East Carolina Hospital Gets Formal Assurance - * ? Washington, Feb. 1. ? A 300-bed | veterans' hospital for Eastern North Carolina was assured definitely to day when General Frank T. Mines, Veterans Administrator, informed Representative Robert L. Doughton, dean of the Tar Heel delegation, who has acted for all Mouse members in the matter, and Senator Josiah W. Bailey that President Roosevelt formally has approved the allocation! of $1,500,000 for the purpose. General Hines said that the hos pital board of the Veterans' Admin istration will begin at once the study of sites, which will mean that a tug of-war between Eastern North Caro-j line towns also will begin at once. The money for the hospital is con tained in a $4,500,000 lump sum ap portioning the independent offices ap propriation bill which has already passed the House and has been ap proved by the Senate committee. From a Congressional viewpoint, Golds bo ro would seem to have the ad vantage, as it is supported definitely by Representative Barden of that dis trict, who has placed his entire in fluence behind one site, and also is likely to receive support from Rep resentative Warren, whose district is not expected to attempt to secure the hospital because it is located on the edge of the territory to be served. Other strong contenders are Raleigh and Rocky Mount in the Fourth dis trict; Kins ton and Wilson in the sec ond, and Fayetteville and Wilmington in the seventh district. Fayetteville is hopeful of securing the support of the American Legion. The entire delegation has worked hard for the project and has kept the question of sites in the background until now. I Another North Carolina item is expected to go through tomorrow when the House is scheduled to pass . a bill calling for $743,000 to purchase . land in Tennessee to complete the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The Senate passed the bill last year. PROGRESS MADE IN HOME ECONOMICS (By Sallie Wainright) On September 3, 1937 the pupils of Farmville High School began their ! school year 1937-38. Most of the girls were interested in Home Econ omics. However only 64 girls are enrolled in the course. The cottage was in debt. Mr. Moore, the principal, Mrs. Lane, the teacher, and the pupils began work, trying to pay the debt. To do this Mr. Moore called a special meeting of" all Home Economics girls. He urged us to be thinking of ways to make money, in order to pay the . debt. To reach this goal, we began by each member of the department bringing tobacco. We got several hundred pounds and sold it at Monk's Warehouse. It sold-at a high price and we were satisfied with the price, which enabled us to pay the largest part of the debt. In November we had a Silver Tea. About two hundred people were pres- * ent. We were highly complimented on the attractiveness ox uic wiMgc and the way the refreshments were served. In December we made fruit cakes. Some of the fruit cakes were sold at auction at the P.-T. A. meeting. One was bought by the P.-T. A. and pre sented to Mr. Phillips, the speaker of the meeting. Now after four years of hard work the department is out of debt. We do not regret this work, because we have received much in return. We are proud of having the first Home Economicc Cottage. Our next goal, is to make more money in order to improve our cot tage, as well as to add some needed equipment. Mr. Moore, Mrs. Lane, and .the Home Economic students wish to thank every one for their co-opera tion and kindness, in helping us in making the cottage what it is. On January 27,1938, the third year class of the Home Economics cottage elected new officers. They are as follows: President, Helen Allen; Vice-President, Myrtle Andrews; Sec retary, Mary Brodc; treasurer, Vir ginia Cobb; reporter, Sallie Wain right; and housekeeper, Doris Heath.

