. Economic Freedom
; By BRUCE CATTON
A great shift in the popular idea of freedom,
which |will ultimately have a very great eflect on
our political thought, has been taking place in this
country during the last few years.
This shift has been moving us away from our
traditional notions at « rapid pace. It is giving a
new twist to the things we demand from our gov
émment. and it is steadily changing our concept
of the relation of the individual to the society of
which he is a part.
Brlefl?, the shift can be explained by saying that
we are ‘beginning to 'demnad economic freedom
rather than political freedom.
Once 'we demanded freedom from the oppression
of rulers—freedom to. talk, write, and worship 'as
we pleased, aholition of inherited caste distinctions,
formal recognition of the fact that, as far as rights
are corcerned, all men are created equal.
Now We are beginning the demand freedom from
econom{c disabilities; freedom from poverty, for
jnstance, and from the fear of poverty.
We are beginning to insist that political equality
be balafced with economic security.
It is this demand which is back of such pending
bills in Congress as the Wagner-Lewis unemploy
ment insurance law and the Connery 30-hour week
bullets.
Now the thing to notice is that never before, in
all the world’'s history, could a demand for eco
nomic security have been made sensibly.
In all; former times it was inevitable that inse
curity be the iot of the average man. There simply
wasn’t enough of everything to go around. Some- |
i'body hatl to be left out.
* Population, as Malthus pointed out, tended to in
creage fastc: than the means of subsistence. Pov-|
erty was inescapable. S |
But teddy our troubles come because.there is toe |
much of everything. For the first time sinee.this ||
‘old platet statred spinning, every man can get #
fair whack of things. i ]
Insecurity is no longer necessary, The abolition
of poverty is perfectly possible.
The ordinary man has come to realize this. He|
knows there is enough of everything to go around
and he wants his share; and—which is a point}
worth remembering—he doesn’t care very much|
how he gets it. ‘
It amember of President Roosevelt’s official
family +is actually working toward a Communist
state in America, and is pulling the wool over the
Presidént’s eves so that the nation can be man
euvered to the edge of Marxism without realizing
it, the fact needs to be established definitely and the
man’s name should be published. w
"And then the man needs to be thrown out of
Washington so fast that he won't know what hit
him.
But, on the other hand, if none of this is true—
if someone has just been indulging in a lot of loose
talk, creating a bogey-man out of nothing to scare
us out of adopting a laWw o a set of laws which
certain important gentlemen do not like—then the
man who started all the talk needs to'be shown up
as an irresponsible rumor-monger and discredited
forever.
The charges spread before the house commerce
committee in the letter read by James Henry Rand,
» muif be investigated quickly and thoroughly.
go public has a right to know the exact facts in
‘matter, )
Most ' newspaper readers, probably, would like to
know more about this Fred Goetz, the gangster who
was taken for a ride the other night after several
years Of activity as one of Chicago’s worst gunmen.
This gangster never came from one of those slum
regions that breed most of our criminals. He was a
small{town product, of a good family. Fhurthermore,
he wfia a college man, an honor student at a great
university, and an athlete of considerable promi
nence. \
All fin all, he was emphaticailly not the kind of
materjal of which gangsters are made. Yet he
plunged into the underworld, became a hired killer,
served as counsellor to the notorious Fred Burke—
and died at last, gangland-style, in a ditch, full of
bulleto. :
A strange and tragic story must await the telling
there, 'if one could only get at it!
e HEALTH CURES =~
s £ By DR, MORRIS FISHBEIN
w Journal of the American Medical Association,
o w‘;‘pnd of Hygeia, the Health Magazine.
' The number of notions that people have about
me\ure probably greater and more peculiar than
wefl ideas in any other field. >
~ How many times have you heard the statement
made that washing inside and out is the best thing
for the humanu body? Actually the human body is a
fifi;figulatmg mechanism, and if one takes six to
Mght glasses of water daily, his intestines get
about all the washing they need, under ordinary
[eircumstances.
.Of course, if you are sick with some type of in
fection of the lower bowel, you may require special
types of washings, but those will have to be picked
“out by your doctor and perhaps given to you by a
competent attendant.
. _Another notion that has Irequenhy prevailed is
the idea that deep breathing exercises early in the
mqgmdg. preferably taken without any clothes on
im front of an open window, is a certain method of
good health.
