Tuetday, November 12, 19-W, Who Won the Election? To read behind the super-intelligent in the >ig city papers who had the nerve to think that he American people would elect Mr. Wendell Villkie to the Presidency, one is made to won ler just who did win the recent election. Harping on Willkie's popular vote, a Balti nore paper is brazenly demanding that the ma ority bow to the minority, cast aside the New Deal and do an about face. In the face of the laltimore vote itself, it would appear that it s about time that the paper there change its vays and recognize the majority. If the elect Tate had turned out the New Deal and pull d Willkie in, then the Baltimore paper would ave some ground to stand on. Instead of braz nly demanding the New Deal to bow down 3 the minority, and it must be admitted that hat minority is sizable, the Baltimore paper nd about 90 per cent of the others, including magazine or two and several papers in this tate, should now recognize the mandate of he people and try to promote unity and peace mpng the American ranks. They'll not do that. Entertaining the belief hat they have super intelligence, the group hat has done nothing but attack the New Deal and question the rights of a majority is pparently already at work trying to tear down ather than build up. These men who claim to iold a corner on the intelligence of the coun ry have done nothing great that they should ome along now and demand the New Deal o bow down to a minority. That minority is ntitled to every consideration, but that minor ty should recognize there is a majority, too. It must be remembered that this is still a overnment of the people, and not a govern lent of the half-baked and dictatorial press f this Nation. Until the editor of the Baltimore iun and some other wise guys in North Caro ina and other states advance a greater knowl dge than possessed by the common masses hen let them recognize the common man. One rouble with this country today is that it has do many "great" leaders, and not enough hon st-to-goodness men who will claim member hip with and work for the common man. The ubsidiied press has worked for certain ob pctives far removed from the common peo >le ,and now the rotten-to-the-core organiza ion, closeted comfortably in the editor's sanc orum, is demanding the majority to bow down o the minority. No such action is provided in our system of !Overnment. Neville Chamberlain Neville Chamberlain, the great appeasor and ormer Prime Minister of England, is dead. The ?Id gentleman's death came Sunday night while he drone of enemy bombers was heard over lis home. Despite the blundering charged to him and he wreckage following his appeasement pol cies, the world is indebted to Chamberlain tc tome extent, at least. He proved at a cost tc lis popularity and fame that appeasement will lot work when tested by the barbarian. Pos libly, the United States today would be for ap leasement?there are those who still preach ippeasement, you know?had it not been foi Chamberlain and his plins. And then England would possibly be an en slaved country today had Chamberlain jump ?d into the war at Munich. His people were not prepared to fight; they were not ready to figh it that early date. A declaration of war at tha time would have been charged to the wai mongers and capitalists, and England's spiri would have bowed tp Hitler just as prouc France did. It is possible that Mr. Chamberlain had self ish interests, that those interests were placec ahead of the interests of Great Britain. But ii this day as the struggle thunders to new devas tation and horror, it Is goodlo know that Feaci was given consideration, that millions weri not made to suffer without first trying to savi them that suffering. No man is justified in doing evil on the groum of expediency.?Theodore Roosevelt. A Record of Progreta The election is over and an unbiased value can be placed on the work of the Democratic administration in Washington during the past seven years. Turning to the agricultural sit uation one may not be in perfect agreement with its methods, but the record clearly proves that agriculture has progressed, that despite the alleged handicaps the condition of the far mer and his soil is much improved today as compared to the 1932 plight. The following highlights make interesting as well as informative reading: Income: Farmers Make More Money?1939 cash income up 148 per cent from 1932; buying power 231 per cent of 1932; farm real estate values in 1940 up 60 per cent from 1933; 2, 013 acres of 1940 wheat protected by crop in surance; $78,366,676 loaned by Farm Credit Administration agencies from 1933 to 1939; debts of low-income farmers reduced $970,707 under Farm Security Administration debt ad justment service; 31,102,000 pounds of surplus foodstuffs distributed to needy in last fiscal year Conservation: Farmers Are Conserving Their Soil?228,400 North Carolina farmers participat ed in the 1939 AAA program, representing about 67 per cent of the State's crop land; 969,113 acres covered by five-ye*t^kgreements with the Soil Conservation Service Sin 1939; 1,175,800 trees distributed for planting during 1939. Security; Farmers Are More Secure in Their Homes?15,824 farm families received rural re habilitation loans totalling more than $7,670, 000 from 1935 to 1940; $461,730 made in grants in the same period; 419 tenant families started toward ownership by loans for farm purchases; 4,918 miles of rural electric lines to serve 20, 878 farm families made possible by allotments of Rural Electrification Administration ? 