Japanese Bleeding Conquered People To Carry On ^ ar (Continued from page one) in shutting off our trade with Man churia and other areas in the Far East. But as long as the Japanese government continued to make pur chases from us America seemed sat isfied. However, her purchases were military supplies, later to be used against us. Missionaries and others pleaded with our Government and the American people not to sell this scrap iron, gasoline, oil, and numer ous other war materials to Japan. Our selfishness and shortsightedness have now been rewarded in a reali zation that we were sowing to the wind. So while Japan was not allowing people in territories occupied by her to purchase from us. we were all the while buying from her millions of dollars worth of raw silk, silks, cer eals and anything else she wanted to sell us. Much of what she sold us was stolen from people she had sub jugated -Those purchases connr right on up to the very last. In this way Japan was able to build up and continue a credit in thiSTcountry such as made it possible for her to pur chase war supplies with the cash (credit) which we made possible by the purchases from her. But. on the other hand, her people and the sub jugated people were not allowed to send any money to America for pur chases here Japan used all this in a remarkable way to her advantage and against us The second means by which Ja pan has been able to carry on so well has been by the bleeding of all peo ple under her control. 1. A well-known American states man acquainted with affairs in the Far East was right when he stated that the condition of people ruled by Japan is always worsened. One needs only to become acquainted with the plight of the Koreans and the Formosans to understand the truth of this statement. Not only have the resources of these countries Been taken by the Japanese govern ment. but her people have exploit ed the civilians cleverly and thor oughly. 2. Manchuria was regarded as Chi na's Promised Land, because not on ly had more than thirty million Chi nese already gone there, but millions ol others were 10 nave gone. These three eastern provinces, which Ja pan has now made into eleven, con stitute the most fertile, richest, un developed area in the Far East Much of the country is underlaid with coal and iron There is much gold and other minerals. Great forests are found there, such as exist nowhere else in the eastern world Japan has taken over all these resources, and i is developing them rapidly to her j advantage Everything in Manchuria that brings in money is now in the hands of the Japanese government or the civilians who have moved in since the occupation. They enjoy more freedom in Manchuria than Japan, while the Manchurians, de prived of all firearms, are at the mercy of their conquerors. These ex ploit them to the limit 3 We may be sure that Japan and the Japanese are taking from other acquired areas of China every bit of the wealth and resources of the coun try. 4. The valuable resources of Indo China and the Netherlands East In dies will immediately be used and developed in such a way as will in crease vastly the wealth and power of Japan. 5 No other people would stoop to such unscrupulous, ruthless, cruel methods as used by Japan and the Japanese. For years she systemati-1 cally encoyragecj civil wars and oth er upheavals in China, fostered ban- . ditry in Manchuria, and encouraged her nationals in the nefarious nar j cotic traffic carried on so success- j fully by them under protection of the Japanese government. 6. The Japanese have a genius for such things. They are exceedingly clever along these lines, having a form of nationalism and selfishness. not found among any other people, j During our residence in Manchuria | we saw many evidences of this, and 1 were made to marvel, but shudder, | because of their great cleverness and j ability along these lines. 7. The immediate robbery and ruination of the wealthy is enough j to bring to tears and great indigna- j tion all who have a sense of justice.

This involves train ing the greatest possible number of our present staff in the rationing pro grams already underway so that they will be familiar with all prob lems involved. Thus they may be quickly shifted to a new rationing program." should read "Secret Agent of Japan" by Vesper Here one sees how thor oughly the Russians of Manchuria were mistreated, robbed, and ruin ed. We know personally much that is given in this book. Now that Japan possesses practi cally all the richest portions of the Far East, she needs no credits of any kind elsewhere. She has such an innate ability to exploit, bleed and use her acquired resources as causes many of us to shudder be cause of the coming menace to Am erica and the rest of the world un less she is defeated before she is able to use all this against us.