. While it may entertain the neighbors, there is no
- evidence that it really does bring about any re
m’improvemem in health. ,
It has -been pointed out, instead, that long-con
tinued forced deep breathing washes out the carbon
dioxide from the blood .and in that way may be
harmful.
. Breathing is also an automatic. mechanism and
_any time we interfere with it we are likely to be
disturßing the. actions of a well-regulated machine.
.. There is the notion that a pain in the back means
a disease of the kidney. A lot of old<time patent
medicifie advertising that used tc be prevalent in
~olir youth is responsible for maintenance of this
idea.. -
« Actually, pain in the back is only rarely asso
ciatell with a disease of the kidney. Disturbances of
’l,huq vital organs are more likely to manifest
‘themselves by swelling in various portions of the
_body and by changes in the excretions, which can
be found with laboratory examination.
. Finally, there is that old bugaboo, autointoxica
‘tion, presumably the appearance of a coated tongue.
Headache, or a feeling of dullness is, according to
usval “belief, always due io the presence in the
bowels of a great deal of putrefying and decaying
food material. : i
Actually, however, the presence of such decaying
mu% is a rather rare occurrence. Most scien
tific .physicians have discaarded the word “auto
intoxteation.” v
In ;fiauh practice there is nothing so important
as exact knowledge. Notions and superstitions lead
to fears which may l?,,“ serious than the many
minor disturbances of the human body.
LOYAL TO OLD GLORY
| While the Communistic organizations in
this state are not of potential strength, yet
in other sections of the nation, propagand
ists have succeeded in spreading the doc
trine of Communism in an alarming de
gree. The investigation now going on in
Washigton, based on the charges made by
Professor Wirt, of Gary, Indiana, may de
velop a hot bed of Communism in and
connected with the seat of the govern
‘ment. Evidently there must be some foun
dation for the charges made by this edu
cator. He is the type of man who does not
deal in idle jest, but his sole interest.in
making public what he believes to be an
organization is due to his loyalty to his
gountey.. i |
In Georgia there are sufficient grounds
for speculation of the organizations of
Communistic advocates. These represen
tatives work secretly, of course, but they
'lare nere nevertheless some. no doubt in
| Athers, as well as in other sections of the
state. The Cobb County Times believes
{that now is the time for investigation and
|elimination of all such organized efforts
on the part of representatives of the Mos
cow government. In discussing the matter,
the Times, says: _
“With Congress proposing an investiga
tion of alleged Nazi activities in America,
it should be recalled that several years
ago Representative Fish, of New York,
was made head of a commission to investi
gate alleged Communistic activities in this
country. It cost the taxpayers something
like $50,000 to hold this investigation, but
what were the findings?
“Investigations prqved that the Com
munists were actually striving to perfect
their organization in this country looking
forward to an ultimate overthrow of our
government. It was shown that camps for
boys were being operated in. New York!
state, where hatred to American ideals,
hatred to the Stars and Stripes and hatred
for all that we, as free Americans, hold
dear, were only taught. This insidious{
propaganda is still going on, and Com
munism has grown so bold that no less’
than thirty-four states in the Union have
listed Communistic candidates on their
election ‘ballots.
'w“Communirts advocate the abolition of
religion. ;
“Communists advocate the abolition of
family relations.
“Communists advocate the abolition of
patriotism. :
“Communists advocate the abolition of
property right.
“Advocates of Communism offer a dic-
tatorship of the proletariat, and they seek
an overthrow of organized government
and society. ;
“We here in Georgia feel secure. There’s
no necessity of getting alarmed over Com
munistic propaganda, we think. Listen—
“The Cartersville Tribune reprinted a
letter from a citizen of Bartow county last
week in which this citizen called attention
to the fact that anti-government doctrines
were being spread through the mnorthern
part of Bartow county and that one high
school boy had 'been dismissed from school
because he had assisted in disseminating
this damning propaganda.
