The proposals that Gen. George
Van Horn Moseley be court-mar-
tialed, and the suggestion of Thom-

of U. S. Veterans, Inc., that he is
guilty of treason, seem pretty mid-

A number of industries and re-
tail stores in Paducah deserve nil
the praise that can be given them
lor the manner in which they pro-
vide work for locnl labor. I have
in mind the bakeries, laundry, ice
plant, bottling company, gins and
the general under army regulations, schcme these are ruthiessly sup-
!LB pressed. In Germany and Italy, re-
we are not skilled. But it would
seem unwise to pursue them. For
the very worst thing that could hap-
pen would be at this point to make
a martyr of General Moseley.
Hitler never amounted to much
until he was jailed for Ills sickly

ment is much Indebted to the build-
ing up of martyrs in the public, and
especially the party, eye.
The general has been very defi-
nitely out of order. Despite a service
record in many ways distinguished,
he seems never to have grasped the
fundamental fact of the American
military service—that it must not,
and generally docs not, meddle in
politics. The American way implies
a complete separation between the
military and civil powers which is
something galling to military men
with political minds.
Yet it is basic. An American sol-
dier is an American trained and
pledged to carry out missions as-
signed to him by the appropriate
civil authorities. He is not an in-
triguer. nor lias he any duty to
"save the country" except under
definite orders from his properly-
constituted superiors, chief of whom

Genera! Moseley should know
these things, as practically all of
his associates in the service know
them, and as 99 44-100ths of them
observe them.
As a pensioner drawing $6000 a
year from the taxpayers, the general
is not only subject to the military
authority directly, but he is subject
to a canon of good taste which dic-
tates that he employ his well-earned
leisure in pursuits outside the active
, political field. There Is always trout
fishing, and the collecting of stamps
is said to induce quietness of mind.
The general, during his active
career, served his country well. Tne
country, in retiring the general on
a generous and sufficient pension,
recognized this, but It also pointedly
indicated that it no longer required
his formal active services ns a sol-
dier.
From this, any man able to take
a broad hint might deduce that nei-
ther does the country require his

So much is said about the trend
toward centralization, toward bigger
units, toward co-operative effort,
that one is apt t6 exaggerate the
drift toward these things. We get
the Idea that the individual mer-
chant, the single-store independent,
is being crowded out. of the business
picture entirely
It isn’t true, according to a survey
just completed for the Twentieth
Century Fund, which concludes that
nearly two-thirds of the total vol-
ume of retail sales is still handled
through such stores. Establishments
of that type have held their own in
numbers since 1929, the survey
found, and up to 1935 they were still
86 per cent ol all the stores in the
United States
The survey indicates that there
were in 1935 about 1.600,000 retail
stores, employing some 4.000,000 peo-
ple outside their proprietors.
That is a sizable block of people
engaged In distribution of goods—
with their families, they would rep-
jesent probably more than 20,000,000
lieople. The ducs-paying member-
ship of the American Federation of

it a group comparable in size.
