The NRA Skeleton Has Life Extended. Despite the attempt of Huey Long to talk to death the NRA skeleton from which the Supreme Court recently ripped the codified flesh, the Senate early Thursday morning breathed into it the breath of life for another period. This week ends the period, for which the NftA was launched “two years ago. The measure was jrapidly written and presented to the Congress with a demand for immediate pas sage. Our Bayard "Clark declined to vote for measures which he had not ’had time to read. It seemed a dangerous thing to do to lodge in the hands of the- President the powers incorporated^ in the hastily prepared and! little considered measure. But the measure passed; nearly two years later the Supreme Court declares it to have been, in •its most, important -essentials, un constitutional. It is not surprising that Congressman Clark declined to swallow the dose at the' instant bidding of the new administration. But he, and the rest'of us, did not ..know Roosevelt at that time as we know him now. Despite the uriconstitutionality of the measure, the: ''extraordinary " authority was safely con ferred-*into‘ his hands. JBut in case of- another than a Roosevelt, it is-conceivable that it might have proved a different mat ter. ' . ‘The definite limit upon' the life of that delegation of authority was the one thing that reconciled many to the transfer of the extraordinary power to the President. But as the months have passed, many have been convinced that'll stronger cen tral authority, with power to plan industries and to~fix^wages, prices, and hour^of labor, is essential to the welfare of theltation. But the Supreme Court decision came in the nick of time to prevent the ex tension of the NRA in its full force for another period. ;riBut the living skeleton has now been given a fur ther extension of life beyond this week’s limit, and with the remnant of authority left in the hands of the President and with the volun tary eo-operatioiP'orPthe part of hundreds of the greater industrial companies, it now seems probable that the loss to recovery and to a revolutionized industrial program will not be as great as feared on the announcement "of the epochal decision of the Supreme Court. . Yet every citizen ' concerned in the welfare of the'masses, as op posed to the mere prosperity of the classes, should help*’ make senti ment for the- amendment !to the Constitution demanded if this country is to have a safe, sane, and equitable economic System. President Few Completes 25th Year As Duke President When Rev. W. P.jFew was elect ed president of Trinity College 25 years ago, it was a comparatively simple task that he assumed. He scarcely dreamed that within a few years he would be the chief execu tive of a school ranking in wealth and extent of curricula and of stu dent^ body among the great institu tions^ in the land.At the close of his 25th year -as president of Trin ity, now Duke^University, the sue cessful-administration of the magni fied 'institution "more than justifies the mark of appreciation rendered him by the''institution at commence ment last week. • We might “here allude to the service of >Dr.~Turrentine, who has just retired."from the presidency of Greensboro Female College, as the president of another Methodist La st it itfipn^w ho deserves much com mendation. ■ - TV" 11 - ■? r ' | I.

The oleomargine ibusiness seems to be growing by leaps and bounds. Nearly five times as many pounds of cotton seed oil were used in the manufac ture of margarine last April as were used in April 1934, Over 11,000,000 pounds of cotton seed oil were thus used last April, and it is estimated that 125,000,000 of cot ton seed oil will be used during 1935 in margarine j making. The use of beef fats, soja bean oil, pea nut oil, and other American oils have shown immense increases. The use oi imported cocoanut ou nas in creased only 30 percent, against over 500 percent for cotton oil dur ing the first four months of the year, 1160 percent for soy bean oil, land 107 percent for peanut oil. In addition -to the immense use of American oils, the modern method of manufacture of margar ines—churning the oils in pasteur ized milk—a doubling of the milk used is to be noted. It is authorita tively estimated that the manufac ture of margarines this -year will, require one hundred million pounds of milk. ' The Kloberg bill, being consider ed.by the agricultural committee of the house of representatives, .would levy a tax of ten cents a pound'upon margarines produced from foreign made oils. If that bill'becomes law, J it is evident that the demand (for ( American produced oils vHll be greatly increased. - r Unfortuhately the cotton crop cannot be increased jo$t to allow a greater production of
