GREED AND SELFISHNESS i
* In a letter declining an invitation to d:-
liver an address at the Emory Uhiversity,
President Roosevelt expressed regrets, and
then gave an outline of conditions, the!
cause and cure for the malady. Greed and
selfishness were stressed as the ' chief
causes of present problems facing the
people of this nation and if the American|
people would make fair play their objec
tive in their deali?gs with others most of
our problems would disappear.
There is muech in the President’s re
marks deserving of thought and study, es
pecially the fundamentals as outlined by
him. In his letter, the following extracts
will be of interest: bl
“May I add that in considering our
problems the purpose or goals of our
democracy should be kept constantly in
mind. These purposes are very clearly
stated in the preamble of the Constitution
of the United States, and they are just as
good goals today as they were when “We,
the people,” wrote them into the preamble
of our constitution. i
“All of the purposes enumerated may
be attained by means of fair play or a
square deal. If every American were to
make fair play his objective in his deal
ings with others most of our problems
would disappear, many of which have
arisen because of greed and selfishness.
At times we may have lost sight of the
fundamental purposes for which our con
stitution was ordained and established, in
which case we lose our way just as does
the mariner who takes his eyes off his
compass or off the beacon light.”
‘GOAL OF NAT:‘%PAIQL RECOVEVRY
_ President Roosevelt believes - that the
goal of national recovery is near at hand.
The expression given out by the President
was brought about from the announce
ment of the western railroads that a cut of
5 percent in the pay of all employes would
be made effective on June 1. “The order
will embrace a million men and women,
now employed by these railroads. The
President has requested the railroads to
postpone action for six months. The re
quest of the President will, no doubt, be
granted and by that time, the exacl con
dition should be known.
1t is alleged that while passenger rates
have been reduced, the inerease in receipts
more than offsets the.reduction. However,
it remains to be seen just what action will
be taken by the railroads. Conditions have
generally improved throughout the nation
and it is believed that the increased busi
ness will enable the railroads to continue
the pay of their employes at the present
rate. It would be, indeed, unfortunate to
assess a cut in the wage scale of employes
of any industry or business, at this time.
However, we have faith in President
Roosevelt and believe that he will receive
the cooperation of the railroad officials
just as he has received the cooperation of
all other interests. '
FORD TAKES THE LEAD
The announcement that Henry Ford has
ordered a 10 per cent pay increase to his
‘;20,000 workers, and that he intends to re
store the minimum pay scale of $6 a day
[as rapidly as possible. should be a stimu
lant for other employers of labor to emu
late his action.
The increase in pay of workers is bound
to contribute substantially to the early re.
turn of settled condiions. With increased
pay, business in all lines is bound to profit.
The more imoney earned by workers mean
;that more money will be spent in all chan
nels of txfxde.
- Unemployment and reduced seales of
pay are the real cause of the period of de
pression from which the nation has suf
fered during the past five vears. With a
return of steady employment and of for
mer scales of pay, the country will benefit
and the passing of adverse business condi
tions will be given an impetus that will

A Little of Everything,
Not Much of Anything
By HUGH ROWE
We have with us this even
ipg “Old” Bill' Biffem, (W.
G. Sutlive) managing editor
of the Savannah Press and
one of the most brilliant wri
ters in Georgia. £
Editor Sutlive is here for the
meeting of the Press Institute,i
which opens this evening with a
reception to he given by the Uni-;
versity of Georgia in Memorial
hall. We do not know how long"
Mr. Sutlive has been engaged im
newspaper work, but when we e
tered the profession thirty-sevien’
years ago, he was looked upon; by
other members of the Fourth ess
tate, as one of the pioneers in
journalism in Georgia. Of course,{
thirty-seven years is not such a
long time and the fact that Mr.
Butlive Was 8 pionees or considerl
ed so, at that time, should not bo_}
construed as a measure for his
present age. To our own knowl
edge and we are willing to vouch
for it, he is the handsomest male
‘member of the Press association
and one of the youngest in looks,
if not in years. So there you are,
‘Bill. That is saying enough, “aint”
it?
i Another prominent Georgian ’
and successful editor and pub
lisher, ‘Milt Fleetwood, of the |
Cartersville Tribune-News, is
with us this evening
Editor Fleetwood is the presie
dent of the Georgia Press assooia-:l
tion and one of the best knownl
newspapermen in the state. [Be
sides, he takes an active part in
not only home affairs, but in the
affairg of the state. He is serving
his first term as president of the
Press association, having been
vice-president for the past several
vears. He is active in the work of
the association and has given much
of his time to its every interest.
Popular with all the members, he
is affectionately known to them as!
“Fleet.” !
The idol of the members of !
the association is Miss “Emi- !
ly"—Known to the public as f
Miss Woodward It was Miss
Woodward, who organized the |
Press Institute.
Miss Woodward, a former presi-!
dent for several terms, will preside |
at a number of the round table
discussighs here this week. Be- |
sides she will preside at “An|
Evening with Georgla Authors” at
a dinner to be given by the Savan
nah Morning News and Press on |
Friday evening, at the Georgian
hotel. Authors of note will be}
present and take part in the pro- |
sram Wwhich will be oné of much |
interest and benefit to lhustl
rresent, 1
There are so many nota- ll
bies who will be here in add- |
tion to those invited for spe- |
- cial addresses, it is impossible |
to mention them all in advan- |
ced writing.
We -may expect, howewer, Jack |
Williams, of the Waycross Herald- |

