S|>eaker Says (Continued from pace one) her works as expressed in the deeds of senators, governors and other statesmen. "There was the young boy who was left on the Confederate battle field for dead He returned to his old* home in South Carolina and with ar. old milk cow that had been hidden in the swamps and with his hand or the plow share and his mind on good books, he created the best agri cultural experiment station in the world Coker did that because he mastered books. Another boy wondered as he stood along the banks of the Cataw ba Hiver why the stream ?ould nol produce power and light for the South. Through his math and phys ics hooks he saw huge machines arid dams that would produce and send power and light over vast wire net works to machines and provide light for us here tonight Another boy from the farm enter ed the University and wrote about hornefolks and not about sophisticat ed society and broad way Paul Green and good books got together, and pic- t tured the first stepping stone to a new empire in his 'Lost Colony' on Roanoke Island * We are feeding the needy hun gry. We also need to feed the minds and soute of youth We need to keep company with great books and we'll never miss the companionship of brief acquaintances around the card table on Fifth Avenue." Referring tu President Roosevelt's charge that the South is the Nation's Economic Problem No. 1, Dr. Gra ham told the graduates that they need books and the South needs them. "The President did not make that statement to slander the South He said it in sympathy, in apprecia South." The University president cited the great traditions held by the South, its gift to democracy and his tory. He recalled the statement of the economist who said that a land without a killing frost during six months is blessed. He referred to the vasi natural resources,"and olhel lid-' vantages that add up to give the South a valid claim to the good things of life. But he then cited the detractions, and it was with an earn st speech devoid of hate on envy that he pointed out the case of sul phur. "Ninety-nine per cent of the sulphur is produced in the south. There are fifteen men on the board of directors, but only one of those men is from the South." "Blesst'd a-s TTTs.

Continuing he saidr--' Only--eleven per cent of the hank deposits are in the South. Of the 28 billion dollars m insurance assets, only one billion is in the South. All the endowments fpr colleges and universities in ihe South will not equal one endowment for a certain university in the North. "We produce wealth, but it's drain ed off," the educator declared in pointing out the tariff long levied against agriculture, the discriminat ing freight rates and the tax struc ture "The Southern farmer pays taxes in Detroit to educate the chil dren there because in the manufac ture of automobiles the maker adds the tax, hut in Mississippi the farm-J i'i can't ship his land and he has to pay taxes there, too. "The South, is carrying a great load in rearing children who, at pro ductive age. go North. Graduates, you stay home and fight it out even if you don't make as much. Help rub out the minus signs that are robbing the South of its wealth. The pioneers of old conquered and settled new homes with axe and gun.

Late reports | stated that the Allies were retreat ing northward possibly to make an other effort to withstand German at j tacks a hundred or more miles north of Trundheim. No estimate on the loss of life has been mentioned, but large stores of allied provisions art* said to have fallen into German hands. A weak claim came from England maintaining that effective air raids had been made against German air fields in Norway. Disappointment is general in England today where the people are | demanding a change in the govern I merit Observers declare that Mr. 'Chamberlain will be ousted by next Tuesday unless he can offer valid excuses for the miserable Allied fail ures in Norway and give some news l more encouraging than that heard during recent weeks. Hog Pric *es Lower O As Result Of War Washington. D. C.?Hog prices are continuing to run at extremely low levels, far out of line with cattle prices. This situation which began to develop more than a year ago has now become acute. Compared with the 1921-34 Janu ary average, the 5 per cent more hogs slaughtered in January this year sold for 33 per cent lower prices, whereas the 13 per cent larger cat tle slaughtered sold roughly at 7 per cent high prices By March 15 hog prices dropped another 7 per cent below parity. Though hogs usually command a higher price per 100 pounds than cat tle, this situation has been sharply reversed.

These outlets haye been greatly re-: stricted as a result of the war, par ticularly owing to the Allied ban on U. S. foodstuffs. Another factor responsible for the drop in hog prices to the farmers is the increase in"charges for "processing and distributing The Department of Agriculture states that the level of these chaiges "has been gri'Utei 111 the past three years than the average for the period 1921-34." Furthermore lard production re turned this year to its pre-drouth av erage, and with exports curtailed the price has moved down.
