THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
TWO SIDES
To Every Question
By LITTLE HULL
AMERICA'S 300-MILE ZONE
In order to keep this country
out of war the United States
Government has passed laws
which prevent its ships and its
citizens from traveling in the
danger zones off the coasts of
the belligerent nations. This was
done at tremendous financial
sacrifice to many of our indus
tries and to the families of the
workers in those industries. A
big concession to the war-loving
countries of Europe.
The nations of this hemisphere
have outlined a zone extending
roughly three hundred miles out
to sea along the coasts of North
and South America, to the United
States-Canadian boundary. They
have indicated to the world that
they consider this zone necessary
to the protection of their various
interests and have requested the
belligerents to confine their crav
ing for battle to the vast reaches
of the oceans which lie outside
this zone and in which there is
ample space for their naval man
oeuvers.
The belligerents either ignore
our request for protection from
their deep sea atrocities, or cold
ly announce that they have no
intention of observing it on the
grounds that there is no basis in
maritime law upon which we can
claim this privilege. They claim
for themselves, however, a perfect
right to zone the entire wet sur
face of the earth and capture or
sink any neutral ships which are
doing business with each other's
enemies. They take unto them
selves the privilege of capturing
or sinking any English, French or
German ship which might be
carrying much needed supplies
from one American country to
another American country, and
they have even had the imperti
nence to stop and examine an
American ship in American wa
ters in American trade.
How long will it be before they
claim the right to capture or sink
any ship in any waters on any
errand? Let us hope that we may
be allowed to use our own rivers
without molestation from their
submarines, mines and sea raid
ers.
The damage which German
warships can do to their enemies
in American waters is not great
land will become less as time goes
ion. The amount of goods which
| reaches Germany is limited by
the blockade, but still is far more
| important to that country than
I the sinking of a few English and
! French ships on this side of the
i Atlantic.
Germany would stop sending
her raiders over here if every
American country would threaten
to cut off all shipments destined
for her. England and France are
far more vulnerable to similar ac
tion on the part of the Americas.
They must have our produce or
quit. Both sides are equally guil
ty of utter disrespect for the
wishes of the nations of this
hemisphere.
The weapon to make this 300
mile zone one of the few peaceful
spots is in our hands. We should
use it. We have a right to peace
and security on our side of the
ocean. We are endangered every
time a warlike incident occurs in
our waters. Protests and lawsuits
arise every time we attempt to
enforce our laws by interning a
ship of any of the belligerents.
Physical danger threatened cit
izens of one of our countries dur
ing the recent naval encounter off
the Uruguayan coast: It isn't too
great a stretch of the imagination
to picture a battle off New York
Harbor and a few stray shells
landing among the onlookers, or
a misdirected torpedo sinking an
American liner with a thousand
Americans aboard, or a contact
mine—dropped by a fleeing ship
in the hope of sinking the pur
suer—killing Americans instead:
and If the belligerents are allow
ed to snew at our claim of super
vision over our own waters, how
long will it, be before they begin
laying mine fields along our
shores? •*
Just as curtly as this naval
warfare continue# over here
just as will an incident
occur to Mttrolve us in the sordid
European «tr. The United States
alone has nearly AS many citizens
as have all three of the countries
involved in thi* war and to us
Americans, they ere of far greater
importance. If Ihe belligerents
believe we amount to so little that
they can endanger our lives and
property impunity, let us in
form them tnat tliey have made
a slight error.
Try to bnacics what would
happen if the United States went
to war with some other nation
and dared to carry on operations
off the coa«te of Germany, France
and England which endangered
the neutral positions of those
countries n let us rise up
in righteou%J |jM(h and advise
those unless they

Local Man Is
Attending Philco
Sales Meeti
E. E. Hayes, of Hayes and
Speas, local Philco dealer, has left
for Palm Beach, Fla., to partici
pate in the national mid-winter
sales convention of the Philco
Radio & Television Corporation
where announcement will be made
of Philco's 1940 line of electric
refrigerator and air conditioning
equipment. The convention dates
are January 15, 16, 17 and 18.
The convention, which will be
attended by more than 700 Philco
distributors and guests from every
section of the United States, will
mark the debut of the new Philco
refrigerator, into which has been
incorporated the latest scientific
achievements in refrigeration en
gineering.
Although it "has been customary
to hold sectional meetings each
year for Philco's distributors, Mr.
Hayes explained that because of
the startling scientific advances
made during the past year in the
refrigeration and air conditioning
field, Philco is calling most of its
distributors together at one time.
As part of the national mer
chandising plan to support the ex
panded Philco refrigerator and
air conditioning activities, accord
ing to Mr. Hayes, Philco is formu
lating advertising plans which will
provivde for a much larger and
more concentrated program than
ever before; with newspapers again
receiving the major share of
Philco's advertising.
