A RESUME OF GOVERNMENTAL
HAPPENINGS IN THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL
Washington. Feb. 5.?The isola
ionists in the senate began their bij
drive for outright defeat or seriou
Tiodification of the controversia
end-lease proposal with the offer
ng of a resolution by Senators Ny<
end Wheeler calling on Presiddn
Roosevelt to ascertain the war aim
if all belligerents, their peace con
aitions. and any secret treaties o
ivhich the President may hav
knowledge, which call for disposi
lion of territorial spoils.
A joint statement issued by thesi
Lwo leaders of the isolationists bloi
said: "The threat of American in
volvement in a foreign war is im
minent today?and before this na
tion plunges from the brink into thi
holocust of war. the people of thi
United States are entitled to knov
the war aims and peace condition
of England, of Germany, of Greece
of China, of Japan and any othe
warring powers.
"Most historians and student
agree that the Treaty of Versaille
provoked the prfcsent war. Befor
the United States goes any furthe
along the road to war we shouli
have assurances from our potcntia
allies that American boys will no
be plowed under European soil ev

The resolution is affording an opportunity
for floor debate in the
senate in the hope that such airing
<>f views may influence the senate
committee on foreign affairs which
, opened hearings at the beginning of
I the week.
Virtually the same parade of wit
. ni sse; whirh appeared before the
> house committee has been called bes
fore the senate group without any
1 startling changes in testimony. Sec.
notaries Hull. Morgenthau. Stimson
[i I and Knox were under much sharper
t examination of isolationist members
s on the senate committee, but remained
unshaken.
1 In the meantime, debate in the
- house has been going on. The house
. committee wound up its hearings in
j executive session and heard testimony
of three military and naval
c chiefs. House debate is being watch.
od sharply in the senate, and espe.
cially the disposition made of Rep.
resentative Hamilton Fish's seven
proposed amendments which, Mr.
2 Fish said, have the following pur,
poses:
s I "To prohibit the President from
I giving away any part of the navy.
r "To prohibit the use of American
navy vessels to convoy American or
s British ships into the war zone.
s "To limit the value of war matee
rials to be lent to Britain to $2,000,'r
000,000.
[1 "To require that Britain put up
il some kind of collateral for any war
t materials received.
"To strike out the provision of the
bill permitting belligerent warships
1 to base upon or enter American
e ports for repairs or outfitting.
r "To limit the life of the bill, preferably
to one year,
n "To define the section which r.
e peals any provision of existing iii'.v
^ when the President deems such provision
stands in the way of national
defense."
Cloture Talk Ceases
The house will soon be through
with the bill, but it is not expected
to emerge from the senate foreign
affairs committee for at least another
two weeks and then will be subjected
to unlimited debate on the
senate floor. All talk of a cloture in
the senate, which would set a timelimit
on debate, has ceased, and
Washington is awaiting the most
bitter and acrimonious debating
since World War 1.
Yet there has been no change here
in official quarters in the belief that
the bill will pass without too many
curbs and that in its final shape,
President Roosevelt will have just
about what he wanted when he first
sent the bill for consideration. It is
to be noted that in the past, the administration
has sent bills which
called for far more than was actually
wanted?just so that there would
be room for compromise, and while
the lend-lease bill would undoubtedly
be welcomed in its entiretly,
compromises can readily be made.
Approves Four Bills
While the senate awaited the report
from the foreign affairs committee
and argued the Wheeler-Nye
resolution, it took time out to approve
four bills which authorize
more than $1,350,000,000 for vessels
of all types, their armament and personnel
to man them. This is the
largest ship construction program in
the history of the country and, if it
were not for the debate on the lend
lease bill, would be front page news.
At least 253,000 additional workers
will be employed in navy yards
between now and June, 651 new
midshipmen will be admitted to the
United States naval academy, 200
cargo ships and 400 small navy
fighting ships will be on the construction
line and 58 of the navy's
fighting ships will have additional
armour plate added to them.
With the whole nation stirring to
its greatest defense effort in its history,
the attitude of labor is assuming
increasing importance here. Encouragement
was found in the statement
of Joseph S. McDonagh, secretary-treasurer
of the American Federation
of Labor, who voiced his ap

4.06S NEW 4-H CLUB
MEMBERS ARE SOUGHT ;
A now record for North Carolina'
of 55.632 members of 4-H Clubs '
was established in 1940. but L. R
Harrell. State 4-H Club leader of N. <
C. State College, promptly issued a i
challenge for an increase to 60,000
members in 1941. The 1.613 active
4-H Clubs last year was also a new
high for the state, but Harrell says
"we should have at least 1.700 clubs
in 1941, and a minimum of five
clubs in each county."
The extension service club leader
announced the following important
4-H dates to remember in 1941: The!
4-H crops judging contest at the N. j
C. Crop Improvement Association'
seed show in Greensboro on Febrti-1
ary 1: the annual 4-H Church Sunday
on April 27: the Older Youth
conference at State College June 10
14; :the State 4-U short course at
Slate College July 28-August 2: the
stale wildlife conference August
25-30: and the 4-H state dress re- i
view at State College October 3.
Harrell extended congratulations j
to the Copeland 4-H Club in Surry
county, which was selected as tlv.
best 4-H Club in the state in 1940 1
The Copeland club had 45 mem- i
bcrs enrolled and they completed 72 ;
projects last year. Members of the !
club also participated in camp. 4-H
council, community, county, district j
and state activities.
The best club in the state receives i
annually a cash award of ?100 to be
used lor club or community develop- !
nient. Other state prizes include a '
four-year college scholarship to the |
outstanding -t-H club boy; one year
college scholarships for tn e best:
corn, cotton, tobacco, horticulture
and dairy calf projects: and many
other honors.
INOCULANTS
It is estimated that over $2,000.000

are sold annually in the
United States now as compared with
only $1,000,000 worth in 1930.
