President Roosevelt's speech in Canada, two weeks ago, is gmeriUy interpreted in Europe as a warning toth^ totalitarian States that this country, while not ready to fight with the Ibitiah and the French, has no intention of aiding the dictators, and that, if drawn into a struggle, the people ef the United States will be on the side of the democratic powers. ? ? ' ? ? ' Taken in conjunction with the earlier radio address of Secretary Hull, which outlined the principles for which this country stands, the address was received as an aid to pre venting drastic action by Germany at this time. The situation in- Eu rope, in the eyes of many observers, is extremely tense and anything that tends to relieve the pressure is a step toward peace, Let'* Forget It, v There are many people in this country who are not interested In any viewB about foreign affairs. They . prefer to forget the whole, interna tional situation and believe that what happens in the rest of the world is no concern of Ours. They forget, it seems, that lack of foreign markets is the cause of our agricultural prob* lams and that upon our foreign trade depends the standard of living of the people of the United States, ? . Certainly, the writer-does not want ? the United States to become em- ? broiled in a continental war'in Eu-1 rope or to send American-soldiers to' foreign lands again. If possible, we I would like to see peace maintained, ( However, and the the point is im*j portant, peace cannot be maintained' by being so afraid of war that, as a! nation, we must shut our eye* to, everything that happens and abah- J don all the riglits that belong to us under international law, a ?iu. - Vu. : i A VUM ? ?W? | The mere fact that the United States is spending more than a bil lion dollars on its army and navy indicates that, despite our peaceful j intention, we must take cognizance of world affairs. The richest ftation in the world, in natural resources, there are those in positions of power today who would not hesitate to at tack this country if they thought they could get away with it, To be unprepared is to become another China and, sooner on-later, to have to fight against overwhelming odds. The measure of our national de fense is not our intentions but the attitudes and alliances that exist j among other powers. No one can bUnfc the fact that Italy, Germany! and Japan are uairsg war as an in strument of national policy, that: they are aggressively seeking to: enlarge their spheres of influence; and that, up to date, they have not hesitated to violate most of the ac- J cepted conventions of war and peace ful civilisation. ???

The reinforced armies of France and Germany, their exact strengths close ly guarded secrets, stood watch over the border sopes tonight, waiting the outcome of the Czechoslovakia crisis. ; The German policy of "protection" of the Sudeten German minority fA Czechoslovakia, and France's pledge to fight for the Czech and Slovak republic if 'it is invaded, led the two nations to take military measures unparalleled in recent years, The French e7en went so far as to mine a number of rafyoad and high" way bridges along their frontier zone, This precaution caused loud laugh ter from the Germans talking to Frenchmen from behind.the high wire barricade which mark the frontier at Roabruck hbar Forbaoh, "We hare no intention of attack ing France," a husky German cus toms guard at RosbrocVsaid. "But we are taking; plenty of; defensive precautions," German troops garrisoned in the new Siegfried Line apparently were engaged in maneuvers around their hew positions, At Stiring-Wendel frontier station several rounds of > machine-gun fire and occasional rifle shots could be heard in the hills above Saarbrucfcen, One of the moat striking things in the Maginot *one is the few troops that are seen moving along the roads. The normal garrison of the lone is generally given at about 100,000 men, bat officers in the sons said they thought 260,000 wottyd be a "conservative" estimate of the gar rison's present strength. In traveling along the strongest part of the fortified line, however, the biggest group of soldiers I saw marching in uniform was less than one hundred, But the barracks are filled to ca pacity and the underground forts were said by officers tif have all the troops they could accommodate. Troop trains brought thousands of reservists up to the line but .dropped them off at tiny hamlets where they disappeared underground. Whole truck trains of supplies moved up. But with the real fortifications nf the Maginot Line several miles from the border the only French soMiert Germans could see were a few. sen tries around the little cement ? pill boxes along the Rhine, at Strasbourg and in the Moselle Valley. The only German soldiers french men could see were the few stationed at the new blockhouse beside each road leading into Germany. All the German and French fron tier populations knew tire armies were there, however. Newspapers were having boom Bales on the French side. While on the German side the prices for smug gled French and British papers have trippled in the last few days.

The-many efforts put forth by everyone connected with the market to live up to the established reputa tion for service and satisfaction have brought about the ,, desired results. Farm ville makes new friends dally and never loses an old one beeauss <rf ; ?s. friendliness and willingness to be of any service on the part of tboae with whom the fanners have to deal, rhese efforts have meant even more to the growers in the way of dollars and cents. Every warehouseman, to be satisfied, must know that his cus tomer is satisfied. That is why the top doRar seems to be a standard part of every sale on the market. Several farmers have averaged well over thirty cents for their crops, and prices over forty dollars per hun dred were common Thursday. These high averages, though not designat ing a date to sell, certainly tell you where to sell. Grade for gride, Farir ville has led and will continue to lead other markets. Large enough to offer every facil ity.- demanded of an outstanding to- - - bacco market, Fsrmville is alas frntiH enough to be personally interested in your sales.
