Every afternoon, Monday through Friday Wants Debate State Wide * One of the shortcomings of modem political cam paigning in North Carolina over a period, of years has been Ipi unwillingness of candidates to debate the issues from the same platform at the same time. The practice, once popular, has been replaced by the “rally” type meeting in which one candidate visits a town, is greeted by his followers, eulogized, makes his speech, and moves along, to be followed by the othecs. Weakness in this practice is that the “rally” is usually attended pniy fay the followers of the particular Candidate— tthe supporters of his opponent stay away until “their man” comes through i It is with pleasure, therefore, that we notice both Hubert .Olive and Bill Umstead, have accepted an invitation from the Dunn Information Clinic to engage in a debate in She progressive Harnett County city during the month pf Jim McMillan, the director of the clinic, is due a vote cf thinks from all concerned. We hope the idea will spread imd that every section of North Carolina can have the privilege qf seeing and hearing both the candidates for * governor at the same time. In the meantime the people of the Dunn section can zest a&urA that they win be enabled to cast (me of the most intelligent votes «f any section of North Carolina in .the Democratic primary.

So everybody was happy, except ftMiikf pjy |tOSLE|GN T&A |>E One of tfrs assumptions to Imre gained currency during the PftAt 20 years to that we need to invest huge sums of capital in many for eign countries with the object not oply Os keeping pur own industries ip flourishing epodittqn but also to gain us friends and attics. Lend-Lease, the Good Neighbor Policy, the Marshall •Plgn, BCA, Point Four and some of the activi ties at the RwMFpunjiatton are and raw materials to ml parts of the world As temporary expedients, some of the methods employed by these agencies have produced both favorable and unfavorable results. Frpm the standpoint of long term - analysis, certain unfavorable fac tors already appear: 1. If foreign trade is essential, government “dumping," paid for out of taxes, cannot be a substitute for ordinary business processes. On this subject, the National Foreign Trade Council has this to say: “It cannot be expected that eco nomic environments conducive to 1 the Investment of American private I capital will be established in these < foreign lands so long as the gov- ‘ emments concerned have reason J to believe—as they do have reason i to believe—that they will continue 1 to be the beneficiaries pf the hand- < outs our own government has given i them for so long. The keynote to the establishment of the climates i naaded for the achievement of the t ends in view is the recognition by | the foreign governments concerned < that the United States will not j yield to pressures for the provision < of indiscriminate largesse;” i The acceptance of the handout can become a habit. It is usually : accompanied by ingratitude and i profligacy. 1 2. The United States has expend- i ml Ms irreplaceable raw materials ] lavishly and Is already forced to ' import such commodities as copper, : bauxite (aluminum), and iron ore j in larger quantities than is alto- i gether safe. For instance, In Chile, ; at the present time, the copper supply of the United States is being i Imperilled by socialistic trends lead- Indies. 3. There is no evidence that (friendship can be purchased by trade or gifts and that nationals- j tic tendencies, strong in historic manifestations, can be snuffed out by public relations or soft speeches. As a matter of fact, the contrary seems to be true, as witness our current difficulties with Great Brit ain and France, to say nothing of the *1,000,000,000 the United States gave to Soviet Russia to rescue that country from Oprmany, which we are now financing. | Nationalism, in its most Intense : expression, is the truest reaction of public opinion In most countries since the war. While the United ! States has gone internationalist, ' the rest of the world Is going na- 1 tlonallst. The evidence rather points to 1 the tact that the United States 1 Is now engaged upon a policy Which ] requires special friendly attention to Japan and Germany, who were ‘ our enemies in the last war. and to Spain, whom we defamed and 1 opposed. While national Interests may be fixed, international relations are always fluid. It is not often recognized that the mechanism of tcpelgn trade Is not the movement of goods and services but of money from one j countries to another. When the principal currencies of the world gpre good, the exchange rate was , tip determining factor In foreign ; |ade, because it decided price and . Availability in one country at goods idS services originating in another. ■flhere are no good currencies in the world today. The best of a bad jpt Is the American dollar. AST gad, in one way or another, to that - American dollar, and from its swal ajjiother currencies are trying to libarate themselves, j Rfhen the English Vound Sterling controlled, it was a free currency: HP is, its value wgs determined the British pound beeune a man gad currency of no really fixed gfc from the va- M>o * managed currency 'of nn debasement of money by gov iinaouDtecuy toe priaci foreign trade.

On that seat, many years ago, my father used to sit when he was the first civil governor of the Vir gin Islands, looking out over the Caribbean trying to chart a more prosperous economy from the ruins of abandoned sugar mills and the rum distilleries that were no more. The problem of prosperity was fairly simple in Francis Drake’s day. His fleet merely lurked in the channel between St. Thomas and the British island of Tortola and pounced on Spanish galleons loaded. with gold as they started back to Spain. Gr, later, British and Danish planters merely imported more Af rican slaves for their sugar fields and reaped a wealth which made that area one of the most prosper ous In the world. But (the British fleet which once made ) these islands wealthy also ■WHNibutuil wax** duvutalli Wlvsn it blockaded France during the Na poleonic wars, Napoleon developed beet sugar. That, plus the rend of slavery, plus the purchase of the Virgin Islands from Denmark by Woodrow Wilson in 1917, plus oil burning vessels which no longer need dock at St. Thomas for coal, left these islands poverty stricken and hopeless, with the Negro pop ulation seething with unrest. ISLANDB BRANDED “FOORHOUSE” It was at this point, at the height of the Hoover depression, that my father took over. Herbert Hoover, who appointed him, made one visit to Uie islands, publicly branded them “an effective poorhouse’’ and went back to worry about things closer to home. That was in 1931. The problem of reviving those bankrupt islands eventually bloke my father. He left the islands four years later, criticized grid reviled. The white pisuitaUou owners con spired against him. The Negro poli ticians i mpjoned him. He was even accused rs stealing four bapr if rc men: put sometimes those who are reviled Hue most eventually aie rev ered the most, and last week I was invited back to St. Thomas to dedi cate the first public housing project In tnese islands.
