Mail Delivery Reduction
Wilmingtonians are confronted with
reduced mail delivery service. When
September rolls around heavy cuts will
have had to be made in seventeen
auxiliary routes, most of which were
established when the population mount
ed with the coming of war activities.
Some routes will have to be abandoned,
others now providing two daily deliv
eries tvill have to be reduced to one.
And still other routes Avill have to be
lightened because overtime deliveries
are ordered reduced by 50 per cent.
Postal appropriations have been
slashed to the extent that all post of
fices must curtail delivery service.
Wilmingtonians’ only consolation is that
they have not been singled out for
exclusive disfavor. Everybody will suf
fer alike.
Whether the Congress, in its pres
ent economy move, has acted wisely
toward the Post Office department is
not for the layman to determine. But
it might be considered, and brought i
to the attention of Congress, that
nearly one-half of the country’s busi
ness is carried or through the mails,
and that the heavy reductions made
necessary in deliveries because of the
lower appropriations might all too
easily bring about an equally heavy
reduction in the nation’s business
transacted by mail, with the result that
firms thus affected would face added
difficulty in meeting income and other
taxes.
Government spending is unques
tionably too high. The Congress is right
in seeking ways to reduce the cost of
government. At the same time legis
lation that interferes with normal busi
ness cannot be considered wise legis
lation.
Surely there are federal extravag
ances that can be stopped without loss
to business and with gain for the peo
ple. Senator Byrd has pointed out
dozens of economies that ought to be
put into force. If they were, the postal
services might have an adequate de
livery program everywhere.
Dollar Imperialism? Never
Russia’s claim that the American
proposal commonly known as the Mar
shall Plan represents dollar imperialism
is in line with all proposals affecting
the peace and rehabilitation of Europe
that does not originate in Moscow. It
<■ as false as all other pronouncements
eminating from Russian sources con
cerning the purposes and policies of
the United States.
Secretary of State Marshall answers
Mr. Molotov, the Soviet Foreign Com
missar, who has blocked acceptance of
the Marshall Plan at the three-nation
conference in Paris, by laying down a
four-plank platform disproving all that
Mr. Molotov charges during an address
before the National Womens Press club
in Washington.
American aid for Europe, he says
“shall be effectively used for the pur
pose for which it was intended. This
puspose, as outlined in Mr. Marshall s
Harvard speech, is the economic recon
struction of countries willing to help
themselves and for the relief of their
impoverished people.
The second plank is that the Ameri
can aid should not be used for selfish
economic or political interests.” The
third plank specifies that it must be
used to assist in economic rehabilita
tion.” The fourth: that it should serve
the purpose “of restoring hope and
confidence among the people concerned
that the world will know peace and se
curity in the future.”
How is it possible to lodge a charge
of dollar imperialism against any of
these planks ? The fact is that instead
of dollar imperialism for this nation
the aid proposed by the Marshall Plan,
if extended at all, represents a dollar
sacrifice for the American people, from
whom must come every penny invested
in the reconstruction and rehabilita
tion of Europe.
There is no good reason to believe
that the Paris conference of Britain’s,
Frances’s and Russia’s foreign minis
ters will have promoted either peace in
Europe or Europe’s recovery, and the
blame will lie at Moscow’s gates.
The outcome is liable to be a division
of Europe into two spheres of influ
ence—the eastern sphere under Rus
sia’s domination, the western consist
ing primarily of England, France and
the part of Germany occupied by the
United States, Great Britain and
France.
This prospect is tragic, chiefly be
cause alterations in geographical fron
tiers so easily lead to war. One of the
worst blunders in the Versaille treaty
was its shuffling of national boun
daries. A Germany half communistic
and half democratic would be a perfect
incubator for war.
Student—Veterans Hard Hit
The GI Bill of Rights, which was
first hailed as the economic salvation
of veterans, is proving a dud, so far
as higher education for former service
men is concerned. The trouble may
stem from the fact that the Bill of
Rights was instituted before the war
ended and did not (maybe could not)
take into consideration the inflationary
rise following the cessation of hostili
ties.
The City College of New York’s de
partment of sociality has been studying
the situation for six months. A report
recently completed contains the find
ings of a survey of living conditions
of 267 married and single veterans and
25 nonveterans.
Financial hardship, inadequate hous
ing and discouragement of student
veterans are outstanding features of
the report.
In most cases married veteran stu
dents at college must spend $181.92
and the single student $84.95 a month
to live. The married veteran receives
a $90 allowance and the unmarried
veteran $65 a month. Both face a
monthly deficit. The report shows that
for the most part this difference
is made up by withdrawals of savings
or the sale of war bonds. Some of the
wives of veterans are able to secure
full or part-time jobs.