~_“The Times doesn’t believe in hollering
“Wolf, Wolf,” when there isn’t any wolf,
but when these things are happening right
‘in our own backyard it’s time for serious
thought, It’s time to awaken ourselves to
the sense of danger; to be constantly on
the alert to stamp down these fires that
may easily be fanned to fever heat. “Eter
nal vigilance' is the price of freedom,” and
if we allow the little things to pass unno
ticed, they will soon grow to such propor
tions that it will be difficult to combat
them. %
“TLet us:. be constantlv on our cuard o
see that our young people are not satu
rated with radicalism and un-American
ism. Let’s continue to instill within the
hearts of our children such profound re
gard for Old Glory and all that it stands
for, that they will not adopt the Red Flag
as many are reported to be doing in other
sections of the country.”
The* Cartersville case, recited by the
Times, is typical of the workings of these
representatives of Communism. They are
at work in the schools, colleges and uni
versities. Through various schemes they
secure admission to the student bodies and
disseminate propaganda and in some in
stances, succeed in coming in contact with
these young people through talks and ad
dresses on various subjects, but with the
main purpose of spreading the teachings
of Communism. Young people are suscep
tive to what they believe is new and mod
ern ideals of life. They readily accept
such doctrines and soon become believers
in Communism and join with the reds in
attempting to tear down rather than ta
build the government. If these people are
allowed to get a foothold on the young,
in a few years there will be many believ
ers in the teachings of overthrowing the
government. While we are not inclined to
the. belief that President Roosevelt’s
“brain-trusters” are reds, vet no harm
can come from a thorough congressional
examination and survey of the charges
submitted by Proisssor Wirtz as now of
file before the conmittee. :

A Little——of—E\Terything,
Not Much of Anything
By HUGH ROWE
'~ Wednesday and Thursday of
each week are set aside by
Governor Talmadge for hear
ing pardon cases.. At these
hearings, citizens in large num
bers appear befors the gover
nonr, W iy
It is two days of the hardest
work the governor has of all his
official duties. Callers at the gov
ernor’s office on other matters,
have a time of getting the ear of
the Chief Executive .of tbe state,
He gives every case brought before
him thorough study—rmerits and
demerits—and after, he' has .analy
ized the evidence, his decision is
immeditaely rendered. ' There are
no ifs or ans. It ig either a par
don, parole or a refusal. In other
words he does not bicker or delay
over making a decision, and that
is the way all officials should con
duct their official business.
It so Fappened on the oc
casion of our last two or three
visits to the Capitol, ghey fell
on “pardoning day”, and to
get a lead intp his sanctum,
well, that was something else.
However, the governor doeg not
allow anyone who desires to see
him, to leave the Capitol, without
getting a conference. Often he re
mainus in his office hours after
regular closing time in order that
no one desiring to see him on of
ficial business will be deprived of
the privilege. The last time we
were up there, it was on “pardon
day”, but he kept open house un
til late in the evening, seeing and
talking with those who had called
during the day and afternoon.! We
felt a hesitance in going at the
late hour, but he astured ug that
he was just as glad to see ug at
that time as he would have been,
if we had called earlier in the
Gday. That was after six o'clock
and we presume he remained in
his office for several hours later
as the front office, at that time,
was crowded with visitors.
A governor has a hard life.
So much is expected of him
and so little consideration is
given in return for the many
inconveniences and hardships
he has to undergo.
Georgia had a governor, not so
many years ago, who eclosed the
office lock, stock and barrel at 4
o'clock, and no one was admitted
after that hour. However, he was
not re-elected for the second term,
but he did make a good gov
ernor. Later, he was elected for
an additional term, but not in'suc
cession. Keeping strict hours' may
have had something to do with his
defeat in his second race. Much
is expected of all public officials
and the least irregularity ‘arising
in the daliy routine ,f affairs,
sometimes, cause the inconsiderate
to fly up and create opposition. It
is a 'hard life, holding public of
fice. J
Tom Linder, candidate for
Commissioner of Agriculture,
is preparing for a short, but
interesting campaign. The pri
mary will be held in Septem
ber.
] While there are other candidates
| announced and prospéctive candi-
Idates galore, it is believed that
the number will dwindle down to
lpossibly two or three before the
'closing of the entries. Some of the
l\\'ise political prognosticators are
forecasting a race between Tom
Linder and Commissioner Adams.
However, it is uncertain until the
entries have closed on the last day.
There might be others to enter, but
we are inclined to the belief that
Linder has the inside track on
other candidates. and prospective
candidates. Senator Sisk has an
mounced his candidacy (for that