Sims, Washington Corres pondent.) Prospects for some recovery in the output of industrial products during the next few months are reported by the Bureau of Agricultural Econo mics in its January statement on the demand and price situation for farm products. The Bureau points out, however, that "the fag between changes in industrial activity and con sumer buying power probably will prevent material improvement in the domestic demand.for farm products generally before spring." The Bureau says that the current j business recession has been less wide spread than current comment might indicate, the severe declines having occurred largely in the production of iron and steel, textiles and automo biles. Retail trade and general busi ness activity have held up relatively well, it was stated. The opinion was expressed that if recent levels of consumption were maintained, "surplus stocks soon would be used up and industrial pro duction would expand materially dur ing the next few months. The danger is that the effects of the sharp re cession in the relatively few lines of business activity which already have occurred will be extended rapidly to other lines." The Bureau summed up the situa tion as "a race between the prospec-j tive revival in one group of indus-1 tries, on the one hand, against conta gious declines in other lines of busi-J ness activity which have lagged be hind the general movement of indus trial production since late summer." A sharp increase in volume of ex- [ ports of American farm products in recent months was reported; the sea sonally adjusted index of exports inj November having been the highest in 2 years. A prospective slight decline in the index of prices received by farmers for farm products in Jan uary, compared with December when the Bureau's index was 104 per cent of prewar, also was reported. With consumer incomes contin uing relatively low during the next few months, it now seems probable, the Bureau stated, "that income from farm marketings may be less in each quarter of 1938 than in 1937. While larger crop marketings and govern ment payments will tend to support income in the first quarter of this year, the smaller marketings in meat animals and poultry products in pros pect will be an off-setting influence and may keep incomes somewhat be low the level of the first quarter of 1937. Continued weakness in the consumer demand for meats may pre vent the usual increase in prices associated with smaller marketings.'* 7 . In commenting upon the price sit uation relative to the major farm products, the Bureau said that "Wheat prices during the next few weeks will depend largely on Euro pean buying ... A comparatively stable level of feed grain prices is in prospect ... As a result of the unus ually large rice crops, rice price* have not been much above the low prices of 2 years ago. "It is probable that the seasonal advance in lamb prices will not be nearly so great as in the first four months-of 1937 ... A large part of the downward adjustment in prices of the better grades of slaughter cat* tie, expected for the first half of 1938, apparently took place in November and December, when prices of such cattle experienced one of the sharp est declines on record . . . Some up turn in hog prices appears probable within the next 2 or 3 months . . . The large out-of-storage movement of shell eggs during December in* creases the chances of more favorable egg prices to producers this win ter and next spring." Farmers' cash income from farm marketings in December totaled $675,000,000, it was estimated today by the Bureau of Agricultural econ omies. The December income from farm marketings compares with $713,000,000 in November, and with $72^060,000 in December, 1936. Government payments to fanner* continued small in December totaling $8,000,000 compared-vrith $3,0004)01 in November and $68*600,000 in De cember, 1936. Tbe 'iotal December income from sales of farm product* and Government payments was ree ported by die Bureau as $683,000^ 000 compared with $761,000,000 in December, 1M6. ______ Data for the 12 months on incomi eminent payments to fannere in#* cate a total cash income for 1037 1 of $8,521,000,000. list# receipts from crops (hiring ' the 12 months of 1987 were $3,882, ? 000,00? compared with $8,462,000,000 ? in 1988.

It y marks the end of the policy of iso- j, Lation, regardless of how the fact may t t>e camouflaged and beclouded by ^ statements and"explanations. j One has only to review the position j sf the United States in world af- ^ fairs sine? the end of the World ^ War in 19X8 to understand the trp? mendous liraport of the special de- . fense program about to be under- ' taken by the Government, Many , readers will recall the disarmament inference in 1921-22, which set up a ? naval ration between Great Britain, the United States, Japan, France r and Italy in regard to battleships p and aircraft carriers. The establish- ? sd ratios, five for the United States and Great Birtain, three for Japan and twp for France and Italy seemed a move to definitely limit competition ^ in naval rearmament, ? . * The United States, at that time, J demanded and Great Britain granted, 8 full parity for the navies of the two ? English-speaking nations, This was a concession on the part of the British * tvho had long followed a naval policy of building ships to equal the fleet b of any two powers. v t The United States also made cer- c tain yjtftl concessions. We agreed ^ not tp fortify cprt^in islands in the Pacific, including Guam, and not to strengthen military establishments in c the Philippines, In addition, the " United States, which was in the midst of a naval construction program, 8 agreed to junk millions ol dollars * worth of] warships, including battle ships in advance stages of construe tion. . _ D As an offset to the concessions 8 made by the United States and 8 Great Britain, Japan and the other 8 nations entered into certain obliga tions la resp?ct to the Pacific and Far Past Thosa included solemn ? undertafcinp to raspect the tprritor- J ial integrity gf China, tp maintain b the ''Open Poor" in China, to respect c the right of the Chinese people to * develop without molestation and to J take no advantage of existing condl tions In a trouble Chinese nation for T selfish purposes, ? _____ r on 1 capital ships had no application to cruisers, destroyers and submarines. 8 Naturally, the nations turned to those ? categories that were unrestricted. Therefore, in 1936 a conference was 9 held in London,' at which time, limits c were established for these smaller t vessels, The net result was that un- j armed powers began to build up to ' the treaty limits while the United ? States, and to a lessor extent, Great * Britain, began to build up to the 1 treaty as pasts to establish perms- t nent ratios fee the navies of the world t and to render unnecessary a large e naval program, ? ?i.Lajj in ? o The situation was rudely changed 1 by notice given by Japan, under the 1 terms of the treaty, that upon its ex- 1 piyation, Japan would not renew the. 1 agreement The Japanese insisted 1 upon parity for the Japanese Navy , "in principle," holding out the general i idea that it was an affront to Japan ] Blubs HshHag Meetings During The Week * ? ? - i j ?
