Washington, December 19 —Are we going to revise our neutrality laws to make it legal for us to give greater help to Oreat Brit ain? That's the most important sub ject under discussion here today. That, and the fact that the Pres ident has been on a fishing trip. For, to most of Washington a fishing trip heralds an important decision, and it is expected that by adequate Auto Liability Insurance Through HUGH ROYALL ALL FORMS OF INSURANCE PHONE 111 I BteSKSSfiSi jhfc*ftWßUiiy U»jhiiiu $ i v „.

S Fit "off ~ ' W 1 soon after the President returns he is apt to say just what he thinks we should do about in creasing help to Britain and mak ing it possible to loan money to that country. The visit of England's Sir Frederick Phillips to Washington, Is also expected to bring to a head a decision on the loan to Britain question. Sir Frederick came here primarily to lay the groundwork for loans and to pre sent figures to show the present financial strength of the British Empire and its ability to pay. He has said that Britain is now spending about $45,000,000 a day on the war and that help will be needed soon. Question of Involvement To the people ill this country, and to Congress, the problem Isn't so much how England will pay. It is more how much we will be in volved in the war if we decide to repeal our law which now pre vents loans to nations which haven't paid their debts from the last war. That law was one of several which were passed in order to keep our country in a neutral position. Among the people as well as among Congressmen, there is a wide division of opinion on what should be done. The ques tion revolves around the one point which affects so many deci sions in Washington today namely: Are we willing to risk war for America in order to aid Britain's chances of defeating the Axis powers? On this subject, Congressional thought ranges from those who think we should enter the war Beware Coughs from common colds That Hang On Creomulsion relieves promptly be cause it goes right to the seat of the trouble to help loosen and expel germ laden phlegm, and aid nature to soothe and heal raw, tender, in flamed bronchial mucous mem branes. Tell your druggist to sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with the un derstanding you must like the way it quickly allays the cough or you are to have your money back. CREOMULSION for Coughs, Chest Colds, Bronchitis Immediately to those who think that It Isn't our war and we should, keep our hands off no matter what happens. Public opinion has been polled on this question many times, but there still seems to be no clear group feeling on the subject. The American nation has clearly said that It wants our defenses built to the hilt and that's as far as it is willing to talk for the record. But there Is no doubt that the next session of Congress will be forced to decide this vital ques tion. Although the war and our de fense program overshadow every thing else In Washington today, there are still oJier problems which require intelligent consid eration. One subject which Is be ing widely discussed at the mo ment is that of changes in repre sentation in Congress based on the new 1940 Census. It Is not expected that there will be an increase in the number of representatives In the House, since a law was passed in 1929 to limit the number of representa tives to 435—the number which have been in the House ever since 1910. That law could be changed to increase the number, but it is not thought likely that that will be done. There are several methods that Congress can use to reapportion the representation of the various states based on their new popula tion. At the present time each representative speaks f6r slightly over 300,000 people. After each census action is taken to reap portion representation in line with population shifts. If the method used after the 1930 Census is adopted by this Congress, eight states would gain representatives and ten states would lose one. California would gain three and the following states would each gain one: Arizona, Florida, Mich igan, New Mexico, North Caro lina, Oregon and Tennessee. The states which would each lose one are: Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, lowa, Kansas, Massa chusetts, Nebraska, Ohio, Okla homa and Pennsylvania.

BMITHWICK County Agent Mr. W. J. Barker, assistant Ex tension forester, from State Col ege, Raleigh, contacted several farmers at the county agent's of fice in Dobson concerning plant ing, thinning, and marketing of timber. Mr. Barker pointed out that or ders were rapidly going into the department office for tree seed lings. Most of the seedlings of pines recommended for this coun ty sell for $2.00 per thousand de livered. One thousand trees set six feet by seven feet will plant one acre. Some of the farmers discussing planting admitted that there were few farms in Surry county that do not have a pldce where pines or locusts can be planted to an advantage. It should be remembered that each acre of tree seedlings planted counts three units or $4.50 per acre under the 1941 Agricultural Conservation Program in addition to the regular payment on the farm up to $15.00 worth. Order blanks for seedlings may be se cured at the county agent's office in Dobson. Persons desiring in formation concerning planting seedlings should contact the county agent's office in Dobson. GREEN BLANKET FOR WINTER - Winter cover cropping is win ning its way as an outstanding contribution to southern agri culture. Valued originally as soil improvers, recent emphasis has been on the protective value of cover crops. The roots and fol iage insist erosion. When the AAA farm programs of recent years began to encourage conser vation practices cover cropping spurted ahead until now the acreage is counted in millions of acres. In 1938, farmers of 13 Southern States planted 10 mil lion acres of cover crops in con nection with the AAA.- In 1939 they increased the acreage to more than 18 million. Southern farm leaders say there is urgent need to protect from a fourth to a third of the crop land in the South each winter with a green cover-crop blanket. country, have caused a lot of angry arugments here and It is expected that these arguments will grow more fervent in discus sions in Congress. With the country sacrificing billions to j build defenses, most Congressmen ! are in no mood to permit anti- Democratic groiips or individuals to interfere with that program. And it is expected that they will propose legal means to make fast jwork of putting the screws on Fifth Column activities. It is the general feeling that in [spite of the excellent work cer tain individuals, such as J. Edgar j Hoover, are doing to control these activities, the government is be ing too lax with/ the situation. Closely tied up with these ac tivities, in the eyes of Congress, are the labor problems and strikes which have slowed up work in defense industries. On the floor of Congress, Representative Sumners, of Texas, who heads a subcommittee which is seeking the answer to the defense strike situation, warned that unless ac tion is taken we will have the same' situation as in France, "where manufacturers were con cerned for a profit and the opera tives were concerned for what they called social gains." Mr. Sumners said that the na tion "will not tolerate for one split second that anybody can paralyze the operation of these plants upon which the safety of this nation may depend." It is expected that the next session of Congress will pass re medial legislation which will pre vent all interference on the part pf either labor or emplbyers. CHANGE The principal change in the 1941 AAA program, as part of a continuing policy to place more emphasis on soil conservation, makes available a greater share of funds for soil-building prac tices. HIDES Argentine hides now have their largest market in this country, the United States taking about 60 per cent, of the total pro duced by the South American re public.