49, 908 more farms getting central station electric service in 1939 as in 1935. Democracy: Farmers Help Run the Programs ?100 county AAA offices with 4,434 county and community committeemen administer the AAA program locally; 99 county committees and 100 tenant purchase committees working on pro gram of Farm Security Administration; 121 local National Farm Loan Associations and 28 Production Credit Associations in operation; eight county land-use planning committees formed. In Able Senator Pannes Key Pittman, able United States Senator and a man who championed the cause of free men, died in a Reno, Nevada, hospital Sunday morn ing. Head of the Committee on Foreign Relations, the Senator hastened his death by long hours of study and work given to his task?that of serving the American people. Surely, a man's greatness is to be recognized when the com mon man on the streets in this far away State comments sorrowfully at his passing. The com mon people here and over the Nation are in debted to him for' the able work performed during the past eighteen years and specially during recent months. ('.am /Htiffninn Hardly before the votes were in and count ed in the last election, word from the Republi can camp warned the country of another elec tion four years hence. Could it be that Nation al Unity will be expressed between political maneuvers during the next four years? If the Republicans start campaigning now, the Democrats will do well it tbey can Keep peace at home, not to mention peace for the world. Wo Hitler Peace N?w> and Observer. There are persistent reports, apparently au thentic, that Adolf Hitler will make new ef forts to secure peace with Great Britain, pos sibly asking the United States government to act as intermediary. The whole world desires peace. The United States is determined that if at all possible there will be peace insofar as this country is con cerned. The United States would, naturally, re gard a lasting peace betwen the present war ring nations as the best guarantee of future peace for itself. But the government of the United States, the people of the United States, and public opin ion throughout the world will reject any peace on terms proposed by Adolf Hitler. Any such peace would have no more value than the value which could be attached to Hitler's promise to abide peace terms. The world has no faith in Hitler's good faith and would have no faith in any promise made by him. For that simple reason any peace terms pro posed by Hitler will be rejected. There can be no lasting peace which is dependent upon the good faith of the man who broke previous sol emn agreements, and thereby brought to the world the catastrophe of the present war. Moreover, the mere fact that Hitler offers peace terms would be regarded widely as pri ma facie evidence that Hitler has lost faith in his own power?or wishes to recuperate in or der to make a fresh start. The United States will not only seek peace for itself. It will, whenever practicable, seek it for the world. But, the United States will not ask Great Britain to place reliance in any prom ise which Hitler may make. The memory of past promises is too fresh. ?avou tev/oT i see ButLOOK WHOILM , vS 100*1*1 rtr?i I*r Wife Slain by Bomb Ilia wife killed when a German bomb scored a direct hit on his Lon don church, an English vicar is pic tured removing the holy chalice and other sacred articles, sheltering them with a steel helmet. Explains Meanings Of Warning Signs P P Pointing out that tons of thousands of North Carolina motorists do not know the meaning of the various | types of warning signs which the State places alongside the highways, Ronald Hocutt, director of the High way Safety Division, this week ex plained the meanings of the more common types of warning signs en countered by drivers. Th? three types of signs seen most frequently, Hocutt said, are (liamond ?nal or eight-sided signs, all with black lettering on a yellow back ground. Diamond signs mean reduce speed These signs are used where perma nent physical dangers always re quire a reduction of speed for safe ty, Hocutt said. Such signs may des ignate curves, dangerous intersec tions, sudden dips in the road, or narrow bridges. Square signs mean caution, the safety director explained These sign? are used to draw your atten tion to road conditions requiring you to drive with extreme care. For ex ample, men working in the road way, school zones or other places on the highway that require more than ordinary care on the part of drivers are marked by square-shaped signs. Octagonal or eight-sided signs mean stop, Hocutt emphasized These signs are generally found near dan- I gcrous intersections and junctions. I ? A stop sign means that you must | bring your car to a complete halt," | Hocutt said. "Slowing down is not j enough. And after stopping you should use great care in entering the main road." Then, of course, there are round signs, which mean, railrogd crossings Hound signs always mean stop, look and listen. Even at crossings where the law does not require you to stop, good sense suggests that you stop, Hocutt asserted. "North Carolina's accident rate could be reduced materially," he add ed, "if every driver in this state un derstood and heeded every highway sign erected by the State. Motorists must learn that diamond signs mean reduce speed, square signs mean caution, and octagonal signs mean stop. And the sooner they learn this, the safer they will be."