T. W. REED TALKS
TO KIWANIS CLUB
George Washington was the sub
ject of T. W. Reed's address be
fore the Kiwanig club Tuesday at
the Georgian hotel at 2 o'clock.
Mr Reed spoke of the character
of the man, and of the lessons
which men of today can draw from
him: The lessons of sacrifice,
prayer, duty, honor, and other no
ble precepts, He compared the
leadership of Washington to the
leadership of President Roosevelt,
who, he said, was very much like
our first president,
~ Visitors at thig meeting of the
elub included Kiwanian B. M.
Drake of Jackson, and Jim Morton.
The attendance prize was won by
Judge T. F. Green,
the oldtimers, nex¢ to “Shack”, ed
ter of the Oglethorpe Echo. These
and many more whom we wil
have an opportunity to mention
‘Quring ithe week.
Hal Stanley, recorderiniy
secretary and the bulwark of
the association will be here. A
meeting without Hal Stanley
~ would be as dry as the Sahara
desert.
In using the word “dry” in con
nection with Mr., Stanley’s pres
ence at our meetings it is purely
figurative and used advisedly,
since no action has been taken on
the repeal of the bone-dry law in
Georgia. Of coure, it is.understood
that newspaper folk never become
“dry” they usually keep a supply
on hand and never allow it to run
low. They believe in the old adage
that “a stitch in time saves
nine,” consequently, they are us
usally prepared for the worst. But
whatever faults HMal Stanley may
have, he is one of the most affa
ble gentiemen we have ever mel
and "one of the finest characters
we hava’ ever known. i

WASHINGTON — (AP}—Push
ing quietly ahead without the
fanfare that has marked the air
mail contract hearings, grand
jury is inquiring exhaustively
into lobbying—if sueh there were
--in connection with huge ‘army
contracts.
One report circulated Wednes
day was that at least five persons
may bé indicted before the grand
jury ends its investigation.
Representative Hamilton Fish
(R.-NY), bitter critic ~of airmail
contract ecancellation, asked pub
licly Tuesday night if the air mail
action was not “a smoke screen
to cover up irregularities in the
war department now under inves
tigation by a grand jury.”
Underway for more than two
weeks, grand- jurers have taken
testimony from more than a Score
of prominent ment, including a
majority of the army’s high com
mand now on duty here.
Officials have consistently re
fused to discuss it. Apparently,
however, the inquiry has dug deen
est into matters surroundifig the
army’s $10,000,000 motorization
program.
Reports have never been offi
cially denied that a group of men,
including. at least one man promi
nent within the American Legion,
approached certain ~ automobile
manufacturers with a claim that
war department specifications
could be influenced, and that a
sum once mentioned as $2,000,000
be split between them.
The grand jury now has swung
temporarily back. to the Hoover
administration. I'rederick H.
Payne, former assistant secretary
of war, was asked to testify Tues
day on incidents during his regime
and later.
_ The inquiry probably ,will con
tinue into next week. Harry - H.
Wooding, assistant secretary of
of war, has been asked to testify
again although he had appeared
for more than three hours pre
viously.
Ralph T. O'Neil, former na
tional commander of the American
Legion, also wiil be heard at his
pwn request, <
The ‘Washington Post said
Wednesday it expected indiet
ments to be returned against at
least five persons.
No word has been given that
any major war department offi
cial would be included in this
group, but virtually everyone tes
tifying in the grand jury room has
been askgd to waive immunity
from prosecution.
It was disclosed that Payne be
questioned among other things ‘of
his knowledge of a reported at
tempt by Joseph Silverman, jr.,
New York, “trader,” to exchange a
large supply of gnderwear for
army supplies costing $8,000,000.
§ilverman has been the only
man officially mentioned by name
during the protracted investiga
tion. More than two weeks ago
