Auction Sales Open At
Highest Prices Since
The Work! Wair Gen
eral Atmosphere Of
Satisfaction Prevails
I ?
With prices ranging anywhere
I from K) to 14 cents higher than it
I. did last season on the opening. and
I an average of from *27 to *29 each
I day of this week on the FfcrmriBe
I market, satisfaction is being express
I ed by fanners in general and optfe*
I ism reigns throughout the Blight
Leaf Belt, comprmmg the towns of
I FarmviUe, Greenville, Wilson, Kin
I ston, Rocky Mount, Goldsboro, Wash
ington Williamstan, Robersonville,
Smithfield, Ahoakie, Tarboro, Wal
I lace and Wendell, among which are
I to be found the world's largest to
bacco markets.
The warehouses and streets here
ware filled to overfowsng on opening
I day with a crowd of jubilant fanners
and their families, who met the
scarcity of man power on the farms,
occasioned by defense activities, with
an almost superhuman effort during
the ~ blistering heat of the housing
season. And so the advance in price
was gratifying and heartening to
them?
The Georgia-Flordia Belt brought I
prices of *23.06 the first week, *4.711
above last year's levels, and the I
Border Beit has brought an average I
of *28.12, whrih is way ahead of the!
$16.14 record of last season.
The 235,200,000 pounds estimated!
as produced in this Belt for the 19411
season will in all probability bring
the highest juices since the World!
I War. Though not as high in com-1
parison, the offerings are believed to I
be selling 60 per cent highs than I
I last season. Few tags have been I
I turned this week.
The opening break on the Farm-!
ville market was placed at 650,0001
I pounds by Sales Supervisor R. A.I
I Fields, who reported that this mark-1
I et's new sales system, which provides I
I a sale every day for both of the!
I warehouse firms, is operating to the I
? general satisfaction of patrons of I
? thia market, since they are assured I
? a sale every day.
Observers state that the breaks I
I thia week hav been composed of 781
I per cent lugs, the bes$ of which I
? showed an advance of 10 to 12 cents!
I over last year and the choice prim-1
? ings even better in proportion. H
Farmers have hurried home after H
I their sales each day to speed the !
? grading of their weed and tobacco-1
I nists are looking for a large volume!
I of sales during the next week with !
better grades predominating in the
offerings.

U. S. WITHIN ITS RIGHTS
AGGRESSION CHALLENGED
Americana should understand that
the dangehdoes net arise -from any
unneutral act: of this country. The -
United States has A perfect right
under International Law to send sup
plies to Vladivostok for the use -of
the Russian army. When its ships
leave the United. States with war
supplies to the Soviet, the Japanese
have no right to complain, ipuch less
to seize the supplies en route.
.
Nevertheless, to understand the
gravity of the present situation it j
is necessary, to consider the position
in which Japanese expansionints rind
themselves. Their program has been
pushed as lar south . as possible
without inviting actual warfare.
Doubt exists as to whether the Jap
anese are ready to invite hostilities
with Great Britain and the United
States by continuing a southward "
push.
In Toyko, the ry of encirclement is
raised as Western nations get to
gether for the defense of their in
terests in the Far East. This defense
will be greatly strengthcnde if the
dfcgaaese axe' convinced that the
Sovjet is maintaining a Far Eastern

Ispite Japanese objections.
His reply was that, until this pol

that it was in effect
As to whether Japan had made

Ifcissador, Admiral Kiehisaburo No
