K Washington, Nov. 9—The first tangible result of the clearing away of the question of whether the manufacturers of the United States may make and sell mili tary weapons and supplies will be the release from Governmental restrictions of almost $80,000,000 worth of orders already in the hands of makers of airplanes and other munitions. Great Britain has ordered from the makers in this country nearly $15,000,000 of planes, Prance al most three times as many, and there are orders in hand for $5,- 000,000 of planes from Australia, Canada and other nations, to say nothing of numerous small orders for rifles and ammunition. It is known to the State and War Departments that hundreds of millions of further war orders from the Allies are . ready to be given, the moment the President signs the new Neutrality law.

When You Buy Beer . .. We're sure that you will want to patronize a dealer who conducts his business legally and reputably. That is the kind of cooperation North Carolin ians can give this committee, if they will. We want to cooperate and our record of action bears us out—by giving aid to authorities in "cleaning up or closing up" those few licensed beer retailers who permit conditions of which both the public and the industry disapprove.

Completely transparent lip color that is neither paste nor grease; color that just refuses to come oft until you purposely remove it. Apply LIPTONE before dinner and you'll discover at dawn that not even a mite ot its rich redness and shimmering luster is gone. We simply can't wait until you try thiß heavenly new beauty aid. The six new shades in which Princess Pat pre sents her LIPTONE are utterly divine. , n a boom of business In many lines is not to be doubted, but how far it will be reflected in other lines of business apart from munitions no one ventures to predict. It will put a good many thousand men back on payrolls, however, and so increase the purchasing power of themselves and their families for all sorts of commod ities. Boom May Be Limited How long this boom will last depends upon how long the war lasts; and there are astute ob servers in Washington, close to the State Department, who are predicting that the war will not last very long. These prophets base their belief upon the as sumption that Germany will be forced by the pressure of world opinion to yield to the demand that Hitler and his immediate circle be thrown out. In that case there would be a possibility of mediation by some powerful neutral nation, such as th p United States, looking toward a peace which would be just to all parties concerned. Such a peace cannot be nego tiated with a government which, like Hitler's, has demonstrated its untrustworthiness, but it is un derstood here that the new Bri tish Ambassador, the Marguess of Lothian, has assured the Presi dent that his government would be only too glad to avert the sac rifice of lives and wealth which a prolonged war would involve if a satisfactory settlement could be arranged with a government which the British government could trust. Such a message is considered here as tantamount to an invita tion to President Roosevelt to be the mediator of the European quarrel. He could hardly offer his services, but it is considered possible that he might accept that role if a formal invitation came from both sides, from re sponsible governments. In that THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA Prayer for Peace mm IB® M ■"':« V; ' \,y ; ■ '-•. : BARREN HILL, Pa. . . . Flaxen haired 12-year-old Dolores Van Sant, who saved up her pennies to buy flags in whose folds she enclosed a private prayer for peace, which she sent to Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Daladier, the King and .Queen of England and others. case he would be following the example of his illustrious name sake and predecessor, "Teddy," who negotiated the Peace of Portsmouth between Russia and Japan in 1905. While some who are close to the European situation ridicule the idea that any external pres-j sure can force Hitler to relinquish: his leadership, others who ' are equally informed point out that the Fuehrer has not the confi dence or the unquestioning sup port of the German Army, and that another Army revolution such as that which drove the Kaiser into exile is not impossi ble. Pure Speculation Much of that is pure specula tion, but it is worth noting as in dicating that there is no certain ty that the rush of war orders al ready beginning will continuej long enough to start anything like a business boom. There is a ! better chance, many observers [ here believe, that as a result of all the discussion of the position of the United States with rela tion to the rest of the world, the next session of Congress may be gin appropriating enough money j to provide our own army and| navy with necessary arms and! supplies. It is taken as a settled question! in Washington that the defeat of the "isolationist" block in the Senate is the green light which the Army and Navy and the State Department have been waiting for as the signal to go ahead and prepare the defenses, not only of the United States but of the whole Western hemisphere, so that we shall be actually, in stead of only possibly, the most powerfully armed nation in the world. The superior strength of Ger many in the air and the success ful raids upon the British Navy have gone a good way to dispel the old-time faith that we are immune to air attacks and that this country does not need a strong navy, since we can rely uppn the British fleet to guard the Atlantic. While a good deal has been said and printed about our de fense preparations, the fact is that the Government has spent only about a tenth as much in the past three years for Army and Navy purposes as have Eng land or France. The War De partment believes than an ade quate land and air force would take three years to build up and would cost $5,000,000,000 dollai's. Only would we be able to put enough trained and fully equipped soldiers in the field to protect our shores and provide defense against possible air at tacks, the generals say. And the Navy believes that we will never be adequately protected until we have a "two-ocean" fleet, which I would cost us another five or six billions and take three or four years to build. The idea is that with the start which the war orders now in hand from the Allies will give our factories in numerous lines it would be sound national policy to go into the munitions business for ourselves in a big way, and so" take up a lot of the employment slack and get ourselves ready to talk turkey to Russia, Japan, Germany or any other nation which might conceivably want something that belongs to us.