But, as the report points out, the
average veteran’s savings cannot last
much longer, nor can his war bonds.
And, further, the purpose of creating
a nest egg by holding on to bonds until
they mature is defeated when they are
cashed in. If savings and bonds go
in full to sustain life while the vet
terans are at school what are they to
do when they receive their diplomas
but lack jobs?
It is not probable that veteran-stu
dents will unite in a petition to have
GI allowances increased sufficiently to
pay for their total support. But the re
port adds that many queried feel that
a minimum of $119.18 for married
veterans and $92.60 for single veterans
would help them ‘make ends meet.”
If revision of the GI Bill of Rights
should be considered the fact that col
lege or university training would bet
ter enable veterans to face the prob
lems of civilian life ought to be an
argument for increasing these allow
ances. jdKu
Surplus In Treasury
The fiscal year ended with a sur
plus in the United States Treasury.
Two months ago President Truman
thought it might be all of $1,250,000,
000. Instead, five days before July 1,
it totaled $1,142,825,000, and on the
last day of the year this was reduced
by an interest payment on the $257,
700,000,000 national debt topping $500,
000,000.
Thus it drops below the billion riiark,
but will be reinforced in part from
quarterly income taxes that fell due on
June 16.
The exact amount is not available,
but any surplus, certainly one nearing
ten figures, encourages the hope that
Congress will repass the tax reduction
bill and pass it again if President Tru
man should again veto it.
As Pegler Sees It
BY WESTBROOK PEGLER
(Copyright by King Features Syndicate, Inc.)
NSW YORK,—There is absolutely no doubt
that other new dealers besides Henry Wal
lace and his protege. Louis L. Horch, were
friendly to the projects of Nicholas Konstan
tin Roerich, the mystical guru or master
spirit.
Morris Leopold Ernst, of New York, a law
yer, is a new dealer. He was associated with
Heywood Broun, in the organization of the
American Newspaper Guild, particularly in
the New York chapter, which, ever since
those founding days, has been heavily infest
ed with a plague of communist. Broun, an
inveterate sampler, was confirmed a Catholic
shortly before he died. Before that, however,
he had been a left wing socialist, ant had
openly collaborated with the communists al
though he never was honest or brave enough
to be frankly one of them. Not that it mat
ters except as it may effect your opinion o!
his character and strength. He had also prac
ticed nudism. One of his colleagues in the
Heeding heart profession said of Broun that
he had worshipped at all shrines.
Morris L. Ernst’s biography in Who’s Who
in America says he was bom in Uniontown,
Ala., in 1888, and got his AB from Williams
and his law degree from New York Law
school. From 1909 to 1911, he was a shirt*
manufacturer. From 1911 to 1915 his business
was “retail furniture,” in 1915 he joined the
law firm of Grenbaum, Wolff and Ernest,
in New York. ' Since then has been "attor
ney for American Newspaper Guild: Served
as arbiter for Mayor la Guarlda in taxicab
strike, 1934 (a racket strike in which union
gangsters terrorized New York while the best
police force in the world appeared to be fear
ful and helpless, ed); drafted legislation for
Gov. Lehman (new deal-Roosevelt governor
of New York, ed) on ins. and banking mat
ers; Mem. N. Y. state banking board since
inception by App’t. Gov’s. Roosevelt and Leh
man.” He also wrote several books including
‘ Sex Life of the Unmarried Adult” and “Ul
timate Power” and is a lexturer before clubs
and colleges.”
I find no record of any war service in the
first war.
Henry Wallace also was busy otherwise.
What is the guiding thought of this not at
all bashful nomine for greatness, who has
exercised a very strong influence in the con
duct of one union whose bosses constantly
extolled and appeased Moscow and persecut
ed many loyal American newspaper workers;
who drafted legislation on insurance and
banking matters and held an influential posi
tion on the board in control of banking in
the state of New York? What is his attitude
toward insurance and banking, these indis
pensable institutions of the capitalist system
ernment? Is he friendly to that avstem? What
which underlies the American form of gov
ernment? Is he friendly to- that system? What
sort of preaching would club members and
politically callow college students hear from
Morris Leopold Ernst? I would hesitate to
note again particularly that this philosopher
and covert director of our destiny comes to
u? from the shirt and furnitire trades but for
the fact that many of his own political col
leagues often disqualified me on the ground
that I was a sport-writer. I seem to have
ben more successful at writing sports than
Morris Leopold Ernst was at hiring others
to sew shirts for him, and at selling sofas
to newlyweds on the honored if sometimes
melancholy chattel-mortgage plan.