The 35th Week Of The War (Continued from pa?e one) pieces of vitally needed construction equipment into use. A complete in ventory of available equipment will be kept up to date at the regional of fices for the information of war agencies and private contractors en gaged in war work. The War Front The Navy announced "United States naval and other forces have attacked enemy installations in the Southeast part of the Solomon Is lands in force and the attacks are continuing" Later the Navy said, "considerable enemy resistance has been encountered and it is still too early to announce results or to es timate either our own or enemy losses." Gen. MacArthur's headquar ters in Australia reported August 10 that allied planes from Australia TTTtt?maintaining?a?34 hfHir.n-riay offensive over the entire invasion zone in support of the attack against the Solomon Islands The Navy also reported U. S Naval forces "bom barded enemy ships and shore es tablishments at Kiska" in the Aleu tians, simultaneously wth the begin ning of the attaek on the Solomon Islands. Maj. Gen. Clark, Commanding General of U. S. ground forces in Britain, said the U. S. Army is send ing "picked combat divisions" to Britain and "the sooner a second front could be opened the better." He said "obviously we are not here to sit on the defensive." The Pacific Coast, from the Canadian to the Mexican borders, was ordered dim med out beginning August 20 and for the duration by Western Defense .Commander DeWitt as a precaution against enemy attack at sea and on I the shore. The Navy announced the torpedoing of 14 additional United Nations vessels. Sabotage and Subversive Activities The White House announced six of the eight Nazi saboteurs landed in this country by submarine were ex ecuted in the District of Columbia jail August 8th. The sentences of the other two were commuted by ine President to life and to 30 years im prisonment, "because of their assist ance to the Government of the Unit ed States in the apprehension and conviction of the others." The first ground Air Support Command in New York City announced the dis covery by Army fliers of mgenious ly contrived markers, aimed directly at eastern airfields and airplane fac tories. The markers, invisible from the ground, were eradicated and the danger to the war bases averted, the announcement said "proper action" was taken against the persons who built the markers. Transportation The WPB approved the proposal of Henry J Kaiser, shipbuilder, to con struct 500 70-ton cargo-carrying planes, patterned after the flying boat "Mars" built for the Navy. The program is contingent, however, "upon our being able to do it with out interfering with the present combat plane program." WPB Chair man Nelson said. Army Air Forces Commander Arnold said at present 21 per cent of all army Air Forces multiengined plane production is being devoted to transport planes, and the program calls for this pro portion to be raised to 30 per cent j in 1943. The Office of Defense Transporta tion said approximately 4.000,000 school children who ride daily in 93.000 school buses will be affect ed by ODT's order to reorganize all school bus services. The plan calls for staggered bus schedules and denies special bus service for stu dents, A^ho have less than two miles to walk to and from school (with certain exceptions) and where areas are services by public carrier routes. Rationing I ~ President Roosevelt set up n three man committee, headed by Bernard M Baruch. to study the entire syn thetic rubber program. The Presi dent said the committee's finding will "form a basis for future action not only with respect to synthetic rubber, but also such matters as na tionwide gas rationing and motor transportation." The OPA said it is planning a universal ration book to be put into the hands of every Am erican, as part of its machinery to handle rationing of many commodi ties which do not require rationing at present. The office said traveling salesmen will not be permitted more I ban a B ration book in addition to I their A books. Farm Labor Supply Agriculture Secretary Wickard announced the Farm Security Ad ministration and the U. S. Employ ment Service will recruit additional workers for farmers in areas where there are seasonal shortage of labor. I The workers will be recruited only after the farmer and the employ ment service have been unable to ob Itain workers locally. The workers | must be paid the prevailing wage, to be determined by the Farm Se curity Administration, but in no case less than 30 cents an hour. If the workers come from a dis tance, farmers must pay transpor tation costs up to 200 miles and the FSA will pay for additional mile age. The workers must be properly housed and work guaranteed for at lpast three-fourths of the time they are in the area Hie OWI reported an arrangement has been concluded between the U. S. and Mexico making possible tem porary migration of Mexican farm workers into this country to help combat the seasonal farm labor shortage, especially in tha South Army The Army announced formation of two completely airborne divisions, consisting of about 8,000 men each, to be stationed initially at Camp' Claiborne, La.

