A, ’ TR 2 5 ~ Problems Not New l By BRUCE CATTON It may seem a-long distance from the disappear ance of the last of the free land in the west to the complexities of the alphabetical group by which the present administration ‘is trying to promote re covery and reconstruction, The connéction, however, " is- very direct and strong. What fs happening is simply that we now are tackling the préblems from which we ran away when they first were taking shape. We ran because we had 4 western frontier to go so; lacking it now, | we have to pitch'in and try to solve the difficulties. ‘ Thege probiems are many and varied, but most of them ‘stem ‘from thé fact that it is hard to make a political democracy Woik ‘smoothly in a land where economic power contindally is concentrat ing itself in the hands of a few.. . That development—the tendency of wealth to codlesce—is not a new thing. In' its modern form it| began to appear dirvectly after the Civil war; and the maladjustments which it brought to American "society at that' time were profound and disturbing. But the country at large did little or nothing to remedy matters. The west was open, and any man who felt that the cards were stacked against him could move to the frontier and start over dgain. . The open west was 'a su\’my“v'ulvv‘ which kept the national pressure down. s ' As the 20th century dawned, the frontier van ished; uand immediately we begun to feel the loss of our sufety valve. Theodore Roosevelt’s fight|. agdinst the trusts, the rise of the Lal‘ollette group in the Senate, Woodrow Wilson's battle for “the new freedom’—these things all testify to the nation’s effort to grapple with the issues 'it too long had| ignored. * A : Then came certain diversions. The war took our minds off these issues for nearly a decade. Then came the skyrocket growth of mass production in du&ry, symbolized by development. of the auto industry, te provide a temporary’ new safety valve. Those outlets, too, are gone now. And in the enor mous complexities of the New Deal we simply are witnessing our final head-on collision with the problems that should have been attacked two gen erations ago. A We aren’t engaged in a new fight. We are wrest ling with changes long overdue. An Englishman recently wrote a letter to the London Times to commend the London police for their promptness in disposing of a case of burgs lary. His letter—revealing, as it does, a kind of law enforcement which is regrettably strange on this side of the water—is worth quoting here: “The goods were stolen on Saturday morning,” he writes. ‘‘The burglar was caught and the goods recovered on Saturday afternoon. On Monday the burglar was committed by a magistrate to stand his trial at the Olld Bailey. On Tuesday he was ~duly tried, convicted, and sentenced.” Probably speed of this kind is somewhat excep tional, even in England, where quick justice is pro verbial, Nevertheless, the object lesson is too plain to be missed. ‘ With peolice and courts that work so fast, is it any wonder that England has less ‘trouble with ‘“crime waves” than we have? An interesting footnote to the operation of the NRA is supplied in the report filed the other day by the National Coal association, which finds—after two months of code operation in the soft coal fields —that things are a whole lot better than they were, and. which pledges its members to cooperate fully in the code program, “This coding business is no longer a theory,” - says C. B. Huntress, executive secretary of the as sociation. “The name-calling stage is past. We face a conditicn, and it is up to the coal operators to cooperate or close up.” And he adds: 2 “It's easy to have hot fits and cold chills about this whole code business, but, while having the latter, one should not forget the chills that traveled up and down the spine last spring.” - This testimonial from an industry which did not find it easy to accept all the administration’s sug gestions about codification, is a pretty good tribute to the effectiveness of the Blue Eagle. i WASHINGTON SIT’LQ'ELIGHT 1 us By RO‘DN‘EY DUTCHER | Banner-Herald Washington Correspondent. WASHINGTON.—Currency inflation, if any, will come sugar-coated. - doedihid : Such few presidential advisers as admit the pos sibility discuss only one method of issuing addi t!’f#l paper money. £ ; : ‘hen the dollar is devalued by reducing its gold content and the price of gold finally fixed, the dol lar value will be increased correspondingly. i If the dollar is revaiued at 50 cents, the gold in Federal Reserve banks, now valued at $3,600,000,000, would become worth: $7,200,000,000. ‘And the treas ury’s present gold supply would be worth $§1,400,- 000,000 instead of only '5700.000,000. -~ The government might or might not take the préfit, up to $4,300,000,000, and spend it in currency. There's every reason to believe that Prof. George, ¥F. Warren, Roosevelt’s c¢hief montary adviser, proposes-that it do just that. - There’'ll be a hot argument as to whether such a course would be “inflation.” One high authority says it would be “similar to inflation.” It was done in France and Italy when the franc and lira were devalued and the proceeds used to buy government securities. ; The profit also might be applied to federal expen ditures. S e— Walrus-mustached Secretary of the Navy Claude Swanson seldom is asked for expert opinion on kisses. But comment was demanded from him when a Naval Academy midshipman was sent to the brig for kissing his sweetie goodby in an “unseemly manner’—that is, too long and too ardently. Unecle Claude delivered this dictum: “Of course a kiss can be an offense if it is be stowed in a certain way. It all depends on how it's done.” Milk and liquor are altogether different ffuids. But they present the same problem in that you can ut the price so high that bootlegging becomes prof table. AAA officials admit they found that out at ¢ the recent Chicago milk agreement hearing. They're disturbed. Legal price of milk in Chicage is 11 cents a quart. But. hundreds of small stores are selling it at § and 9 cents, below the code price, moOstly to pocr ‘people. The problem of enforcement puzzles the AAA. But the government has aid from the gangsters, who are in the milk racket as well as the boe:e