The High Point College enters its twenty-first year and appeals for debt relief and continued city backing. The editorial argues the college has boosted local culture and economy and will do more with fair opportunity and active financial support from High Point.
Tax economist Frank E. Seidman proposes a production incentive tax to encourage higher output. The plan rewards productivity with lower rates as capital use rises and taxes fall below set standards, penalizing inactivity to curb scarcity and spur spontaneous production.
The piece argues Americans and English near Berlin faster than Russians, notes fewer German crimes blamed on Germans by the Anglo American commission, and dismisses Russia’s potential separate peace. It praises a hard line against Germany and mocks Nazi and Soviet hopes for leniency or compromise.
The piece reflects on Jewish history and religious freedom across nations. It contrasts liberty in some countries with oppression in Germany and Poland, notes Hitler's attempt to exterminate a people defined by religious tradition, and recounts a brief ancient origin story from desert to Palestine and Jerusalem.
George Sokolsky reflects on the Jews as a resilient, distinct people surviving 4000 years of persecution. He notes their deep Torah rooted ethics and faith, attribute their endurance to virile belief, and observes renewed Jewish celebration in Nazi-overrun lands despite Hitler’s aims.
In Washington the push for compulsory postwar military training divides opinion. General Marshall favors a small standing force with a citizen reserve but rejects universal draft as democratic or efficient, arguing modern armies depend on technicians and combined arms rather than mass conscription.
Paul Mallow ing argues that war requires highly trained technicians beyond a year of service for 17 year olds. He notes 1 081 852 males aged 17 in 1940 and questions whether a one year program would produce an efficient fighting force. He contends mature training and broader methods are necessary, promising a further column tomorrow.
Opinion in North Carolina favors broader consolidation of teacher training schools with or without unifying the system. Proposals include integrating East Carolina, Boone, and Cullowhee into a single university or creating a separate board for the three white colleges. A mixed plan would add the Durham and Greensboro Negro schools to the university while keeping remaining Negro teachers under one board.
Advocates argue that a unified state education system with a single board for all grades would advance equality by ending pay and standards differentials for white and colored teachers. They expect Negro representation on the State Board of Education and on other boards, claiming a fully graduated system from first grade through post graduate school. The coming legislature is expected to confront this issue.
