SALEM, Sept. 12. We fear vox populi has a grouch. For

"Kyser and. as

Kemp, both started at the U. of

a hit more rapid, as he started first.
Kyser is completely a showman

starts the band at each number. He

as he talks to his audience. He's an
expert tap dnncer and at UNC he
put on many musical comedies in
which he took dancing and comedy
parts.
"This showmanship, rather than
orchestra leading, has aided him in
shooting to the top. for he has the
abll'.ty to Interest an audience In
himself, thus throwing Interest on
the band which. In the last two
years, has Improved remarkably. Kay
says this Is because he threw senti
mentality overboard and hired him

"When Kyser got the Idea ot start

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
A JUDGE in New York (a woman
Judge, by the way) sent a
woman home from her court the
other day with Instructions to "wash
the paint, lipstick and eyeshade off
your face; that sort of thing makes
a woman look like a painted clown."
And the absence of It (this from
a mere man) often makes her look
like a worn-out washwoman. Bo take
your choice.
A STOCK argument against paint,
lipstick, etc., Is that If the good
Lord had meant women to look like
that he'd have made 'em that way.
Maybe. But if the good Lord had
meant grown men to have smooth
faces he'd have made 'em without
beards.
The men haven't anything to be
self-righteous about.
(It's the private opinion of this
writer that if women never did any
thing worse than paint their faces
and men never did anything worse
than shave this world would be much
better than It Is.)
HONEST, now, wouldn't It be rather
nice to go back, at least for a
little while, to the good old days
when Issues suchas these could stir
up an argument In almost any com
munity?
In those days nobody had ever
heard of totalitarianism, economic
security, fascism and such, but nearly
everybody had enough to eat and It
was usually possible for a kid Just
out of school to get a Job.
WHILE we're on the subject of
modern troubles, here Is an In
teresting paragraph from a Wash
ington dispatch: .
"The social security board has
just reported that probably about
20.800,000 received public assist
ance In the United States during
July."
That's approximately one person
out of each six. Rather startling.
Isn't It?
WHY Is one person out of each six
compelled to accept relief In this
richest country on earth? This writer
can't answer that question, but has
an idea that If we'd forget our
hatreds, our Jealousies and our rival
ries and Instead of 'FIGHTING each
other would WORK TOGETHER, each
seeing the other's viewpoint, things
would be very much better Indeed.
Communications
Further Light
To the Editor:
I see that my good friend J. C.
Barnes has had another brain storm
and written the president about It.
"J. C." Is without doubt the out
standing economic student of this
"neck - of - the - woods" and deserves
credit for his outbursts.
"J. C." handles two questions. The
cull pear part Is just a matter of
establishing some Industry to use
them as Its raw material.
I am Interested In his economic
question and would like further light
on that phase. I am wondering If
the status of the"SociaI Credit bank"
Is meant to be the same as the Fed
eral Reserve bank, which Is supposed
to be part of the International bank
ers setup and owned by them, or will
It be a strictly government Institu
tion? Would this Involve the taking back
by the government the exclusive right
to print currency? There Is enormous
profit In currency printing or coinage
and the government should have it.
Who would be the legal owners of
the bonds you speak of and how
would they eventually be liquidated,
or is that one of those government
things that never "liquidate"?
In your matter of distribution of
this money why not go at least partly
as far as Townsend and give- the old
folks a large amount and then leave
It to the business ability of the "rest
of us" to legitimately get It away
from them, thus creating legitimate
business?
The phase of refinancing the mu
nicipal debt is a right direction In
solving the tax burden as the "Inter
est on bonded Indebtedness" and
"relief" are a good part of the "tax
load."
We had a small example of "con
trolled abundance of money" when
the soldiers got their "bonus"; that
caused quite an upswing of business
for several months.
How much money does J. C. think
It would take to "do the trick"? Dr.
Townsend has It figured at about
18 billion dollars per year, or possibly
a better way to put It would be to
say Hj billion per month. hleh
would have to be spent Immediately.
And finally, would not the Town
send plan do your trick for you? The
racing of the money by the trans
actions or gross income tax would not
interfere with the federal reserve, or
the "money changers" and really
would have far less opposition for Its
adoption.
The whole matter of the "J. C."
plan and the Townsend plan 1 that
it will take a whale of a lot more
"money in circulation" to bring us
out of our economic troubles than
any of the existing methods Is pro
ducing: and it is going to have to be
money that is very easy to get.

Here Is Clmncellbr Adolf Hitler as he addressed the final meeting or
the Nazi Congress In Nurnberg, Germany, dangling the possibility of a
peaceful solution to the Sudeten German problem, but without committing
himself on the methods he Intends to pursue to compel the Chechoslo
vakian government to give the German minority "self-determination." This

effort would be made, not only to
prevent direct exports, but also to
stop shipments via other countries.
And the enforcement would be suc
cessful If the Spanish embargo can
be taken as an Indication. To date,
the state department has prevented
about fifty attempted arms ship
ments to Spain, and only three have
slipped through.
Section three of the act forbidding
American credits to belligerent na
tions, would also be Immediately
enforced. Both It and section one are
mandatory. As for the non-mandatory
provisions, they would be
calmly Ignored.
In the event of war. Great Britain
and France will be able to purchase

fascist nations. The results are char
acterized as "friehtenine ." Both
France and Great Britain are seri
ously deficient In airplanes, bombs,
some kinds of artlllerv and manv

The fascist nations, on the other
hand, are far better supplied than

Thus the deep seriousness of neu
trality law application. Of course,
the mandatory features of the law
are heartily disliked by everyone In
the legislative branch, from the
president down. There Is more than
a chance that. If war comes, the
president will convene a special ses
sion of congress and ask for their
repeal. This, too, is understood to
have been discussed.
The more remote question of re
peal Is also deeply serious. If the
democracies can ?lthstsnd the fas

five months, It's generally calculated
that they can win. But even so. thev
will need war supplies. And they can
find additional war supplies only In
the United States.
The truth Is that Aairrlcsn Isola

Its severest test. If ths people still
believe In the mechanical Isolation
of the neutrality act. repeal will be
utterly Impossible, but If the natural
sympathies of the people are too
strong for theorizing, the neutrality
act will bs In the dust-hesp in a
