This may mean little or Dotting to the M-?!? American who takes bin ease in a easoal way, bat it American inter-1 eats are to be protected, it is neces sary for us to sense the' significance of individual links in a chain of events which amy greatly modify the I world in which we live. I There waa a day when most Americans visualized the defense of this country as a job that began on I the coasts of the United States. Foreign affairs were vary uninter esting and many of our people opn- j I sidered them aa of no importance. Nowadays, however, especially since I the loss of the foreign maxnets for I wheat and cotton have driven home the inter-dependence of the world, I our people are beginning to perceive I the importance of commercial rights and, trading interests throughout the world. The American people should un derstand that there is no similarity between the position taken by 'the I United States in the Western Hem isphere and the policy pursued by I Japan in the Far East The United States has never attempted to pre vent other nations from enjoying full commercial rights in South I America. The Japanese intention, which is becoming plainer every day, I is to establish military control of the Far East and u?e her power to effectively bar the trade of other nations. This will give Japan an economic monopoly^ ? Bnshli^g the Japanese to take advantage of weak er peoples and to prevent other na tions from sharing' the economic re sources of the Far Eastern area. The American Monroe Doctrine tended to protect the territorial in tegrity of the nations of South America, but it did not only carry with it any assertion of exclusive to exploit the Latin-American repub lics. The Japanese policy in the Far East not only attempts to- bar other nations from trading with the area, hot attempts to establish Japanese control over the weaker countries, making them, to all practical extents, a part of the Japanese Empire. Schaub Outlines Needs For Progressive South Before a permanent basic system o? agriculture, flexible enough to take advantage of rapidly changing conditions can be established, the South must overcome undernourish KMBt, soil and human erosion, and an undesirable system of tenancy, behoves Dr. L 0. Schaub, director of the N. C. State Caollege Exten sion Service. . < Speaking before the 42nd annual convention of - the Awociatkm of Southern Agricultural Workers -in Atlanta, Dr. Schaub said Southern farmers must growjnore things to eat as well as more feed for their livestock. In addition, they must bufld their soil to a higher state of productivity. While pointing out apparent seeds is the South, the State College man ~ sharply rapped critics of Southern farming' methods, ssyiqg that "I am convinced that the efficiency of the Southern farmers has kept peetee with the efficiency of farmers in - other a -eat and with people in other occupations." - The South has been in the midst at aa agricultural change for many years, he continued. For this rea-j son, the Suepean mat i? not at tirely to blame for the loss of im portant export markets. tfWT- ---Ji.

The Lease-Lend bill will be en acted into law by Congress without j amendments that will greatly hamp er its purpose.

While the Bouse bill has been amended to make plain that it con-' fers no power upon the President to order convoys for ships carrying supplies to Great Britain, an effort will be made in the Senate to posi tively prohibit the usq. of American warships for audi purposes. It is interesting, however, to relate that Administration supporters contend that the President has such power at this time. ? | Opponents of the bill insist that it gives too much-power to the Presi dent, that it wiB edge "the United States into the- present conflict, and that it will denude the United States of necessary defense weapons. Ad-, vocates of tho ltfeasure insist that the President already has power to lead the country into war, thatthe; world situation demands a concen tration of power in handling our fbretgn affairs and that the delivery of war supplies to Great Britain will "buy" this country sufficient time to prepare itself for any eventadit y. - The suggestion msteaa 01 the Mil, a limited sum of $2,000, 000,000 be granted the British for the purchase of warsupplies is countered by the observation that this would force the United States to finance a- program over which it would aot have complete "control.
