LIBERTY
THURSDAY
FRIDAY
OUR TOWN
Tokyo, Aug. 1. — President
Roosevelt’s ban on the export of
aviation gasoline to po-ints out
side of the Western Hemisphere
was interpreted by the Admiralty
spokesman today as a move a-
gainst Japan, Germany and Italy
which might lead to “repercus
sions.’’
TTje spokesman also inferenti-
ally warned foreign powers
gain.st interference in the current
round-up of persons—apparently
mostly Britons—suspected of es
pionage. He said this was entirely
an internal affair, and in this
connection he warned newspaper
correspondents against “illegiti
mate activities.”
The American aviation gaso
line embargo, he said, was “an
attempt to kill two birds with one
stone,’’ namely, the Rome-Berlin
axi.; and Japan. He added:
"Under whatever pretext the
order on aviation gasoline was is
sued it undoubtedly is designed
to exert economic pressure on
Japan.
“If America continues on the
same lines it is bound to cause re
percussions.”
Background note: President
Roosevelt signed the order yester
day in “the interest of national
defense,” a 'White House an
nouncement said.
The Admiralty spokesman de
clined to discuss the round-up of
espionage suspects on the ground
it was still under way. He said:
“It is entirely an internal af
fair and it must be clear to every
body that national secrets during
an emergency period must be
strictly observed.
“The measures being taken are
normal and in accordance with
the law of the realm. It would
be entirely irrelevant for Britain
to take retaliatory measoires. Al
so, it would cause trouble if cor
respondents should abuse their
privileges by going beyond the
legitimate bounds.”
U. S. Ally Of Britain,
Says Molotoff
Moscow-, Aug. 1—Foreign Com
missar 'Vyacheslaff Molotoff told
the Russian Parliament today
that Soviet Russia “is not taking
part in the war” and predicted
its early intensification with
‘England, assisted by the United
States,” on the one hand fighting
Germany and Italy on the other.
Recent events, including col
lapse of France, had only served
to Improve Russia’s relations with
Germany, Molotoff declared in a
four-months’ review of foreign
relations, while saying better
understanding with England
could ha,rdly be expected in view
of past anii-Soviet manifestations
on the part of the British Gov
ernment.
Turning to the United States,
Molotoff said:
“I will not d'well on. our rela
tions with the United States of
America if only for the reason
that there is nothing good that
can he said about them.

Tuibby—^Now, listen here! One I

L. L. Ray, rural electric engi
neer for the Duke Power com
pany, told the North Wilkesboro
Kiwanis club Friday noon of the
changing agricultural conditions
in. North Carolina and predicted
greater changes during the next
five years.
The program was in charge of
T., E. Story, who presented the
speaker. Mr. Ray pointed out that
five years ago there were only
11,000 rural homes electrified, as
compared to 82,000 rural homes
which now have electric service.
He -said that diversified farm
ing fits hand and glove into the
rural electrification program. He
said that people of the towns and
business people conld aid greatly
In helping farmers to understand
the advantages to be derived from
various uses of electricity.
At the meeting Friday Ralph
Johnson was a guest of Carl E.
'VanDeman and Ray Erwjn was a
guest of H. H. Morehouse. 1
