Sugar prices have advanced Irom five to nine cents m a week Flour prices have advanced Even plain old fat back has advanced in price, giving undisputuble evidence c>f the stiong fiold the ruthless profiteer has around the helpless But the profiteer ls not ultogetbci responsible for rising price Often it is the little man who strains a point to buy HIO pounds of sugar when only 25 pounds would meet his needs The lit tle guv fans the blaze that scorches his own hide and enriches the profiteer The common people of this nation could do nothing bettci if they would help reduce spec ulation than maintaining their normal buying habits But, sad to relate, they will not do some thing so simple as that as long as there is just one iay of hojn for getting a little something for nothing We should remeinbei and possibly a few do remcinbet that any and virtually all profits made through speculation during the last war were, m nearly all case; wiped out at the close of the conflict It will be well for every one of us to forget speculation and maintain our daily living sched ules 011 a solid foundation, a foundation that carriei?principle and fairness /.lAcr/y llnril '#7* Ifvfinr The fellow who speeds his car along the streets and highways, endangering the life and prop erty ot others, declares Ins liberty has been thwarted when cops pick him up and carry him before the courts Abraham Lincoln, during the Civil War. point ed out the difficulty of defining the word "Lib erty" when he said 111 a Baltimore speech "The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator. While the wolf de nounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty, especially as the sheep was a black one. Plainly , the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word Liberty, and precisely the same difference prevails to day among us human creatures." \ vr/orA Charlotte News Senate) Gerald Nye may be a true neutral, but lie gives every indication of bearing, a dark grudge against the Kuropean democracies, our late Allies and present first line of defense. Only treasured spite could be behind the pro posal that 2(1 to 25 per cent be addt'd to the cost of supplies purchased and applied as interest on debts from the last war Wtih their fallen exchange and a stiff price rise. England and France aijcjgoing to have to pay dearly as it is for what they buy in the Unit ed States And whereas it is freely conceded that the removal of the arms embargo is designed for their benefit exclusively, a surcharge on goods to pay old debts could be designed only to benefit Germany Germany proper owes no war debts to the United States Plenty of them she owes to Eng land and France, to be sure, and it was her default which first interrupted p-.ymon<c ,,f Allied debts But the countries taken over by Hitler's Reich owed vast sums to the United States, which have been immediately repudiated by the new management. Austria that was. Czech oslovakia that was, Poland that was?together they owed the United States in excess of $400. 000,000. Try and get it. In any case, let Senator Nye recall that the onus of defaulted debts lies equally upon both sides in the European conflict, which will com pel him to invent some other reason for harm ing England and France to the benefit of Ger many and Russia Employees in a tinned-fruit factory are en couraged to sing at their work.

Education Education docs not' mean teaching people what they do not know. It means teaching them to behave as they do not behave. It is not teach ing the youth the shapes of letters and the tricks of numbers and then leaving them to turn their arithmetic to roguery, and their literature to lust It means, on the contrary, training them into the perfect exercise and kinglv continence of their bodies and souls It is a painful, con tinual and difficult work, to be done by kind ness. by watching, by warning, by precept, and by praist bat above all b\ example .John Ruskiri I <i Sari' Our llidi's Mom than twii t" years ago we entered thi* war to sari' uwnncrary.

Fiance and the Netherlands the most outspoken critics of Japan s expansion pro gram in the Far East, the nations who have most at stake in that far-flung area, are the very na tions which an supplying and have supplied Japan with 85 per cent of her materials In fact. America's oil fields, steel furnaces, copper veins and junkyards are almost as im portant to Japan as the recruits who are enlist ed in the Japan army to fight the Chinks Last year Japan imported .'106 millions of dol lars worth of war materials, f?6 per cent of same from the United Stales. 20 69 per cent from the British Empire, 6.62 per cent from the Dutch East Indies, 0 211 per cent from France and 14.46 pel cent from all other countries. Strangely en ough, Germany, with whom the Japanese army wants to form an alliance furnished only a small percent of war materials. Italy practically none, and Soviet Russia, the reprobate among decent society, was less hypocritical than any other The Soviets sold the Japs exactly nothing in the way of war materials The United States has just censured Japan by denouncing a 28-year-old trade treaty and looks askance at Japanese penetration toward the Philippine Islands Great Britain rules the ?tnpne whose citizens have recently Iroett strm ped and threatened by Japanese soldiers in Chi na The Netherlands is landlord of the Dutch East Indies, rich source of oil which Japan cov ets France has a state in French Indo-China and in French concessions in China proper, all of which lie in the path of Japanese conquest The United States is virtually Japan's only source of scrap iron, furnishing that nation with ill) per cent of her scrap iron and steel last year. Almost all of the gasoline used in Japan's air planes, which have murdered hundreds of thou sands of defenseless men women and children in China, comes from America Japan also gets practically all her heavy machinery and dies from the United States Of essential war supplies needed and used by the Japs last yea I the United States furnish ed the following: 65.57 per cent of gasoline; 90 per cent of all copper; 67.09 per cent of metal workmg machinery; 76.92 per cent aircraft and parts, 65.67 per cent automobiles and parts; and 62 02 per cent of all iron materials Of ev ery $100 the Japs spent in the United Spates last year, $67,42 went for war materials. British industrialists have a monopoly on tin and nickel trade with Japan and also lead in the trade in rubber, zinc iron and manganese ore Were Japan deprived of the raw materials and machinery that come almost solely from the democratic nations, her army and navy might be immobilized and her growing indus tries might wither away. In the past two or three years, Japan has-made rapid strides in manufacturers and in the course of a few more years might not need so much from the demo cratic nations. There you are. Boycotting Japan through trade embargo would hurt commercial activi ties in the democratic nations the United States ' most of all. Southern cotton farmers alone to the extent of more than 200 millions of dollars a year. The irony of it is that the democratic imtionl stand aghast at the slaughter of noncombatant Chinese, at the destruction of property, at the insults to nationals, at disregard for democratic property rights in the orient yet most of the material that exploded and sends Chinese to meet their ancestors comes from these very na tions whose people are outraged at Japanese acts. The bombs that fall on American and Bri tish missions and colleges, and on British ships and shipping, are filled with explosives bought from these selfsame nations themselves The gist of the whole matter is this ? that the world nas become so commercialized that the average munitions maker doesn't give a whoop who is scalped just so he gets his profits.

J alue Of Green Or Deatl /V? Vines Is The Same Contrary to popular belief, there is practically no difference in the ul timate .value of a legume crop whe ther it is turned under green or af ter it is dead However, a crop turn ed under green will decay more (juu kly and therefore become avail able as plant food in less time than one that i> allowed to ripen. Where tin peas are to be followed by corn or cotton next year, they should be allowed to mature and dm and then be turned in the lute fall Otherwise tin- vines may be turned under when green, provided the following crop is not seeded too early.

Yet they actually cost the public less than so-called "cheap" pavements. Concrete is safe because it pro vides a better "track" for vehi cles. From your own experience you know that its even, gritty surface reduces skidding, wet weatherordry. Its freedom from bumps, ruts and chuckholes gives you better control at the wheel. Concrete's light gray color and high reflection factor help you see better at night. Yet, with all these advantages, concrete is actually the cheapest road to have. First, because it costs less to build than other pavements of equal load-carry ing capacity. Second, because concrete costs less to maintain ?saves hundreds of dollars per mile, every year, compared with less enduring surfaces. Urge public officials to build your roads with safe and saving concrete. PORTLAND CEMENT ASSOCIATION State Planters Bank Bldg., Richmond, Va.
