Britain Needs Food, Ex
tension Folks Told
"Every boat load of food that the
United States sends to Great Britain
reduces the time that will elapse be
fore the democracies of the world
triumph over Hitlerism," Paul H.
Appleby, under-secretary of agricul
ture in Washington, told the 400 Ex
tension Service workers in convention
at State College in Raleigh this
week.
Appleby was one of the principal
speakers at the conference of all;
county farm and home agents, assist
ant agents, and Extension specialists
and administrative leaders. He gave
a report on his recent trip to Eng
land as a representative of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, upon the
invitation of the British government.
"The United States has been called
upon to feed 25 per cent of the Brit
ish people ? or about 10 million per
sons ? this winter and throughout
1942," Appleby declared. "Food is
extremely short in England, but our
ships are reaching the other side of
t.hp ocean and conditions are constant
ly improving," he continued.
The Government official said that
he lost eight pounds, and hie compan
ion on the trip, R. M. Evans, Nation
all AAA administrator, lost 10
pounds, during the four weeks they
were in England and the two weeks
they spent in Portugal. He said they
each only had one egg to eat in four
weeks, and at no time did they have
miTlc to drink.
Appleby told the Extension work
ers that they have a big job to do
m seeing that the Nation-wide "Food
for Freedom" campaign is successful.
"North Carolina needs to increase
its egg production by 11 per cent,.
and its milk production by 4 per cent,
in 1942," he said, "and you county
farm and home agents, and Extan
~sdon specialists must lead the pro
gram and help farm people to achieve
their-increased production goals.**
IMPROVEMENT
Nearly 6,000,000 fanners working
80" per cent of the total U. S. cropland,
protected and improved their farms
by conservation measures of the 1940
AAA farm program.
Unique race living high in the An
des is described as scientists.
In 1918 wheat headed the list of farm products needed for national
defense purposes. In today's emergency, however, the emphasis is on
foods such as milk and eggs. There is plenty of wheat on hand?in
fact, nearly a two year's supply is stored in the nation's Ever-Normal
Qr*r:ary. The U. S. Department of Agriculture urges that farmers,
la planning for next year, hold down production of surplus crops such
ir -vheat and at the same time expand production of defense foods

in order to recaptare territory taken
from Finland by Russia after Ger
many's attack upon Poland.
This objective, the recapture of
Finnish territory, was undoubtedly
approved by Americans generally,
but, because of the larger implica
tions involved, the United States was,
and is, anxious to conclude hostilities
between Finland and Russia. Conse
quently, in August, the Government
of the United States notified Finland
that the Soviet Union was ready to
discuss peace on the basis of terri
torial compensation to Finland.
Having entered the struggle at the
same time that Germany . attacked
Russia, the impression has gone
abroad that Finland is an ally of
Germany. The Finns deny this and
insist that their war aims are set
but that they cannot, for strtegic
reasons, permit the Russians to know
the limit of their objectives. It 'should
be understood, of course, that any at
tempt on the part of Finland to con
clude its war againsj; Russia will
probably cause Germany to take
drastic action against the'tiny democ
racy. .. I
Whatever the motive that inspired
Russia to attack Finland, the SoViet
Union is paying for its mistake. It
is now anxious to liquidate the Fin
nish situation and if this is impossi
ble, there is the chance that the Finns
will find themselves involved in hos
tilities with Great Britain, a former
and natural friend.
Obviously, so lonjjr as Finland was
engaged in recapturing territory tak
en from her by Russia, there was
justification in Finnish action. Now,'
with this objective largely'attained,
continued Finnish participation makes
the democratic nation an active ally
of Germany and an impediment to
the defeat of Hitler.

TOKYO OPPORTUNIST

Relations -"between the United
States and Japan are to reach a crisis
on November 15th, when .the extra
ordinary session of the Japanese Di^t
assembles, according to reports from
Tokyo.

While the implied warning may
constitute Japanese pressure upon
the United States for concessions in
order to prevent Japan from positive
action, there is much evidence that
the Japanese Government is prepar
ing the people of the Empire for an
inevitable clash in the Pacific.

The Japanese intimate that there
is a time-limit to their p&tiebce and
that the United States must abandon
its objection to Japanese objectives
or face the possibility that Japan will
actively join the Axis group in the
prosecution of war. The Japanese
press does not bite its tongue, insist
ing that the United States must give
up its policy of encirclement and
abandon economic sanctions; against

The United States is pictured as a
nation motivated by a warlike pur
pose and, of course, Japan is (present
ed as the champion of the New Order
which is to include world peace.

Regardless of the absurdity of the
Japanese official position, the people
of the United States should hot un
der-estimete the threat that exists in
the Far East With our Navy divided
between the Atlantic and Pacific
Oceans, and, excepting only battle
ship strength, the Japanese Navy is
numerically stronger than that of
