C, ao aeAod claw laattn ante Act if Anh 4, im THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1940 t- Famine On Horizon Recent magazine articles have pointed oat that a major famine in Europe is just as inevitable as any preconceived happen ing. A food famine in the old countries, several writers have said, is just as cer tain as the sunrise in the morning, al though not that near in the future. People of Belgium, Holland, Norway, Poland and France are going to feel the food shortage acutely during the next winter, economists say, and if the war continues the German people will also feel the pinch of shortened rations. Eng land may] be in a similar predicament if the war continues and the German sub marines become more plentiful in the sev en seas. These predictions of famine are based on several natural and sound economic reasonings. In the first place, the pro ductive man power of almost all of Europe is under arms instead of producing food and clothing on the farms and in the fac tories. Many productive fields have been marred by battle. Mine laying on almost everj' coast has made deep sea fishing im practical and dangerous. Industry has been converted into a war machine for war materials production and food has been forgotten in the rush. There is plenty of food in the world and now In the procdss of production. But the age-old problem of distribution has been severely aggravated by war and it seems that the war lords of Europe may eventually go down in dismal defeat be cause of their own ambitions of conquest and military might. We have the food to feed millions but there is the problem of shipping through mines and submarines. And there is also the little matter of payment for food. France, Belgium, Holland and Norway have gold holdings in this country but the German mark is no go in any country ex cept Germany. It is positively no good in world trade. The German people, whom Hitler thinks are the salt of the earth, will get what food is available. The people of the coun tries his military might has conquered are going to suffer and perhaps—starve. Two-Fold Job Airplanes aind /ta^k8'^ are not, the needs'of national defense. If, the United States is going to be’well equipped to f^4 the problems that the future may brirfg, manufacturing industry must be in gobd running order, and it must continue to ans wer the requirement^ of the civilian popu lation of this country. If for no other rea son, this is the case because we must de pend upon industry, directly or indirect ly, for a large part of the revenues neces sary to finance our huge new defense pro gVam. Industry has two problems which it must deal with effectively. One is national defense. The other, as one spokesman has put it, is “domestic defense of national prosperity.” If America recognizes these truths— and the public today is demanding realism in the work of achieving national security —industry is capable of doing both these jobs effectively. her MfMtfc dsriaf ^ knrt> ■ ^ Mrs. I^nSSi day. f T h 6 W^Jant arove’ Sutttojr school is RrosrewlaK nlcoly V|th an attendance of ai>oat liX each- Sunday. Mr. Vangba B. Jenntnga has besa. snperfntendeat ot/]te Borrowed Comment Clean Up Politics Now that Congress has pa.ssed the Hatch act barring state employes paid in full or in part from federal funds, from taking an active part in politics, it has been suggested that the legislature of North Carolina pass a similar act barring state and county employes from political activi ty and thus turn the elections over to the people where they belong. The recent amendments to the Hatch Act will mean that, not only tho.se who are paid directly by the federal govemmen but all government employes paid in part from federal funds are barred from poli tical work. This should bring about some election reform but still does not go far enough to turn elctions over to the free will of the electorate. One major political evil in which both major parties have participated is the po litical activity on the part of job holders, - who go to extreme lengths in political coercion and do the bidding of the politi cal bosses in order to perpetuate them- lielves in their jobs. ^ In other words, the situation has reach- ; : >d the deplorable state wherein the abili- 4y of a person to do the duties of a govem- job have become subservient to his i. Ability to get votes on election day by fair means or foul. ...

In the referendum, growers have three alternatives: Voting for one year control; Voting for three year control; Voting against control. It is not a local issue, but an issue which is to be decided by parti cipating growers in all tobacco-growing states. Statisticians of the United States De partment of Agriculture have studied the tobacco situatloiTftt)m every poiiit of view and they have reached conclusions which have been placed before administration * chiefs in the Department of Agriculture. On the basis of conclusions reached, ma- ! chinery and financial support provided by the Congress of the United States, the De- I partment has formulated plans for con sideration by growers in their referendum I The statistical experts have concluded that the total of the votes in the referen- I dum will determine the price which grow- I ers will receive for their tobacco when it i it placed on sale in the summer and fall. Experience during the past six years ha? shown conclusively that these experts arc accurate in their calculations and that it I is good farm business to follow their recommendations. I They tell us, for instance, that if one- ! year quotas are voted, that the Federal government will not be able to protect prices at the 14.9 cents per pound the 1939 crop brought, and that allotments for 1941 would be reduced by only 10 per cent. They tell us, further, that if growers re ject quotas, and each grower produces and markets as much tobacco as he desires or is able, that the 1940 crop will bring a price range of 5 to 10 cents. On the other hand, if growers wish to go all the way, pledge their cooperation for three years, and stand by that pledge for 1941 through 1943, the Federal gov ernment will protect prices of the now ma turing crop at a price not below, probably slightly above, the 14.9 cents per pound paid in 1939. The sole interest of the government of the United States, or of the state of North Carolina, in making the referendum possi ble, is to assure a reasonable income for those engaged in the production of tobac co. The government nor agfents of the government, but farmers, those’ engaged in the actual production of tobacco, alone can put the con'trol program into effect. Saturday is their one and only chance to -do that. j Five days are left in which growers i might discuss the control progr^ "with I their farm^ committees, their county ’ agent, banker, merchant, doctor, preacher, son, daughter or wife, consider it from every angle—and then vote. I The outcome of the referendum will have important bearing upon the future welfare of the totiacco, section.
