defending at the cost of war.
Assuming that we went to war and de
feated Japan, what would be the conse
quences, not alone to Japan, but to our
selves and to the rest of the world? They
could be nothing but the intensifying of
old national and racial hatreds and the
widening of the breach between the differ
ent people of the earth. Japan would be
ruined. We might be enriched. The worst
consequence would be the destruction of
mutual faith and goodwill, a?id of the
Chr.stian spirit oi tolerance and helpful
ness which has I. een the root of our nati
onal character and conduct.
Elntered at the post office at North Wilkea-
boro, N. C., as second clang matter under Act
ot March 4, 1879.

Drinking On Increase
It is always with regret that we record
and spread news wh'ch is unfavorable.
But tvith such regrets is realization of the
fret that publicity for bad conditions in
cites people to do something toward cor
recting them and that people are prone to
pay little attention to any menace unless
thev know its imminence.
Court record will bear out the conten
tion here given that dninkeness is decided
ly on the increase and presents one of the
chief evils of the pre.sent age.
The records and obser\’ation will also
prove that more people who drink are
drinking to excess and that alcohol is cau.s-
ing more human wrecks among the num
ber who use it for beverage puryjoses than
a' any time in the history of crilization.
Those who do not drink, and even those
who drink moderately, are at a loss to un
derstand why many of the more brilliant
boys (and some girls) allow such a curse
to ruin their lives and careers.
And we are also at a loss to understand
why so many highly talented people are
pulled into the lurch by a drink which is
not delicious or exhilerating and which un-
tiniately produces sickness and headaches.
Drinking is often taken up by examyde
and the examples who have the most in
fluence upon boys and girls are not the
tottering sots which infest the streets and
are taken to the lockups.
The examples which inadvertantly lead
more youngsters to ruin are those people
who use whisky and who control the use
of it.
\o boy wants to emulate a staggering
sot.
But a boy is apt to get it into his head
that a cocktail and a dram of whisky is the
smart thing to take because "so and so”
who is so popular and gets along .so well
does the .same thing.
The hoy who follows the example of the
dram clr'nker may find that he has no
control over drink but that drink controls
him. There is no way of knowing in ad-
varce which boy can use liquor moderately
and which one will be ruined by it.
There is only one safe course.

A firm of certified pubTc accountants
recently completed a survey in Louisville,
Ky., to discover what kind of advertising
pays best. Thees accountants \yent direct
ly to the consumer to obtain their reactions
to the various forms of advertising.
Two questions were asked: “What kind
of advertising influences you most?” and
“Which of the various types of advertising
do you find mo.st objectionable?” Here is
the record of the answers:
1. Theatre screen advertising is the
poorest kind of all.
2. Billboards and circulars are next
poorest i.. rank.
3. Radio and direct-mail are next in
line.
1. Newspaper adverthsing was declar
ed to be the mo.st effective to the general
ynihlic.
f) . The survey found no direct sales re
sistance to newspaper advciilsing; new.s-
paper advertising sold more than all other
medium combined.
7. Sixty-five out of every lO'J women
buy from newspaper advertis'ng; 51 cut
of every hundred men are influenced the
same wav.
8. Two out of every ICO women buy
from circulars while 10 out of every lOC
object to circulars. One out oT every 100
men buy from circulars and 10 object.
Thirty out of every 100 women object
to billboards and 42 out of every 100 ob
ject to theatre screen advertising.—The

Only a miracle can save the world from
a general war, says Count Jerzy Potocki.
The Polish Amba.s.sador to Washington has
voiced the thought of millions who are
fearfully watching the maneuvers that
have put 8,000,000 soldiers into the field
in Europe. Multitudes are accepting cata
strophic strife as almost inevitable. But
not quite. Human thought has reached a
stage where it rebels as never before
against the belief that strife is natlural or
neces.sary.
Through the centuries men have .sub
mitted with a sad fatalism to many kinds
of evil. Too often peace has appeared to
bo a “miracle.” When Daniel calmed the i played,

had momentarily brought good out of evil.

Looking Westward
Whim the people of Europe are shud
dering in fear of war, and many Ameri-
latt.'^ are dreading an outbreak in Europe
in which, somehow, the Lmited States wili
be involved, it .seerr..s time to look west
ward across the Pacific, and consider what
might happen should the undeclared war
between Japan and China assume a shape
which would involve American interests
and rights.
Would we go to war against Japan? If
so, why?
Intelligent people should seek for an
answer to the que.stion of why we should
go to war against any nation. Yet there is
clamor for action against Japan, some of
.t from high places.
Whose interest would bo .servmd by such
a war? That is the real question. Only
simple-minded people, w'ho do not realize
our own national strength and resources as
compared with those of Japan, have any
apprehension that Japan could defeat us.
Her naval and air forces could not invade
the United States on account of the ocean
which separates us. Therefore, we would
have to fight on Japan’s own grounds, ex
cept for detfending our outlying posses
sions in the Pacific. Except for Hawaii,
it is questionable whether those are worth
