E. A. An Ancient Concept BY BRUCE CATTON V"lfi‘r‘. Jouett Shouse‘'s recent asscktion—in reply 0 & White House criticism—that human rights and property rights are inseparable, suggests that we jieed to Fe-examine the whole question of what con- stitutes freedom. " The inter-relationship of human and property rights dates back to the Dark Ages. The legacy of l&w and order that came down from the Roman empire was a littlg better than a memory. For the ordinary man, might made right, and it did no good te cry about it “"In those days the common man was little better than property himself. He was attached to the soil, ond hig life was at the mercy of his overlord. The whole development of feudalism was simply the story of society’s effort to evolve some kind of protection for him. "When the common man of those days tried to win a little freedom for himself, he had no abstract concepts of liberty in mind. Our modern concern over freedom of speech and conscience would have been bevond his understanding. . Liberty, to him, meant the right to own a bit of property, and to be secure in that ownership, no mattey how much the rich and powerful might covet what he Lad. \ "As the vears passed, this struggle for freedom con tinied. The merchant in the town, the peasant on the farm, the exporter who took pack-loads of goods over makeshift roads or sent ships past the haunts of pirates- -ali of these people wanted, first and fore most, to be secure against the threat of disposses- Eion. PR b 150 rree&‘pm meant anyvthing to them, it meant that. Property rights, théen mean human rights, very di rectly. Now the property right of those days was a very personal thing. The ordinary man was struggling te got out from under; he could do it only through the medium of his possessions. To be able to do what he wished with his own wig the supremely necessary first step on the road o liberty. What we need to do today is to study whether that =ll holds good in a time of far-flung, imper gonal corporations; to determine, for instance, whether the same sacrednesg attaches to a corpora ton's rights in a coal mine, for instance (which no gtockholder has ever seen), as it doeg to a peas ant’s possession of a cow which is his family's in surance against starvation. ~\We might find that the fight for freedom today is on a different basis than it was centuries ago—and on the other hand, we might not. I any case, We need a thorough public discussion of the whole subject. Bither the representatives of munitions manufac turers have a way of taking credit for things they mever did, or they sometimes step about ten miles over the hounds of propriety. The American people have not yet forgotten how Yiljam B. Sheareyr took the glory (or whatever you ¢are'tp call it) for the wrecking of the Geneva naval cenference. Now the senate investigators find a let ter In which Sterling J. Joyner claimg the credit for placing two congressmen on the powerful House Rules Committec in 1928, It has been asserted that the Geneva conference would have failed even without Shearer's efforts, and it mmay well be that the two congressman in question would have got on the rules committee without Joyner's help. : But the whole business leaves a bad taste, in any case. l’l‘he munitiong makers’ representatives either e¢laim too rmiuch—opr do too much. The T'nited States and Canada joined hands re cently to dedicate restored Fort Niagara, at the foot of Lake Irie: and while the colorful ceremonies dréw much public attention, the whole occasion really shouid have been impressed on our attention ‘even more strongly. ~ Yor this celebration emphasized a familiar but gul{.zfi'ofoundly important fact; namely, that the ‘long frontier hetween Canada and the United States {P" been uniortified 'foy 117 years. En g world that bristles with international fears ‘:n?l tivalries, here are two great nations so su premely confident that they will keep the peace (with gach other that they let their joint frontier go _entirely undefended. . It is a unique achievement In international rela tions and restorstion of the old bastons of Fort Ni #gara is simply) a symbol of it. The people of two Rations have a right to be exceedingly proud. BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Staff Correspondent - HOLLYWOOD—For three yeas 19-year-old June Lang has been under contract to the Fox studio. Now she is working in her first picturg ‘“Music in the- Air.” A thing like that couldn’t happen anywhere else but Hollywood. And it’s a bit unusual even in this village, where the unexpected always is the expected. It was in the summer of 1931 that June was handed a longterm contract and assigned to the studio training school to learn acting. Since then she has ‘Wwatched new students come and go in the school, new actresses grab choice roles in the 150 pictures that have been made. And all she has done has been study? : . Dueing this period she has gone completely un noticed dround the studio. Only 4 couple of execu tives and the studio dramatice coach have paid any altention” to her. Théy were “sold” on her potential talents and de termined 15 bring Ilem out to theiy fullest extent before shoving her in front of the cameras. | Apparently they were right, because, now that June ‘has been ziven her chance, she is doing a splendid sJob. It hag taken her three vears to learn the art ©f acting.

