c. C. C. GRADUATES AND ARMY TRAINING
The pacifists doubtless will howl when they read of
General MacArthur’s proposal that the C. C C boys who
,visit it may apply for two months of elementary military
training with the idea that they shall form a nucleus for a
reserve of enlisted men for the army in ease of an emer
gency. The plan involves no compulsion. Rather does it
offer the opportunity to those who are physically and mfmt
illv qaulified to have a brief military training period afte”
they have graduated from the CCC camps.
The experience with the National Army and in the R.
O. T. C. camps shows that two months is enough only to
teach the simplest rudiments of military drill. There can
Ire no valuable instruction in the more advanced technical
services. As a matter of fact, if the course gets much beyond
teaching close-order drill and the necessity of army routine
and discipline it will be accomplishing wonders. But the bu.>
R of military movements is involved in these fundamentals,
especially now that so many auxiliary arms are used in com
bat.
How many recruits can thus be enrolled for an army
reserve is not yet clear. Many of the CCC boys are physi
cally unfit when first they enter the camps. This is due to
inadequate physical training, to malnutrition and to general
neglect of health and physique. Experience has shown,
however, that they pick up amazingly under the outdoor
work and the camp regime. In the CCC camps they have
just a taste of military discipline. The administrative head
of each camp is an army officer. These men have been so
well chosen that they have instilled a sense of playing the
game—which is merely a form of self-imposed discipline—by
the mere force of their own personalities. An extra two
months of camp life would at least give the youngsters the
benefits of further training and health-building, even if it
would not make them into serviceable soldiers. If, howev
er, at some later time, we should ever be called upon to raise
another civilian army these boys could be of help much as
were the graduates of the first Plattsburg camps of 1915 and
1916. With their very brief condensed training, these men
were of signal usefulness in the operation of the later Re
serve Officers’ Training Camps, out of which the officers for
the National Army were picked—New York Herald Tribune

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
John D. Gold, Publisher of the Wilson (N. C.) Times,
says:
“You will recall in a previous article I said it was nec
essary to adjust consumption and production in order to
so i vo our economic problems, and then if agriculture, busi
ness and industry showed a profit, buying power would be
increased and each and every one would be prosperous;
i hat this increased buying power would set the wheels of in
dustry to work and the unemployment problem would be
lived, since the teeming millions in the congested areas of
the big cities are the ones who consume, when they are em
ployed. On the other hand, industry must not be throttled
for, if that is done, it cannot employ those who are out of
work. Industry, therefore, is the key to the main link in
the chain and holds the balance between production and
consumption. The government has wisely effected this sit
uation and eventually we will work out and solve the pro
blem of the unemployed.
“One trouble with the NRA, as I see it, is the fact that
the government, fearing too great a rise in prices is not com
pelling price fixing. Unless this is done, how can industry
pay the price that labor desires and pay the farmer the
price he must have in order to make a profit? If the level
of prices is built up, what difference is there if all are able
to pay the price? To prevent too great a rise in the price
of living, and combinations intended to raise prices, the gov
ernment can fix a maximum and minimum price and com
pel all to stay therein.
“You will recall that I insisted that the price of silver
must be raised and the burden taken from gold to decrease
he value of the yellow metal and raise the value and demand
i or silver in order to increase the buying power of tne peop
le of the world and who have been taking our surplus pro
ducts of field and factory. Doubling the value of gold and
decreasing the value of silver five times has cut the china
man’s ten cents to two cents per day, and so we have been
compelled to cut our production accordingly. So it should
be clear to every thinking economist that unless we raise
the value of silver and decrease the value of gold by taking
the burden from the yellow metal, that the people on a sil
ver basis cannot buy sufficient of the necessities of life to
hardly exist, much less solve our problems of getting rid
of our surplus.”
Petersburgians
Protest To Rough
Arrest Tactics

sons gathered in the fire hall at
Petersburg recently to protest the
inhumane arrest of one John Holm
vick, who was gathered in by the
city marshal and the deputy mar
shal and inhumanely beaten for be
ing intoxicated Witnesses called
did not dispute the right of the offi
cers to arrest the man, who was on
the streets in an intoxicated condi
tion, but all agreed it was unneces
sary to beat him so severely that he
>ustained a 31a inch cut and a two
inch cut from the club of the offi
cers The prisoner, bleeding freely
was thrown in jail without the ser
vices of a physician..
A collection was taken up to de

Judge James Wickersham was wir

prosecution of Deputy Marshal C
