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. BETTER EXPLAIN Tuibby—^Now, listen here! One I of these days I’m ,jolng to start | in and tell you a few things.

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.