racket. Low-price independents are terrorized and find their stores wrecked. High army officers will seek to make the Citizens’ Congervation Corps permanent under War depart ‘ment control. They regard that body of 275,000 i _as a ni?e little “nest egg" against emergen g A F “A..’ 4 SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAYS y| The National Grange is one organiza |tion that is contributing much for safety .jon the highways throughout the nation. ;lThis organization is teaching the children ‘sof this generation the importance of safety through the control of traffic. The pro :,gram of this organization, especially the {one introduced in the schools of the coun try has proved a worth-while movement. | The National organization has in opera i}tioe more than 5,000 subordinates granges |participating in the teaching of highway safety and its value and protection to the people of this country. In a recent contest, in which several prizes were offered, a Minnesota boy won lthe first prize. In his essay, Stanton Peter-! gon, in part said: | “Today, our country has no more urgent problem pertaining to public health and welfare than the topie of highway safety. It is everyone’s problem, and thorough co operation on the part of every motorist must be secured in order to preserve life, health, and property in connection with the rapid increase of modern vehicle traf fic. “Safety first is the motto which should lbe foremost in the minds of all automobile drivers. In order that we may guard against this increasing menace, we must develop safety-mindedness. Also, we must remember that gasoline and alcohol do not make a good mixture.’” Let each of us set an example by our own observance of traffic laws, and in so doing, help to do our share to make travel on highways a genuine pleasure, “Doecs highway safety pay? It pays large dividends when we consider the life and property that are involved in highway traffic. In owl day everyone is crying, ‘Speed.” We can never go rapidly enough; but the sad part is that more speed means more accidents. - “We must give our entire attention to our driving—mnot to billboards, fields, or other obiects which tend to detract our at tention from the roadway. If we wish to promote more adequate safety on our highwavs., we must consider the rights and privileges of others.” : The foregoing is worth readine and ab sorbing, even though it was written by a mere boy. It contains many features of a protective character that should not be overlooked in the campaign for a safefv program, not only in other states, but in Georgia and right here in Athens. ‘ SHOULD BACK UP VINSON The mebers of congress should back up lCongressman Vinson, chairman of the house naval committee, in an effort to | have the naval personnel increased by 5,- 000 enlisted men for 1934, at which time a number of new vessels will be launched. The present strength of the navv is 79, 000 enlisted men, 21,000 /less than the number of a peace-time force of past years. ‘ ‘ It is a penny-wise and pound foolish pol icv to continue with a reduced number of enlisted men in both navy and army. If ever a time demanded an increase of strength in both land and sea forces, now is that time. Ungettled conditions, com merciallv and unrestful feelings among the people of all nations tend to create nn risines, eivil and international, from which the United States would not be immune. For the nrotection of our people and for peace with all nations, a strong armv and navy is the only instrument that will in |fluence and bring about such a condition. It is to be hoped that the members of congress will support the recommenda tions of Chairman Vinson, of the honse naval committee, for an increase of 5,000 enlisted men during the year of 1934. HARD TIMES AFFECT CHURCHES The Literary Digest, of a recent date, |contained a most interesting article as re {lates to contributions to churches in good times as well as during hard times. It shows that even in prosperous times, peo ple are slow to increase their offerings to ithe churches, but that they first increase their expenditures for recreation. | In summing up a comparison between {the contributions to the Protestant |churches and the national income, the Digest says: .| “People don’t forget the church in hard times, and in good times, it appears, they 4don’t remember it quite as well. This ex ‘| plains why the contributions to the Protes |tant churches have decreased less in three ‘|vears than has the national income. 1 “The 1932 contributions totaled $378,- ,1000,000, according to a report by the fed 'eral council of churches. This amount is -lonly 40 per cent below the amount contrib luted in 1929, as compared with a drop of :154 per cent in national income during the . Isame period. | ; | “The 1929 contributions to the churches Iwere $581,000,000. The 1932 national in ‘lcome was $40,000,000,000, and the 1929 *|national income was $85,000,000,000. The _itotal share of the churches in the national ;lincome at any of the time for which data were gathered weas less than 1 per cent. Actually, in the boom years of 1927 to 11929, the church income fell off about 3 .|per cent, while during the same period L{there was a great increase in money spent: *{for reereation.” 1 It is regrettabie, but often true, that in iltlmes of prosperity we are not responsive -|in making contributions to our churches as ‘}we are to things of a worldly character, lamusements and diversions for pleasure in .(preference to the more substantial things |of life that can come only from leading lives of good church men and women. | Wise elephants flee from the ungles at ; thg approach of the driver ants; njo living |thing can resist the organized attack of these South African insects, 1 | A DAILY CARTOON i : e f 5 WELL, I DON'T ] SEE WHY NOTY | | LINDBERGH'S WIFE | : WENT WITH HiM ]Z ! : ) &7 sy L& | RN #L\? e s | wyres ] j \‘\‘\‘:‘ b - \, ¢ | ‘ »— G * | |ey ?{: Yy, < { BWP - T oy ) ] R NGeR T eTR ' I e SN N~ SR i || == ke .

Many of his pledges made to the lpeople of Georgia during his cam paign for govednor in 1932, have| been carried out, notwithstanding the opinion of his opponents t,huv(’ his pledges were purely camou- | flage and intended as vehicles tol ride into office.
