THE ELKEN TRIBUNE Published Every Thursday by ELK PRINTING COMPANY, Inc. Elkln, N. C. Thursday, October 10, 1940 Entered at the post office at Elkln, N. C., as second-class matter. O. 8. FOSTER... President H. F. LAFFOON Secretary-Treasurer SUBSCRIPTION KATES, PER YEAR In the State, $1.50 Out of the State, $2.00 NAT ONAL6DITORI AL II >HIW ASSOCIATION Member North Carolina Press Association And Why Not? Under the cut of prize-winning Watauga cattle carried by a neighbor paper was this caption: "Although surry is not essentially a cattle county, many farmers are finding that cattle can pay big dividends—Milk and cattle bring another cash income to the farm." One couldtake that as a text and really go to town wTffl sound, logical reasoning, but chances are that many sinners would remain unconverted —th e sinners being those one-crop farmers who could do better by themselves and their community if they would give up at least some of their gambling. Consider this little word-picture: A busi ness man in a neighbor county unwillingly found himself in possession of a worn-out two-hundred acre farm. Once it could boast that it was a good hunting area, but lately the rabbits and birds had toioved off because they couldn't make a living. That was ten years ago. Today that farm is one of the show'places of the county, because its hill sides are green with pasture grass and grazed by seventy-five as fine Herefords as you would want to see, and the fields pro duce the silage and lespedeza that feed the cattle through the winter. And the present owner built the farm to its present excellence by degrees, but each new step was taken in the certainty as to where he was headed. And he'll turn to his records to prove that this improvement and his cattle have cost him not a single penny. His Herefords have paid their way, and the income from them from now on will be vel vet. And his farm today could not be bought for six times its cost at forced auc tion. If that can be done in one case, it can be done in another. If "Surry is not essential ly a cattle county," it is the fault of our landowners only, and more's the pity. Our soil will grow as fine grass as can be grown anywhere, and whether we turn to beef or dairy type cattle there is a dependable mar ket within reach for either. And every cow added to a farm adds to soil improvement, and the income does not have to run the gauntlet of blue-mold, tobacco worms, and warehouse gambling. Surry can very definitely be made "es sentially a cattle county," and here is hop ing that the day may soon come when it is just that. American Blood for Britain This country and Britain have been drawn together in closer ties than ever be fore in their history, and in more ways than in the material assistance we have been giving and are now eager to give because even the most rabid isolationist must secret ly if not openly admit that Britain is fight ing our battle for us, right now. And one of the ways has a double signifi cance: We are actually "spilling" American blood in defense of the British Empire. For more than 4,000 Americans have given a pint of blood to aid the English forces in the Battle of Britain—blood that will be sent to British hospitals where it will be used for transfusion to injured soldiers and civilians. And that, we submit, is a friendly gesture that will not quickly be forgotten over there. Such procedure would have been impos sible in the last war. The scientists then had not perfected the process of taking blood and whirling the red and white cor puscles out of it, then mixing it in a saline solution and putting on ice until used. Now that is just what is being done, and there is no telling how many British lives will be saved by the blood of German refugees, Italian anti-Fascists, and Russian Jews, as well as that of red-blooded Americans, for these foreigners have been among the don ors for this commendable cause—all of it democratic blood, some of which probably will mix in "blue-blood" veins. For as cer tain as the sunrise, England in this hour of trial is undergoing a transformation that will remove some of the class distinction that was so marked there in the yester years. The British people have been brought together in a common cause—the defense of their little Island and their very existence, and we don't believe they ever will revert to type. We seldom ever hear anything more about the war debt Britain owes to us for that other war. We'd willingly mark it off tomorrow if by so doing it would make cer tain a British victory over Hitler. And on the other hand the Britisher who now would refer -to us as "Uncle Shylock" probably would get biffed in the face by one of his fellow countrymen. Is It Hysteria You are continually reading and hearing that Hitler's great war machine is a distinct and definite and immediate threat to the people of this nation; that his victory over England, which is more probable than pos sible, would only whet his purpose to attack us before we