The very fact that imtold billions must now be appropriated for military purposes makes it all the mo^ es sential that every penny be spent with meticulous care. The very fact diat we are starting the defense pro gram under the greatest handicap of debt in our history makes it aU the more essential that the ineffic ient, wasteful and non-productive hand of the professional politician be kept out of the public treasury. There are three d^inite “musts” when it comes to financing the arms prc^Eram. First, the tax base must be broadened so that a larger pro portion of our people pay direct tax es. A start has been made in that direction; Second, taxes generally must be increased. And a small start has been made in that direc tion as well. Third, and equally im portant, inflated government costs wfaidi created our back-breaking, peace-time debt, must be pared to the bone. They continue to exceed the government’s income by a wide margin, and the present emergency expenditures must be piled on top of them. Congress has done little or nothing about that. In an election year, we are used to politically-minded congresses dodg ing issues whenever possible, for fear of alienating votes. We cannot af ford that kind of a congress now. To play conscienceless politics to- itoy is to play with America’s des tiny—and with America’s very ex istence as a democratic power. Con gress never faced a greater duty— and it nevec had a better chance to serve the natioi^ it represents. -S' , 7yi , ■i"" ■■■ WHO’S GOING TO SACRinCE WHAT? The American people, driven by the need for military security, must build a military establishments cost ly beyond aU precedents. An in credible proportion of the national Income must be taken from the pock ets of the people and diverted to government. All of us will have fewer luxuries. All of us must con serve. All of us must sacrifice. That is clear enough and reason able enough. But it has become tragically plain that a very substan tial portion of the American people have the idea that the other fellow should make most, if not all the sacrifices. It’s the other fellow’s standard of living which should suf fer, not their own. It’s the other fellow who should pay the bill and do the work, while they go on much as they did before. Certain influential segments of labor, for instance, demand still high er pay, shorter hours, excessive ex- ^ pay for overtime, and other spec ial privileges and prerogatives for the woriunan, despite the fact that pay is now the hipest and the work week the shortest in history. Their argument is'that industry must sac rifice more of its profits in the in terests of labor, while the worker grows fat off the natioilal emergency. A certain segment of industry fol lows a similar course. Even as it make^ profits of an unusual size, it works to reduce the share that goes to la^r, and it works to get more bountj^or itself out of government in one way or another. It too be- liwes in sacrifice—so long as the other fellow does it. Those who have gone on govem- inent relief as a career favor sacri- fiee, too—so long as it doesn’t touch relihf appropriations. The govern ment, under the guise of “relief,” stiH pays out millions for leaf-rak ing, b(^doggling and other com- idetely non - productive activities. Powerful influences demand that not eoe nickel of this waste be |lo matter bow much others sacrifice ■00 pay it, cr how dire the menace the poUUelaag talk door prizes at the Fort Exposition. Efitery young farm student register* hig there during Farm Week will receive a numbered coupon. There’ll be a drawing for a boy’s wardrobe and another fOr a girl's. Tbe boy and girl bolding the lucky coupons will win. The winners will pick their'own clothes at Lord and Tay lor, smart Fifth Avenue store. They may choose anything at all, just so they stay within a 9100 budget To show you how much you can gat for your money, Helen Thomas, tbe pretty girl pictured here, picked out a sample 9100 wardrobe at Lc^rd and Taylos Helen is a model i^the Ford Exposition’s novel auto fashion show at tbe Fair. She portrays a sun-loving youngster who is always dashing from classes to the tennis courts. Sflf naturally Helen’s first selection (or her sample prize ward robe was a hare-knees outfit that’s right' for badminton as weH as botany It’s bright red corduroy, and it cost 96. To complete this costume, Helen chose a feathered calot (cap), long wool sox and sad dle shoes.' She tried-them on—up per left—and you'can see that she liked them. Helen spent the rest of. het 9100 reefer with scarlet flannel lining and detachable hood. And look at the undies: two sets,'' with a girdle, three