That the expectation is that the Aik ainnaa, k>yai to tfea New Deal pro gram aft the time, will get the place. I* his massage on wages .and boors the President significantly pointed out that "the overwhelming majority of our population earns its daily bread either in agriculture or in industry," teat one-third of our popu lation, the overwhelming majority of winch is in agriculture or industry, is "ill-nourished, ill-dad and ill-hous ed;" that the Congress and the Exe cutive are pledged to "take farther steps to reduce the lag in the purchas ing power of industrial workers and to strengthen and stabilise the Mar kets for the farmers' products;" thai the two undertakings go "hand in hand" and work to open new outlets for productive capital and that legis lation can be passed at this session of the Congress "farther to help those who toil in factory and on the farm." Briefly, the President proposes, as to vrSges and hours, that certain rudimentary standards, which at the start fall short of the ideal, be set up and that Congress use its power to prohibit the admission of goods which do not meet the minimum standards of free labor into the chan nel* of inter-state trade. He would, after due consideration of geographi cal and industrial ? diversities, (1) define a general maximum working week, (2) put some floor below which the wage ought not to fall, (3) rule out the products of the labor of chil dren and also (4) rule out the prod ucts of employers who deny to their workers the right of self-organiza tion and collective bargaining, whe ther thru the fear of labor spies, the bait of company unions or the use of strike breakers. With these mini mum standards as a base he hopes the nation will build up standards of fairness and reasonableness, industry by industry, having due regard to local and geographical diversities and to the effect of unfair labor condi tions upon competition in interstate trade and upon the maintenance of induarial peace. Prolonged headings on these recom mendations are certain. Details may depend upon developments but the basic idea at this time is a forty hour week and forty cents per hour, with provision for seasonal variation. The American Federation of Labor, which has been urgng the thirty hour week, may oppose the limit suggest ed, or even any limit because of the fear that minimum wages might be come maximum wages. Various lo calities will face problems, perhaps, if workers in plants producing inter state "goods" are affected and local laborers left out Because of this the President urged States responsibility for those conditions which can be dealt with without fear of unfair competition from other States. Space does not permit an elaborate discussion of the present world trade outlook but readers should be inter ested in the development of interna tional trade which, in the opinion of Secretary Hull, is the surest way to world peace. The new Maritime com mission is making plans for an ade quate American merchant marine and there is considerble effort being put forth to persuade other nations to accept the Hull reciprocal trade idea. At the Imperial Conference, in Lon don, the British Commonwealth of Nations is to decide whether to enter into closer trading relations with the United States upon the basis of mu tual concessions and advantages. In fact, the general idea is that? the Hull program faces a serious bar-' rier if the British nations insist upon their policy of empire preference to the exclusion of mutual reciprocity. Roughly, the British drive a bargain with another nation, each agreeing to certain commitments, which often operates against the commerce of other nations. The Hull polity has been to generalize all concessions, under the theory that such a loosen r _ THE ANSWERS!

Dudley was formally in stalled as the pastor of the Snow Hill Presbyterian Church. The ser vice was conducted by the Reverend W. D. McGinnis of Washington, N. C., assisted by Reverend Norman Johnson of Rocky Mount, N. C., and Reverend E. C. Lynch of Wilson, N. C. The installation sermon was preached by the Reverend Mr. John son who took as his text, "Oh, that I might find Him (God)". He very clearly taught that God may be found in the following ways: (1) In the un written word of God ,or Nature; (Z) in the written word, the Bible; (8) through prayer; (4) in those who know God; (5) in loving obedience and service to Him. The eharge to the pastor was de livered in a very forceful manner by the Reverend Mr. McGinnis, admon ishing him in the words of Hie psalm ist* "Be still and know". Know God, know thyself, and know thy people' in their needs were the key notes of his message. The charge to the congregation was delivered by the Reverend Mr. Lynch who summed up his message in the following way; Support your pastor, both morally and financially, as a manifestation of your love and confidence in him, Support him through your prayers. Support him through your words of encourage ment, sympathy and lovfe. To sum it up briefly he said, "Pay him up. P?y him up. Talk him up." The culmination of the service was reached as the Reverend Mr. McGin nis, following the ritual of the Pres byterian Church, sealed the relation >f the pastor and congregation by propounding the questions laid down herein. Appropriate hymns were used hroughout the sendee, and as a special number Mr. John G. Barden, accompanied by Mrs. W. B. Murphj at the organ, sang, "The Lord la *3 Shepherd."

(Special Washington Carre spendeat) - Just exactly the status of the nev : farm program in the legislative hall , of Congress seems uncertain; th , President favors it "in principle, i the Secretary of Agriculture hasnol ( as 3^et, undertaken to put it acros and solons suggest that it is as un contsitutional as the invalid AAA. The measure, it seems, has the en dorsement of the American Fair Bureau Federation, which is sponsor ing it before committees, but the Na tional Grange, rival agricultural or ganization, believed to have had J limited part in preparing the prograx [ had not endorsed it when Congres 1 received the measure. Secretary Wallace, it is report? does not wish to appear to b 'dictating" to Congress. While th< new program is based upon his "ever normal" granary plan and was drawi .n conformity with Department 0: Agriculture ideas the Secretary seem co be leaving it to Congress to deter mine what to do with it. The unconstitutionality charge ii met by framers and sponsors witl the expression that, on the basis o: the Supreme Court's decision in th? Wagner Labor Act case, where labo: regulations in the steel and clothing industry "affected" interstate com raerce, the marketing of surplus pro rustion of agricultural products woul< seem, also, to "affect" interstate commerce. Observers are beginning to thinl that the American Farm Bureai Federation and the National Grange will, before long, have a collision ii the agricultural field that will lool like the crash of the A. F. of L. anc the C. I. O. It appears that Edwarc A. O'Neal, president of the former has been an ardent New Dealer. The Grange is regarded as somewhat more conservative. Those who are anxious for agri culture to "get a break" and to re ceive its share of the nation's wealth hope that there will be no undue rivalry between the farm organiza tions, or, for that matter, betweer the growers of various crops and the farmers of different regions. It is known that, in the prelimi nary discussions of the new farnr plan, some Southern representa tives took the position that cottor producers have been discriminat ed against and warned Secretary Wallace that they might not go inte any new program, thus turning to the production of corn and dairy products The Secretary, however, was of th< opinion that the South could more economically produce cotton than anj other crop and he said that the Mid dle West had "nothing to fear" fronr the South in the production of live stock and grain crops. That something will be attempted for agriculture at the present session seems reasonably certain. In his message on wages and hours last week the President linked laborers and farmers together and specifically acknowledged the obligation of the administration to strengthen and stabilize the markets for the farmers' products." This merely confirms his advocacy of a permanent farm relief measure in his opening message to Congress in which he asserted the government's power in respect to crop surpluses. The viewpoint has been repeated since that time. Fear of another drought like that of 1934, has stirred Congressmen from the Great Plains States, where the situation is "extremely critical" according to spokesmen who insist that a drought aid program must be adopted. Weather Bureau officials early last week said lack of water affected the western half of the Great Plains States, the eastern part of the Rocky Mountain States and runs from Canada to Mexico but were hopeful that rains wbuld stave off disaster. Senator Nye, who wants a billion dollar appropriation for relief, says that unless there are early rains the drought will be more serious that in 1934 or 1936. Senator Capper, of Kansas, said farmers, already hit by previous droughts, will need Fed eral relief "more than ever" if this proves to be a year of subnormal moisture.
