Opportunities Have Been Offered Through
Daily Dispatch; There Are Many Needy
All of the six Christmas Oppor
tunities left yesterday in the list cai
ried by the Daijv Dispatch for tho
Salvation Army had been taken t>y
generous-hearted citizens today, clean
ing up a list of 32 needy families first
published late last week. But there
are many other needy families, anu
eight of them are given today for
the first time.
Adjutant and Mrs. Joseph
in chaige of the local corps of the
Salvation Army, vouch for the worth
iness of every individual ease offered,
declaring th'at each one of them lias
been personally investigated and
found to merit the assistance sought
for them. As long as there is demand
for cases of needy families as Christ
mas Opportunities there will be cases
that can be furnished, it was said, as
there are a great many of them.
There is no disposition, it was said,
to take advantage of a gererous pub
lic's sympathy and willingness to be
liberal, and families are not being
trumped tip merely because some one
is ready to help. But there are many
of them actually in destitute circun*-
stances. it is said.
Both the Salvation Army and the
Daily Dispatch are grateful to the
Henderson public for the very liberal
response that has been made so far.
In the some 15 years the Daily Dis
patch has carried on this work at
Christmastime in»cooperation with
officers of the Salvation Army, there
never has been such qu'.ck response
as this season. !

780 NEW LICENSES
HAVE BEEN BOUGHT
Branch Office Here Dispos
ing of 1935 Slate Tags
At Rapid Pace
A total of 091 State automobile li
censes for 1935 and 9 truck and trail
er licenses, or 780 in all, had been
sold at the local branch office of the
Carolina Motor Club up the close
of business Tuesday, Miss Nell Jor
dan, manager of the office, said to
day. She also stated that motorists
were crowding the office all day about
as rapidly as they could be waited on.
and that the demand for the new
tags was greater than at this time a
year ago.
The local office usually sells from
1.000 to 5,000 license plates a year,
which means that several thousand
motorists must still get their licenses
between now and the first of the
year.
Miss Jordan appealed to those who
have not yet bought their licenses to
do so as early as possible, so thai
they may avoid the rush and the long
waits that will be necessary for those
who do not come for their tags until
the last day or two before the law
requires the new ones to be display
on automobiles, which is January 1.
Those whd display 1934 tags on
their cars after January 1 will be
hade to arrest and prosecution lor
not complying with the State law.

Japan Must Share World
Markets If Peace Holds
In Orient, llussell Says
Duke Professor, Home From Far East, Says Japs Like
Americans and Pleads for Understanding of Those
People; Speaks to Civic Club Meeting
If peace is to be assured through
the years in toe Far East, Japan
must be given a share of the great
world markets for her manufactures
and her trade in general, and that is
all the nation is asking, Dr. Elbert
Russell, dean of the school of religion
at Duke University, told a civic club
gathering at YVest End Country Club
here Tuesday evening. Some 150 to
200 persons attended.
The event was under the auspices
of the Henderson Rotafy club, with
the arrangements made by E. F.
Shaw, secretary of the club. Hender
son Kiwanis and Lions clubs and
Oxford Rotary club members also at
tended in a body, together with some
invited guests. Each club member haa
the privilege of bringing a lady. It
was the occasion of the Rotary .club’s
observance of international relations
night. x
Rev. C. K. Proctor, superintendent
of the Oxford Orphanage and presi
dent of the Oxford Rotary club, pre
sented Dr, Russell, declaring it was
appropriate at this season of the yeai
to think of international peace and
brotherly love.
S. H. Watkins, president of the Hen
derson Rotary club, presided, and the
music was in charge of John A. Park.
Raleigh Rotarian. Mr. \Tatkins wel
comed the visitors after Rev. I. W.
Hughes, rector of Holy Innocents
Episcopal church of Henderson, had
given the invocation. The presidents
of the visiting clubs were recognized,
with their wives. Mrs. E. F. Shaw,
pianist for the Rotary club, accom
panied the songs. Two numbers were
given by the Kiwanis quartette, con
sisting of “Dutch" Glenn. J. C. Gard
ner, W. B. Harrison, Dorsey Evans,
assisted by Miss Helen Kimball, and
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1934
With A. P. Barnes at the piano. R.
J. Jones led in the final singing.
At one stage of the program, Sam
Alford presented to the club presi
dent., T. S. Kittrell, the Alford cup
given by Mr. Alford to the civic club
which turned in the most cash and
pledges in the recent Salvation Army
annual Home Service Appeal here.
It will be a permanent trophy to be
given each year to th e club that ren
ders the best service in Salvation
Army drives in the city. Mr. Kittrell
accepted the cup on behalf of his
organization.
The dinner, unanimously apparised
a most excellent meal, was served by
a group of ladies of the West End
school Parent-Teacher Association.
Dr. Russell's subject was “The Out
look for Peace in the Far East.” Hav
ing returned only a few months ago
from a world tour, much of which
was spent in Japan, Chin* and India,
Dr. Russell declared the Japanese
like Americans and have no quarrel
with this country. He pleaded for an
understanding of the Far East situa
tion, but said he thought there was
much more- likelihood of war in the
Orient withih a generation than there
is in Europe.
Dr. Russell fcjited the vast popula
tion of Eastern Asia, and said that
Japan was “not the little fellow,” but
that, including Korea and Manchu
kuo, the island empire has approxi
mately 120.000.000 population, or
about the same as thevUnited States.
It is on the increae.' &nd the pro
blem of feeding and employing that
vast horde is Japan’s proijlem. China
probably is not increaing "ss. fast as
Japan, due to floods and pestilences
cutting a big death rate ther&vtlnless
western nations’ are going \A, help
these eastern peoples, they had -bet
ter keep out of those countries. Th*
speaker did not think the governin'*
class militaristic in Japan, but the
great temptation is that the leaders
in order to avoid internal dissensions
and revolution at home may some dav
start a foreign war to unite the peo
pie. He said the Japs are not going
to colonize Manchukuo, that they took
it for economic reasons.
Dr. Russell feared a great naval
race with the breakdown of the dis
armament discussions in London, and
said that such a race for naval arm
aments would bankrupt Japan, and
may force the ruling class to deter
mine to fight the thing- out, since
they would have nothing to lose. They
have adopted western civilization, and
they know they are as good as we.
are, the speaker said. Th e Japs ai>
a sensitive people, and are not so
anxious for as big a navy as the
United States and Great Britain as
they are to have their own race re
cognized for its importance. They are
not going to stand for the “superior
ity complex’’ of the western nations
Dr. Russell declared. H e was proud
that when Japan sought a model for
her modern civilization she pattern
»d her schools after the United State
I whil« taking the British navy and
the German army as models for her
war mad lines.
Japan may be forced to turn to a
foreign war to cover up her deficit,
which is growing larger every year
and the people will not long stand
for much more of this.
China has not forgotten and will
not forget the “Manchukuan steal”
by Japan, and the young Chinese are
tending toward militarism, with the
thought of some day getting even
with Japan. China’s boycott of Japa
nese cotton goods is a more effective
weapon than war, however.
The intolerable agrarian situation
in the east is proving a fertile field
for communism, which is being spread
by Soviet Russia missionaries, and
the farm peasants are taking to it a?
a hope of relief from the money len
der. the landlord and the tax col
lector, Communism means that and
nothing more to the Oriental. And
unless western civilization offers
something better. China and part 3 of
India most likely will eventually go
communistic. Dr. Russell said.