A Nazi column swinging south eastward along the Rostov-Baku railway rolled through Russian's positions in the Cherkes6k area to reach Mineralnye. By road, Gronzy lies approximately 180 miles farth er. Later reports state that Russia, heartened by the news from the Solomon Islands, is staging a strong er fight in the Caucasus and in the Voronezh sector, and holding firm before Stalingrad. It was also re ported that while the Germans grad ually forge ahead in the Caucasus, the Russians are closing a trap around a sizable Nazi force in a sec tor of the Don. ? Lindsley Named Zone President K P Lindsley, civic leader and ac tive member in the Williamsttan Lions Club for several years, was named zone president at p meeting of the organization bald here last evening. He is to mike impromptu visits to the several clubs in a num ber of northeastern North Carolina counties. Reporting little success in their campaign supporting the scrap iron collection, members of the club here are calling upon their sons to begin a house-to-house canvass for the col lection of small amounts of scrap. The boys making the best record will be rewarded. More Autos Going Off The Highways ??? A suable reduction in the number of autos operating in the eastern gas oline ration area is indicated by first reports on the number of basic A ration books issued, the OPA an nounced July 28th. Reports from 5 of the 17 ration area states indicate that the number of basic A books issued for the per manent rationing system is about 10 per cent less than the number of ra tion cards of all kinds in the tem porary plan. This reduction is due partly to the fact that some cars that obtained cards in the temporary system do not use A books under the new plan; but it is apparent that thousands of mo torists have stored or scrapped their cars and taken to walking or other forms of transportation, the OPA said. ??1 Youthful County Prisoner Escapes From Road Camp Ann Wallace, youthful white boy who was sentenced to prison for sev eral years for the alleged robbery of the Woolard Hardware Company store here some time ago, was one of seventeen prisoners who escaped from a Northampton road camp early yesterday morning. Seven of the prisoners have been recaptured and three others have been located. It could not be learned immediate ly if young Wallace was in the Ut ter group. Miss Dorothy Perkinson, of Bal timore, is visiting Miss Ruth Roe buck here this week. Thirteen Colored Schools in County Opened Yesterday (Continued from page one) before September. Unlike the problem facing them in filling positions made vacant in the white schools by the draft and resignations, the officials have more applicants for positions in the color ed schools than there are jobs to go around. No resignations have been reported in the colored schools. A few teachers were dismissed, one teacher retired and one or two may not be able to return on account of ill health. It is apparent that the colored teachers recognize the bene fits of their profession and are not recognizing tempting offers coming from defense industries and other positions. Most of the colored male teachers are married and the draft hasn't gotten around to them as yet. Only one faculty member has been called Intn the service from the county to date. Those colored schools in the coun ty not opening yesterday will start the term along with the white schools on Thursday, September 3. Getting Along All Right In Britain No one knows how many there are and a great many details are not to I be had. but apparently Martin Coun-1 ty soldiers are getting along well ov-1 er in Britain these days. Indirect re ports indicate that there are a num-| ber of young men from this county ' soldiering somewhere in Britain. In a cablegram to his mother, Mrs I S. C Griffin, here this week, Irving Griffin stated that he was feeling fine and that everything was "okay." That letters are valued by members of the armed forces was brought out by the young man in his cablegram when he asked that letters be sent to him by airmail. The cable was sent under a Great Britain dateline and no city was mentioned. FOB QUICK, QUALITY OBT cleaning service, bring your clothe to Pittman's. One day service on any garment.

(Robenonville Herald) Driving into town from hi? coun try plantation Sunday afternoon, Lee House said just as he approached the W. M. Scales Tobacco Company re drying plant he saw the coal pile rise up and take the form of a hu man. As he got closer, and by look ing over and under his glasses, he detected that it was a white man at tempting to get out of the coal bin. Even closer observation and the rec ognition of his speech revealed the identity of Mr. Bob Smith. According to relatives of Mr. Smith, he had been practicing riding his bicycle on Grimes Street, and at the intersection of Grimes Street and Second Street, he usually made the turn and reversed his direction with out getting off the wheel. Sensing danger when he saw a car approach ing Mr. Smith lost control of his bi cycle and according to a sworn state men hv lef House he landed in the coal bin. ?
