The Press Maconian is independent in its policies and is glad to print both sides of any question. Letters to the editor should be written legibly on only one side of the paper and should be of reasonable length. The editor reserves the right to reject letters which are too long, are of small general interest or which would violate the sensibilities of our readers. The Problem of Distribution LJISTORY cites many causes, for wars and ag- gressions, for riots , and revolutions, but the basic cause of all national and international dis turbances, from ancient times to the present day, if traced down, is found to be economic the actual or imagined need for something which one party has in abundance and another party lacks. This is particularly true at. the present time. The nations with teeming populations which they are unable to sustain by the products of their own domain ; the lack of basic -raw materials which other states may have in abundance; the tariff barriers which prevent the free flow of products from one nation to another ; the policy of self sufficiency and isolation all of these things con tribute to the unrest that is rife in the world today. The greatest thinkers of the time agree that the problem to be solved is the problem of distribu tion the establishment of a balanced standard of living among all civilized peoples but it is a prob lem which seems to defy solution. One man only seems to have grasped-something of the real significance of the world's trouble Cordell Hull, secretary of state of the United States. His reciprocal treaties have stimulated the 4X change of commodities between our country and other nations, and without detriment to any 'of our own peculiar products, boosted the foreign trade of . the United States by hundreds of millions of dollars within the past twelve months. And he is now preparing to conclude-the greatest of all the agreements by making a give-and-take trade with Great Britain. The diplomats of some other countries, noting the progress made by Mr. Hull, are moving in the same direction, and if the outlaw nations can be brought into line, there will then be hope that the threat of war which has so long been hanging over the world may. disappear. Mr. Hull has seen that alliances and agreements for the balance of power, armaments and-blocs, will not fend off another world war, but that the supplying of the common needs of the common people of all nations, without the present hamper ing barriers, may show the way to peace. The problem of balanced distribution once solved, all other problems will be easy, and to that man or group of men who may find the solution to this great matter will go the glory for banishing war from the earth forever. "The Service We Call a Newspaper" By JOHN DANA WISE, Publisher Richmond Times-Dispatch Reprinted from "Shining Lines," house organ of the Mergenthaler ' Linotype Company DROBABLY no two people would agree on the value of the thing-we manufacture. Our ser vice is worth more to one reader than another; more to one advertiser than another. It appears to me that the purchaser is not particularly inter pstprl in the tvne of men who manufacture his rook ing stoves, ploughshares, fishing hooks, canne.d peas or what-have-you. But both reader and ad vertiser are interested in the men who create ser- -' JZrrr77,,r,M,Mhw . rx$. :. i- The humble cottage in which Andrew Johnson, who succeeded , Abraham Lincoln to the presidency, was born, is loaded on a truck at Raleigh, N.

Those of us who manufacture this service we call a newspaper should therefore seek to gather about us men of fine character, of scrupulous honesty, of tenacious courage, having unimpeachable ethics, for only such men can manufacture a newspaper of maximun value to the community, .the reader and the advertiser. A spiritualist appearing at an Atlanta theater advertised for a man to spend a night in one of the city's graveyards, and offered $25.00 for the job. It is said that there were no colored applicants. .Soil Program Aids In Diversification (Editor's note: This is the sev enth in a series of articles in which two farmers discuss the ag ricultural conservation program.) John Brown : "The 1938 program will also help you balance your farming operations." Bill Smith: "I need to balance my income with my expenses. I've been running behind for so long that I'd about given up hope." . Brown: "It'll help you do that too. It's the . best all-round farm program I've ever heard of. "The committeemen will tell you how many acres you should plant to the different cash crops. And by limiting your acreage of cash or soil-depleting crops, you will have other land available for grow ing legumes and grasses. "With , this, you can start farm ing on a good crop rotation system instead of keeping a field in the same crop year after year. "The program also encourages us to grow pastures and hay crops to feed livestock. This cuts down on the expense of feed. With, a well balanced farming program, many other expenses will be kept down too. "And when you start growing more feed, you can have more live stock. Cou know, livestock are needed to balance out your farm enterprise." , Smith: "Yeah. I think most all of us around here could do bet ter if we had a few more cows and hogs." Brown: "That's right, Bill. I think we could have some more beef cattle, sheep, and work stock too. They're good money-makers. And it's a lot cheaper to raise your work stock than to buy it." Smith: "I could use some ma nure on my place. I've been wish ing I had enough to spread on my land regularly." " Brown : "Yes. There you have still another advantage from the program. More feed, more livestock, more manure. I tell you, it's hard to beat."
