Dewey was probably harder blow to China than to nay other foreign country. There have been“ ploitical parades in Shanghai supporting GOP, presidential candidate Dew-Wey, as the Chinesc‘ pronounce it, : The reascn was simple. The Chinese Nationalist government of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek thought it would get more American aid from a Dewey administration that it had been getling from the Truman administration. If the American pclitical setback to Chiang’s hopes now causes the downfali of his governmeil¢ and his own departure from China, it will be no grcat surprise. If that happesn, there will be some ﬁéndency both in the United States and China in blame the American government and hold it re sponsible for a collapse to Communism. This is the view of Chinag and his Kuomintang govern ment, ’ . | It is also the view of Governor Dewey and his foreign adviser, John Foster Dulles, It is the view of old China hands like Congressman Walter Judd of Minnesota, nagazine puMlisher Henry Luce of New York, Majcr-General Pat Hurley of New Mexico. All think Chiang the only Oriental bul- wark against Russia, OTHER SIDE TOO STORY There is, however, another side of the story. Its leading advocate was General Joseph W. (Vinegar Joe) Stilwell, now dead. His view of the Chinese situation, revealed dramatically in his book, *“The Stilwell Papers,” is today shared by many Am erican officials who have fought and served in China and by many American civilians who have tried to “advise” the Chinese government, and given it up as a hopeless job. ; Broadly, this group feels that the Chiang gov ernment is so corrupt and so inetficient that any further aid would be money poured down a bot tomless rathole. This idea is attacked by the Dewey-Judd-Luce-Hurley followers as being pro- Communist doctrine, but that is not necessarily so. The policy of no-more-aid-to-Chiang has wide support from Chinese intellectuals and the inde wgndem, reform factions within the Kuomintang ‘ﬁrationalist government. These Chinese and anti- Communist liberals feel that the only tning which has propped up the Cniang government since the end of the war is the American dollar. . "The man most frequently mentioned as a suc cessor to Chiang is General Li Tsung-jen, who was elected vice prseident of China last April, sAagainst Chiang’'s wishes. As governo: of Kwangsi, General Li has instituted land, government and educational reforms t 0 make it close to a model Chinese province, Criticisms hailed against Chiang since the end of the war are numerous. The principal one is that he has squandered the $2,400,000,000 worth of U. 8. aid given the Chinese since V-J Day, through + bad generalship and sheer inefficiency. At the end of the war, 700,000 Japanese sol _diers in China si_ap‘rendered to the Communists, _who got all their equipment. But 1,200,000 Japs surrendered to Chiang, who thus got more. In recent months the Chinese Communists have . been increasing their supplies by capture irom /Chiang’s demoralized armies. It has been estimat jed that as many as 400,000 Chinese Nationalist .isoldiers have been Kkilled, captured or deserted to the Commies. " Nationalist China’s econcmic position is now said to be as bad ag its military position. The hold “the-line policy at August price levels has failed. “Phe new currency is on the skids. Tax collection " machinery has broken down. Some of the prov inces have vir::uall,y returned to the old, independ ‘ent war-lord status. " In the light of reports such as these, many Am * ercian offictals may perhaps be pardoned if they “ask, what’s the use of trying tc further bolster the ““Chiang government? .4 It is argued in rebuttal that the U. S. now sup ports warfare against the Communists in Greece, ‘and should therefore support wariare against the “Communisits in China. The alternative is to let “China and the entire Orient fall under Russian * domination. '" Greece is a country of 8,000,000 people and 50,- 1000 square miles. China is a country of 450,000,000 ople and 4,000,000 square miles. China has 56 es as many, people and is 8¢ times as big. The S. has now appropriated $320,000,000 to aid e reece. On the same scale, it would take from 56 40 60 limes as mueh, or from $17,000,000,000 to ;_‘f__ﬁ%@,wo,ooo,ooo to save Chiang's Chira. . : W Russian Hypocrisy If anything additional were needed to brand Russia as a hypocrite it is the Soviet proposition that the United Nations abol ish the death penalty in all trials of law breakers. The United Nations is trying to frame a bill of rights that can only apply to all nations, and that is what caused this proposition to be made by Stalin’s gov-, ernment. Of course the United Nations re jetced the proposition as it should have done. f The effrontery of such a proposition from Russia is so plain that no self-re specting nation can be taken in by the% arrant hypocrisy. The