THIS WEEK
IN DEFENSE
Congress passed and sent to
the White House legislation to
repeal three key sections of the
Neutrlity Act —Se.tion 2, bans- :
ing merchant ship entry into bel- !
ligerent porta; Section 3, barring
combat zone travel; and Section
6, prohibiting arming of ships.
Navy Secretary Knox issued a
statement that removal of the
Neutrality Act shipping restric
tions makes it "possible to get
the defense aid materials author
ized by Congress for use in the
war against the Axis powers
transported to those positions
where they can be usefully em
ployed ... it also insures... that
the war efforts of the British
Commonwealth, of China and
Russia, hold out greatly increas
ed promise of ultimate victory.. '
In an Armistice Day address
President Roosevelt said the
United States took up arm in 1917
"to make the world habitable for
decent self-respecting men." He
said the men who died then did
so to "prevent the very thing
that now... has happened from
one end of Europe to the other."
The President said the people of
America beitf.-e* liberty is \torth
fighting for, "and if they are
obliged to fight they will fight
eternally to hold it. This duty we
owe... to the many who died to
gain our freedom for us—to make
the world a place where freedom
can live and grow intci the ages."
Captive Coal Mine Dispute
The Defense Mediation Board
voted against a union shop agree
ment in the steel industry's cap
tive coal mines and stated the
United Mine Workers could
"greatly strengthen their position
before the people of the United
States" by refraining from furth
er strike action.
President Roosevelt asked
leaders of the steel industry and
the United Mine Workers to make
"a final effort to insure continued
production of coal for the manu
facture of steel." The UMW ac
ceded to the President's xequest
that work in the captive mines
continue pending further negotia
tions.
The President told his press
Relations With China and Japan
conference the United States has
decided to withdraw American
Narlnes from China. He said the
'• Marines had offered protection
to comparatively few American.*.
Navy Secretary Knox, speaking
in Providence, R. 1., said efforts
of the United States to maintain
friendly relations with Japan have
beeh "patient to a point almost
unmatched in the history of in
ternational relations," but now
"the hour of decision is here..."
He said this country is "actuated
in the Pacific no less than in the
Atlantic solely by considerations
of self-defense..."

CRACK DOWN ON THE TRAITORS
It is interesting- news that the President is at
last losing patience with that sinister gang who
are standing in the way of the defense and safety
of this Nation. . %
The President is evidently a very patient man.
But patience ceases to be a virtue if you deal j
with copperheads and tarantulas.
Our reference is particularly to that shaggy
browed Caesar who has grown so great that he is
able to defy the government and who would
probably sell his own country to gratify his lust
for power, his hate for Roosevelt and his cupidity
for pay. w •
Upon what meat does this Mogul his
word can stop production in the great steel fac
tories who are trying to make America safe?
I This Emperor of labor with his countenance
| like a pirate—what does labor expect in follow
ing him when the fully aroused and indignant
American patriots through their congressmen
at last begin to deprive labor of its gains won
through two decades? - -
Of course John L. Lewis is a product of thai
heinous doctrine let loose by Lindbergh, Wheel
er, Nye, Clark of Missouri; and other disloyal
Americans, members of the "American tirst
Committee."  -■« « -
It is devoutly to be wished that the time is
rapidly approaching when this sinister group
will hunt tall timber to escape the wrath of the
countless housands of true \mericans who
are giving* up their boys. Congressional im
munity does not shield a Senator . from his sin
of treason to his country. »
The "First Committee" will be the "Last Com
mittee" when the blood of our youth begins to
! flow. - -
j Beware the waking spirit of George \\ aching
ton, John Paul Jones, Andrew Jackson, Theodore
Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland, Stonewall Jackson
and Robert E. Lee.
! It is waking now, and can be heard in the dis
-1 tance like a rushing mighty wind,
i Woe betide those who stand in its path.

H. P. Loftis, manager of the
County Farm gave a boost to the
better livestock program of Stokes
County last week by buying a
registered Red Poll bull, from the :
Win-Mock Farms, Winston-Salem.
The young sire possesses some of i
the finest breeding to be found in
the Red Poll breed. His mother 
produced 15,143.9 pounds of milk i
last year. So far she is m ilking i
ahead of her best record. She won 1
several first prises at different I
j fairs in the state. The bull's sire
was grand-champion at the N. C.
State Fair in 1935. The calf's
'grand parents were champion ani
| mals in the show ring and produc
tion contest. It was priced at
$1,()0Q but a special price was
finally agreed on for Mr. Loftis
Iby the owner. The calf is a grand
son of the noted cow, R. L. Jose
'phine. She was a champion milker
'and show cow. She produced
15,310.2 pounds of milk in a years
time. Wt congratulate Mr. Loftis
for his fine work. The Red Poll
bred is the finest dual purpose
cows to be found. Mr. Loftia was
accompanied to the W i n-M oc k
I Farm by Sheriff John J. Taylor.
Sheriff Taylor sold several reg
istered Red Polled cows last week
for a fine sum to a dairy in For
