The economic bondage of the tenant fanner, resultant in low living stand ards, was charged with the responsi bility ' for the condition that he de dared waa proved by the records of the army physical examination in which North Carolina had an excessive per centage of rejections for mental de ficiency, subnormal physical develop ment, venereal and pulmonary dis eases. Recent articles written by Mr. Bailey on the showing of the State s youth in the draft record prompted the ofti cialt of the Orphan Association to in vite him to apenk before the session last night. He doelared that orphan age workers should be vitally inter ested in finidng an answer to a condi tion, that fills their institutions with the children of men and ' women" who di in their struggle against economic slavery. The association was welcomed to the elty by Mayor T. B.

Besults of physical, exemptions re quired under the selective .draft net, Mr. Bailev declared, ntferded a stir- ing revelation of the eonition of the masses in Nor'h Carolina. These examinations, Mr. Bailey said, showed, so far as North Carolina was concerned, that the State ranaea tenin from the wont, in rejections for pul monary and suspected tuberculosis; waa exceeded onlv by Alaska in rejec tions for mulnutrition. In rejections for vice diseases, North Carolina hsd a record of 72 per cent per thousand against the national average of 58; in rejection for mental disorders North Carolina had 24 1-2 per thousand ugainst the national average of 15; In rejee tion for defective physical develop meat North Carolina had 4.23 per thousand against the national average of S.66; while in total rejections xsortn Carolina ranked 10th. "I beg yon to consider this data," the speaker asked.. U beg you to ac count for It I beg you to change it. I beg you to do -anything with it ex cept ienore it It is evident that there ia something rong with the conditions of life in North Carolina. Compared with other 8tates in this Union, we make a ahowing that instantly demands onr attention. Pride in North Carol'na, not Inter preted in foolish boasting demands' a remedy, Mr. Bailey declared, and pri mary task is to discover a remedy. He answered the possible charge that the presence of the negro accounts for the condition by the fact that Aorta Carolina makes a worse showing than other Southern Statea with a larger percentage of negro population: Tho same answer be applied to these who would fix responsibility on the Civil War. " " ' Cropper SvVtem To Blame. There mar be other explanations,' he went on. i am not sure that we can explain this matter by any one re stricted fact But I believe we may explain It more largely in our tenant and cropper farming system than' any other."

""Nevertheless," he declared, "in ten year time the number of tenant nnJ cropper farmer has Increased by 20,. OOfc-a population increase of 100,000.