pairs of sllkj stockings, four anklets, pyjamas, bedroom slippers, and mono-! grammed bathrobe. Helen now had a complete baeic wardrobe, and stUl she had spent only 998.02. So she chose an ornament to set off her clothes. It's a silver-plated Identifi cation bracelet. The boy winning the Fort 9100 wardrobe prize will have his chance to pick out a complete wardrobe, too. These Ford Exposition prizes in dicate tbe lengths to which major exhibitors are going to make Faim Week an unforgettable experience for farm families. There’ll be doz-, ens of prize contests. And the ex-| hibitors in cooperation with the' Fair%ave arranged the biggest free entertainment program ever offered in the World of Tomorrow. Parades,' outdoor variety shows, the world's biggest bam dance and official wel comes are included. By special arj rangement. Farm Week guests will^ see more World’s Fair wonders than ever before have b^n packed into one week’s visit. The Fair’s chairman of the board, Harvey D. Gibson, invites all farm youth, as well as growUups, to join- in the festivities as honor guests much of sacrifice, in noble words. But it is a rare politician who is willing to sacrifice one thin dime of patronage that might cost a vote, to support a principle. Money still goes out for a thousand and one piuposes which are in no way a true function of government, but which are prolific sources of votes and power. The self-seeking hand of politics handicaps a real defense pro gram which would get maximum re sults with a minimum of waste ol time and money. Who is going to sacrifice what.' ’That Is the question that America faceS'to^y, if national security is to be a reality, not a mirage. The an swer is plain. All must sacrifice, all must contribute their full share. The other fellow isn’t going to do it for us. Selfish interests now at play in America, whetoer they be in labot, industry, or government, are the real fifth-columnists within our gates.

Granville Wilt Shows Up Over Wide Region Methodist Church The pastor, who has been away on vacation for a week, will be back in Raeford Friday, filling his appoint ment at the Methodist church Sun day morning and preaching in the Union Services Sunday night. Sub ject Sunday morning, “Making Room for Progress;” the message Sunday night, “If I Should Die Tonight.” The pastor will take the remainder of his vacation the latter part of August, with visiting minister filling appointment the fourth Sunday in August. Checks MALARIA In 7 days and '’’^relieves COLDS lymptoms first day ’'Rab-aiy-Tisn”-a wonderful liniOMnl LloBM-ThUets Salve - Nose Dregs Try Flue - cfured tobacco growers of other sections of the State are being plagued this year by Granville wilt, a idisease herefore largely centered in Granville, Durham, and Wake Counties. Howard H. Crarriss, plant, pathologist of the State College Ex tension Service, reports that the wilt has been found this summer in many, coimties, with the worst new out breaks in Southeastern North Caro lina. Granville wilt is caused by a bac terial germ which lives in the soil indefinitely if plants susceptible to the germ are grown on the land. Since it is not transferred through the air, Garriss said the only explana tion for the widespread occurence of the disease this year is that is has been brought in by tobacco plants imported from one area to another, or by soil attached to potatoes, toma toes, peppers, string beans, peanuts, Jimson weeds, cockleburrs and other plants susceptible to attack by the wilt. He recommends the following con trol measures, none of which, how ever, has been proven to be entirely "sure” as a cure or preventive for the disease: Prevent washing of soil from infected to uninfected fields, avoid transportation of tobacco stalks and trash from infected to uninfected filds, avoid traosportation of soil on farm implements and on the feet of animals andPTnan from infected to uninfected fields, and grow tobacco in infected crops adopted to local conditions. Garriss says that the following plants apparently are immune to Granville wilt: corn, sweet potatoes, cotton, wheat, oats, rye, barley, crim son clover, Austrian winter peas, vetch, lespedeza, crotalaria, herds (red top) gr^ss, crab grass, water melons, cantaloupes, and sorghum. ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS The pattern of Hitler’s projected world revolution steadily becomes more clear. It is apparent to any one that this is not a war in the traditional sense, in which Germany, if she will be satisfied with reparations and colonies and econom ic power. What the Nazis obviously Intend—despite their occasional pro testations io the* contrary — is the complete and final destruction of the British Empire, vdiich for hun dreds of years ^has held the balance of power in Europe and a large part of the rest of the world. And fol lowing that, if the Fuhrer’s astound ing Mein Kampf is to be believed, the rest of the democracies will re ceive similar treatment. Nowadays, the only democracies left, save Eng land, are the American Republics. And of the American Republics, only the United States possesses sufficient wealth, resources and potential arm ed strength to be a serious obstacle to the aims of National Socialism. Men who were once close to Hitler have been describing what he plans if and when England falls, and the glittering Empire on which the sun never sets crumbles away. They say toat Hitler has no intention of laimch- ing an immediate military attack on the United States and the New World. If he did that, he would be courting disaster—the tactical obstacles in the way are gigantic, no matter how great Iris military and naval power. And Hitler and his high-ranking ad visers seem to feel that the U. S. can be conquered simply and easily. First plaimed step, according to the reports, is to court U. S. good will, by offering us favorable economic agreements. This is designed to les sen our suspicions, and to create pub lic opposition to spending more bil lions for national edefnse. At the same time, the Nazis, as quietly as possible, will carry on their economic penetration into Latin America. Next teChmque will be undercover work to create dissension within this country—to set group against group, race against race, class against class, and thus to make genuine natinna] unity impossible. Nazi propaganda chief Goebbels and Nazi philosopher Rosenberg, judging by their speeches and writings, seem to believe that this can be done with little trouble. They have said time and again that the U. S. is ripe for revolution, and only a competent directing hand is needed to bring it about when the time comes. finally, if'it becomM necessary. Hitler’s great armed for^ will at tack us—depending largely upon in ternal imr^t and disunity to make the job of his soldiers and sailors and airmMi comparatively easy. This may sounid fantastic, but it seems to be the Nazi plan, and Hit ler realizes that if he is to achieve a world revolution imprecedented in history, he must have allies. It must be admitted that he has so- far been extremely successful in getting them. It was said for years tot National Socialism would come a CTopper when it ran into its old arch foe, com munism. But today Gerraan-Rus- sian relations are apparently of the best, and Soviet spokesrrien have been denounciiig tbe U. S. and England and praising the Reich. Italy was a world war ally—^today she is Hitler’s partner, and Fascist authorities have been extremely outspoken concern ing Axis plans for dismembering England and giving the U. S. a dose of harsh economic medicine. Last, Japan—also a world war'Slly—seems to have gone Axis-ward whole hog. The new goyemment is pro-Fascist, and 100 per cent anti-^Democratic. English rights in the Far East are being ruthlessly abrogated, and Brit? ain had to swallow a humiliating pill recently when she agreed to Japanese demands to close the Burma Road, principal 'soiu-ce of supplies for beleaguered China. And Japanese- U. S. relations have rarely been in a worse state. According to Nipponese authorities, Japan will piusue her “Asia for As iatics” policy-^ policy which is a- bout as cruel and imperialistic as any in history—^whether we like it or not. U. S. protests will not be seriously considered. And say the Japanese sword-wavers, the-Land ol the Rising Sim will go to war with us if neces sary. So far as Europe is concerned, Japan is solidly in favor of German Italian plans and actions. American naval authorities have lately said thM our navy could de stroy the Japanese fleet in a few weeks in open warfare. But, if we went fo war in the Pacific, the At lantic would be wide open to the Axis, and we would be in no posi tion to adequately fight Nazi-Fascist economic aggression south of the Rio Grande. That explains why most authorities believe we will do little even if Japan does seize Indo-China, property of totalitarian-niled France, and the Dutch Indies. Moral pres sure is about all we can afford to use right pow—and moral pressure gets few results in the world of to day. If Britain is able to survive Hit ler’s attacks, the pictures will be drastically changed. The U, S. as a democracy will qot fall if England falls—but the future of democracy will be immeasurably brighter if England lives. FOR PRINTING THAT SATIS» FIES, PHONE 3521.