record is Qlain and unmistakable that Russia has condemned to slave labor tens of millions of people in Siberia and other parts of the Soviet na tion. Theyv have been starved and frozen to death. That is one of Russia’s ways of putting capital punishment into effect. Aonther way is that, behind the iron curtain, they simply disappear. They are here today and gone tomorrow. The pit iful part of these disappearances is that they are Russian citizens disposed of by their own government. Another way is to stand them up against the wall and shoot them without the privilege' of trial or de fense. And yet Stalin and his gang propose to the United Nations to abolish eapital pun ishment. Of all the hypocrisy in the world this proposition bears away easily the first prize. The only consolation is that the hypocrite sooner or later meets his fate. The less the United States has to do with Russia, the bhetter. The mind of the American people on thai subject is very clearly demonstrated by the vote given Henry Wallace in his campaign for the presidency, one million votes out of a total of forty-seven million, That vote was more than should have been given him, but it was sufficient. Incomes at High Level The United States Department of Com merce has released figures on the income of the people as compared with pre-war ievels that on their face seem to be quite | encovraging. ‘ - There 18 much in these figures that in dicates prosperity in this state. They show ‘ that our people arc earning much more and business generally is prosperous. Un questionably there is very little unemploy ment and the scale of living is much higher than that enjoyed in former years. Here in Georgia aggregate incomes pay able to individuals have increased over three hundred percent in the last eight years. Salaries and wages have shown an equal increase. Cash farm income exceeds three hundred percent. Lumber produc tion is over two hundred percent. New construction expenditures show ‘an in crease of four hundred percent. Life in surance premiums, retail sales, payments for livestock, domestic use of electricity, and all lines of business register an in crease of from two hundred to three hun dred percent. ‘ At the same time there is another side of tnis picture. While much more money is in the hands of the people, the high cost of living, increased federal taxation and the like cut down the efficiency of the increased income. The dollars received do not buy what they once did and the ability to spend more or less lavishly has produced inflationary prices, which to a considerable extent depreciates the valu: of our current prosperity. Whethep the people generally are better off with high wages and high prices than with low in comes and low prices is a moot question. However, there is one advantage in the present situation — employment is at an all-time high, and there are no bread lines or synthetic jobs. Everyone who has a life insurance pol icly is a capitalist. Experience has shown that capitalism is the most effective sys tem of incentive for human effort.—Earl Bunting, board chairman, National Asso ciation of Manufacturers. I would rather see one family cry than to see a whole street weeping. — Major- General Chiang Ching-kuo, commenting on the execution of a rich Shanghai black marketeer. - In the Pentagon building in Washingtonr there are people who are men of action, of militarv trade, who are preparing a new war, working out plans for 50 years ahead. — Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Russian chief delegate tothe UN. , , YHE BANNER OPRAYY ATHEND GEORAE ECHOES FROM MEMORY!LAND “The Bride Had Co,n;:nted; The Bridegroom Came Late.” BY T. W. REED There are many teachers who regard a tardy as worse than ab sence, ] am not so sure but that they are correct in their judgment. Certain it is that students who stroll into a class room after the class has stratde its recitation, dis apt proceedings, fail to get the instruction they should receive, irritate’ the professor and cause confusion. If they cannot come on time it is not so certain but that their neglect may be more harm ful to them than it would be for them to stay away from the class. At least that is the way dear Old Billie Bass thought about it more than sixty years ago when he was principal of the Boys High school in Atlanta, He hammered this conviction into our heads when ever some lickless and careless wight would turn up tardy. He would give that boy a piece of his mind that he would be apt to re member and if he kept up the practice he would introduce him to the mysteries of a well-sured | hickory switch wielder by his strong right arm upon his back and upon his nether extremities. If the switch was not handy he would seize him by the shoulder and shake him until his teeth rat tled. That does not fit now into modern psychology, but it had its effect back there. He had