What is this new dealer’s attitude toward
capitalism?
For information on this point I cite a letter
from a court record.
Tie case was one in which Louis L. Horch,
a back-slid new deal disciple of Nicholas Kon
stantin Roerich, was grabbing back posses
sion of the 24-story lamasery on Riverside
Drive known as the Roerick Museum and
Master institute. The term “master” runs!
through the projects and literature of Roer
ick’s cleverly publicized career in mysticism,
occultism, esoteric Buddhism and new deal
ism in New York early in the Roosevelt era.
He was regarded by some of his cultists as
a “master intellect” and a “supernormal
spirit.” Horch has frankly said that as Father
Divine was God Almighty in his cult whose
lamaseries were called heavens, so Roerich
was God Almighty to his followers.
Ernst's legal role in the liti gaitonevi
ership of the temple is not to be explained
in a few lines, but he war at one time for
Roerich.
This letter from the court record is done
on the letterhead of Grenbaum, Wolff and
Ernst. It is dated Feb. 15, 1933. It was ad
dressed to Roerich at Naggar, Kulu, Punjab,
India, which is the guru’s address as given
in Who’s Who in America. '
“My dear Professor Roerich,” it says.
“In behalf of my partners and myself I
want to cordially thank you for your letter
of .Tan. 7, expressing your gratification with
our efforts in behalf of the Roerich museum.
As capital dwindles in importance it may
well be that cultural movements will get into
the ascendancy. There is no doubt in my
mind but that these two movements, (capital
ism and the "cultural” movements (capital
ticed by Roerich, ed) are angagonistic to
each other at present. With kind regards to
you. Sincerely yours, (signed) Ernst.”
I will present some other new dealers in
tnis strange society. Thehe will be Henry Mor
genthau’s father, the old boy who was the
\mbassador to Turkey and seems to have
picked up some ideas on religion and fate
in the near east. There will be Senator Bob
Wagner, with a tantalizing expression of in
timacy with the circle. And there will be a
comic note in the association of Sol Bloom,
tne New York new deal congressman who
came on to be chairman of our House Com
mitte on Foreign Affairs. As snug as bugs
m a rug at the guru’s lamasery on Riverside
drive while the naive and unsuspecting Amer
icans were going to ordinary brick and wood
church houses on Sunday and prayer-meeting
and vespers, never suspecting that dark
forces of the Himalayas were hexing and be
witching them and rendering them incapable
of unity and sound political action.
To close today’s lesson. I offer a take-home
t lougnt about the new deal shirt-maker, this
ruler of the banking and insurance systems
of New York. This adviser of Roosevelt and
Lehman, noting a decline of capitalism in the
United States. I call attention to his “kind
regards” to the boss of an oriental and Rus
sian cultural movement notwithstanding the
fact that Ernst recognized the antagonism of
inis foreign force to the economic system
"ndcrlving the American form r* "-.nra,,,,).

THE UNITED STATES)
WHY AMERICANS CELEBRATE
4TH OF ULY
The 4th of July is celebrated in
the United States because it was
on that date in 1776 that Congress
adopted the Declaration of Inde
pendence, proclaiming the inde
pendence of the thirteen original
colonies and separating them
from England.
The adoption of the Declaration
was not a sudden act. For ten
years the colonists had ben ac
tively resisting King George III
and the British Parliament, chief
ly because of taxes levied on
them. They believed that Parlia
ment had no right to tax them,
since they had no voice in Parli
ament. The cry, “No taxation
without representation,” had been
heard up and down the land.
In 1774 and 1775, elected dele
gates from the colonies had met
in the first two Continental Con
gresses in defiance of British rule.
In 1775, blood had been shed in
battles with British troops at Lex
ington, Concord and Bunker Hill.
An American army had been or
ganized under George Washing
ton. Ticonderoga and Montreal
had been captured from the Brit
ish, Quebec had been attacked,
and Boston had been besieged.
Despite all this, the colonies
were slow to move for absolute
independence, but by the spring
of 1776, the belief that separation
was necessary had grown strong
er. One by one, various colonies
declared for independence.
Then, on June 7, 1776, Richard
Henry Lee of Virginia offered a
resolution in Congress “that these
United Colonies are, and of right
ought to be free and independent
states.” Action was postponed for
three weeks in order that the del
egates might hear from home.