What a lot would like to correct their wives! & CALIFORNIA VS. FLORIDA For years there has existed a lively riv alry between California and Florida over fruit growing. Florida has taken rank as growing the most delicious fruit of all states. However, this reputation has been challenged and on every occasion where the subject of fruits arise, California comes forward with claims of growing a superior fruit. Florida, however, does not suffer by comparison of fruits and vegetables. The Florida orange has never been equal ed. The demand for the Florida fruit comes first in all sections of the country. In ap pearance and in sweetness, the Florida orange is preferable to the California orange, notwithstanding the great amount of publicity and advertising that state has done to press is claims for being the great est of all states in orange growing. Discussing the comparisons of the or ange: grown in Florida and the orange grown in California, the Christian Science Monitor, says: “Inthat amazing place, California, where “bigger” and “better” are by-words, cit rus growers are dyeing their oranges. It seems that during the last winter there wasn’t enough chilly weather (Florida pa pers please ohserve) to impart that prized golden blush to the orange crop. A harm less vegetable dye was invented to give the fruit a uniform. coloring. “That good publicity story seemed plausible enough, but its recent sequel sur passes it. The famous Valencia oranges from that area are to grow immense by what amounts to spoon-feeding on a large scale, To the irrigation water that sup plies the southern California trees is add ed liquid ammonia, giving 8 per cent pure nitrogen to the tree as plant food. Ordinary chemical fertilizer, it is said, delivers but 4 'per cent pure plant food. Besides ease of handling, the growers expect to save on fertilizer freight costs, 8 “Will the citrus growers of Arizona, Florida and Texas complain to the AAA that these are sherp practices and that the Califorrians must let nature do its work unaided? In these days of codes and bu reaus looking for something to enforce, nothing is impossible. Better yet, let Cali fornia’s rivals find their own ways for bet tering their products—anything, so long asi they get good publicity out of it, and the consumer gets the product.” | All of which may be true, but regardless of coloring and packing, the Florida or ange is superior to all oranges, in taste and in sweetness. COMMERCIAL AVIATION While many lines of business have suf fered since 1929, commercial aviation has not only jheld‘its own, but it has shbwn a‘ remarkable inerease. Temporarily,the gov ernment suspended the use of commercial airplanes, but a coniderable portion of for mer contracts have been restored with these companies. In addition, commercial }and fiassenger transportation has shown a ‘healthy increase over the same period as of last year. Safety of air travel has been improved and become a popular mode of transporta tion. In faect, it is alleged that it is as safe as any form of travel now used for com mercial purposes. The New York Times in an advertisement, recently, caters to passenger and commercial traffic. Which reads, as follows: “A passenger may leave New York City at midnight and arrive in Chicago for breakfast. High class sleeping a2ccommo dations are provided. “The planes fly smoothly and sleeping berths are as commodious and as comforta ble as one finds in a railroad Pullman. - “Berths may be occupied at 10 o’clock in the evening, permitting those who retire early to have a full night’s rest.” It is now being 'planned to establish a direct line connecting New York and Lon don, which it is believed will be put into operation at an early date. Such a plan is not visionary nor is it impossible y it is only a question of time when the route will be in operation and people will be flying from ?}is country to many of the foreign na ions. NECKERS AND NAGGERS A new solution of the many automobile accidents has been found by William Col lins, chief of the Cook County highway po lice in Illinois, He is of the belief that those who hold necking parties while driving on the highway is one of the chief causes for many of the accidents and that married couple are addicted to the practice of quarreling while out driving, forgetting that other motorists are entitled to a por tion of the highway, their quarrels end in smash ups. : The foregoing goes to show that acci dents are not always attributal to unfor seen occurrences. And there may be some thing to the suggestion of the chief of po lice of the Illinois county. However, every precaution should be taken by autoists, whether on the highways or on the streets of municipalities. If motorists will con sider a fair division of the highways and streets, accidents will soon cease and the use of automobiles made as asfe as other modes of transportation. Bricks made from sawdust by a western firm can be used for fuel. The sawdust is placed in a machine which exerts an enormous pressure on the fine wood par ticles, pressing them into bricks which have the efficiency of 8 3-4 pounds of coal. The theory that the absorption of light from a star by the atmosphere surrounding it causes it to explode was advanced by Dr. Dean B. McLaughlin of the University of Michigan. Probably the most accurate clocks in the world are two at Greenwich Observatory, in England. Each is checked every 30 sec onds by a pendulum swinging in a vacuum. If we dig down into the earth to a depth of about 25,000 feet, we find a tempera ture of approximately 200 degrees, THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA A DAILY CARTOON AL / //// D=o, S O ‘ QP%(‘N.