a favorite quotation from Sir Walter Scott’s poeml “Lochinvar” that he hardly ever missed giving us as to the final results on the characters of the tardy delinquents and it had its effects. It caused us to attach | more importance to being prompt in the discharge of our duties and not allow opportunities to escape on account of neglect in seizing them and prefiting by them. Lochinvar was a handsome, bold and dashing young fellow who had been prevented from ! marrying his sweetheart on ac count of the stern opposition of the girl’s father. Parental objec tions back there had some weight. They do not amount to much now adays and even then they were frequently without solid founda tion. The girl, under the persua sion or the command of her father finally agreed to marry the man he had chosen to be her husband and all the preparations had been made for the wedding. The wedding day arrived and it found Lochinvar ready to pull off a theatrical stunt and win his bride, for the girl still loved him. Although uninvited he called on the girl just a little while before the wedding was to be soleminzed. The bridegroom just dallied along and had not put in his appearance when the dashing Lochinvar ap peared on the scene. He broke right in on the bridal assemblage and claimed the privilege of drinking just one toast to the bride and enjoying one round of a dance. He led her out on the ball room floor and as they whirled around he whispered something in her ear. The dance over, they stepped out of the room. His horse lwas near by, he swung her upon i “ ”,4,:,.’.? “;\,‘..,N\w\w\\m-asa 5 L g .% R White sidewall tires, as illustrated, available as éxlta cost, I PR o S M S S SR A SR S SBR SN § R RRIST O eeTR S Se L TR O RO R S bSR oo R R e Rey O CaasmsniEßiSe. . oTsent e SR S ’ : % 3 AR ‘f,},,'ff'.‘f..»;-.e;\_ ’% Sy o S—E . - orists e i . s a 0 N DL L P R AR g e A PGS ; s » : 7 P e ol RS SR T A ,','?."'

Ever since we introduced Dynaflow,* back in the early months of the year, things have happened to prove how true a statement this is. Newspapers gave it headlines. Magazines wrote whole articles. Crowds gathered at gas stations to look it over. Proud owners insisted that friends slip behind their wheel and get the thrill of this new way to transmit power, “No gears ever shift at stop lights,” they explained. ‘‘No gears ever shift to give you a jack-rabbit getaway. No gears ever shift in a full day’s drive. You just sit there, feed gas, and steer.” *You get Dynaflow Drive, at extra cost, on Roadmasters GEORGIA MOTORS, INC. 'the horse behind himself and off ‘they swiftly rode. The bridegroom had not put in his appearance and the cahse of the fugitives had to be made by the far. But they got away and were married. ; When the bridegroom finally got there he found that his bride to-be was gone. In the poem Sir Walter wrote these lines that Billie Bass was always dining in our ears: “The bride had consented; The bridegroom came late.” it was good advice for them, for there is nothing in life that stands in the way of success more than the habit of putting things off, dallying with opportunity and neglecting the pormance of duty at the proper time. So one morning we boys had a chance to get even with old Billie and pour some of his medicine down his own throat. That morning he was late in ar riving at-the class room and we decided toiock him out. We turn ed the latch on the door and wrote across the long blackboard his fa mous quotation from Scott, while we awaited his coming. The min uates ticked on and there was no “Billie” on hand. Finally we saw him coming down Mitchell street. He was along-legged fellow and had quickened and lengthened his stride, As he drew nearer we We are approved by the Commodity Credit Corporation for the storage of 1948 Loan Cotton. : We are in a position to handle the over flow cotton from your warehouse.

His steel-gray eyes glared 'in warlike manner from beneath his bushy eyebrows and in his hand he carried a good-sized bunch of well-cured switches. I We decided that we had better unlock that door. So we unlocked ‘it. He strode into the room like a i tornado. He didn’t even say good | morning. He walked over to the | corner of the room and set the bundle of switches down in their accustomed place, Then he took his seat behind his desk. We pre pared for the worst, but didn’t know exactly what that worst would be. Then he lifted his head and cast his wrathful eyes around the sroom and that quotation we had written ocross the blackboard. “The bride had consented; . The bridegroom came late.” He reared back in his chair with a changed look on his face. He laughed and laughed but didn’t say a word, But he was all smiles and good nature. He readily rec ognized that we had turned the tables on him, - We had trapped him with a rep etition of that sentence that he had so often to emphasize his rule against tardiness.