On July 2, the resolution was
taken up in the Committee of the
Whole. Nine states voted to adopt
it. New York was excused, as its
Scene in Congress in 1776 as John Hancock, president of Congress,
receives the Declaration of Independence from committee appointed
to draft it. The committeemen are (left to right) John Adams, Roger
Sherman, Robert Livingston, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Frank
lin. The Declaration was adopted on July 4, but only Hancock signed
it on that day. This famous picture, painted by John Trumbull,
hangs in the Capitol at Washington.
delegates had no instructions;
Delaware was divided; only South
Carolina and Pennsylvania were
opposed. The next day, July 3,
Congress met in regular session
and the three states last named
voted formally with the nine in
favor of the resolution.
Meanwhile, on June 11, a com
mute consisting of Thomas Jef
ferson, John Adams, Benjamin
Franklin, Roger Sherman and
Robert Livingston had been ap
pointed to draw up a declaration
of the reasons for separation. The
document itself was the work of
Jefferson, though a few correc
tions were made by other mem
bers of the committee, and a few
amendments by Congress.
On July 4, the Declaration was
adopted by the vote of twelve
states, but it was signed on that
date only by John Hancock, presi
dent of Congress. Later, the docu
ment was engrossed on parchment
and, on August 2, this copy was
Lewis Vs. Taft-Hartley Act-II
BY PETER EDISON
WASHINGTON, — Biggest point
of debate among lawyers studying
the new Taft-Hartley Labor Law
is how the courts can frame an
injunction to stop the coal industry
tie-up now threatened.
The courts can’t compel anyone
to work if he doesn’t want to. The
Constitution says so. And the con
tract between the Unied Mine
Workers Union and the mine own
ers ended June 30. So the courts
can’t order the miners to go back
to work under previous working
conditions as to hours and pay.
But assume for the sake of argu
ment that the courts can get
around these obstacles by dicta
ting the terms of a new contract
of the judges’ own devising or by
ordering 1he miners to return to
work under terms of the expired
Krug-Lewis contract.
Under the Tan-Hartley law this
injunction may run for only 60
days, while labor and manage
ment try to make a new contract.
At the end of 60 days the Presi
dent could call back his Board of
Inquiry. This Board would then
make public the employer’s last
offer of settlement. Within 15 days
the National Labor Relations
Board would have to conduct an
election to see if a majority of the
employes wanted to accept this
final offer. This election would
cost the government about $180,
000.
If a majority of the miners
voted to acoept, the contract
would be drawn up on such terms.
If they voted against accepting,
within the next five days the at
torney general would have to ask
the courts to dissolve the injunct
ion. Thus 80 days after the in
junction was first granted the
miners would be free to go out on
strike again.
The Taft-Hartley law woulj then
require the President to report the
situation to Congress. If Congress
didn’t happen to be in session at
at that time—say about Oct. 1—no
body seems to know just what
would happen.
At this point, suppose the mine
owners »0 t$v <n >-o
the strike. The owners could ask
their old employes to return to
work. If the old employes didn’t
choose to do so the mine operator
could hire new workers and the
miners who didn’t come back to
work would lose their rights.
With a new working force the
employers would be free to break
away from the industry-wide bar
gaining agreements formerly sign
ed with John L. Lewis. Mine
owners might also try to break
away from the union shop, which
requires all employes to join the
union.
These conditions would put the
coal industry on an open-shop
basis, with bargaining by regions
or by state, local or individual
company units. If these changes
could be put over, the power of
the union would be broken and
John L. Lewis would be licked.
But suppose that the new em
ployes goj together in a new local
union of the United Mine Workers
and decided* to bargain.
Since the United Mine Workers
Union had not been certified as
bargaining agent under the Taft
Hartley Act, the first step would
be to hold another NLRB election.
This would take another month.
First tile union would have to
register with the Secretary of
Labor under the Taft-Hartley Act
provisions. The union would have
to certify that none of its officers
was a Communist, file full finan
cial reports, and certify that
copies had been furnished all its
members.
Then the union would have to
get 30 per cent of the employes
of the unit to sign petitions des
ignating the United Mine Workers
Union as bargaining agent.
In the meantime, a lot of
secondary issues would have to be
settled: status of foremen, super
visory employes, professional em
ployes, agreement on checkoff,
how to deal with non-member em
ployes.
All of these decisions would be
subject to court review. A mini
mum of six months might be re
quired to restart collective bar*
signed by all the members of Con
gress who were present, including
those from New York, who had
not previously voted.
Strictly speaking, independence
was declared, not on July 4, but
on July 2 and July 3, when Con
gress voted for Lee’s resolution,
the formal Declaration was adopt
ed on July 4. The parchment copy
of the Declaration is now kept in
the Department of State.
