their roint of destination. TOWNS AND CITIES STACNATE! ~ The people of a town or city who are{ dilatory in the organization and support of a commercial organization are standing‘ in their own light and bordering on the edge of decadence. Such organizations are pecessities for the life of any community. To be without a live and active body in lwhich commercial and industrial interests are represented, there is,little hope for such towns or city to grow and prosper ag they are entitled to develop. . [ Dawson is one of the most substantiai business towns in the state: it has a rich ‘and productive agricultural section from which to draw business; it has an enter prising citizenship and one of the best weekly newspapers published in any ‘state. Terrell county, of which Dawson is ‘the county seat, is one of the largest cot ton producing counties in the state, vet the town is without a trade body or a Ki wanis or Rotary club. Regretting the con dition, which is unusual for a town of the size of Dawson, the News, published ir that town, says: ” “Time was when a chamber of com merce functioned and flourished in Daw son, and citizens were wide awake to op portunities for civie advancement, but somehow interest waned and the organi zation died. Then, too, a Kiwanis club as sembled representative business men week ly for the purpose of discussing and put ting into action progressive plans, but that met the same fate, and right now, when there is need for real advancement, lead ership seems entirely lacking.” . The business men of Dawson can not af ford to allow such a condition to continue. The history of all towns where commercial organizations are not supported, usually is told by a stagnation of business and a backwardness in growth and development. Civie clubs are potential assets to all com munities, but on account of limited mem bership and without commercial features, }such clubs are not expected to function as do commercial organizations. However, it a community is progressive, one of the }first essential requirements is a Chamber of Commerce where all civic and com mercial interests can be represented. In fact, such organizations are clearing houses for all community activities, and as such, the entire citizenship should lend their aid and financial support in the full est. WHY NOT USE AMERICAN BEEF? - Professor Gramlich, of the Nebraska Agricultural College, has charged that the federal government is buyving beef from the Argentine government for feeding the young men enlisted in the conservation corps throughout the country. The charge is one of seriousness and should be investi gated. So far no notice or denial has been made by the officials in Washington, but a statement was made recently showing that in 1933 there had been 9,236,000 pounds of canned beef imported as against 7,744,000 pounds'in 1932 and in 1929, the pounds imported to this country were 29,- 785,000 which shows a decrease. However it does seem that with the production in this country far exceeding the consump tion, that American beef should be given the preference over beef raised in foreign countries. \ It is to be hoped that the professor has been misinformed, but without some de nial from official sources, the charge will stand as true until otherwise contradicted. Those in charge of the conservation ¢ mps have failed to affirm or deny the s&ving of Argentine beef to the camp boys, and unless some direct and official statement is made, the report or charges, as made by the Nebraska professor will remain in 'the minds of the people of the nation as being true and a great injustice to the cat tle growers and packers of the United States. If the livestock industry is to be placed on a paying basis, certainly the government should patronize and encour-.. age home industries. ’ : e An important reason why the Diesel en ’gine has not been widely used as a power ;u.nit in transportation has heen its exces sive weight.

The portrait is the work of Mrs. | W. H. Davis, widely known ar tist and former Athenian. The likeness is very life-like of Cap tain White, and is a reminder of one of the pioneer builders of this city and section. Under his direc ‘tion as cashier, the bank grew to be one of the strongest financial institutions in the South. Conser vative, safe and sound in banking principles, during his life and since his death, it has been one of the most valuable contributions to the growth and development of this community. Following the death so Captain White in 1915, John White Morton was elected to succeed him as cashier and later on the death of Judge John R. White, Mr. Morton was elected to succeed Mr. White as president of the bank. Mr. Morton has con tinued the policies and principles of safe and sound banking as orig inated and established by his pre decessors, which was the founda 'tion for the building of a strong i institution which is being carried lon by President Morton in a most | successful manner. Captain James White was a man endowed with wunusual business acumen. His far sightedness into future condi tions stood him well in hand for a successful business life. The National Bank of Athens celebrated its fiftieth anniversarv in 1916, at which time a most in teresting historical. review of the bank was published in booklet form. Besides biographies and pic tures of the founders of the bank, the officers and directors as of 1916, also appeared in the booklet which is dedicated to Captain White in the following words: “To James White, who for forty eight years was identified with the management of the National Bank of Athens and forty-three years was its guiding hand as cashier, this souvenir book is af fectionately dedicated.” There were twenty-six origi nal stockholders who organ ized this bank. Among the names of the founders of the bank will be found men who were builders in their day and time. As a reminder to the older citi zens here, these names will cause many to recall those who are in, a great measure, responsible for the Athens of today. They are: James A. Price, John W, Nicholson, James D. Pittard, Asaph K. Childs, Frederick W, Lucas, James H. Huggins, James T. Sansom, Peter W. Hutcheson, jr., Stephen C. Dobbs, William F., Matthews, Rufus L.

Brittain, Thom- | as Bishop, Edward P. Bishop,’ John White, Henry Hull, jr., Ed ward A. Reaves, and William H. l Hull. Colonel H. E. Mann, of the g military department of the ; University of Georgia, present- i ed a most wonderful, interest ing and instructive picture at the Palace theater Wednesday . | morning. : { The picture was made at Fort | Riley, in Kansas, by the Grantland Rice Sportigiht syndicate. Show ing cross-country rides of the most | daring type, hugiling fences and 1 other feats performed perfectly, these equestrian acts were not only interesting, but startling in their execution. The players of the polo teams were another feature of the program that excited much in terest, but possibly the 'best fea ture, if there was a _“best,” was the trained horses, one especially trotting without traveling, but in perfect movement. Other horses showed unusual “horse .sense” in the performance of what might be termed the “impossible.” These pictures were made at Fort Riley training quarters, prior to the teams entering the Olympic games. Through the courtesy of Colonel Mann and the management of the Palace theater, the student body of the R. O. T. C., members of the faculty of the University of Geor gla and some citizens were invited to attend this most interesting picture of army life. raestOfje7/ PoShu/ T ‘ ‘ Both Old and New Subscribers May Get -7 Ok >1 T Ol WOMAN’S Great p": § = 'Er/ T I American Do RPN | WORLD g - wl NG Weekly |—= \ M 1 year each T gk - R R HIBEE S HHOW s e rwthed montheost i s s Tty oot 10 o ready be one of our readers, simply authorize us to continue delivery of The Banner-Herald for an other 12 months in combination with the magazines.
