Thursday, August 10, 1939 Washington, August B—Care ful students of political psychol ogy are trying to estimate the probable political effects of two unexpected occurrences in the closing days of the Congressional session, or what seemed to be its closing days. One was the unheralded "de nunciation" of the commercial treaty between the United States and Japan by proclamation of the Secretary of State. The other was the personal attack upon Vice-President Garner by John L. Lewis, head of the Congress of Industrial Organization. The Japanese matter comes down to this. Senator Key Pitt man of Nevada has been trying for some time to get Congress to enact some law which would ef- NOTICE Having qualified as Adminis trator on the estate of Tri phenia Park, dec'd., all persons holding claims against said es tate will hereby take notice that they are required to present the same to the undersigned within 12 months from this date or this notice will be pleaded in bar of recovery.

He had general support for the idea, since the sympathies of Congress, like those of the na tion in general, are entirely with China. But unless the President should declare by proclamation that a state of war exists between Japan and China there is no law on the American statute books which can be invoked to prevent any body from selling anything to Japan, except a few items which are specifically under the control of the Munitions Board. It would make for an awkward international situation were the President to declare the Japan- China affair a war when neither of the parties to it admits it is a war. Hence the United States is at peace with both nations, neu tral in their neighborhood quar rel, and proposes to remain so, especially since we are bound by a treaty with Japan, signed in 1911, under which each nation gives the other free access to its markets, subject to modest tarill duties, for any commodities which either exports and the other imports. "Denouncing" a Treaty That treaty, however, contains a clause under which either Japan or the United States can cancel by giving six months no tice. Such notice, in terms of diplomacy, is called "denouncing" a treaty. While the Senate was trying to find some way to limit experts tc our peaceful neighbor, Japan, without violating that old com mercial treaty, it occurred to Senator Arthur Vandenberg to lead the treaty. He came across the "denunciation" clause and immediately drafted and intro duced a resolution in the Senate calling upon the President to de nounce the treaty. The resolution caused some thing of a sensation. Nobody had thought of that way of clearing the decks to do what Senator Pittman had tried to do, legally barring the door to the export of goods to Japan and the importa tion of Japanese wares into America. While the Senate cloak rooms were still buzzing with the audacity of the proposal, and sentiment was forming strongly for it, regardless of party lines, the Administration acted. Possibly the President and the Secretary of State had already considered the denunciation of the treaty with Japan, and were hesitating because of doubt about the attitude of Congress. But the reception given to the Vanden berg resolution, which never came to a vote, removed all doubt. With no warning to the Japanese Ambassador or anybody else, the proclamation denouncing the treaty was given to the press. The politics which Washing ton sees in this is that It would have been very bad politics in deed for a Democratic Adminis tration to let such a proposal go before the people as having been originated by a Republican, es pecially when that Republican is a leading candidate for the Presi dential nomination. Unexpected Denunciation The other incident which has set political dopesters at work with their fortune-telling equip ment, is the unexpetced denun ciation of the Vice-President by Mr. Lewis. In the course of a hearing befor r e the House Com mittee on Labor, the head of the CJ.O. attacked Congress for its "unfair" attitude toward organ ized labor, and said: "The genesis of this campaign ;• I i i i* dJM .-i • l il ifi'i '« .> jJ, JL ill 11 THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA against Labor in the House is within the Democratic Party. It runs across to the Senate of the United States and emanates there from a labor-baiting, poke r-playing, whisky-drinking evil old man whose name is Gar ner ... I am against him offi cially, individually and personal ly. lam against him in 1939 and will be against him in 1940 when he seeks the Presidency of the United States." Congressmen who heard Mr. Lewis say those things, which are taken from the stenographic rec ord, were stunned. The news spread through the House like wildfire and there was a rush of members, not only from Mr. Gar ner's home state of Texas, but from other parts of the country, to rise in their places and de nounce Mr. Lewis in turn. In the Senate there was equal earnest ness in the expressions of Sen ators in defense of Mr. Garner. Not Believed Warranted So far as Washington has been able to observe the personal con duct and habits of Mr. Garner, through many years of his ser vice as minority leader in the House, Speaker and for seven years Vice-President, there is no warrant for Mr. Lewis' attack. Like many another man, the Vice-President is not averse to a friendly game of cards or an oc casional drink, those who know him best say. But • the implica tions of the Lewis tirade do not by any means fit with the known character of tlic msn. Mr. Lewis personally is said to be a man of highly scrupulous, almost religious personal charac ter. He does not drink or play cards and his private life is im peccable. That, his friends be lieve, makes him intolerant when the personal habits of others are under scrutiny. __—————J POPLAR SPRING Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Ray and daughter, Alma, of Winston-Sa lem, spent the week-end in this community visiting friends and relatives. Mr. Clarence Bowman, of Mt. Airy, spent this week-end with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hayes. Miss Lucille Sprinkle, of North Elkin, visited Miss Margaret Car ter Sunday. Several from this community attended the foot washing held at Mulberry church Sunday. Mrs. Ella Isaacs, of Mountain Park, is spending this week with her daughter, Mrs. R. S. Guyer. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hayes en tertained a large number of boys and girls at a bean stringing last Wednesday night. Everyone help ed string the beans and then en joyed a very pleasant social hour. Everyone is invited to attend Sunday school next Sunday morning at 10:00 o'clock at the Poplar Spring Baptist church. VICTORY An order hy a nation-wide grocery chain for 2,500,000 flour bags was hailed recently by the Cotton Textile institute as a "major victory" in a campaign to boost the home consumption of American cotton. FAVORABLE The U. S. Department of Com merce has announced that the United States sold $320,864,000 more merchandise abroad in the first half of the year than it purchased from foreigners. SORRY TOBACCO CROP ISURGER Farmers Are Busy Harvest ing and Curing Weed All Over the County WATCH GEORGIA PRICE Tobacco is the watchword with thousands of tobacco growers of this section as farmers tend to bacco barns to harvest and cure what is said to be one of the largest tobacco crops produced in many years. This year's crop is estimated by leading farmers and tobacco men of Surry as likely to rim 20 to 25 per cent, larger than last year's crop, although others deny that the increase will be that large. However, it is certain that the acreage has increased a great deal, with some farmers said to have more tobacco to cure than they have barns in which to cure it. Although the Surry crop was started later this year than last, ideal weather pushed it rapidly to the priming stage, the result being one of the most rapid priming seasons of recent years. Hail and wind storms have done their part in decreasing the crop, the most severe storms hit ting the section between Beulah and Dobson two weeks ago to destroy an estimated 100 acres of tobacco. Other hail storms have hit near Westfield and Pilot Mountain, although the damage was not as extensive as in the Beulah community. Two new warehouses are being constructed in Mount Airy to give the Surry town a total of four houses this year, with a combined floor space of well over 100,000 square feet, guaarnteeing much better marketing facilities. This year's increased crop, it is believed, will mean lowered prices for the weed when the markets open in September. As a result, Surry f obacco farmers are watching with interest the devel opments in Georgia, where the farmers are battling for better prices. CHEEK REUNION TO BE HELD IN SEPTEMBER Members of the Cheek family will meet in reunion at the home of Mrs. Thomas Cheek at Swan Creek the first Sunday in Sep tember. All relatives and friends are in vited to attend and bring a bas ket dinner. CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere appreciation to our friends for their kindness and sympathy during the illnes and death of our husband and father, Thomas Cheek, also for the beautiful flowers.
