Washington, Oct. 17—After the first two or three days of debate in the Senate on the Neutrality bill. Senators began to take off their false mustaches and show their faces. In other words, the pretense that the purpose of the Congress and the President is to keep the nation neutral in the European war has been all but abandoned. The clear purpose, which is be ing disclosed as the discussions We Safegu Your H Day or night our prescrip tion department stands ready to safeguard your health by prompt, accurate compounding of prescrip tions.

Church go on, is to be about as un-neu- | tral as a nation can be without actually going to war. It is to help the Allies, Britain and Fiance, by giving them every as sistance short of actually taking part in hostilities. That is the purpose of the lift ing of the embargo on the ship ment of arms and ammunition to nations at war. In spite of the efforts of Administration oppon ents to retain the embargo, it is considered here a practical cer tainty that it will be washed out. The protests of the vast num ber of people who have written to their Senators and Congressmen urging the retention of the em bargo are not being disregarded, but the attitude of members of both houses, with some excep tions. is that these protests come from people who honestly believe that the embargo is the only THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA Free Theatre Tickets Are Ready for These If the three people pictured above will call at The Tribune in person, they w: : ll be given two free tickets to the Elk or Lyric theatres.

United States out of war. i ( There is no let-up in the de- j termination to do everything hu- j manly possible to accomplish that | end. but the conviction is gaining j strength in Congress that the United States stands back of the! Allies with a steady supply of fighting airplanes, guns, ammuni tion and the other implements of! war. Hoover's Analysis One thing which has greatly strengthened that conviction is the carefully-prepared analysis of the relative strength and re sources of the warring nations, prepared by former President Hoover and given out for publi cation by him. Few question Mr. Hoover's ac curate knowledge of European af fairs, none dispute his ability as an analyst of statistical informa tion. Therefore, when he mar shalled all the facts and drew fiom them the positive conclu sion that Hitler cannot win and that the French and British can carry on to victory without the aid of American soldiers and bat tleships, provided they can obtain the necessary fighting materials from this and other countries, his] statement provided ammunition j for the proponents of repeal of j the embargo of which they are j making good use. Nobody thinks of questioning j Mr. Hoover's sincerity when he declares that he wants to keep j America out of war. Few non combatants saw so much of the horrors of war from 1914 to 1918 did this Quaker whose re-! ligious tenets prevented him from j bearing arms but whose work on the fighting front of Belgium j won him the acclaim of the j whole world. Mr. Hoover is out of politics in the sense of not desiring or seek-; ing further public office, but he \ is a powerful factor in shaping j the policies of his own party, and j more than one vote for embargo repeal, when the show-down comes, will be attributed to his influence. Now that the question of the mis-called law is be ing discussed more realistically than emotionally more attention is being paid to the growing de mand from business interests for repeal of the arms embargo. Encourages Business Once American business is free fiom legal restrictions upon the production and sale of any kind ci supplies to the Allied govern ments, it is reasonably certain that a considerable increase in business activity in this country will follow. That does not necessarily mean "profiteering." It is more than j probable that the lifting of the | embargo will be accompanied by j legislatioh which will effectively prevent anything more than nor mal business profits being taken down by anybody from the man ufacture and sale of arms. The benefits which, business foresees consist mainly in the probable reduction in unemploy ment, more people on payrolls and hence a broader purchasing power by which all kinds of busi ness may expect to profit. The road ahead of the Pittman bill is not, however, entirely clear. It contains "cash-and-carry" pro visions which have yet to be fought out after the embargo phase has been disposed of. Whether the United States would be surrendering one of the nation's inalienable rights by re stricting the travel of American ships, then - cargoes and passen gers, to non-combatant zones, is hotly disputed. Infringement on Rights In the World War No. 1, our involvement was chiefly due to the orders of the German govern ment that American ships should School, Com Fair to Be Staged At Dobson • A Dobson school and commun ity fair will be held at Dobson Friday. October 20. beginning at noon, which will feature many exhibits and other entertaining features, the purpose of which is to promote better cooperation be tween parents and teachers and to familiarize parents with the work at the school Admission to all exhibits and to a part of the entertainment will be free. A small admission lee will be charged for the amus ing side shows, which will fea ture jitterbug numbers, and a display of live animals, including lions, bears, monkeys, etc. A long midway will feature numerous amusements, including bingo, rolling pin contests, and Others. Jim Scott, of Ashe county, the tallest man in the south, who wears a No. 19 shoe, will be an attraction of the fair. In con trast will be the shortest man, who is only 34 inches tall. Each parent attending the fair will be requested to vote on the slay out of certain sea areas or lun the risk of being sunk by U-boats. That was a flagrant in fringement upon our national lights to the freedom of the seas, ar non-combatants, which an other nation undertook to impose upon us. Whether we ought to impose such restrictions upon ourselves is the question now. If we did, would we increase or di minish our chances of being in volved in war? After all, that is the major question before Con gress. There are other points in the Pittman bill which seem likely to prolong debate in the Senate. And after the Senate has said its say, the House of Representa tives will have its innings. This is one instance where lo cal district and state interests are overshadowed by the broad Na tional interests, and something approaching statesmanship is no ticeable in many of the comments and conclusions of Representa tives as well as of Senators.
