claaa mall matter.
From Press dispatches Adolph Hitler wants the Unit
ed States to intervene and settle the war conditions in
i Europe. What's the use. The United States dictated
and arranged the settlement in 1918 and Hitler is the
one that become dissatisfied and broke the plan. We
see no need of further intervention.

Some plan should be arranged in the new Crop Con
trol set up whereby a farmer whose acreage has been cut
to the point he cannot operate economically and wants
to discontinue planting cotton and tobacco for one or
more years, may do so without being deprived of his
rentals, parity and other payments or declared a non
tobacco or cotton farmer and not given future allot
ments. One should be encouraged to discontinue the
production, rather than be forced to produce on an allot- J
ment that will create a loss.

The TIMES acknowledges receipt of a copy of "North
Carolina, a Guide to the Old North State," recently pub
lished by the University of North Carolina Press, spon
sored by the Conservation and Development Depart
ment and compiled and written by the Federal Writers'
Project of the Federal Works Agency Work Projects
Administration. It contains a brief outline of North
Carolina's historical, and beauty spots arranged in tours
following the^main state highways. It is a well gotten
up edition of interesting qnd valuable facts and pictures
and reflects credit upon the sponsors and all whose ef
forts contributed to its completion. It is one book that
should be in every North Carolina home .and school.
ooo
One of the most unreasonable acts we have seen in '
some time was that of the Council of State doing away
with the State Guide at Kaleigh and plating the lady
Secretary in the Rotunda of the Capitol. To spend a
quarter million dollars to invite people of the world to
visit North Carolina and then not spend fifteen hundred
to show them around when they come is unwise and. in
consistent. It reminds us of the fellow who sent out
invitations to a large number of friends to visit his es- .
tate and when they came he sat in his library and said
to them "look for yourself if you want to see it." We
hope the Council will see the error of its way and re
establish the Guide as it is one of the most valuable po
sitions in the State, in connection with the advertising
campaign. They might also keep the lady Secretary ? 1
this position is not invaluable.
^ Now that the tobacco control has been carried by the '
tremendous majority of nine to one the only thing to
do is to join iu hearty cooperation in giving it another
trial. The big kick heretofore seems to have been di
rected against the township committees or the county
committees. Regardless of whether the complaints
"were justly made, they were a source of criticism and j
dissatisfaction. In fact there were many injustices in
the county, but some should have been expected, since
people are not perfect. Provision should be made for
correcting any of these injustices that may appear in the
future. Also the many complaints of discourtesies
should be carefully discouraged. As will be seen from
a statement from the County Agents department, ar
rangements are being made for an election to elect
township and county committees. The new law provides
for this election and it is the duty of all eligible growers
who feel that the committees are not properly respon
sive to the public interest and fairness to go out and take
yan active part in electing an entirely new set of com
mitteemen. In electing these committeemen each vfcter
should realize that this Crop Control activity is the big
gest business in the county and should have at its head
the best business brains in the county. Not only should
it be composed of men who have made a success of their
own business, but who are capable of being the head of
any other big business. Before voting for a person to
tell you what crop you should plant and what your parity
should be you should ask yourself the question, would
you think he is capable of being President or Cashier
of a bank, the head of a big Corporation, the head of
youf county government or other responsible position.
There is no greater responsibility in the county in any
business than is membership on these committees, and
each member should be educationally, morally, spirit
ually and courageous enough not only to be eligible to
hold any other big business but to be honest and fair
in dealing with the farmers as a class and the govern
ment. It is this one point that is going to detei;mi/ie
the future satisfactory operation of the Control more
than any other.

PUBLIC RESENTMENT
THE ONLY CURB
Since the World War, Great Britain's national debt
increased only $2,000,000,000, up to the end of last year.
In the nine years since depression struck the United
national debt has increased more than $25,
000,000,000. ,
? In those two sets of figures you see vividly illustrated

MODERN MAGIC CARPET ? Han't century-old dream of hotter transportation

removes the itolatloa of the farm, attorda swift and economical movement of
lOOdt from factories and providet billions of hours of human happiness to
motorlsta. Despite the benefits, excessive taxes are imposed opon highway
transportation? more than 1 1 .500.000.000 annuallv.
the magnitude and gravity of our debt problem. No
nation in the world has been so prodigal as we in spend
ing what we have not earned. In no nation has the na
tional debt ? which means a mortgage against all that
we, have, and all that may be produced by our children ,
? soared so rapidly or so high.
Worst of all, the debt problem grows more menacing
every day. The national budget is almost as far out of
balance now as it was early in the depression. In spite
of the highest and greatest nurltbe* of taxes in our na
tional history, the Federal government continues to
spend billions more than it receives in revenue each year.
It is obvious that we can expect no help from the poli
ticians ? they will spend and spend and spend as long as
the voters acquiesce. The solution must come from
public rebellion against wasteful spending. There must
be an end to Federal competition with business and fi
nancing projects which are purely local and ten years
ago would have been paid for with local money. There
must be an end to grab-bag tactics by counties, munici
palities, states. There must be an end to the insane de
lusion that we can get something for nothjng.
FROM CEDAR ROCK
The FRANKLIN TIMES,
Louisburg, N. C.
Mr. Editor: ? As I haven't seen
anything from Cedar Rock In
some time, if you will allow me,
I will give you a little of Cedar
Rock news. I haven't heard any
thing for Hie last two months but
tobacco Control. Now that the
election is all over and Control
was carried, I hope it will be for
the best. Mr. Editor, if the au
thorities will treat everybody
right, and alike, -it will be all
right, but for a few pets to get
what they want and others get
nothing to compare with their
neighbors, there will be a great
howl. The County Agents should
treat everybody alike in every re
spect. Give every man what he is
entitled to have ? big or little
alike. Have no big I and no little
u's. This brings on trouble,
which has come from just such
doings. I would like to see crop
Control carried out in an honest
way, but you know it lias not been
carried out as it should have been.
There are some folks you cant
satisfy. The committee should hue
to the line and let the chips fall
where they will. But be sure to
treat all alike. If I was on the
committee I would not listen to
Paul nor Peter. I hope they will
carry It out to a letter. If they j
will there will be less growling
and give every man what he is
entitled to, big, little, rich or
poor, alike ? have no pets.
Well cotton is the sorriest this
year I have erver seen, corn and
peas are good, and sweet potatoes
are very common. The^farmers
are sowing right much grain this
fall. Some are planning to sow
wheat, which I think is a good
sign, and I think everybody will
work out all right. You can't
please everybody. I think we will
get more for this crop with Con
trol than we would otherwise, but
we need not expect no high aver
age for it.
Well, Mr. Editor, we have the
best school at Edward Best this
year we have ever had. Mr. Tim
berlake is one of the best princi
pals we have-ever had and Mr.
McClure, our agricultural teach
er, is a fine young man. Some of
the students said the other day,
he explained everything better
than anyone they ever Baw in a
school room. Our aim Is to have
one of the best schools in the
*
county, so I hope everything will
work out all right*
