G, un der act of March Srd, 1878. I ? CHINA FOR DEMOCRACY From Chungking', China, capital of the government resisting Japanese aggression, conies word from Gen. Chiang Kai-shek, via Randall Gould, in the Christian Science Monitor, that "China has cast its lot irretrievably with the democracies." The Chinese leader, recalling that his nation "has had nothing but a record of unbroken warm sincere friendship" with the United States, expresses the view that "we feel fully satisfied with what America has done." That "the turn of international events has been most satisfactory to . China" and that "China feels that America is the great leader of the whole world in the cause of freedom," are other interesting assertions from China's great military leader. General Chiang says that, after war is over, a Parliament will" be con voked, elections held and a "wholly democratic system" introduced- into China. He thought that there would be "many parties, not one," because this "seems clearly indicated by the democratic procedure of America and similar democracies." BRAZIL AND THE U. S. The government of Brazil main- i tains a department of Press and Publicity and it is interesting to note that the director has warned news paper publishers in Brazil that con troversies regarding relations be tween Great Britain and Brazil must not be used as a pretext for attacks upon the United States. Some bad feeling exists between Brazil and Great Britain on account1 of action taken by the latter to hold up the delivery of certain war sup plies purchased from Germany be fore the European war began. The pro-Nazi press used the incident to attack the United States, asserting that President Roosevelt could, but wouldn't force, the British to release the cargo. Most editorial writers in Brazil, it is stated, say that the controversy affords no grounds for attacks upon the United States, contending that any attack against the United States or President Roosevelt is an attack against Brazil. They cite numerous examples of the traditional friend ship between Brazil and this country, which one newspaper says has be come deeper rooted because of Presi dent Roosevelt.

LUCIA The United States will establish a land plane base an the Island of St. Lucia, in addition to the naval base already arranged for. Situated twenty miles south of Martinique, the bases are expected to give the United States domination of the en tire area in the event that an Axis victory encourages German ambitions in Martinique. AIR SHOW The air show that preceded the in auguration parade revealed flying fortresses, smaller bombers, fighters and naval planes numbering around 250 ships. The squadrons made quite an exhibition as they circled the Capi-1 tol in perfect formation. DEFENSE The RFC has made commitments of more than a billion dollars to fi nance the purchase of reserves of strategic materials, the construction of defense plants and the manufac ture of equipment, according to Jesse Jones Federal loan administrator. PLANES In December 799 military planes were produced in this country, ac cording to John D. Biggers, director of production of OPM. The figure was not broken down into combat planes and training units, nor was the size of the units revealed. WORKERS Non-agricultural workers increas ed from 83,862,000 in 1939 to 35,533,-! i 000 in December, 1940. URBAN-RURAL About 56.5 per cent of the 131, 669,275 inhabitants of the United States live in city areas, according to the Census Bureau, which points cut that the rural population is grow ing almost as fast as the urban. NEGRO UNITS ' In line with the policy of creating negro units in every branch of the service, the War Department an nounces that an all-negro purcuit squadron, consisting of 33 pilots and a ground crew of 400 men, all colored, will be trained at Tuskegee, Ala. MIDSHIPMEN The annua.' midshipman class at Annapolis would be increased by 595 under a bill introduced in Congress and expected to pass. At present the Navy has 5,385 midshipmen in ninety day training at Northwestern Uni versity, Annapolis and old battleship Illinois. CARGO SHIPS The President's request for $350, 000,000 to build at least 200 steel cargo ships will probably go through Congress without delay. The meas ure will also provide for new ship yards. - * NAVY The House Naval Affairs Commit tee has unanimously approved bills providing $1,209,000,000 for the con struction of 400 vessels for the Navy, expansion of shipyards to push construction: of the two-ocean fleet, doubling ordnance facilities and equipping the existing fleet with lat est anti-aircraft equipment. OBSERVERS In -order to keep up with develop ments in naval warfare the Navy now has five odservers with the British fleet in the Mediterranean. Data gathered will be of great value in planning our own naval program. ARMY . V An American army of 1,418,097 men will be in camp by June 1st, fully housed, with all personal equipment and with basic weapons for gaining purposes, according: to Under-Secre tary of War Robert P. Patterson. ? INCOME TAX Income tax blanks have been dis tributed to 15,000,000 Americans and 3,500,000 corporations. Midnight, March 15, is the deadline for filing reports. Due to the defense revenue aot, which reduced exemptions to 3300 for single persons and to 33,000 for married persons, it is expected that the number of returns will double. UPHELD The Supreme Court has upheld the right of Federal District courts to re quire persons to undergo physical ex aminations when their physical con dition is at issue. The Court ruled that refusal to undergo an examina tion would not constitute contempt of court but that the court could ren der a default judgment or take other ' action. pLasma The Red Cross is planning a na tional defense blood plasma reservoir to be placed at the disposal of the Army and Navy. The plan will be initiated in New York where the local chapter has gained considerable ex perience in connection with a similar project for Great Britain, which has I now been suspended because the Brit ihs have a plan to meet their needs. ? f WALSTONBURG NEWS Mrs. G.

THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH The Senior class of the Walston burg High School presented ''The Tragedy of Macbeth" in Chapel on Friday morning; directed by Miss I Davis. ? ' The setting was on a dessert dur ing a storm. All at once, as if com ing out of the fog, three skinny cp? tures with long straight hair hang ing about their shoulders awl facet began to circle about the stage, their short staccato sentences being in rude harmony with their gypsy dance. As the third witch mentions Macfteths name, the witches disap pear, dissolving again into the fog. The next scene depicted an army camp in Scotland. King Duncan is waiting for pews from the battle field, since Norway is fighting his country. A - wounded soldier is brought is and reports that Macbeth had won the battle. Lady Macbeth's greatest desire was to beobme queen of Scotland. She plots to kill King Duncan, and tells her husband of her plan. Mac beth does not fall in with her plan at first, but after much persuasion from her, he agrees to do the treach erous deed with her help. The king was killed and the guilt was placed on the guards. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth sit upon the throne with apparent pleas ure. The people dislike them. The servants of the household suspicion Macbeth and Lady Macbeth by their constant unrest Lady Macbeth, as a result of her bad, muderou8 life is pronounced in sane by her doctor. Macbeth is kill ed in a duel by Macduff. Thus we see now one bad deed can cause us to grow worse and worse from day to day, resulting in the deaths of many people, and finally the death of oureelf. ON SCHEDULE Wilmington, Jan. 29.,? Work on Camp Davis is "progressing very satisfactorily and right on schedule," Lieut.-Col. Albertis Montgomery said today. 1 Colonel Montgomery, construc tion quartermaster on the huge anti aircraft firing center at Holly Ridge, said that certain construction delays occasioned by unfavorable weather have been largely overcome in the past few days, and that somewhat ahead of schedule. It was learned today that the num ber of men employed on the reserva tion has been increased to approxi mately 13,000, some 6,000 more than were employed there last week. This figure represents about the peak number of civilians to' be employed it was learned. " . In other years parents instructed their children. Now the situation is reversed. - .
