HULL AND EDEN NOW IN MOSCOW (Continued From Page One) ling problems the peace will present. The final agreement presumabl; will be left to the projected late: meeting of President Roosevelt Prime Minister Churchill and Pre mier Stalin. Much may hinge on whethei Stalin is convinced that peace car be assured by some Internationa agency. It may be noted that Rus sia seized control of Estonia, Lat via and Lithuania and occupied half of Poland in 1939 on the con tention that these territories were necessary for her defense One of the questions now asked in this country is whether she would be willing to give them up in “the post-war world if she can come to a satisfactory agreement with Britain and the United States on means to assure her security. The same issue of Pravda which declared that the question for the meeting is the second front ruled out discussion of the Baltic states. “The borders of the Soviet Union,” it said, “could no more serve as a subject of discussion than, for instance, the borders of the Uni ted States or the status of Califor nia.” That, whatever else it may mean, emphasizes the delicacy and diffi culty of discussions of the post war world. Other major questions are what treatment is to be accorded a de feated Germany? What shall be the fate of Poland? What about the Balkan States? And aside from questions of boundaries, the matter of which groups are to govern in Europe, once peace is restored may pre sent issues. In Yugoslavia at pre sent theie is the picture of Parti san forces, reportedly supported Vnr 'Rncci'a of nHHc uritVi thp a r mies of General Draja Mihailovic, supported by King Peter and the Yugoslav government in exile. Where Italy is concerned, the Russians have gone along with Bri tain and the United States in deal ing with the government of the House of Savoy and Marshall Bado glio as a co-belligerent. They have joined, too, in a pledge that the Italian people will be allowed to establish their own government “by constitutional means’ in due course. In general little has been dis closed as to the Soviet views on the post-war world whereas the American views have been sketch ed in broad outline by Hull. In a broadcast address on Sep tember 12 pull declared the peace must be backed by readiness to use force to maintain it. He also declared for establishment of an international agency to settle in tematoinal political differences by peaceful means, and for es tablishment of an international court of justice. -V Cioitans Hold Annual ‘Ladies’ Night’ Fete The Civitan Club held its an nual “Ladies Night” recently when they met at the Blue Top lodge in a farewell to Adair Mc Coy, who is leaving Wilmington.

Householders Given Hope Of Getting Coal Supply WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.— 0B — Chilly householders who have or dered coal and can’t get it were given hope of early relief today as more than 1.800 mines were or dered to speed between 300,000 and 400,000 tons into the hands of wait ing retailers. Secretary lckes, as solid fuels administrator, reporting critical shortages of coal for household use in several areas, said domestic consumers now are feeling the ef fects of the coal strikes last spring. “We have never recovered” from the loss of 25,000,000 tons of coal in those strikes. lckes said in a statement announcing that most of the bituminous mines east of the Mississippi ■ have been or dered to divert one day’s output this week, exclusive of industrial types, to “all-rail” retailers from whom they now have orders that are unfilled. “All-rail” retailers are those who get their coal by rail without any transshipments by truck. Retailers have been delayed in receiving their orders because coal has been flowing in large quanti ties to war plants and to great lakes docks for shipment before winter closes the lakes. The solid fuels administration said most of the emergency ship ments will go to retailers east of the Mississippi. The order went to bituminous mines of Pennsylvania, West Vir ginia, Kentucky, Ohio, northern Tennessee, Virginia, Indiana and Illinois, except for mines owned outright by the steel companies and mines which can ship only by truck. Anthracite mines were not af fected, as most of their coal now goes to retailers. The bituminous mines in Alabama, where produc tion has been halted by a strike, did not receive the order, and it was explained that the coal situ ation is not as critical in areas served by the Alabama mines as it is in regions where temperatures have dropped sharply. The 1,800 mines which got the order normally produce about 1, 300,000 tons a day, but the Solid Fuels Administration explained that only prepared sizes are in- J eluded, and that screenings which can be used for industrial and metallurgical purposes will contin ue to go for those uses. Ickes said the need for the order emphasizes again “the critical con dition of the coal industry—it has only been possible through the strictest distribution controls that we have been able to keep steel mills and other war production in dustries operating the past few months.” He said one day's production wouldn’t meet all household de mands—“it will, however, relieve the pressure in many of the criti cal areas which have been without coal since the weather turned cold, and will permit coal dealers to give their customers whose bins are empty, enough coal to alleviate discomfort and sickness which might result from heatless homes, schools and hospitals.” triplecrIses SEEN FOR AXIS (Continued From Page One) tion up the Italian peninsula have been issued from Berlin. That im plies that there may have been forced thinning out of troops de ployed for a final stand in north central or southern Italy due to the increasingly tense situation in Yugoslavia. Both the Yugoslav patriot fac tions are now reported from Cairo in full action against Nazi invad ers. They say that two or more Nazi divisions have been rushed to reinforce Nazi Marshal Rommel’s troops. The implication is that they may have been taken out of Italy for that purpose since Mos cow advices say Nazi reinforce ment divisions hastily drawn from Poland, the Netherlands, Denmark and France have been recently encountered on the eastern front A growing strain upon the Nazi high command to meet all the commitments of the present de fense front is obvious. Only by a new drastic shortening of the line in Russia can that be met, and the indicated retreat from the Dnieper bend and the Crimea could accomplish that and" also greatly ease the enemy’s transportation problems if it was achieved with out a disaster.

His plane left England Oct. 11. _V Wilmington Ends Fourth Week With No Rainfall There has been no rain in Wilmington since four weeks ago today. Considering that the normal rainfall for Octo ber is 3.27 inches, this month will probably fall far below normal. This prediction, to gether with the fact that the normal of November, driest month of the year, is 1.96 inch es, indicates a long dry s.pell — all of which doesn’t give much hope for relief of the water situation of this city.

Indeed, if all the food, textiles, and other basic war materials produced on the farms of our State were suddenly lost to America’s war effort, it would be as disastrous as the loss of many major battles. 278,276 North Carolina farms today are producing the things needed desperately by the fighting men and war workers of the United Nations. Nearly 1,700,000 people (more than 45% of North Caro lina’s population) are “in there pitching” —to set new records for farm output. The first of North Carolina’s farm products in value is tobacco, followed by com and cotton. Our State ranks 1st in the nation in tobacco growing, 14th in com and 8th in cotton. And these are just a few of the crops and products that our farms are yielding—under a far sighted policy established by successive legislatures that has given agriculture its rightful place in the State’s economy. Members of the Greyhound organiza tion (a large number of whom grew up on North Carolina farms) have a par ticular interest in our North Carolina neighbors who live and work on farms and in rural communities. Our buses are, in many cases, their only means of public transportation. We feel we’re helping them do their big job better—by giving them easy access to nearby towns and cities for market ing crops, buying farm supplies and for seeking relaxation. Our buses have also aided them by bringing farm workers right to their gates. It’s all part of the job in which Greyhound takes the greatest pleasure — making near neighbors and good neighbors of all the communities that our buses serve in North Carolina.
