Beer Joints Must
Be Very Careful
Raleigh, April 15—The Brew
ers and North Carolina Beer Dis -
tributors Committee today re
quested city and county officials
of Stokes county to scrutinize
carefully "all applications for re
tail beer licenses to the end that
the industry may be purged of il
legal or undesirable outlets-"
Edgar H. Bain of Golds bo ro,
State Director in charge of the
I beer industry's "clean up or close
up" campaign in North Carolina,
cited the 1939 statute which pro
hibits the issuance of retail beer
licenses to persons guilty of U-
I quor law violations "within the
last two years prior to the filing
|of the application " He reminded
that the new tax year for beer
licenses begins May L
"In venturing to call this sec
tion to your attention," Colonel
Bain wrote city and county offi-
J clals, "we courteously and re
spectfully urge you to refuse li
• censes to all dealers who can not
comply with the law."
! "In our investigation of beer
dealers in North Carolina, we
have found several instances
where dealers convicted of liquor
law violations in 1938 were re-li
feilert will be eliminated to
1940 for the welfare both of the
I communities and of the beer in
dustry, which contributes more
I than ten million dollars annually
in taxes and wages in this state "
This letter to city and county
officials was the latest move in
the committee's fight against the
small minority of beer dealers
who violate the law and public
decency, Colonel Bain said. He
reminded thdt the committee had
secured the revocation of 67 li
censes since September. In addi
tion, the committee has petition-'
ed for revocation of 26 licenses in
eight other counties, and has
warned 97 dealers in 57 counties
to "clean up" or face more dras
tic sctiot.. 4
"A great majority of beer out
lets are reputable places of busi
ness," the state director said,
"and It is our intention to rid
communities of those undesirable,
places which are a nuisance to
the communities and a threat to
a $10,000,000 industry."

(An Editorial)
GERMANY WILL WIN THE WAR—LET THE
UNITED STATES GIRD FOR BATTLE
You smile and say, we are seeing- red. That's
right, you are wrong.
There are pseudo-patriots of conservatism and
uncommon sense and gullibility, like Senator
Johnson of California; and pro-Huns like Ben
nett Clark of Missouri, who is willing to jeopar
dize the interests of his country because of the
heavy German vote of Saint Louie; and then we
have erratics like Bob Reynolds and criss-cross
d. f.'s of the caliber of West Virginia's colt Holt.
These may be expected to blatantly oppose a
2-ocean navy and a fleet of 100,000 bombing
But these reasons will not materially af
fect your need of this super-preparedness in the
c&awn of Der Tag.
Germany is winning and will win the war.
We love England because she is our nearest
of kin. But this is no excuse for us to bury our
heads, like ostriches, in the sand and refuse to
see.
We love to dream in a fancied security be
cause we know that oift* nation has not been dis
turbed because of the power of the flag on which
the sun never sets. We sleep because we know
that Britannia has ruled the waves.
But sea power has become obsolete in a mod
ern sense. It has now become the time when
one can live without the visitations of argosiete
loaded with food. One can live and fight on the
sustenance obtained by absorbing one's sur
roundings and One's prosperous neighbors, who
have food and oil, steel, lumber and coal.
Then if we need to cross waters, we fly across.
Notice—the Boches stick and hold their latest
grabs—Denmark, Norway. You can't oust
them. They systematically incorporate their
gains, receiving- all the time reinforcements,
consolidating, growing stronger. They dig in.
What can you do about it?
How inconvenient it must make the Briton
feel to see "hostile colossal sea bases for subma
rines and airplanes, building before his front
door.
Where was England when the Hun grabbed
these" menacing ocean fronts so close to London
and Paris?
Asleep at the switch, as usual. Listening to
Chamberlain's coki blasts, watching him
wave his umbrella, and lulled by Churchill's
cusses.
Hitler's armies, we are told, negotiated over
300 miles 5 24 "hours, fastening tentacles on
the fair laads unsuspecting and trustful in their
"neutrality."
The world has never seen a smarter warrior
than Hitler. He "bides "his time. His plans are
secret as the grave. Like the eagle he "watches
from his mountain walls, and like a thunderbolt
he falls.:
Napoleon struck while the foe slept. Hitler
strikes while the enemy trusts. !:•
The most formidable weapon of all the imple
ments of war is SURPRISE
In every one of his coups-de-main—Austria,
Czechoslovakia, Poland, Scandinavia—Hitler
sprang when his yictim didn't think he would or
could spring.
Ah, innocence, credibility, gullibility.
Where will his next blow fall? You say he
can't get through Maginot? He will not violate
Holland, Belgium or Switzerland.