could prepare to offer adequate and successful defense. All this is called "hysteria." We are re minded that we were hearing the same thing back yonder before our entry into the other world war. We are told that if Hitler finds it so difficult to send an army across the English Channel, how in the heck could he send an army to America? Well, we sent an army to Europe, didn't we? An army that was the deciding factor in a con flict that involved only Germany, with a single ally. Now Germany is backstood by a large part of the world: the small nations he has conquered and which he can force to do his bidding plus others ambitious to grab whatever they can, if they are not actually pledged to join him in conquest. Is it hysteria, of the made-in-America variety to conclude that we are facing a very definite and immediate threat, when weighed against the words of a man who has made good on all his pledges of con quest. Listen to this from Hitler: "The present government of the Unitfed States is the last disgusting death rattle of a corrupt and outworn system which is a blot on the history of this people. Since the Qvil War, survivors have been in a condition of po litical and popular decay. We shall have an S. A. in America. We shall train our youth. We shall have men which degenerate Yankee dom will not be able to challenge. National socialism about us is destined to liberate the American people from their ruling clique and give them back the means of a great nation. I shall undertake this task simultaneously with the restoration of Germany to her lead ing position in America. I guarantee that at the right moment a new America will exist as our strongest supporter when we are ready to stride into overseas space. There will be no Mr. Wilson to stir up America against us . . . We have the means of awakening this nation in good time." Does that sound like he will be asking nothing more when he has conquered Bri tain? Can one find consolation that he will be weary and willing to wait. He plainly says not. A Pathetic Figure When Neville Chamberlain gave way to Winston Churchill it was natural that he would want to save some of his face by re taining a post in the government, but doubtless there was another reason too, and one shared by his conservative friends in London who had his ear when he was trip ping back and forth for conferences with Hitler—the hope that somehow appease ment would be given another trial, and Bri tish tradesmen another chance to salvage something from their investments in Ger many and her Hitler-controlled neighbors. Mr. Chamberlain was given this recog nition. He was not kicked out on his ear, but never at any time did he have a chance to bring his influence to bear in swerving Winston Churchill one iota from his de termination to fight this thing out to a finish. And now Mr. Chamberlain is out of the picture. It is charitably explained that his health is such that he could no longer carry the responsibilities of his office. But the world knows that the decks are being clear ed for action, that the Churchill cabinet will embrace no appeasers to embarrass, and Hitler can no longer hope that Britain will come on bended knee, with gifts of gems and rare spices. Mr. Chamberlain meant well, it is only charitable to say that. When he returned from a conference with Hitler and declared that his agreements had brought "peace for our time," he was conscientious and sincere about it, even if a bit gullible. But when Mr. Chamberlain eased out of his last place of leadership, we are wonder ing if he did not sense the havoc he had brought. Surely the pages of history will tell that he left nothing to distinguish him as a statesman—except his sincerity. For he had believed Hitler time after time wh6n he said "I have no further territorial de mands to make," and time after time gave the lie to his words. It was during Cham berlain's regime that Czechoslovakia was sold down the river, and a sizeable little army that would have fought on Britain's side was sacrificed, along with the second largest munitions plant in the world handed to Germany on a silver platter. Under Chamberlain Poland fell, without the prom ised help from Britain; under Chamberlain, Spain was allowed to be torn to shreds by the wolves, only to become a threat to the empire. How Mr. Chamberlain must have pondered these mistakes when he handed in his resignation and sought shelter from the wrath of the man he had tried to appease. Give Mr. Chamberlain credit for sinceri ty, but there is no place for his name on the list of statesmen. It's free speech so long as it is not used to criticize our own candidate. In other words Wake Forest gave Caro lina a demonstration of what blitzkrieg means. Hitler says his parachute troops must not be shot except by uniformed soldiers. Well, we reckon the Britons can arrange that. There's one consolation: At this writing it doesn't seem likely that Herr Adolf will come over and get us before the football season is over.
