What is there In world history to compare with the rapidity of Hitler’s conquest of Poland? How did ne achieve his objective quickly, -so forcefully, and completely? ’’’he answer is sim ple. He invaded with aircraft, tanks, and motorized infantry— weapons which Poland lacked. It was 191S against 1940, and therefore an ea.sy victory for Ger many. army are requirements that must be met Immediately, says the Gen eral. There must be no chink in our defensive armor. News of tremendous appropriations for de fense has lulled us into a feeling of false socurity. We are not get ting what has been promised. Navy expansion bas been check od by jammed shipyards and a lack of skilled labor. A program for readying a motorized army bas .been provided, but it won’t be completed even In part till June of 1941. We lack the 105 mm howitzers which the Allies are using widely. French 75’s we have in abundance but they are outmoded and less powerful than the latest type. In regard to our navy. General Johnson quotes Admiral H. R. Stark, Chief of Naval Operations, as saying, “. . . Our relative naval position is constantly becoming weaker.” What of air bases in Puerto Rico, in the far Pacific, and in Alaska, our back door? They are all bad ly protected. General Johnson de clares. Much of what has happened has been due to our excusable failure to keep abreast of the speed of fatal foreign develop ments,” he says, and we are now more aware that a great deal has to be done, and done quickly for our defense. This defense cannot be accomplished, he contends, by helping England and France de feat Hitler, or by checking Japan in the Par East. Europe’s douible- crossing diplomacy has proved so!that only immediate self-interest so!in the Americas is Important. General Hugh S. Johnson has not gone as far afield as it would seem when ho compares our plight with the situation )n Po land last fall. Writing about A- merica’s paper defenses in the July issue of Cosmopolitan Mag azine, he says that considering size, we are little better off than were the Poles. No matter how strong our resources, our wealth may be an actual liability unless w e have a force adequately equipped and organized to defend them. Though there is no threat of an immediate Blitzkrieg, it must be remembered that defens es cannot be bought overnight, and that troops require time be- lore they are properly trained. A stronger navy, a better air lefense and a modern motorized Our present policy of dabbling in the war, concludes General Johnson, cannot insure our own peace and safety. Daily occur rences abroad prove this Inactiv ity to be scandalous and disgrace ful. far.ne>n- from Commissioner of Agr^^ late W, Kerr Scott reiports. I Clinics baTO bwn condacted- At the State Hospital, Morgantnnp * J Jackson ’Training School, Cost- - cord; N. C. C. W. Dairy, Guilford College; Stata Hospital, .Raleigh and the Caswell Training School, Kinston. The control program has been conducted under the supervision of Dr. William Moore,, chief of the Department’s veter inary division, with* two of the state’s best known authorities on ^imastltis” and breeding diseases in charge. Three-fourths of the practicing veterinarians in the State attended the clinics. "An examination of nearly 400 dairy animals throughout the State indicates the necessity of controllng mastitis and breeding problems if North Carolina is to increase its dairy industry,” Com missioner Scott sadd. ‘"rhe prin cipal value of prevention and control work on these diseases will greatly increase the milk production of the dairy animals and greatly prolong the useful life of the cow.” Dr. Moore reported that "mas titis is a disease that can Ue con trolled through the proper super vision and management ot herds,” adding that "the Department has received full cooperation of the dairy extension office at State College and other state institu tions.” Although mastitis control was emphasized at the clinics, herd managers and veterinarians also devoted a major part of the di sease-eradication and control dis cussions to a study of breeding proiblems that have cost farmers thousands of dollars in loss of animals each year. L'f i -*- S'SJ.’.l CROW VS. HOG Witnessed recently — a crow riding a hog’s back in an Ala- -bama peanut field. The hog would root up a peanut, the crow would then jump down and heat him to the goober; flying off to eat the nut, hack again the crow would come and repeat the operation. - . ■ ■■■ , Dating back 60 ybats ago reminds many of the older residents of the hardships and faa^dkiaps that have been overcome to make life more livable. The filbifr horse and buggy days have been replaced by mod em transportatton facilities, thus saving valuable time. Important ad vancement has been made in agriculture, and lessons learned that have proven of inestimable .value to our people. Camp lots have been re placed by automobile parking lots.
