GIVE 'EM TO THE GENERAL!
Gen. George C. Marshall, chief
of staff, and the high command of
the army, are to be congratulated on
the fact that they have no thought
of capitalizing on "the dilemma of
this tragic world situation as an op
portunity to aggrandize the army."
Nevertheless, the general wants
nine small, streamlined divisions of
8,500 men, each in readiness for
whatever purpose they may be re
quired in the Western Hemisphere.
The general should get his nine
divisions, with arms, equipment and
accessories that will make them the
best divisions in the world.
FACING WORLD FACTS
The message of the President to
Congress, asking for nearly $1,200,
000,000 in cash and authorizations to
hasten the strengthening of our na
tional defense indicates the serious
view that Mr. Roosevelt takes of
world affairs.
The prompt indication that Con
gress will speedily give approval to
his suggestions reflects the growing
understanding of the implications
a German victory will carry for this
country.
While isolationists will continue to
heckle the program and attempt to
delay the execution of the plans it
is safe to say that, at last, the vast
majority of our citizens is cognizant
of the threat that Hitlerism throws
at civilization as we understand it.
OUR GOLD WORTH HAVING
The monetary gold stock of the
United States has crossed the $19,
000,000,000-level and the experts are
already beginning to worry about
what will happen to this huge hoarde
if the totalitarian states reform the
saving economy of the world.
Bankers and economists in this
country lave expressed the
opinion that the gold standard can
not operate if Germany and her al
alliee win the war ami dominate the
future economic set-up of the world.
Their system of trading involving
barter and controlled swapping, tends
to eliminate the necessity of anoth
er medium of exchange.
While it is within the realm of pos
sibility, in the event of a German
victory, that gold will lose some of
its importance in international trade,
the disability will be temporary. In
fact, we do not think that the United
States need worry very much about
having worthless gold stock on hand.
We might worry about the possibility
of losing our gold stock if this na
tion is ever attacked by a coalition
of powers, such as Germany, Italy
and Japan, after the totalitarian
states have conquered Europe.
NINE THOUSAND ARE
NEEDED FOR MARINES
Write or apply in Person to U.
? S. Marine station, Postoffice Build
. ing, Raleigh.
The officer in charge of the U. S.
Marine Corps recruiting headquart
ers for North Carolina, with offices
located in the post offi<? building at
Raleigh, announcg that the Marine
corps has been authorized' an in
crease of 9,000 in personnel, by Con
gress, bringing the total authorized
strength from 25,000 to 34,000, and
also that a new permanent recruiting
station will be opened at the post
office building in Winston-Salem on
the 10th of June. He states that the
9,000 vacancies made by this increase
/ will be filled as rapidly as possible
by young men between 18 and 30
years of age, white, single, of good
moral character and of sound phy
sique. % Men with previous service
will be acrepted 19 to 35 years of
?ge
A splendid opportunity for ad
I anvancemeat awaits those who co
list in the Marine Corps now, as
thousands of promotions will be
I . made on this increase. An unlimit
ed number of technical jobs will be
made available, sad technical train
ing in many fields will be given to
hundreds of young men who would,
in civilian life, find it difficult or
imptSnible to obtain a comparable
spaefelisad training. -

PEPPER HAS TOE IDEA!
.11 ? ?
Senator Pepper, of Florida, seems
to have a good idea. Be would have
this country deliver immediately to
Great Britain and Fiance all avail
able ttii-planrn
As we have said before, the atti
tude that one takes to this proposi
tion depends upon-whether one be
livee that war between the United
States and Germany is inevitable if
Hitler wins the present war.
Those who join CM. Lindbergh in
thinking that there is no difference
between the contending forces in
Europe and that regardless of the
outcome of the struggle we will be
she to enjoy peacefully our democ
racy and possessions, naturally Bunk
Mr. Pepper has lost his reason.
Because we believe that failure to
furnish the Allies with assistance
now will increase the likelihood that
we will have to oppose Hitler later
with many of our young men, we
think Mr. Pepper has a good idea.
We would furnish the supplies and
let other people provide the soldiers.
DEFENDING THE U. S.
IN EUROPE
The best defense of the peace of
this nation, and the surest way to
safeguard our future, is to encom
pass the absolute defeat of Germany.
This will be easiest -while there are
other strong nations engaged in the
battle.
If we want to protect the young
men of the United States from the
horrors of modern warfare it is wise,
now, to give unlimited assistance to
the Allied cause.
If we want to develop our civiliza
tion normally, without having to sub
ordinate liberty and life iteelf to the
national defence, we should prompt
ly dispatch equipment, arms, muni
tions and airplanes to the aid of the
hard-pressed democracies.
The battle on the fields of Fland
ers and. Northern France may not
be essentially "our fight" but it may
determine the course of the war now
raging and the outlome of the war
will shape the course of the United
States for many years to come and
mean life or death to thousands of
young Americans.
State Joins , Nation
For Dairy Promotion
North Carolina will join hands
with other states in June to observe
Nationa Dairy Month, says John A.
Arey, extension dairyman of N. C.
State College.
Twenty local committees have been
namd to promote the consumption of
Milk in their respective sections.
These commiittees will work with
hotels, cafes, drug stores, and lead
ing food distributing agencies to
bring milk and other dairy products
to the public's attention.
"North Carolina could well afford
to take an active part in National
Dairy Month," Arey said, "since it
ranks far down the list in the per
capita consumption of milk. At the
the present time, the average Tar
Heel drinks only four-tenths of a
pint of milk daily. Along with this
a correspondingly low consumption
of butter and cheese."
Governor Clyde R. Hoey and a
number of North Carolina mayors
have already placed their full en
dorsement on the purposes and aims
of National Dairy Month.
The 1939 farm valfe of dairy
production in this State, including
those products consumed on the
farm, was $32,000,000. Arey point
ed out that if the consumption of
milk were increased from the pres
ent available supply of 400 pounds,
in which are included all dairy pro
ducts, to 800 pounds, the national
average, the present income from
this source to North Carolina farm
ers would be doubled.
